What does APLD mean?
APLD stands for Association of Landscape Designers. APLD is to landscape design what ASID is to Interior Design and AIA is to Architects. Any landscape designer may apply to be a member, but CERTIFIED Landscape Designers have received advanced training in landscape design specifically and have also passed a rigorous certification process. The goals of APLD are to advance landscape design as an independent profession and to promote the recognition of landscape designers as highly qualified, dedicated professionals.
