This comprehensive guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions for creating a planting composition, from preplanning and developing a preliminary design to implementing the final plan. It enables designers to strike a balance between technical issues-such as regional vegetation requirements, soil grade, and climate, noise, and erosion control-and aesthetic considerations, including color, form, and seasonal variation.
