About this eBook
Having conducted numerous on-site visits in preparation for landscape designs, I've accumulated valuable experience over my three decades of engaging in site work. Recognizing the significance of sharing my best practices in site work, I've come to appreciate the essential role of a thorough site assessment in the design process. Even with my extensive experience, I occasionally find it necessary to adhere to the principles I advocate for in site work, as it forms the foundation upon which design decisions are built. Neglecting to gather accurate information during on-site visits can lead to various complications, such as improperly measured grades, inaccuracies in measurements, or overlooking critical photographic documentation.
