Landscaper designers and contractors meet clients, measure and draft plans, design and construct everything outside from outdoor rooms to pools, playgrounds, plants, and places — all to provide people leading busy lives with a beautiful environment to escape to.
Designers can also expect to project manage the installation of garden designs, or be involved in the landscape construction. They could be doing anything from building outdoor rooms to laying surfaces and creating and planting the gardens.
Landscape construction involves the practical installation of a landscape design and requires a wide range of specialist construction skills. These include the laying of paving and concrete, as well as the building of retailing wall, decks, steps, pergolas and other structures. In addition, landscape contractors also have the know-how to prepare soil and install planting.
The Wintec landscape design and construction programmes are project-based, meaning students will be working with real clients on real projects, putting what they learn into practice.
