landscape gardener
Outdoor space designer
A landscape gardener designs and maintains outdoor spaces—gardens, lawns, and plantings around homes and buildings.
The term emphasizes horticultural knowledge and aesthetic sensibility rather than just mowing and trimming: We hired a landscape gardener to redesign the front yard.
In American usage, landscaper is more common.
