This third volume of "Landscape Construction" covers the design and construction of simple earth and water retaining structures as far as the normal scope of landscape work is concerned. Major civil engineering work is excluded.

Landscape Construction Volume 1 deals with elements of landscape construction which are required to provide enclosure, privacy, demarcation of land, shelter and security. The elements discussed include free-standing brick and stone walls, fences, gates and railings. Fittings and finishes are also covered. Each section describes the materials, construction and constraints relevant to the subject and a large number of detailed figures and photographs supplement the text and help to illustrate the more important aspects. There is also a section on preservation treatment and painting. The current British Standard references are included.

Catherine Fortlage is Principal of Architectural Systems Consultants and was formerly a lecturer in Systematic Design at Heriot-Watt Faculty of Environmental Studies, Edinburgh
