4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Site Design Reference,
By Anton Garcia, PE (San Diego, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Site Engineering for Landscape Architects, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I was a bit tentative when I started to use this text. The book has some minor editing problems, but if your desire is to really understand site design with an emphasis on drainage and grading plan design this text does the trick and does it well. I would recommend this book to any Jr. land development designer/engineer as a must have reference.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Site Engineering for Landscape Architects, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a great book to have on your shelf. Kept referring to it for my Site Technology classes and I know I'll be referring to it in the future. I found it very helpful and clearly written. Would highly recommend it.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Thorough but Poorly Organized,
By PJKW (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Site Engineering for Landscape Architects, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
Puchased this text to help review for the LARE exam. The text has all of the necessary information but is not layed out well. Illustrations are not located on pages where they are referenced in the text making it so that you have to flip back and forth across several pages to understand the text in relation to the examples.The larger problem with the book is that the answers to Exercises are not given. You will have no way to determine if you are completing the problems correctly or not. The only way to find out will be to have them reviewed by another Landscape Architect or Engineer. The text functions well as a reference for Landscape Architects to review formulas or storm water calculation techniques but if you are trying to use it for developing skills or for exam preperation I would not recommend it.
