Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area around your home is your haven, your sanctuary, your refuge from the noise and irritation of traffic, eyesores, and nosy neighbors. Or at least it could be if there was some sort of barrier between your front yard and the sidewalk, or if you didn't have to stare at the back of the neighbors' garage when you want to relax on your patio. Landscaping for Privacy brims with creative ideas for minimizing or even eliminating the nuisances that intrude on your personal outdoor space. Scores of real-world examples show you how to keep the outside world at bay by strategically placing buffers (such as berms or groups of small trees), barriers (such as fences), and screens (arbors or hedges, for example) around your property. And the helpful plant lists tell you precisely which varieties to choose in order to enhance your sense of seclusion. If you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of privacy whenever you step outside your home, this inspiring book will steer you toward an achievable solution.

Download or read book Principles of Ecological Landscape Design written by Travis Beck and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, there is a growing demand for designed landscapes—from public parks to backyards—to be not only beautiful and functional, but also sustainable. Sustainability means more than just saving energy and resources. It requires integrating the landscapes we design with ecological systems. With Principles of Ecological Landscape Design, Travis Beck gives professionals and students the first book to translate the science of ecology into design practice. This groundbreaking work explains key ecological concepts and their application to the design and management of sustainable landscapes. It covers biogeography and plant selection, assembling plant communities, competition and coexistence, designing ecosystems, materials cycling and soil ecology, plant-animal interactions, biodiversity and stability, disturbance and succession, landscape ecology, and global change. Beck draws on real world cases where professionals have put ecological principles to use in the built landscape. The demand for this information is rising as professional associations like the American Society of Landscape Architects adopt new sustainability guidelines (SITES). But the need goes beyond certifications and rules. For constructed landscapes to perform as we need them to, we must get their underlying ecology right. Principles of Ecological Landscape Design provides the tools to do just that.

Download or read book Outdoor Living written by Robyn Schmitz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outdoor Living: A Guide to Design, Construction, and Budgeting is a practical guide for consumers who are considering investing in landscapes and outdoor living spaces. Inside this book, readers will discover how to identify quality contractors, how much a project could cost, and ways to enhance their enjoyment of their exterior spaces. This is not a DIY guide, but a rather, a resource to help people understand how to maximize their investment and protect themselves when working with contractors. An educated consumer is able to make the best decision for their circumstances. Dr. Greg Davis, Associate Professor at Kansas State University said, "You'll find in this book many photographs of successful implementation of excellent landscape design projects for outdoor living spaces, and Robyn shares with you some keys to success for those installations. She will show you how to to things yourself if you are so inclined, but because most of us have neither the time, talent, access to high quality materials to embark on such ambitious projects, she goes to lengths to explain in detail what these projects should cost." Davis also says, "If you are someone who is interested in enhancing your outdoor living environment at home or at work, then you will find this to be a unique piece of work. As a landscape design professor, I have bookcases stacked with books about landscape design and construction, and not one of them conveys the central message you will find in this book: that is, "This is the type of quality you should expect from your investment in your outdoor living spaces- and what you should expect it to cost."
