This document discusses the process of landscaping. It defines landscaping as modifying the visible features of an area of land, including living elements like plants, natural elements like landforms, and abstract elements like weather. The key aspects of landscaping are that it creates an outdoor space that is both functional and visually appealing using trees, plants, walks, and other features. There are five considerations in planning a good landscape: that it is functional, maintainable, environmentally sound, cost effective, and visually pleasing. The document then outlines the four steps in the landscape design process: creating a base plan, developing bubble diagrams, drafting a concept plan, and creating a final landscape design using symbols.

2. LANDSCAPING
 Landscaping refers to any activity that modifies
the visible features of an area of land,
including:
1. Living elements, such as flora or fauna; or
what is commonly called gardening, the art and
craft of growing plants with a goal of creating a
beauty within the landscape.

3. LANDSCAPING
2. Natural elements such
as landforms, terrain shape and elevation,
or bodies of water.
3. Abstract elements such as the weather and
lighting conditions

4. LANDSCAPING
 This entails the creation of an area where
trees, plant, turf, decks, walks, ponds and
other features are used to create an outdoor
space that is functional as well as visually
appealing.

5. LANDSCAPING
There are five consideration in planning a good
landscape. The landscape should be :
1. Functional
2. Maintainable
3. Environmentally sound
4. Cost effective
5. Visually pleasing

6. BASE PLAN
Landscaping starts with the base plan, which is
developed from the information collected about
the site. Information is obtained from many
sources such as interviews, site survey, site
analysis and the study of site plans and
structural and utility blueprints.

7. LANDSCAPE DESIGN
There are four steps in the landscape designing
sequence:
1) Bubble Diagrams
2) Concept Plan
3) Draft Design
4) Final Landscape Design

8. BUBBLE DIAGRAM
A bubble diagram defines the spaces that are
identified on the base plan. A designer may
sketch many bubble diagrams before the most
suitable one is identified . Once a bubble
diagram has been chosen, it will continue to
be refined and the size and the shape of
bubbles will change.

10. CONCEPT PLAN
Concept plans are more detailed than
bubble diagram, the shapes of the
space now begin to look like what the
actual spaces in the completed
landscape look like.

11. DRAFT DESIGN
This stage continues to define in greater
specificity. The rough draft is reviewed and
revised until the designer is satisfied with the
result. The space created in the concept plan
now have specific forms and functions. It is
important to assign specific space to the plant
to be used in the draft design. The location of
these plant spaces on draft design help to
determine the types of plants or plant
groupings.

13. FINAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN
In the completed landscape design, the designer
use graphics and symbols rather than words.
Different symbols are used to indicate different
types of plants- evergreen, deciduous trees,
groundcover and so on. Hardscape material
such as brick and decking are also depicted
graphically.
