10 ADVANTAGES OF

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Landscape architecture provides

solutions to many existing
01 environmental issues, protects ecology
and helps to protect national treasures.

Regeneration of polluted areas— If a

factory is particularly bad polluter it
can leave the area unusable for a long
time after the factory is gone. These
02 negative effects can be fixed through
landscaping and planting after the area
is cleaned up.

Landscape architecture protects

03 wetlands and seeks solutions to
provide storm-water management in a
natural way.

There is a vast amount of soil and

water that is polluted and needs to be
04 cleaned up. One way of doing this by
phytoremediation.

Plants and trees as most people know

produce oxygen but less people know
05 that they also absorb air pollutants.
This helps to filter the air and makes it
cleaner.

 10 ADVANTAGES OF

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

To allow plants grow properly they

need good quality soil, the right amount
of water, the correct level of sun
06 exposure and protection from pests.
Landscape architecture takes all these
things into account when trying to find
the right plants composition for each
site.

Landscape architects often promote

07 ideas like orchards in urban areas, for
they not only look good, produce
oxygen and promote social well-being
but also provide nutritious fruits.

Relief from hot weather — Small

08 parks, known as ‘Pocket parks,’ are a
good solution. They provide shade
from the sun and a quiet peaceful place
to go in a noisy urban environment.

09 Landscape architecture provides

outdoor recreation areas.

By spending some time in nature, even

just sitting, it has a positive effect on
people’s state of mind and mood.
10 So having more green spaces
correlates with having better mental
health.

encourages activity for people.
There is proper flow within the
garden due to the presence of
walkways.
Greeneries and vegetation are
places strategically as to not appear
cramped.
There is enough space for other
recreational activities.

CONS
Stones scattered around the sitting
area is not ideal as this might be
dangerous.
There is a lack of variety with the
plants and vegetation used.
Additionally, the said plants are
also not seasonal.
The tree in particular obstructs the
view from one of the windows.
