What is a landscape general?

Landscape Generals are professionals responsible for overseeing and coordinating landscaping projects. Their duties typically include managing teams, planning and executing landscape designs, ensuring quality standards, and maintaining budgets and timelines. They work closely with clients, landscape architects, and subcontractors to bring outdoor spaces to life, often handling both softscape (plants, lawns) and hardscape (patios, walkways) elements. Strong leadership, horticultural knowledge, and project management skills are essential for this role.
