SECTION DRAWINGS OF A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUAL TREES (FIGURE 15-29 AND 15-30)

Figures 15—29 and 15—30 each show 20 examples of section drawings of individual trees.

The site plan in Figure 15—33 represents about a quarter of the entire site. This resi­dential property consists of the main house, the business office of the owners, barns for agricultural equipment, a horse barn with paddock, formal lawns, meadows, masses of woodlots, and a large proposed pond, as well as roads and walks through­out. When developing landscape designs of this size, initial design and planning are
directed primarily toward the location of major structures, locations of vehicular and pedestrian circulation, major masses of plant materials, large individual shade trees, and general sizes and forms of lawn panels, terraces, pools, and so on. Given the scale of the plan, only so much detail is appropriate. Therefore, color rendering of a plan of this type should stay simple, with minimal color for the various design elements. This color plate was prepared by The EDGE Group—Planning, Landscape Architecture & Graphic Design, Columbus, Ohio.
