To the OP

- 18-55mm IMO could work as a wide angle lens. Try to compose your shots. If you feel you need to go wider, try to take a few step back and recompose.

- I suggest you shoot using RAW at the largest image resolution so you can crop out anything that does not appeal to you.

- Use a tripod. It can help you strighten out your horizons and are indespensible when shooting long exposures.

- And Ed Hamlin is right, foregrounds have a very big impact in the overall feel of a landscape shot.
