U betcha, here's why
A landscape designer aka/
landscaper, 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 may lead to overpriced plants being placed in inappropriate locations.
I have seen pics on this forum where palms that required full sun were planted in shade, that one mistake can pay the fee.
Additionally, landscape designers cannot sign and seal plans for permits.
A landscape architect, licensed in FL, can offer value by developing plans that are designed to a budget and can then be competitively bid.
In this way I can control the project.
The other factor is a landscaper has a vested interest in selling what's in his inventory.
Anyway back to palms that work and don't work at TV please.
