×They landscaped the new park beautifully.
✓They landscaped the new park beautifully.
This sentence is grammatically correct. The common mistake is confusing the verb 'landscape' with the noun 'landscape'. Learners often forget that 'landscape' can be a verb meaning 'to improve the appearance of land by planting trees, gardens, etc.' The error typically occurs when learners try to use a noun form where the verb is needed, or vice versa, in sentence patterns.
×The garden was landscaped by them last year.
✓They landscaped the garden last year.
While the passive voice is not grammatically incorrect, it is often unnecessarily wordy and less direct when the agent ('them') is known. In most contexts involving personal or deliberate action, the active voice is more natural and concise for the verb 'landscape'.
×They are good at landscape gardening.
✓They are good at landscaping.
'Landscape' as a verb does not combine with 'gardening'. 'Landscaping' is the gerund/noun form of the verb 'to landscape'. 'Landscape gardening' is a related but more specific compound noun. When referring to the general activity, use 'landscaping'.
×After buying the house, they spent a year to landscape.
✓After buying the house, they spent a year landscaping it / the property.
The verb 'landscape' is usually transitive and requires an object (the area being improved). While it can be used intransitively in some contexts (e.g., 'He makes a living landscaping.'), it is clearer and more common to specify what is being landscaped, especially for learners.
×The route is very landscaped.
✓The route is very scenic. / The route has been beautifully landscaped.
Learners sometimes use 'landscaped' as a general adjective meaning 'scenic' or 'picturesque'. 'Landscaped' specifically describes an area that has been deliberately designed and arranged with plants and terrain. A natural, beautiful view is 'scenic', not 'landscaped'.
