RESUMEN

Part of Wiley's new Graphic Standard Field Guides series, Graphic Standards Field Guide to Softscape is the reference for the on-the-go professional. The perfect companion to the main Landscape Architectural Graphic Standards, this field guide provides the same standard architectural details and drawings that professionals count on from Graphic Standards, and adds photographs and interpretive information that are essential when outside the office and away from the design desk. The small trim size and durable binding makes it easy for landscape architects and designers to keep this resource on hand when on site, at meetings, or with clients. Organized to follow CSI's MasterFormat, this handy reference helps the landscape architect address a wide variety of practical issues pertaining to softscape including site work, working with Wetlands, irrigation systems, planting, and storm water drainage and structures. A procedural checklist makes sure nothing's missed on site.
