Things like balance (symmetrical/asymmetrical), color, line, rhythm/pattern, harmony/variety of elements, etc. It's like art with found objects on a very large scale. “Good” landscaping considers the same elements as “good” art.

The only thing I can think of to say is that Sculpture is work in three dimensions. So is landscape gardening, but of course you have to keep re-working it, because things grow and change naturally. A garden has to be designed in two dimensions on paper, and has to be made in three, like sculpture. You sort of answered your own question.
