GARDENING OR LANDSCAPING? THIS IS THE QUESTION.

GARDENING VS LANDSCAPING

Both Gardening and Landscaping are techniques to improve your property and they both involve plants, rocks, and other elements. They are both meant to enhance the beauty of a home in general.

1. Gardening

It is the practice of growing and taking care of plants in planters and in the ground. Gardening doesn’t necessarily involve a design, therefore, anyone can be a gardener! It can be a hobby and an interest but also a job. Professional gardeners are some kind of magicians and they know how to take care of plants whenever homeowners can’t figure out what is happening to them.

Let’s not forget that plants are complex organisms and sometimes they need complex care too!

2. Landscaping

Landscaping is more professional than gardening and it involves not only plants but also architectural and structural elements such as ponds, patios, pergolas, etc…

Landscape designers and architects practice landscaping by organizing the already present garden elements and by adding more to it for aesthetic and functional purposes. Most of the time Landscaping means turn you garden upside down to create something new and stunning!

So, while Gardening takes care of the plants, Landscaping takes care of the design and the construction of a garden.

LONG STORY SHORT:

for the best results you need a Landscape designer/architect to create an organized plan that will be practical and gorgeous at the same time. There are many styles of garden guys! It’s the job of Landscape designers like us to suggest you the best options and sometimes take decisions for you!

But you also need Gardeners to keep the plants healthy and beautiful so that the design can exploit its characteristics and thrive!

There is now Landscaping without a Gardener and, most of the time, there is no Gardener without some kind of Landscaping!
