Hmmmm… Where I live, much of this work for commercial buildings
(hardscape, lighting, run-off calculations, parking lot size to bare ground
percentage, road design, etc) must be done by a civil engineer. No civil
engineer, no permit.
I wonder where the overlap in the professions occurs,
P
Since the regulations governing the certification of landscape
architects are different from state-to-state, I don’t think there is any
hard and fast dividing line. This government web site gives a good
overview of the profession:

This guy’s web site taught me everything I needed to know to rebuild my
own irrigation system. It actually turned out to be a heck of a lot more
fun that I thought it would be:

Like in the army, position overtrhow the grade. Some of my contractors call
me “engineer”. I hold a degree in law, not IT, so this is very funny.
