GA Code § 43-23-1 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 43 - Professions and Businesses|Chapter 23 - Landscape Architects|§ 43-23-1. Definitions

 As used in this chapter the term:    "Board" means the Georgia Board of Landscape Architects.   "Landscape architect" means a person who is licensed pursuant to this chapter to practice or teach landscape architecture.   "Landscape architecture" means the performance of professional services, including, but not limited to, consultation, investigation, planning, design, preparation of drawings and specifications, and responsible supervision, all in connection with the preservation or determination of proper land uses, natural land features, esthetics, planting plans, the shaping of land to produce the best functional and esthetic effect, and grading plans with determination of drainage. This term shall also include the consideration of environmental problems involving land areas, as such problems relate to the public health, safety, and welfare.    (Ga. L. 1958, p. 400, § 1; Code 1933, § 84-4001, enacted by Ga. L. 1976, p. 1730, § 1.)   OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL    Landscape architects may prepare drainage plans  for design and arrangement of land forms and nonhabitable features. 1974 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 74-2.   County may not restrict drainage plans to engineers.   - County ordinance requiring that registered professional engineers prepare drainage plans submitted to the county is erroneous in light of the statutes which provide that landscape architects may prepare drainage plans for the design and arrangement of land forms and nonhabitable features. 1974 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 74-2.    Definition of "landscape architecture" in O.C.G.A. § 43-23-1(3) does not appear to be significantly different from the definition of "landscape architect" in the 1958 Act; the definitions in the 1976 Act and the 1958 Act appear to be functionally indistinguishable with respect to the types of plans that can be prepared by a landscape architect. Both Acts permit licensed landscape architects to design and arrange land forms for the preservation and determination of proper land uses including the preparation of grading plans for the determination of drainage. 1990 Op.
