Sinopsis
When William Shakespeare posed the question What’s in a name? he could have been referring to the term landscaper. Few job titles conjure up such a variety of definitions and descriptions from well-meaning people, each certain that his or her definition is correct. Each would also probably believe that the term is not complex, because the industry itself is not complex. The same thing happens when people are asked to define the duties of a conservationist, a doctor, or a teacher. What seems so simple and straightforward at the outset grows in complexity upon realizing that there are endless things to conserve, dozens of ways to practice medicine, and students requiring educational services from nursery school through post-graduate programs.
Landscaping is a service industry. It serves people by fabricating environments where they can live, work, play, or just pass time. These environments are primarily in the outdoors or are in interior settings that seek to suggest the outdoors. Landscapers use the products of others to create habitat areas that can range from utilitarian to fantastic. Though humans are the predominant clientele, others with whom we share the planet may also benefit from the landscapers’ efforts.
Landscapers serve residential clients, civic clients, corporate clients, and others. They work as one-person, part-time operations and as international corporate giants, and in companies that fit somewhere in between those extremes. Landscape firms are listed in the yellow pages of small villages, cities, and world capitals. In short, there is no one way to be a landscaper or to practice landscaping. There are many different levels of practice and differing degrees of educational preparation required, depending upon how a person opts to work within the industry.
