Salary bands are becoming increasingly blurred? 🤔
In this short clip from our UK Landscape Architecture Salary & Hiring Trends 2026 report, I discuss the growing overlap between Senior, Principal and Associate level salaries, and why job titles no longer always reflect the same level of responsibility across different practices.

Based on conversations at LEAD Careers with and employers across the UK, it’s a trend becoming more noticeable throughout the profession.

Would be interesting to hear whether others are seeing the same shift internally as well. Do you agree?

For more information or to request a copy of the full salary report, feel free to get in touch directly.

My 14-year-old daughter has spent years telling us she wanted to feed a Highland cow (few and far between in Spain 😆 )
This was mission accomplished....The cow looked mildly inconvenienced.

Darcey has declared it the highlight of the holiday.

I just paid for the holiday... 🤷‍♂️😂

Still, it reminded me that everyone has ambitions. Some are small, some are career-changing. If one of yours is finding something that genuinely excites you, let's have a chat.

Turns out though, all it takes to make a Highland cow happy is an apple, and I've clearly been overcomplicating parenting for the last 14 years.

Even on holiday, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I am to work in a profession that's built around landscapes. Every week I speak to talented landscape architects who help shape places like this, whether that's restoring natural environments, designing new public spaces, or balancing development with the landscape around it.

Salary nearly always comes up at Careers, even when someone’s very clear they’re staying put.

I spoke to a couple of landscape architects last week who just wanted a sense check. Nothing dramatic, just whether they were roughly in the right place compared to others at a similar level. Both were surprised by how wide the range actually is at the moment.

They weren’t about to move, but it definitely gave them something to think about. 🤔 💭

Concept stages are becoming more collaborative. The strongest schemes are emerging from early involvement of wider teams. Bringing ecological insight, LVIA thinking and technical advice into concept development is producing deeper and more resilient ideas. The era of the isolated design process is fading.

If you want to stay informed about how collaborative working is shaping UK studios, feel free to reach out.

A great testimonial from Laura K., Associate Landscape Architect 🙂

Laura mentioned how clear the communication was and how organised the process felt from start to finish, which is exactly how I aim to work. Helping landscape architects find roles that genuinely suit their experience and longer term career goals is always the focus, so feedback like this is really appreciated.

I work with landscape architects at every level who want honest advice, straightforward support and access to roles they won’t always see advertised. As always, every placed candidate receives a personal sign on bonus from me as a thank you for trusting me with their next step.

If you’re thinking about a move in the new year, or just want a clearer picture of what the market looks like right now, feel free to reach out for a confidential chat.

Every office has the same three types of people… and you’ll know exactly who they are.....

The one who’s always organised and on top of everything.
The one who somehow makes things happen at the last minute.
And the one who keeps the place running without anyone really noticing.

Most teams are a mix of all three, and it’s usually what makes things work. 😊
