Designing the Landscape: An Introductory Guide for the Landscape Designer, Second Edition - Softcover
Synopsis
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.

Review
"I like the way the book is organized with the design process. It helps to understand the different levels of design. I especially like the hand graphics developing design diagramming to augment photos of the various components of design. Good development of landscape design and easy to understand." --Glenn Matsui, California State Polytechnic University
"I have been using this text for over twelve years. It is by far the best introductory tool available to novice landscape designers/architects. It is well done!" --David Bloniarz, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
