Not all forms of landscape architecture are accepted by the general public. While some forms are more commonly associated with popular architectural themes, Earthworks are works created that increase awareness of urban environments and their contributions to public health through practices such as earthmoving, hillside preservation and construction of retaining walls and bridges over streams and aqueducts. Earthworks are not necessarily monumental in scale and frequently incorporate elements of natural landscape such as retaining walls and bridges.
