Learn all about Landscaping!
Landscaping is a broad field. Some landscapers focus on hard landscaping. That is, they are more involved in construction of garden components like walls, gazebos, patios, and paving. Others prefer to focus more on soft landscaping. This means they are more concerned with planting, containers, and lawns. Some may get heavily involved in garden design whereas others might be more reliant on garden maintenance. The types of jobs available can also be variable with many working in private gardens but others working on large commercial projects in in public parks and gardens.
