Landscaper's ability weakens a plant to either make it pose less of a threat to you, or to stop it from attacking entirely. It can also be used to lower the strength of a plant to 2{{PvZH Icon|strength}} or less, thus allowing that plant to be destroyed by [[Rolling Stone]] or [[Weed Spray]].

If you are able to lower a plant's strength to 0, it gives you a definite edge on that lane since the plant on it can't do anything, and your opponent is unable to play anything on that lane if they lack plants with [[Card#Team-Up|'''Team-Up''']]. This essentially allows you to play set-up zombies such as {{PvZHLink|Zombie King}}, [[Team Mascot]], and [[Aerobics Instructor]] on that lane with little fear of them being destroyed, unless your opponent either plays tricks to destroy them or boosts the plant's strength back up again.
