Why Landscaping is important

Landscaping like many arts or sciences, has existed long before it was given a formal name. Any concept or act that’s geared towards manipulating the way our environment looks or works counts as landscaping.

On that level, it is not a stretch of the imagination to think that most people have an inkling of what the importance of Landscaping is. The most obvious importance is about beautifying the environment. But as with everything, there has to be an explanation that goes beyond what is obvious and what a layman can say.

Landscaping is an act that affects the lives of people, animals, and the environment as a whole in many ways. Some are more direct than others. In this article, we have tried to curate them and discuss some of the points that we feel need to be discussed. These are:

  1. Psychological Benefits: Apart from beauty, a well-designed landscape can affect the human brain positively. A well-ventilated, functional, serene environment can enhance our sense of well-being, improve our productivity, and also our sense of safety.

The point about productivity has different angles. Being in a serene environment can help one face work with more clarity. But apart from that, a properly designed landscape.

Also, a well-made landscape can be a great source of recreation.

  1. Protection from pollution and global warming: An important part of landscaping is the meticulous placement of plants and vegetation. The placement of these plants can help protect the environment from pollutants and keep the air clean. Which in turn will aid the fight against global warming.

The presence of plants in a structured and well-designed manner also helps protect the environment from pests so long as the right steps are taken to maintain the said landscape. 

  1. Economic Benefits: Tourism is a billion-dollar business and has proven to be the backbone of many country’s economies. You don’t need to look further than the United Arab Emirates, which has become one of the hottest tourist locations in the whole world. 

The first step to having people visit your country is to have a country worth visiting. Landscaping plays a very big role in creating an environment that will be captivating, comfortable, and accommodating for tourists.

As for the benefits to the daily lives of the people, the proper landscaping of businesses in an area means customers can access their services much easier which has a ripple effect on the economy.

  1. Increasing Value of a Property: When valuing a property, the quality of the landscaping is a major factor for quantity surveyors. We have discussed a part of this by asking “Can landscaping increase home value?” in another article that focuses on residential property.

But the bottom line is that a piece of property that has proper landscaping is more valuable than a similar one that doesn’t.
