"Great landscape reference" according to Diana. I've been taking some course work that requires doing landscape designs. This book has been very useful in developing a starting point to developing my own style of landscape graphics to use in my design work. The step by steps are clear enough to allow you to recreate similar style graphics, but not broken down to each line which saves space. :)I have not had an opportunity to compare this to the more recent edition, but based on the graphics I'm seeing in design samples offered by instructors, not much has chang. Great book for students getting degree in Landscape Design I gave it Great book for students getting degree in Landscape Design LFW I gave it 4 stars only because it didn't quite fit what I needed.

Yes there are many things we can use. but for our designs it is too detailed.. "One of my favorites, and one I recommend the most" according to M. Kennedy. Great for non-artists to try a new technique without having to learn more traditional drawing skills. Some information on perspective available, but several samples of arial plans that can get anyone started. Note that this is not a tutorial on landscape design, best options for planting, trouble spots, etc. It concentrates on just drawing your landscape ideas to represent for clients or even to hand off to your landscaper / lawn person helping with planting.
