The Landscape Contracting curriculum developes a foundation around three primary areas; Landscape Design, Horticuluture and Landscape Construction/Business. The goal of the Landscape Contracting program is to prepare students to become crew leaders, project supervisors and estimators as well as to hold other managerial positions. This is done by developing a student's skills in these areas: design, estimating, installation and managment. The program is offered through the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning and administered through the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.
