The cost of land generally includes the cost of clearing, grading, planting, and landscaping.Land preparation costs, such as landscaping are depreciable Certain improvements made directly to land or added to it (such as shrubbery, fences, roads, sidewalks, and bridges) are generally depreciated over 15 yearsKeep in mind that depreciable rental property costs with a useful life of 20 year or less may be eligible for bonus depreciation.I don’t think the sources that you found are accurate since some of the improvements you mentioned can be depreciated and over a shorter period of time.
