Landscape Design involves analysis, planning, design and creation
of exterior spaces using plant material and appropriate hardscape
elements.
The goals of the APLD® are to advance
landscape design as an independent profession and to promote the
recognition of landscape designers as highly qualified, dedicated
professionals by:
- Establishing standards of excellence in the delivery of landscape
design services and encouraging landscape designers to achieve
and maintain such standards of excellence through participation
in continuing education and professional programs.
- Promulgating and encouraging the Association's standards of
practice.
- Keeping landscape designers abreast of the latest information
and developments in the field and broadening the field's scope
of traditional landscape design to new and important areas such
as management of the environment and the preservation of historically
significant landscapes.
- Providing a forum for landscape designers to share ideas and
learn from the experience of others.
- Educating the public about the profession
