对景观的感知关怀是景观吸引力的主要决定因素。细心通常体现在景观的整洁上：草皮或作物颜色的均匀，观赏植物的摆放，围栏和边界的使用，以及没有杂草或垃圾。然而，在看起来不整洁的风景中，也可能表达出关心。例如，在使用原生或耐旱草的地方，在林下植被占主导地位的地方，在没有修剪沟渠或草坪的地方，在出现湿地植物的地方——所有这些都可能表现出生态保护，但看起来并不整洁。在农业景观中，最少耕作和保护区地块也表现出同样的“凌乱”照料。尽管整洁作为护理美学的一种形式占据主导地位，但如果人们知道他们所看到的生态功能，或者如果景观背景表明凌乱的外观是有意的，那么“凌乱”的景观就会看起来很有吸引力。在园艺学中，无论是在生产还是设计层面，护理的美学都可以被解释为超越整洁，包括景观的生态功能。
Perceived care of the landscape is a primary determinant of landscape attractiveness. Care is typically recognized in the neatness of a landscape: evenness of turf or crop color, placement of ornamental plants, use of fences and borders, and freedom from weeds or litter. However, care may also be expressed in landscapes that do not look neat. For instance, sites where native or drought-tolerant grasses are used, where understory dominates the forest, where ditches or lawns are not mown, where wetland plants appear—all may demonstrate ecological care but not look neat. In the agricultural landscape, minimum tillage and Conservation Reserve parcels exhibit this same “messy” care. Despite the dominance of neatness as a form of the care aesthetic, “messy” landscapes look attractive if people know the ecological function of what they are seeing, or if the landscape context indicates that the messy look is intentional. In horticulture, at both the production and design levels, the aesthetic of care can be interpreted beyond neatness to include the ecological function of the landscape.
