When someone in Blighty talks about getting their garden landscaped, it generally invoves a restyle – the addition of undulating curves in the form of paths or sculpted areas with rock gardens, new trees, ornamental herb gardens, constructions and a diversity of plants designed to excite every sense. Oh and landscaping ALWAYS seems to involve a water feature. I think it might be the law.
In the good old US of A – landscaping seems to involve a couple of spotty youths in a van who show up, plant a few of those odd looking conical shrubs and cover everything else in mulch.
