Conclusion Landscape installation, plant growth, plant maintenance and weed and pest control are essential components of the landscaping process. Landscape includes the care of trees, shrubs, bedding and ground cover plants, as well as turf grasses. Without proper installation and maintenance, a landscape will not grow and flourish. Maintenance includes pruning, fertilization, irrigation, disease, pest, and weed control; as well as knowledge of cultivation and transplanting. All of these steps, combined, are critical in the landscaping process.
