Designing the Landscape: An Introductory Guide for the Landscape Designer

Veteran author and landscape designer Tony Bertauski has created a practical text for beginning courses in landscape design. Highly illustrative and affordable, each of the book's uncluttered, easily digestible chapters builds on the previous one to clearly and simply examine the overall design process - from start (the client interview) to finish (presentation) . A 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.
