N.Y. Education Law § 7321: Definition of practice of landscape architecture

§ 7321. Definition of practice of landscape architecture. The

practice of the profession of landscape architecture is defined as

performing services in connection with the development of land areas

where, and to the extent that the dominant purpose of such services is

the preservation, enhancement or determination of proper land uses,

natural land features, ground cover and planting, naturalistic and

aesthetic values, the settings, approaches or environment for structures

or other improvements, natural drainage and the consideration and

determination of inherent problems of the land relating to the erosion,

wear and tear, blight or other hazards. This practice shall include the

location and arrangement of such tangible objects and features as are

incidental and necessary to the purposes outlined herein but shall not

include the design of structures or facilities with separate and

self-contained purposes such as are ordinarily included in the practice

of engineering or architecture; and shall not include the making of land

surveys or final land plats for official approval or recording.
