- Abstract : Aimed at students and professionals, this book covers all aspects of landscape construction, giving a good understanding of building materials and of assembly. Well-designed landscape construction depends on a thorough understanding of materials (including their formation, chemistry and physical characteristics) and of practical construction. Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into five chapters on general principles, materials, elements, assembly, and protection and finishes. The book is illustrated with numerous specially commissioned, detailed construction drawings. At the end of the book there is a glossary and an appendix of technical information.
