The landscaping design styles that you see around evolved over time.
I think recent landscaping history in the West is about more than just how design has evolved.

Landcaping is the experience that accompanies the entrance to a house, from there you create an expectation of lifestyle from the homeowner.
The architecture is confirmed by the designs of gardening.

Enjoy

Los estilos de diseño de paisaje que se ve alrededor han evolucionado con el tiempo.
Creo que la historia reciente de jardinería en el Occidente es algo más que, cómo el diseño ha evolucionado.

Landcaping o diseño de paisaje,  es la experiencia que acompaña  la entrada de una casa, a partir de ahí se crea una expectativa de vida del dueño de casa.
La arquitectura se reafirma por los diseños de jardinería.
