Two causes of blurry landscape photos are camera movement and shallow depth of field.
You can fix both by using a tripod or other camera support and shooting with a small aperture (large f/stop number such as f/16 or f/22) to get more depth of field. Another trick is to focus at the hyperfocal distance, part way to the horizon instead of focusing at infinity.
Here is a web site which will help you understand and use hyperfocal distance:

walshferdinand said it all. I have not used a tripod for my landscapes, but we are all different. Also, if you are using special exposures or long exposures a tripod is a must. Have fun experimenting. Be sure to make a note of what you did to get each result, it's easy to forget.

You can also look at how you hold your camera, press the shutter, and stand when taking the landscapes. Hold your camera securely with both hands, maybe one under the camera. Squeeze the shutter button gently instead of firing. Also, try making yourself into a tripod by leaning against something. It will give you more stability.
Good luck!

amateurs hand hold; photographers use tripods.
When you get a tripod, don't get a cheap on. Bogen has a nice one in the low $100 range

try using anything you can steady a camera on that is in your landscape's foreground like a branch, fencepost, rock, stick. Save yourself of luggin' a lot of stuff around.

It would definitely help...or if you have the stability feature built in on your camera you can turn that on.
