    Landscaping is much more than grabbing a spade and getting stuck into it. It requires a knowledge of how to pre-plan your design, an understanding of the important landscaping elements, the types of materials that are needed to create the perfect garden and how to bring it all together to develop the perfect space.

    This course is designed for people looking to either work within the landscaping industry or to start their own landscaping business.

    If you’re looking to secure a job in the industry, having knowledge about the technical skills of landscaping will help you get over the line and secure a highly coveted job, and if you’re looking to start a business after having worked in the industry for some time, knowledge of the technical details is a must!

    In this Landscaping course, you will be walked through everything you need to achieve your landscaping goals.
