Great book. Practical tutorial in landscape graphics, including site plans, concept plans, sections, section elevations, and perspectives. Includes useful graphic file for copying/imitating. Primary text for landscape graphics course I just took.

Was the textbook for my landscape drafting class - super useful and doesn’t use over complicated jargon. Explains things in easy to understand ways and doesn’t over explain. Illustrations were also great.

A valuable base text to build your hand drawing off. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a basic reference text for section and plan drawings!
