Attempting to fill a gap in the literature of landscape design, this book provides guidance and instruction for the professional designer. Designers must have a wealth of knowledge on the actual techniques of design and construction, materials and methods, and this volume provides many of the answers they would seek in such areas. Conditions in many countries result in problems which are not best solved by high tech western solutions, and traditional local techniques, which may almost be forgotten, may provide the solution. Practical suggestions, backed up by reasons, should aid the newcomer with tropical landscape design.
