5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for both amateurs and professionals, 13 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This book is essential for anybody interested in serious landscape designing. It not only takes you through the stages of the design process, but also gives details of the style and quality of graphics required at each stage. It is suitable for all ability levels, from proffesional to amateur, and is probably one of the best technical landscape books that you can buy.

Everything is highlighted by the use of case studies, which make the the book extremely easy to use and to get the most out of. A really supurb book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book on landscape sketch and graphic, 22 Nov 2007
This review is from: Landscape Graphics (Paperback)
This book covers almost every aspect of landscape sketch and graphic. It is good for you if you want to learn hand sketch, it is also good for you if you want to create nice CAD drawings. Many of the tree /shrub symbols in both plan views and elevation views are nicely done, they can inspire you to create nice computer blocks for trees and shrubs for plans and sections and elevations.

It covers graphic language and design process, basic drafting, lettering (nowadays almost everyone can do nice hand lettering fonts with computer, but this book is still good for assisting you to select lettering fonts or create your custom fonts in computer), freehand drawings and conceptual diagrams, presentation plans, section-elevations, graphic symbols files for elevations and perspectives.

All the sketches, plans, sections, elevations and perspectives are nicely done. They can be good samples for landscape architecture students, garden design students, architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and seasoned designers.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as having an experienced designer sitting next to you!, 8 Jul 2008
By Graham Booth (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Landscape Graphics (Paperback)
Despite being six years since the second revised edition was published in 2002, this book is still a cracker. Normally I am a little wary of US publications for use in the UK but this excellent work rises above any minor international differences.

As a newcomer to garden and landscape design, Grant Reid's book will be an invaluable help until I have enough experience to carry out "on auto pilot" the skills he explains. And even then the book will be a useful reference. The subject is comprehensively covered and presented in an easy-to-follow, superbly illustrated style.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to both the enthusiatic beginner and to the experienced landscape designer as a handy reference. The next best thing to having an experienced designer sitting next to you.
