Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every professional landscape designer develops his or her own design process, emphasizing some steps while minimizing or eliminating others. It’s important to learn every aspect of the process before getting on the job. Bertauski’s comprehensive and readable Designing the Landscape presents every facet of the design experience from client interviews and concepts through presenting and pricing a master plan, so students can learn what works and what doesn’t when they still have the time and opportunity to make valuable mistakes. The author’s focus on topics that foster understanding of the functionality and aesthetics of design equips students with skills they need to be effective designers. While residential design is emphasized, many concepts and steps can be applied to commercial projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for a complete guide on landscaping and gardening design? Then keep reading... Once the homework has been done, it is now time to start to think about designing your new landscape. You can proceed one of two ways from here. You can take your plot plan and ideas to a professional or you can go through the design process yourself. Most people start here without doing the homework that you just read about. This is a big mistake because all truly good design must accommodate the items that we cannot change.If you decide to proceed on your own at this point, I have listed a few ideas and recommendations below.I would like to say just a few words on the subject at this point in the process. I am a landscape architect by trade. I am not a plumber, mechanic or electrician. My wife will surely tell you that I am not a painter or an accountant. My point is that we all have our areas of expertise. IF you are not comfortable in the next step or you feel overwhelmed by all the choices of plants, mulches and hardscape treatments, then you should engage a professional in the green industry at this point. This book covers: The Fundamental Of Landscape Design Knowing Everything Before To Start Land Scape Design Guidelines Low-Cost, Easy Raised Beds For Your Landscaping Garden Design: The Main Components Plant Design Overview Tree's And Flowers For Your Landscaping Design The Social And Small City Garden Design Landscape Styles For Different Environment Kinds The Garden Country Style Mine Blowing Landscaping Ideas ...And MoreYou could hire a landscape architect, landscape designer, or nurseryman to help you with your plans. The first two will probably charge a consultation fee. The nurseryman may or may not (if you buy the plants from his establishment). This is money and time well spent. The information that you have previously gathered will make their job extremely easy. This is their area of expertise and armed with the information that you have gathered, they should be able to generate some pretty amazing results in just an hour or so. Who to choose? Here is where you need to do some homework again.It has been my experience over the years that nurserymen tend to design landscapes that are "plant heavy". It makes sense since they are in the business of selling plants. Some landscape architects are too "plant light" resulting in sometimes sterile results. The designer that mixes an appropriate amount of plants, lawn and architecture to satisfy your requirements in an aesthetic manner IS the person you want. You can find the right professional by asking neighbors, looking at landscapes that are appealing to you, and visiting nurseries in the area. Ask if different designers have web sites and view them.Whichever path you take during the design process, please take the time to do your homework before beginning. I cannot stress the idea enough that an informed designer will create a wonderful, and functional landscape almost always.Want more about this book? BUY NOW!

Book excerpt: DID YOU KNOW THAT MORE THAN 80% OF BOOKS ABOUT GARDEN DESIGN ARE HARMFUL TO BEGINNERS?... The majority of garden design and landscaping books are good, but too difficult and technical and, above all, they provide sector-specific information that doesn't give you an overview of the process of creating a garden design necessary to understand how to apply it. Although garden design books contains much information, 73% of the readers considers them really confusing. Do you know why? Many books only focus on a specific area of the process of garden's creation, giving you lot of information, which is often too difficult and expensive for a beginner. If you start from scratch, you'll need an easy and step-by-step guide that allows your mind to picture a clear and complete view of the basis of the process needed to create the design of a garden. That's why I created this simple guide for beginners like you, since I have been working as a garden designer and architect for 20 years and I know exactly the doubts you have and the information you need. This is what you'll find in the book: Which are the basics of landscape design that you must absolutely know to create a garden; What you need to know before the creation of the garden in order to avoid mistakes that can be expensive; How to design a garden from the scratch; Low-cost strategies that allow you to save from 20% to 40% of your expenses; Selection of plants and flowers based on your climatic zone; All the elements that can't be forgotten in a garden design; How to choose your favorite garden's style; Creative ideas for your garden. After reading this book, you'll be sure that you won't make mistakes in planning and creating a landscape design, since you'll know all the "pieces of the puzzle" and you will be able to combine them in the right way. Just know that the first consultancy with Mark Parkers costs 1000 $, but thanks to this book you can have access to his 20-years-experience by paying a low price. So let me give you a piece of advice: instead of buying technical, difficult and confusing books that will drive you crazy, just learn the basis and the entire creation process of a garden design!!

Then keep reading...Now that it is finally summer, it is likely that most of you will spend time focusing on your lawn and landscaping. It will certainly be intimidating if you do not have a green thumb and have never really attempted much landscaping before. Do you know what plants to purchase? Are you skeptical about whether or not you can manage them? Want to purchase mulch? Alternatively, soil? Do you know how frequently they need to be irrigated? There are several variables to build the right landscaping plan, and it can be challenging to know where to start. The majority will be utterly frustrated at the idea of managing it themselves and may opt then to recruit somebody for the job like a landscaping professional or expert. There are countless advantages in landscaping your yard because it makes the dull dark areas look not only vibrant but also significantly add to the value of your house or property if you are aiming to sell it.However, why should you spend the extra dollars when you can take the expert advice from a book that does what it claims to? Landscape design is certainly something that will often involve some error and fail, but it can involve out a lot of guesswork only by doing some homework and knowing more about what you are doing. Landscaping for Beginners is the right book for you; it contains everything a beginner should know in order to become a pro. This book will help you understand: -What Landscaping Actually Is & How it Differs from Gardening-What are the Types of Landscape Designs You Can Create?-What are the Tools You Need to Purchase? -What Other Creative Ideas You Can Try to Further Enhance Your LawnThis book will provide you everything you need to know in order to become a professional yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition was published in 1992, Nick Robinson's The Planting Design Handbook has been widely used as a definitive text on landscape architecture courses throughout the world. It remains one of the few titles written by a practicing landscape architect and educator who is also a horticulturalist and accomplished plantsman, and which deals with the application of planting design on a large scale in landscape architecture and urban design projects. The Planting Design Handbook is distinctive for its elegant integration of an ecological approach with an understanding of visual and spatial composition. It emphasizes the role of vegetation layers and designed plant communities in complex and diverse plant assemblages for all kinds of sites and uses. This expanded and comprehensively updated third edition still provides a complete examination of principles and practice of design for public, institutional and private landscapes. It takes account of developments in theory and practice, especially in the use of perennials, and reflects a variety of media and approaches current in landscape architecture and design. All chapters have been revised and re-written to ensure updated references and new references have been added. Many new photographs of planting and projects around the world have been included, with examples of current professional drawings to illustrate the design process. It is generously illustrated, including a colour section and the beautifully detailed line drawings of the Chinese architect and painter Jia-Hua Wu.
