What is ‘Landscaping' ?

Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land, including altering the terrain, planting trees and shrubs, installing structures such as patios and walkways, and creating outdoor living spaces

Landscaping requires a certain understanding of horticulture and artistic design, but is not limited to plants and horticulture. Sculpting land to enhance usability (patio, walkways, ponds, water features) are also examples of landscaping being used

Landscaping can be done for both practical and aesthetic reasons, and it can provide many benefits such as improving the appearance and value of a property, providing shade, creating privacy, controlling erosion, and contributing to the overall health and well-being of the homeowner
