The Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) was founded in 1989 as an international organization dedicated to promoting the highest standards for the landscape design profession.

The DC · MD · VA Chapter represents APLD members in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Organized in 2003, the Chapter provides opportunities for members to take part in educational, community outreach, and networking activities and provides the public with information about finding and working with a professional landscape designer.

Here you can find a designer, see a portfolio of some members' projects, and learn more about the Chapter's activities and membership benefits.
