Landscape designer Davidsen shares widely diverse projects that highlight the importance of ecological landscape layouts. Beautiful photos showcase each project, with a variety of green style elements to complement each location without disrupting the environment. Each project is described in detail about the owner’s vision for the land and how the design team incorporates those desires using ecological landscape design tailored to each individual property. This book is an inspiration from innovative designers who focus on restoration of the land, conservation, and rewilding the landscape with use of native plants and green roofs.
VERDICT While these projects are unique to each location, thus making duplication of ideas not realistic for readers, it does provide good insight into creating within a natural environment and ideas for the advanced home landscaper.
