    The objective of Landscaping carried out with the help of native vegetation, is to monitor the ways in

    which nature is structured, so that, over time, this vegetation becomes capable of healthy survival,
    without the costly need of major maintenance, in the various stages of your life.

    And by native vegetation we mean the set of plant species that naturally organize themselves to live in
    certain environments, be they biomes, ecosystems, etc.

    And it is also an essential part of the landscape project to pay attention to issues related to the
    relationship/behavior of people in relation to the implanted vegetation, the ordering of the circulation
    and occupation processes of the spaces used in the external environment, together with the proper
    training of the environment for correct adjustment to natural processes and plant development.

    Landscaped vegetation means vegetation intentionally planted at a particular location to enhance the
    visual/aesthetic qualities of the property and/or structure or to enhance some other quality such as the
    energy efficiency of a structure and etc.

    Urban ecosystems are highly managed in order to meet primarily the needs and wishes of People
    (Dow2000;Grimmetal.2008).As such, the vegetation land cover in cities typically reflects, in addition to
    the biophysical potential and limitations of the site, the culture and

    Values of people and decision makers who plant and care for trees ,shrubs ,gardens ,and
    grass(Spirn1984;Burgietal.2004). Vegetation in cities can serve fundamental purposes of providing
    food(fruitsandvegetables) , shade ,or play and recreation areas. Economists Have also demonstrated
    that lush and well maintained trees and yards can add value to homes (Luttik2000;Mansfieldetal.2005).

    SUMMARY

    Forests are among the greatest riches of the majority of countries: they constitute a substantial
    environmental feature and a renewable source of timber for the economy. Forests influence and
    improve the climate and the hydrological and soil conditions, provide a natural habitat for many species
    of animals and plants and their associations, conserve the natural beauties and are a source of health
    and recreation for the people. For all these and many other reasons, people have to protect the forest
    fund, including the forest land and the woody species growing on that land. Planned and systematic
    efforts have to be made to improve the forest stands and to manage them by carefully applying the best
    of biological, technological and economic knowledge. Forests have the following functions in the
    landscape: timber and wood production, water conservation, maintaining microclimatic and hygienic
    conditions, soilconservation and improvement, providing conditions for recreation, and aesthetic,
    cultural and other functions.

    In ancient times, green areas were essentially intended for the use and pleasure of emperors and
    priests. In Greece, these spaces were expanded not only for walks, but also for meetings and
    philosophical discussions. In the Middle Ages, green areas were formed inside the courts and then
    disappear as a result of the growth of cities. In the Renaissance, they transform into gigantic formal
    sceneries, evolving in Romanticism as urban parks and places of rest and relaxation.

    With the emergence of industries and the growth of cities, green spaces ceased to have a function only
    for leisure, but became an urban necessity, for hygiene, recreation and preservation of the urban
    environment.
