The level of new construction helps determine the demand for landscape architects. This is because landscape architects often are hired to landscape new houses and buildings. During slow economic periods, the level of construction drops. When this happens, the need for landscape architects also decreases. As businesses continue to move their headquarters to the suburbs, the need for landscape architects will grow.
Many businesses build new projects on large pieces of land.
All this land needs to be landscaped. As the price of land increases, it is important that the area around buildings looks nice. In addition, many zoning laws require landscaping at new buildings. Landscape architects also work on existing buildings. These factors will all contribute to the demand for landscape architects.
