Abstract

The confluence of rapid urban expansion and ecological pressures is shifting the focus of urban landscaping from "affordable to build" to "manageable to maintain well." Refined maintenance, centered on data support, process closed-loops, and result orientation, emphasizes the synergy between plant health, landscape quality, and urban character. It enhances green volume quality, ecological service functions, and public aesthetic experience, responding to resource constraints and high-quality development needs. Based on this, this paper explores the whole-life-cycle management of urban landscaping, delineates the connotation and characteristics of refined maintenance, and clarifies its role in improving the ecological environment, maintaining plant health, and enhancing urban cultural taste. It further analyzes its guiding effect on the rationality and aesthetics of landscape design. Specific pathways are proposed, including optimized vegetation allocation and zoned maintenance, professional and standardized management, integrated pest management, and optimization of irrigation and fertilization systems.
