I bought this book as a required text for a college class. The book is full of great examples of graphics for use in landscape designs. Very basic, easy to understand, and well organized. Recommended for architecture and landscape architecture students or those interested in drawing landscapes.

The graphics in the book are so helpful to my projects and it sure helped me improve my graphic skills. I reckon it is a definitely must-have for all landscape students or landscape architects:) highly recommand!

Excellent resource for learning how to draw trees, vegetation and other elements for architectural presentation drawings. Many of the drawings can be photocopied and pasted on your own drawings and the author encourages you to do so if you are sketch-ability-deficient. Very good value.

I am a beginning landscape architecture student, and I found this book to be extremely helpful, as I am beginning to learn how to design proper plans. This book breaks down the basic tools to use for drafting, basic concept diagram info, great info on plan views, sections and section elevations. There is also a really helpful library of symbols (both plan and section) that I use all the time! Highly recommended for beginners!

I'm a landscape architecture student, and this book has been useful for making informal sketches, but lacks detailed drawings. Also, there aren't many examples of plants in plan view, but it's a good reference for plants in section.
