Thank you to everyone who took our Annual LASN Survey. Our team appreciates all your input and insight into the latest industry trends, concerns, product specifications, market outlooks, and more.
LASN, LandscapeArchitect.com, and LADetails were created to service Practicing Landscape Architects, and we take your suggestions and input very seriously.
With your continued input and support, we will continue to improve the project features, legislation news, and other services we provide to the industry.
As we move into 2025, we look forward to a relaunch of LandscapeArchitect.com with improved functionality, article and product searching, and a continued emphasis on completed Landscape Architect Projects - a trend we have been continuing since early this year.
The LADetails product search engine continues to increase its diversity and has grown in the amount of CAD files and spec sheets you as a professional can access for free.
If you haven't taken the time to see the over 10,000 potential products you could be specifying into your project, make sure to visit LandscapeArchitect.com today to find new inspiration for your upcoming projects.
With the divisive election season coming to a close, I encourage all Landscape Architects to focus on the continuation and improvement of the profession as a whole . . .
Continue creating partnerships that create sustainable, lasting environments, bring communities together, and showcase to everyone why the PLA is the staple development professional for parks, hotels, resorts, commercial/retail developments, and more.
In this issue, you will find multiple completed Landscape Architecture projects with an emphasis on hardscapes, erosion control, drainage, and water management.
We have been tracking the prominence of erosion control within the profession for over 15 years, and while the amount of work in this specialty has seemingly declined over the years (based on our surveys), its importance continues to be essential.
One of our editors has written an article all about Erosion Control and Landscape Architects that can be found on page 48.
LASN is always looking to share your firms projects with the industry and would love to hear
from you.
If you would like to share your work or insights with the profession and adjacent commercial specifiers, please submit your projects to us.
Even if your project doesn't get published in the magazine, we will promote your project online and on our social media platforms . . . God Bless!
