Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer (2nd Edition) (ISBN 0131720635)

Excellent resource for landscape designers and landscape architects:
This book should definitely be on the shelf of anyone who designs landscapes unless you have already mastered all there is to know about plan graphics. The first edition of this book was very good, but the second edition is even better. The only reason I gave it a raing of four stars rather than five is that it contains only a very brief section about color rendering, a topic that deserves much more attention than Bertauski gives it. But it's still a great book even with that imperfection.

Perfect building blocks for landscape plan graphics:
We used this book in Landscape Design at my college. It is an essential tool for the basics of plan graphics and design layout. It focuses on keeping the design clean and professional. I STRONGLY recommend this book to any first year Landscape Design student, or any professional who needs a good reference tool.

Required reading:
This is a must have book for a beginner landscape design student and an excellent review for a more advanced student. It provides a step-by-step discussion of the design process with plenty of illustrations and examples.

Plan Graphics for the Landscape Designer:
Great book! My instructor also said that if he had written a book for his class that it would be just like this one

Everything you ever wanted to know; but...:
Indispensable! As a novice to the field of Landscape architecture/ design; this books proves to be the most valuable source I have found in explaining techniques that are often overlooked in the studio instructions at universities. Step-by-step guides, no subject is neglect as self evident or insignificant; - a must read.
