This book deals with the basics landforms, scales, gradient, interpolation, spot elevations, contour lines and cut and fill calculations as well as delving into more specific topics such as landscape stabilisation, stormwater management and grading on the construction site. It reviews the potential of digital site modeling and its application to the actual staking out of sites and remote control systems for machinery. The book closes with a number of inspiring projects and a set of practical exercises, which will assist readers, landscape architects and architects alike, in becoming familiar with site grading as one of the most important design tools in landscape architecture.
