What is Landscape Contracting?
Landscape Contracting is a profession that involves the art and technology of landscape planning, construction and maintenance for human enjoyment and use. Successful landscape contractors have creative problem solving skills, refined interpersonal skills and an understanding of and respect for natural systems. They apply cultural and scientific knowledge in the planning and construction of both indoor and outdoor spaces.
