Landscaping is sometimes considered a type of agriculture. Agricultural activities include farming, ranching, and forestry. Horticulture, the science and art of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants, is often considered a subcategory of agriculture. Landscaping, on the other hand, generally refers to working with live plants in a non-agricultural setting, such as in yard or garden.<\/p>\n

No, landscaping is not considered agriculture. Agriculture is defined as the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, and other products used to sustain human life. Landscaping refers to the practice of modifying the visible features of an area of land, which can include planting trees, shrubs, and grasses, as well as constructing roads, walkways, and other structures.<\/p>\n
