Landscape Architect Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently led the landscape assessment for a coastal park project that stretched over 12 hectares, helping the team balance public access with habitat protection. We reduced understorey disturbance by refining the planting palette and mapping drainage so runoff could be directed to biofiltration swales. That work sharpened my eye for site data, hydrology and ecological features, which I understand are core to the role at [Company Name]. I’m drawn to this position because it sits at the intersection of practical site planning and thoughtful environmental impact. My experience covers site reports, working drawings and specifications, plus cost estimates that align with the shape of a project from early concept through to construction quality control. I’m comfortable compiling data from ground models and vegetation details, and I’ve collaborated with engineers and clients to translate complex site conditions into clear development recommendations. In my last role at [Previous Company], we prepared environmental impact statements for several mixed-use precincts and consistently aligned design outcomes with statutory requirements. I helped rework land use plans to reduce earthworks by 15 percent and improved vegetation establishment plans so new spaces felt resilient in the first few seasons. A practical example was tightening the site data analysis workflow to streamline decision making for the construction team. I’m available for a discussion about how my experience can fit the needs of [Company Name]. I can meet in the coming days to review a short proposal and share more detail about how I approach site planning, ground modelling and vegetation considerations. Kind regards, [Your Name]
