Domestic gardens have been a valued element of family landscaping during the past centuries. An urban environment adorned with a little green space which not only provides a form of relaxation for the eyes but at times a refuge for animals, insects and birds. In various parts of the world, these domestic gardens are slowly becoming endangered because of the housing and large building activities that are taking up most of available land space.
In the forefront of this danger are large old houses with sprawling gardens which are becoming favorite targets of developers who knock down the structure and bulldoze the land in order to erect buildings that will bring them profit without consideration for the scenic and environmental essence of the landscaping.
