garden designers
Outdoor space architects
Garden designers are professionals who plan and create outdoor spaces, combining horticultural knowledge with aesthetic principles.
They work with plants, hardscape, and terrain to shape landscapes for homes, businesses, or public spaces.
Unlike landscape architects, who typically handle larger-scale projects requiring engineering expertise, garden designers often focus on residential plots and ornamental plantings: We hired a garden designer to reimagine the backyard.
