What is the role of land surveying in landscape architecture?

The role of land surveying in landscape architecture is pivotal in the development of a successful project. Land surveying provides accurate and up-to-date information about the property boundaries, topography, natural features, and other critical data that landscape architects need to know before starting the design process. This detailed survey data helps to identify constraints and opportunities that can influence the design approach and to identify potential issues that could impact the project's success. Furthermore, land surveyors and landscape architects work closely together to ensure the design is feasible and realistic based on the location's features and constraints. Therefore, land surveying is an essential component in landscape architecture, as it sets the foundation for a well-designed and functional outdoor space.
