Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land, including but not limited to:
- living elements, such as flora or fauna; or what is commonly referred to as Gardening, the art and craft of growing plants with a goal of creating a beautiful environment within the landscape.
- natural elements such as landforms, terrain shape and elevation, or bodies of water;
- human elements such as structures, buildings, fences or other material objects created and/or installed by humans; and
- abstract elements such as the weather and lighting conditions.
Landscaping is both science and art, and requires good observation
and design skills. LifeSpaces knows that a good landscaper understands the elements of nature
and construction, and blends them accordingly. LifeSpaces can create an excellent landscape and landscape design. Call them @ 574-255-5393. These are a few designs from finished projects, part of the LifeSpaces portfolio...
Consider This:
An early Greek philosopher known for his view that "all is water,"
spent a considerable time thinking about the nature and scope of
landscaping. Some of his students believed that in order for human
activity to be considered landscaping, it must be directed toward
modifying the physical features of the land itself, including the
cultivation and/or manipulation of plants or other flora. Thales
rejected this notion, arguing that any aspect of the material world
affecting our visual perception of the land was a proper subject for
landscaping. Both Plato and Aristotle praised Thales' analysis as a model for philosophy. In the early 20th century, British philosopher G.E. Moore
cited Thales' reasoning as one of the few historical examples of how
philosophical inquiry has led to genuine human understanding and
progress.
Whether you want to "modify the physical feature of your land" or just want some curb appeal....LifeSpaces can help. Call them @ 574-255-5393.
