Landscape architects can face a range of civil liability claims, often linked to design decisions or documentation issues. Common examples include:
- Design errors where the finished works do not meet the client’s expectations
- Plant selection issues that create long-term maintenance problems or plant failure
- Drainage or erosion problems caused by level design or landscape layout
- Documentation mistakes, such as incorrect dimensions or missing specifications
- Contract or coordination disputes that lead to delays, variations, or cost overruns
- Claims for financial loss or dissatisfaction with professional services, even when no physical damage occurs
