This article offers an in-depth analysis of the contribution of geography as a technical,
aesthetic, and environmental tool in the practice of landscaping. It addresses how the
fundamentals of geographical science — such as relief, climate, land use and occupation,
hydrography, and biogeography — are essential elements for planning, executing, and
maintaining sustainable and functional landscape projects. From an interdisciplinary
perspective, the article explores the interfaces between spatial analysis, cartography, remote
sensing, and ecological practices. The objective is to demonstrate how geographical knowledge
enables more accurate decisions in spatial interventions, promoting environmental quality,
ecological balance, and aesthetic enhancement. The methodology is based on literature review
and analysis of landscape projects with explicit application of geographic techniques. It
concludes that mastering geographical fundamentals is indispensable for landscaping
professionals committed to environmentally coherent and human-centered interventions.
