Incumbents may advance from the entry level to the full working level, based on operational need and assignment by management, as they learn City and departmental practices and procedures. As knowledge and experience are gained, the work becomes broader in scope and assignments are more varied and are performed under more general supervision.

Landscape Architect/Landscape Designer I is the entry-level into this professional class series. The work is normally pre-screened and reviewed in progress and upon completion. Projects and procedures are standard and well defined. Responsibilities require limited exercise of judgment and alternatives for action are restricted.

Incumbents receive close supervision on new aspects of assignments and work is reviewed in progress and upon completion. Landscape Architect/Landscape Designer II is the second working level in this class series. Incumbents are not as closely supervised and receive assignments of greater difficulty. The II-level incumbent is given technical guidance and instructions on assignments of average difficulty. Assignments involve investigations with limited numbers of variables. Incumbents receive instructions on specific assignment objectives, complex features and possible solutions. Assistance is furnished regarding unusual problems and work is reviewed in detail upon completion of assignments.
