The Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) - founded in 1995 as a specialist national association within the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA). It now represents members, individual landscape professionals and their companies.
Landscaping has been around as a practised art for centuries. During the Roman era it became a popular activity and archaeologists have discovered evidence of Roman landscaped gardens including mosaics and water fountains.
The practise largely died out in the middle ages and it wasn't until the Renaissance period that it came back into fashion. Examples of Renaissance landscaping are to be found at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli and this continued to develop through the 16th and 17th centuries, leading to greater levels of grandeur as can be seen in the works at Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles.
As early as the 1800s, the wealthy of practically any country employed professional artisans to build their homes and landscape their gardens.
18th century England saw a new breed of landscapers such as, William Kent, Humphrey Repton and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, who in turn created vast landscaped parkland’s and remodelled the grounds of many stately homes. A number of these parkland’s can still be found and enjoyed today.
The Scotsman Gilbert Laing Meason was most likely the first person to use the term 'landscape architecture', when it was included as part of the title of his book, “The Landscape Architecture of the Great Painters of Italy”, in 1928.
During the 19th century when urban planning became more important, landscaping played a greater part and led to a more modern focus due largely to a desire to combine better planning with traditional landscaping. America benefited from this with New York and Boston creating their own landscaped parks like, Central Park, New York and Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
There are now many television programs and magazines featuring landscaping and the number of professionals in the art continues to grow.
