Landscape design involves the planning, arrangement, and manipulation of outdoor spaces to create functional, aesthetically pleasing environments that enhance the quality of life for people and the surrounding ecosystem.

Landscape designers consider factors such as site characteristics, user needs, cultural context, and environmental considerations to develop comprehensive design solutions that balance functionality, aesthetics, and ecological integrity.
