However, some projects don't require a landscape architect, but they might have landscaping guidelines that are part of the project, and any architect needs to understand and be aware of what those landscape requirements are. Most of the time, the landscape requirements deal with what kinds of plants do well in this environment, and they will then restrict us to using that particular species of plant. A good example is an oak tree.
