and, in the landscaping process, develop an attrac-
tive outdoor environment. In the way of illustra-
tion, landscaping may prove very instrumental in
accomp li shing:
1. The blending of the building and ground togethe
in such a way as to enlarge the usefulness and
pleasure of property, improve the appearance,
complement the architecture of nearby buildings,
and increase the lasting value of the property
as well as the property of the neighborhood;
2. The reduction of the apparent size of bulk areas,
such as a parking lot. The expanse of an area
may be diversified with such visual varieties as
plantings, walls, fences, and fountains; or, it
may be broken into sections by changing levels;
3. An effective separator and noise buffer strip be-
tween professional, commercial, i. ndustrial, and
residential uses;
4. Concealment in a pleasing manner, rather than to
set everything out in full view;
5. Subtle screening in .order to conceal commercial·
and .industrial operational and service areas;
6. Skillful highlights and/or to change the mood and~
character of main centers of interest on a buil(~
ing site.
