Gregory M. Pierceall. An Illustrated Guide To Landscape Design, Construction, and Management encourages graphic, written and verbal skills in the communication of landscape design. Through our understanding of the principals and elements of design, the implemented landscapes create spaces and places for people to enjoy.
