Welcome to Land Art Landscape Architecture, a small design group established by Randall Baker in 2002 focused on providing a higher level of creative design to clients seeking our services. We are licensed Landscape Architects, artists, horticulturalists and graphic artists.
As a potential client considers what direction to take with their anticipated project the task may seem daunting. Clients must consider the credentials of those that they will task with their project, examine the company’s portfolio of work and the company’s business reputation.
As licensed landscape architects, we are educated at accredited universities, licensed through national and state level examinations, and meet experience criteria required by the licensing process. The state that issues a professional license for a landscape architect typically requires continuing education and has an oversight process. As landscape architects, we design and detail your hardscape items as well as landscape, irrigation, drainage solutions, and landscape lighting, preparing plans that are signed and sealed and can be permitted.
Contrarily, a “landscape designer” typically has no formal education, no licensing, and no governing oversight, simply declaring themselves as a landscape designer. The typical landscape designer works for a landscape company that is offering reduced priced design with the promise of the installation project. This may seem like a deal to many, yet it most often leads to overpriced junk plants being placed in inappropriate locations. Additionally, landscape designers cannot sign and seal plans for permit, and may mislead a client into thinking that no permit is required for items when it actually is.
As landscape architects, we offer value to our clients by presenting them with plans that are designed to their budget and can be competitively bid to prospective contractors, allowing them to remain in control of their project. Always consult your local BBB and alternatively Angieslist regarding reputability of your design professional.
It is our sincere hope that by choosing Land Art Landscape Architecture, you will find value through our innovative, long-term solutions. As partners in your project, we will present the best landscape design possible. Thank you for considering Land Art Landscape Architecture for your current and future project needs.

Quotes from our staff
|
||
The benefits of an intelligently designed landscape are overlooked by many commercial venues. The basic concept is uncomplicated; to attract customers, customers must feel welcome. Most budgets are misspent on expensive finishes for sterile lobby interiors, but do not mask the purpose of being mere waiting rooms or portals. Historically, successful businesses aknowledge the value of a warm, welcoming entrance and landscape, and so allot a reasonable budget to achieve this desired effect.

Academics aside, a major role of Landscape Architecture is about touching the hearts and souls of people, including one's own. Knowing a family can step outside and harvest fresh fruits and flowers from plants they never knew existed or designing a pool that keeps children from sitting indoors all day, or even planning an office park landscape with masses of plants whose fruits coincide with the arrival of migrating birds is extremely rewarding. Not to trivialize my field, but perhaps Landscape Architecture is simply about making the world a better place to live in.
