support for continued licensure of landscape architects
 

I support continued landscape architecture license requirements.  Landscape architects provide complex services which require highly technical skills.  Without licensure it would be difficult for prospective clients to evaluate the competency of professionals.  Landscape architectural practice includes development of site plans, plans of development, grading plans, vehicular roadways and pedestrian systems design, stormwater and erosion control plans, and the siting of buildings and structures, all work that localities and federal agencies require to be sealed by licensed professionals. Consequently, the scope of landscape architecture overlaps with other licensed design professionals including architects, engineers, and Class B land surveyors.
