Landscape Architect or Designer

LAURA STINE LANDSCAPES

Fort Wayne, Indiana // Native-Plant Residential Landscape Design

Landscape Designer / Landscape Architect

$55,000 – $68,000 per year, commensurate with experience | Full-Time | In-Person

Every landscape at Laura Stine Landscapes starts as a blank canvas and ends as a living, thriving

space that outlasts trends. We're a design-led firm built around native plantings, thoughtful hardscape,

and residential landscapes clients actually live in for decades — and we're growing our Landscape

Design division. If you're an experienced designer who wants real creative ownership over projects

from first client walkthrough to final planting plan, we want to talk to you.

WHY DESIGNERS CHOOSE US

Full creative ownership — you'll lead concept through construction documents, not just fill in a template.
A portfolio built on native-plant expertise, a specialty that sets our work — and yours — apart in the industry.
Direct client relationships: you present your own designs and see them installed, not handed off to someone else.
A growing design division with a real path to senior design and leadership roles.
Ongoing education in emerging landscape technology and design trends, on our time and dime.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead client consultations to assess site conditions, understand goals, and scope project budgets.
Develop original 2D and 3D landscape designs — planting plans, hardscape layouts, and grading — tailored to each property and client.
Translate client vision into creative, buildable, cost-conscious design solutions on deadline.
Present finished designs and proposals directly to clients, walking them through your design rationale.

WHAT YOU BRING

3+ years of professional experience designing residential or commercial landscapes.
Strong command of landscape design principles, including hardscape design and detailing.
Proficiency with landscape design software; experience with U-vision 3D Landscape Creator is a plus.
Comfort managing multiple projects and client deadlines without sacrificing design quality.
A collaborative, client-facing communication style — you can defend a design idea as well as sketch it.
