What Do Landscape Professionals Do?

The professional landscape industry is broad. There are many specialists whose work plays an important role in the health, well-being, and beauty of the landscapes we enjoy. For instance, an agronomist’s work is most closely ociated with what they do below ground, with soils and soil science, while an arborist works above ground, specializing in the planting and maintenance of trees. There are professionals who spend good parts of their days outside and those who like spending time inside, on the phone, on the computer or in a science lab. There are those who work in the field and those who supply essential products to create and maintain landscapes. Landscape professionals include entry level employees and executives and CEOs of national corporations.
