A.
Check sprinkler irrigation systems regularly for physical and operational problems that reduce sprinkler system’s efficiency. Correcting these problems can improve the uniformity of water application, reduce water waste by 10 percent or more, and greatly improve the health of plantings. Walk through an area while the irrigation system is running and repair or replace sprinklers that are broken, sunken, crooked, or clogged with soil or debris. Also, be certain that plants are not blocking or interfering with a sprinkler’s spray pattern and that all emitters are of the same manufacturer and model.

Not easy, if you're using watercolours - you could try changing to oils, but using them's a whole different technique. You're probably unlikely to be good enough.

A landscape designer is someone that generally only works with plants and 'softscaping' only theoretically designing or including structures such as walls and pathways. A designer can provide you with a quite complex landscape plan.
A landscape architect is more inclined to include very detailed information on the 'hardscaping' specifying details about the structure of a wall or paving. An architect will provide a highly detailed landscape plan drawn to scale & including specification etc.Add to this a landscape engineer who will add construction detail & absolute specifications (e.g. - pier holes to be 300mm wide by 500mm deep with 100mm bed of 20mm clean drainage aggregate in the base etc etc)
Soooo... a landscape designer may well be a landscape architect & vice versa.
It could also be said that all landscape architects are landscape designers but not all designers are architects.
