Landscape architects design and plan parks, plazas, and recreation areas; residential, institutional and commercial developments; transportation facilities, waterfronts, new towns and campus landscapes; and green infrastructure."

They design residences, subdivisions, shopping centers, mixed-use developments, college campuses, greenways, parks and any other project that requires design and planning of land. It is important that they know about soils, topography, water, plants, wildlife, and other natural phenomena."
