Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'landscape gardener' is simply a gardener who landscapes or works on landscapes, so a learner who knows 'landscape' (to shape/arrange land) and 'gardener' (someone who tends gardens) can infer the job role. This noun+noun/verb+noun specialization pattern is a regular, cross-linguistically common compound formation, so it will be immediately transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Landscape gardener joins landscape (the view of land and plants) and gardener (a person who cares for plants). The name shows the job: someone who plans and shapes the look of gardens and outdoor spaces, so it means 'a person who designs and arranges gardens and outdoor spaces'.
