Description
This second edition of the award-winning Soils for Landscape Development provides a globally applicable method for landscape architects and designers, specification writers, landscape contractors, nursery growers, turf specialists, and soil supply companies to properly specify landscape soils using objective and measurable criteria. It uses systematic, clear, and practical templates.
The book links landscape design processes with sound modern soil science practices to promote better quality project outcomes by ensuring that the basis of the landscape, the soil, is suitable for the intended purpose. The authors emphasise environmental impacts through site soil reuse, promoting appropriate minimal soil intervention, and using recycled products, with example compliance specifications.
Key features:
- Provides 14 updated performance-based soil and compliance specifications, including ultra lightweight green roof soil, high fertility display and vegetable production topsoil, and biofiltration soil.
- Includes new sections on low budget landscapes, small projects, and soil fundamentals for landscape architects and designers.
- The authors received the 2015 Australian Institute of Horticulture (AIH) Literature Award and the 2014 Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture (AILA) NSW Research and Development Award for the first edition of this book.
