What are the negative aspects of being a landscape architect?

I’m thinking of becoming a landscape architect, but the job looks too good to be true. What are the negative aspects of the job?

  1. a landscaper? to good to be true? wtf

  2. weather
    clients
    not getting paid.

    none of these are specific to that job, just any job where you work outside, for clients in your own business

  3. ive been in the landscape business for ten yrs…i would say if you are going to do just architecture, it would be finding enough clientele to support the home bills and the labor/material costs…lately timely payments have been an issue with me.

  4. Hands down the hardest part is when you know better, but still have to do what the client wants. A rice paddy in Phoenix? Cacti in Alberta?
