Landscaping

DAN Technologies : Landscaping can be defined as the addition of plants, manipulation of terrain and the construction of structures. There are many different styles of landscaping to choose from.

Simply put, if you can look out your window and see a fixed feature in your yard affecting the overall aesthetics or practical functioning of your property, then that feature is part of the "landscaping" of the property. Note also that some practical features of one's landscaping, such as underground drainage systems, are of critical importance even though they exist unseen.
