<div>Just wondering, why would landuse=landscaping fit in the
landuse category of flowerbed and grass not?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I like the idea. It is a bit the same as my suggestion
for landuse/ natural=urban_greenery + landcover. But with the
landscaping tag, basically all human made green (especially in
built-up area) should be tagged then as landuse=landscaping?
Also imagine farmland and a road. Between those two, there is a
2m wide patch of grass to fill the space. Would landscaping also
fit there? When I, as a non native english speaker, think of
landscaping, I think more about the greenery in parks and
gardens. I understand that other greenery in a built-up area is
also part of the landscape but the term might be a bit
confusing.<br>

<p>The patch of 'waste land' between the road and farmers fence is
there because of the road - <br>
</p>
<p>In Australia under some conditions there is a legal requirement
for a 'road verge' .. <br>
</p>
<p>Usually thought of as required for safety. landuse=highway would
the the tag I would use here. The vegetation here varies greatly
... dirt, sand, native grasses, weeds heath, shrubs, small trees
.. even large trees (which are a safety hazard). </p>
<p>While some of it is 'tendered' as in landscaped most of it has
very little work done on it, some times it gets rubbish (paper,
drink cans removed sometimes it gets 'mowed' by tractors with
large cutting implements. <br>
</p>
<p>For ease of mapping landuse=highway would be most universal,
easiest to map. <br>

<div>This is an excellent observation - I see the landuse=
hierarchy as covering things like "residential",
"commercial", "industrial", etc. The tags
landuse=flowerbed and landuse=grass are a poor fit when
compared to the rest of that key.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is really being asked for here is tagging to
micro-map small landscaping features. Perhaps there is an
opportunity here to create a new top-level key for this
purpose.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would call this key "landscaping" and it would take
the form landscaping=type_of_landscaping.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The exact list of values would need some development
and thought, and I'm not sure what overlaps might exist in
existing tagging, but you might imagine values that look
something like:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=shrubbery (for the current example)<br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=flowerbed (deprecates landuse=flowerbed)<br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=grass (for lawns, deprecates landuse=grass)<br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=ornamental_grass (for beds of ornamental
grasses)<br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=mixed_plants (multiple types of plants in
combination, bushes and flowers, etc)<br>
</div>
<div>landscaping=desert (desert-style landscaping, rocks,
cacti, etc)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<p>I'd go with landcover .. as that will be more universal. <br>
</p>
<p>Some times I may not be able to tell if it is 'landscaping' or
not, but I can tell if there are flowers, shrubs, heath, grass
etc. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Deserts can be sandy, rocky ... they don't all have the same look
nor land cover. <br>
