The history of the profession in North America begins with Frederick Law Olmsted, who rejected the name "landscape gardener" in favor of the title of "landscape architect," which he felt better reflected the scope of the profession.

The largest landscape project is arguably that created by Andre Le Notre at Versailles, France, in the late 17th century, for Louis XIV. Created in what had been a muddy swamp, it covers over 15,000 acres.

The world's longest tree-lined avenue is the Nikko Cryptomeria Avenue, Imaichi City, Tochigi, Japan. It has a total length of 22 miles.
