Do landscape designers also build and install landscaping?
Some do, and some don’t, it depends on whether or not they are also licensed landscape contractors. In the state of Oregon, a person who installs and builds landscaping, including hardscapes, plants, irrigation, etc. must be a licensed landscape contractor, working for a licensed landscape business. Some landscape designers have “design/build” businesses because they are also landscape contractors. (For more information on licensed landscape contractors, please visit the websites of the Oregon Landscape Contractors Association and the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board.
