Landscape Architecture has been a rapidly growing profession over the past two decades. However, many people
still do not really know exactly what they do. The American Society of Landscape Architects has a description that may be helpful.
Many people find it difficult to gain access to landscape architects on Cape Cod. That is partially
due to there not being very many on the Cape, but also because the few that are here are very busy with heavy work loads.
Many have to be very selective about how much time they can spend introducing themselves to new clients simply because
they must dedicate the bulk of their time to producing the work that they currently have as it is generally that which can
be delegated to others.
YDG has recently restructured its business plan to make consultation a more available
service as awareness of this unfilled niche has been realized. It is our belief that this will provide greater accessibility
to a Landscape Architecture for more people who are looking for some early insight prior to deeper commitment.
Yarmouthport Design Group was founded as a part time business by Andrew Garulay, a full
time site designer and Landscape Architect. This was done in order to keep active directly in the profession after accepting
a position in a well established land planning firm which had not yet developed a Landscape Architecture component at that
time. Since then progress has been made in the development of Landscape Architecture in the land planning office .
Landscape Architects - Professional Licensure:
Landscape Architects are licensed professionals in the State of Massachusetts just like architects,
engineers, and many other professions. The requirements for licensing in Massachusetts may be found on the Board of Registration
of Landscape Architects website. This is to insure the public that a standard of education and experience has been met
by the individual license holders.
