Landscape design is the process of managing, planning, and physically changing the landscape. It involves the physical management of the landscape and the design of places. The goal of landscape design is to transform and enhance outdoor environments to more beautiful, expressive, and supportive places. This involves understanding of both technical aspects of landscape architecture and the more creative aspects of landscape design. In addition, landscape designers apply an understanding of places and their evolutionary possibilities, and are consistently sensitive to peoples' needs and values. Building on the foundation of a successful textbook, this new edition will meet the needs that have been created by changes in the practice and technology of landscape design in the years since the publication of the first edition.
