landscaper
Designs outdoor spaces
A landscaper is a person who designs, installs, or maintains outdoor spaces—lawns, gardens, patios, and plantings.
The term covers both skilled designers who plan elaborate grounds and workers who mow, trim, and haul.
The landscapers arrive every Thursday to cut the grass.
We hired a landscaper to redesign the backyard.
