When it comes to an image, colours and sketches are preferable to description in words. If you can show your client coloured presentations, he can visualise the finished project more fully. There are various mediums for colouring such as watercolours, pastels, markers and colour pencils. Acquiring skills in using any of these colouring tools to present a full-colour project will convince your client better than with a plain, gray-scale proposal.

The landscape architect visibly modifies land and open spaces with the objective of applying the most artistic transcription of architectural language, by working with both animate and inanimate physical structures that arise from geographical and social structures, as well as various technical and economical situations. For this reason, the driving force behind any competent and creative planning solution is imagination. The landscaping projects featured in this book illustrate designs adopted for new sites and the expert restoration of others, some with multiple uses. These various projects take us from large landscaping plans in open spaces, both on private properties and out in the wild, to more complex installations or structures such as landscape bridges.
