Garden designer touches down with something that may be cut (10)

I believe the answer is:

landscaper

'garden designer' is the definition.
(someone who designs gardens)

'touches down with something that may be cut' is the wordplay.
'touches down' becomes 'lands' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'something that may be cut' becomes 'caper' (as in cut capers).
'lands'+'caper'='LANDSCAPER'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
