As a landscape designer, you definitely get to do a lot of different things. I work in a small landscape team, so we're involved in various aspects of projects.
One day we might be in the office, designing and planning layouts for planting and irrigation. Another day could be spent onsite, inspecting work, conducting punch walks, and ensuring the quality meets our design expectations.
My day-to-day work varies a lot. It's definitely fun, and you're never bored because you get to experience many different things.
