landscapers

Garden design workers

Landscapers are people who design, install, or maintain outdoor spaces—lawns, gardens, trees, and hardscape features like patios and walkways.

The term covers everyone from crews who mow and trim to professionals who plan elaborate garden layouts: The landscapers are coming Thursday to put in the new shrubs.
