How to Become a Landscape Designer

Saturday July 19, 2008

You've probably seen them on TV, if you ever watch those home improvement channels. The before and after shots prove that they can work wonders with the materials at their disposal: stone, wood, water, plants. I'm talking about landscape designers. But what are the personal stories of the people behind the projects? How does one become a landscape designer?

My interview with Paul Corsetti yields a peek into the life of one highly successful landscape designer. What subjects did Paul enjoy most in school? What were the formative influences on him as he advanced toward his career goal? What mistakes did he have to learn from along the way? What code of professional ethics does he live by? In addition to finding out the answers to these questions, you'll also learn some tips on how to become a landscape designer, yourself.
