Well...........
I honestly believe that all designers need to have experience in all phases of the design process in order to draw a truly functional design.
What will you be designing and will it work?
Do you have any hands - on experience with the things you will be designing?
Are you versed in all types of drainage applications?

The one thing you DON'T want to do is to draw a design. sell it to the client for them to find the contractors & then have them come back to you because this won't work, that won't work, etc...
I guess it all depends on your experience in certain aspects of the landscape field.
I just know that in order to make $80,000 a year just doing designs, you better know everything.
