Do I need a Landscaper or a Carpenter?

I am disabled and need to have two raised beds put in on level ground. DIY is beyond me. Should I be looking for a landscape gardener or a carpenter for this job? And is it too small to interest a tradesperson?

Thank you.

"You need a tradesman skilled in both.
For example, the wood or material used to build the raised beds must not be chemically treated lumber etc. that may contain cyanide or other deadly chemicals....and a gardener who understands exactly what you desire and how to grow it.
Lastly, the raised beds constructed in a way that will permit you to easily manage and access."

"A gardener shoukd be quite capable of doing this as long as they have some carpentry knowledge.
I.e how too fix the wood together ect
I personally wouldn't class this as a large job no, but any professional in my opinion shouldn't turn down a job just because of the size.
Works work and we do this too help people as well as make a living
Hope this helps"
