This book is truly a gem -- it clearly and concisely explains every imaginable aspect of residential landscape design using very straigtforward and easy to understand text and diagrams.Ignore the fact that this seems to have been written as some sort of textbook for a beginer's course for professional landscape architects. I am an ordinary homeowner and I found the book to be easy and enjoyable to read, and quite educational. I now feel like I understand enough to design a professional quality landscape for my own home.In case it matters, I own the second edition ( is now selling the third edition). I can only assume that this latest edition is even better than the edition I have.
what an outstanding book! i discovered this book during a course in garden planning that i'm taking this semester( i'm a student at the faculty of agriculture at the uni of jerusalem, in isreal) and it practically has all that you need to plan a super garden: the illustations are clear to understand, are varriable and give plenty of examples and of course ideas. the solutions to a lot of problems i encountered while trying to plan different spaces and gardens during my course, were solved with ease after looking through this easy to understand book. i dearly recommend any one with even the slightest love or nearness to gardening , design or just plain old mother nature to go out and get this book - it will surely help you get your house and garden design going in the right direction.
This book is great, but you might like to know that a 4th addition of this book is now available. Type in - "Residential Landscape Architecture: Design Process for the Private Residence (4th Edition)" and check it out.
Great book - easy to understand -well illustrated. This is for the serious designer who wants to improve their landscape. It is not a book on garden pictures and names so you can install that garden whether it will grow where you plant it.If you are having a major landscaping done on your property - this book will give you background so you know if you have the right designer.
I am in love with this book! It is clear, concise, well-written, and has wonderful graphics. I am a landscape architecture student at UCD and this book has taught me more than any of my teachers combined! Highly recommend.
Booth and Hiss describe in much detail the design process for residential landscapes. They strike a proper balance between basic design concepts and essential business knowledge. Landscape design students would do well to internalize the process described here, since the book's practical focus is unlikely to be duplicated in their Landscape Architecture curriculum.
This rating I am leaving is for the physical book, not the quality of the contents, which are excellent throughout. The Illustrations, examples and writing are all professionally done. The physical book, however is sub-par at best. Pearson has used the cheapest, thinnest, lowest quality paper possible, which is so thin that the graphics constantly show through on the reverse of pages, which ruins the readability. My 9 year old commented upon first glance, how thin the paper is. That's saying something.The hardcover is fine, and the binding appears to be okay.
The little bit of "landscaping" our house has from the previous owners was atrocious at best. I purchased this book to assist me in some of the design aspects of landscaping- the book is a little older (which I knew when purchasing) so it was [very] affordable and I am definitely getting my money's worth. We don't plan to stay there forever-- a few years maybe--, so I wanted to make sure I was not going too crazy with what I wanted to do while still adding to curb appeal and, I needed some basic guidance as I proceeded. It is more of a textbook than some of the other types of books out there, which I don't' mind, but there are some chapters on the "business end" of landscaping which don't apply to what I am doing. Some of it is common sense, but there are definitely some points, tips, and design aspects I was not aware of that are helping me plan out the next few years-- from walkways/steps, driveway/pavement, to building noise berms/barriers to how to group plants to accent the style of your house.
