- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
- This manual is a MUST for practicing land professionals. This is considered a "bible" for anyone who works with the land. As you know this field is constantly changing but this book is fundamentally sound and thorough. More reviews

"Time-Saver Standards for Landscape Architecture" can help to set an industrial standard for Landscape Architecture.
