The landscape gardener doesn’t just maintain a garden in good condition; he brings a concept to life, respecting the local ecosystem and integrating environmentally-friendly practices.
A landscape gardener is someone who works under the direction of a landscape designer.
He designs, develops and maintains customized gardens, taking into account the customer’s tastes and needs, as well as the particular features of the land.
He can also call himself a garden contractor if he is self-employed.
He has multi-field know-how adapted to the diversity of garden development trades.
