"Overall it was good. I would suggest to anyone thinking about using them to make sure you see all of the materials before installation. I had one issue with a dimmer switch and I ended up having to purchase the type of dimmer swtich I was looking for and then have them come back to install it. But they were professional and after the first day I didn't mind leaving them in the house unattended."

Conclusion
A landscape architect is often confused with a landscape designer, but there are differences between the two. While both are involved in designing landscapes and gardens, a landscape architect is also trained in handling challenging issues like steep slopes, irrigation and drainage, elevation problems, retaining walls, driveways, service lines, and entryways. Landscape architects are required to be licensed and hold undergraduate or higher degrees and often plan areas other than residential spaces including parks, waterfront developments, and commercial facilities.
