What's the difference between a landscape designer and a landscape architect? Also, how do you become a landscape architect/landscape designer?
Well this is one of those questions where the answer has to be a bit vague...
A landscape designer is someone that generally only works with plants and 'softscaping' only theoretically designing or including structures such as walls and pathways. A designer can provide you with a quite complex landscape plan.
A landscape architect is more inclined to include very detailed information on the 'hardscaping' specifying details about the structure of a wall or paving. An architect will provide a highly detailed landscape plan drawn to scale & including specification etc.
Add to this a landscape engineer who will add construction detail & absolute specifications (e.g. - pier holes to be 300mm wide by 500mm deep with 100mm bed of 20mm clean drainage aggregate in the base etc etc)
Soooo... a landscape designer may well be a landscape architect & vice versa.
It could also be said that all landscape architects are landscape designers but not all designers are architects...
Hope this helps :)
Landscape Architects Job Description
Can someone tell me the differences in those fields as in what their job responsibilities are, skill requirements, salary, etc? Thank you very much! :) I am incredibly interested in Landscape Architecture, however, there are limited colleges near me (I already have to drive 2 hours to Tampa for LA college). Also, I am currently a concept artist/illustrator and skilled with Photoshop, so maybe landscape designer is best for me?
Landscape Architects design the landscape which is the outside for example around the house, flowers, driveway design ponds, etc. They must be skilled in visual arts and computer applications if neccessary. They make at least $75,00-$100,000 a year depending on skill level and reputation. Contractors get the workers for the jobs and oversee the project. Designers design the inside from rooms to kitchen accessories.

I know they are two different jobs, although the LA does LD work sometimes, but what is the salary difference? Whenever I look with google.com, I only get results for landscape architects and not landscape designers.
Also, can landscape designers still work at firms with landscape architects, or are landscape designers usually self-employed?
I also meant to say what is the salary difference with working with a company?
I'd rather work for a firm than have my own business.
It depends where you work. Take a look at this link and you can type in the info you want. It is quite accurate, at least it is for my state. Good luck :)

My boyfriend wants to start his own landscaping business like his father did but he doesn't know which is better... What type of schooling does each require and licenses? Thanks!
A landscape architect has 5 years of college in Landscape Architecture and has passed a rigorous several day exam to get a license. Anyone can call themselves a a garden designer. If your boyfriend wants to install plant material, he will probably need a landscape contractors license or horticulture license, both administered by the state and so easy to pass, a second grader could do it.
Landscape Architects can draw and sell plans. No one else can. Landscape Architects are not only designers, but also engineers.

Herning Museum of Contemporary Art | Steven Holl architects
Herning Museum of Contemporary Art in Herning, Denmark is a first prize winning project designed by Steven Holl Architects to accommodate exhibition galleries, 150 seat auditorium, music rehearsal rooms, restaurant, media library and administrative offices. The museum will open to public on September 9 2009.
+ Project description courtesy of Steven Holl architectsThe Herning Center of the Arts unites three distinct cultural institutions: the Herning Museum of Contemporary Art , the MidWest Ensemble and the Socle du Monde. The new center is intended to be an innovative forum combining visual art and music.
The museum’s design fuses landscape and architecture in a one-level building that will include permanent and temporary exhibition galleries, a 150-seat auditorium, music rehearsal rooms, a restaurant, a media library, and administrative offices.
Herning’s prominent relationship with textiles and the Museum’s large collection of original works by Piero Manzoni (in total 46 works) form the inspiration for the concept design. The museum is sited near Herning’s original Angli shirt factory, and the shirt collar-shaped plan of its 1960s building has inspired the shape of the new museum building.
