Rule summary

  • No design request posts: Posts asking for design advice will be removed. Posts requesting critique and will be allowed, though something substantial enough to critique must be shown. Please use [ASLA's firm finder](https://my.asla.org/my-asla/directories/firm_search.aspx) to find an L.A. near you. We also have a weekly stickied thread on the front page of this subreddit. Also, try r/landscaping for DIY advice.
  • All content must be related to landscape architecture.: All content must be related to landscape architecture.
  • "Just Sharing" and "C.C.W." tags: Posts tagged "Just Sharing" are designed for those who want to share illustrations of their work but are not looking for advice on how to improve. Critique comments will be removed.
  • No blogspam/low-quality content: Blogspam and low-quality content will be removed. Design posts will be evaluated on their merits - multi-photo design posts are encouraged. A top level comment of what you struggled with during the design and/or construction of the project is required.
  • Be civil & observe reddiquette: [Reddiquette guide](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette). Mods reserve the right to remove posts and comments that are vulgar, racist, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate.

Works well

  • A multi-photo post showing a real project, with a top level comment explaining what you struggled with during design or construction
  • A critique request that shows something substantial enough to critique, so the community has real material to respond to
  • A discussion post about theory, practice, or career insights that invites professionals and students to share their experience
  • A resource share that is clearly relevant to landscape architecture and not a thin link back to your own site
  • A comment on someone's design post offering genuine critique, as long as the post is not tagged Just Sharing

Avoid

  • Asking the community for design advice for your yard or a client site, which rule 1 says will be removed
  • Posting a link to your blog or company site with no real substance, which falls under “No blogspam/low-quality content”
  • Sharing design images without a top level comment about what you struggled with, which rule 4 requires
  • Leaving critique comments on posts tagged “Just Sharing”, which the rules say will be removed
  • Posting about something unrelated to landscape architecture, which breaks rule 2
  • Being rude, harassing, or otherwise uncivil, which rule 5 allows moderators to remove

What r/LandscapeArchitecture Is For

This is an international community for landscape architecture professionals, students, educators, and affiliates. People come here to talk about projects, theory, practice, and career insights, and to share resources with each other. It is a working community for people in the field, not a place for homeowners looking for a garden design. The description says design requests are prohibited, and the rules back that up by pointing people to a weekly stickied thread, ASLA's firm finder, or r/landscaping for DIY advice.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rule that decides most things here is “No design request posts”, which removes anything asking for design advice and points people to the weekly stickied thread, ASLA's firm finder, or r/landscaping instead. “All content must be related to landscape architecture.” keeps the room on topic, so a general marketing post has no home here. “No blogspam/low-quality content” is the one that matters most for anyone promoting something, because it removes blogspam and low-quality posts, and it adds a requirement that design posts include a top level comment about what you struggled with during design or construction. “Just Sharing” and “C.C.W.” tags matter if you comment, because critique on a post tagged Just Sharing gets removed. “Be civil & observe reddiquette” is the baseline conduct rule.

What To Post

The safest useful post is a real contribution to the field. If you have done landscape architecture work, share multi-photo design posts with a top level comment explaining what you struggled with during design or construction, because the rules say that comment is required. If you want feedback rather than just showing off, use the critique path and show something substantial enough to critique. Thoughtful discussion posts about theory, practice, or career insights fit what the community says it is for. If you are a founder, the honest play is to participate as a peer, share genuine lessons from work in or adjacent to the field, and never open with a pitch.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get removed is asking for design advice or DIY help, because rule 1 says those posts will be removed. Posting a link to your own blog or site with nothing of substance around it will get removed as blogspam or low-quality content. Sharing design images without the required top level comment about what you struggled with will also get your post removed. If you comment on someone's post tagged Just Sharing, do not offer critique, because those comments get removed. Anything off topic from landscape architecture is out, and rude or harassing behavior can get you removed or banned under the civility rule.

Common questions about r/LandscapeArchitecture

Can I ask the community to design my garden or give DIY landscaping help?

No. Rule 1 says posts asking for design advice will be removed, and the community points people to ASLA's firm finder, the weekly stickied thread, or r/landscaping instead.

Can I share a blog post or article I wrote?

Only if it is genuinely about landscape architecture and not blogspam or low-quality content. Thin promotional links will be removed under rule 4.

Can I post my own project work?

Yes, if you show something substantial enough to critique and add a top level comment about what you struggled with during design or construction.

Is self promotion allowed?

The rules do not state a policy on self promotion, so treat it as unknown and lead with genuine value rather than a pitch.

Can I give feedback on any design post I see?

No. Critique comments on Just Sharing posts will be removed, because those posts are for showing work without wanting improvement advice.
