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
