Preparation for the Design Process The one key to successful landscaping is to
consider the features of the site and the surrounding area. Designers will note site characteristics such as: drainage of water Slope of the land Soil conditions Existing vegetation Existing structures Climate

The Design Process Design may be produce with the simplest
equipment or top of the line computer technology.
Computer Technology is the fastest growing segments of the information age

The Design Process What does Computer assisted design
(CAD) mean?
refers to the use of computer hardware and software to produce drawings

The Design Process When Drawing a plan you must have the
following: Drawing board T- Square Drawing paper Drafting Tape Drawing pencils Triangles Eraser and erasure shield Scale

Site Analysis The site analysis plan is a piece of paper
with an accurate sketch of the house and lot on which observations are recorded.
Some of the features to be notes on a site analysis plan follow are: Orientation of the House The lay of the land

Site Analysis Orientation of the House
Need to know your directions N,S, E, W Locating the activity areas of the land. Need to know how much shade an area gets Need to know how much wind exposure the
area gets.

colored soil below the topsoil Soil is classified into horizons
A horizon is the topsoil that has humus, roots, organisms in it
B horizon is the subsoil that has fine particles, leached materials , and some roots
C horizon is the Parent Material where there is weathered bedrock and some leached materials
R horizon is the Bedrock underlying solid rock

Site AnalysisClimate
Climate is broken down into two categories:
Macroclimate
Microclimate
![Page 22: Analyzing the Landscape Site. Preparation for the Design Process The one key to successful landscaping is to consider the features of the site and the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697c01a1a28abf838ccf327/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Site Analysis Climate Cont.. Macroclimate concerns the temperature ,
precipitation, humidity and wind over the large areas or region
Microclimate is the temperature, precipitation humidity and wind on the landscape site.
