Landscape refers to the visible features of an area of land, including its physical elements like hills, mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, and other natural formations. It also includes human-made elements such as buildings, roads, and structures that interact with the natural surroundings.

In a broader sense, “landscape” can also refer to:

• Natural Landscape: The untouched or minimally modified terrain, such as forests, deserts, and coastlines.
• Cultural Landscape: Areas that have been shaped or influenced by human activities, like farms, gardens, parks, or urban spaces.
• Landscape Architecture: The design and planning of outdoor spaces, such as parks, gardens, and public spaces, integrating both natural and man-made features for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Landscaping, in construction or civil work, involves designing and modifying these features to create aesthetically pleasing and functional outdoor environments. It often includes planting trees, installing walkways, creating drainage systems, and managing soil and terrain to enhance the environment.
