Designing the Landscape: An Introductory Guide for the Landscape Designer, Third Edition

Product Description
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.

Review
"The new edition looks wonderful: the drawings are incredibly helpful, the tips sprinkled throughout are time-saving gems, the design principles section has improved and is excellent, and the logical explanation of the sequence of events that produces a master plan is great." --Carol Kawula, Washington State University
