What is landscape?

LANDSCAPE WORKS: SOFTSCAPE

The geological structure of land , its soils, animals and its vegetation; the pattern of human activity fields, forests, settlements and local industries (International Symposium on Protected Landscapes,1987)

WHAT IS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ?

The art of applying scientific principles to the land its planning,designing, and management for the public health and welfare, with a commitment to the concept stewardship to the land

What is landscape?

LANDSCAPE WORKS: SOFTSCAPE

Landscaping is how we use or how we decorate compound outside a building. Or in other word the decoration of land where we want to. We can decorate the land using two techniques, SOFT CAPE or HARD CAPE.
We can use either one or usually people use the COMBINATION of both of them.

VIDEO PRESENTATION I
LANDSCAPE DESIGN FOR SMALL HOUSE

GROUND COVER

Applied to small plants (less than 18 inches tall) which cover the ground in place of turf

Plants that are smaller in size than trees and usually multi-stemmed. Shrubs are most commonly used as a wall element in the outdoor room

SHRUB

PALM

Monocotyledons and have only one seed leaf All sword trees have a few very big leaves formed one at a time at stem from a lot of material and the leaf base is board and encircles the stem

TREE

A tree may provide full or partial shade, while creating a feeling of intimacy or openness

CLIMBERS
Climbing plants do not have self-support trunks or branches and they various modifications to lift themselves up towards the sunlight.

EXAMPLES
1. GROUND COVER a) Bougainvillaea b) Hedera helix 2. TREE a) Mesua ferrea b) Khaya Senegalensis c) Filicium dicipens d) Plumeria rubra 3. PALM a) Roystonea negia

4. SHRUB a) Baphia Natida b) Axonopus Compressus

Definition of soft landscape

LANDSCAPE WORKS

Referred to element of the plants whether trees, climbers, shrubs, herbs or ground covers. Landscape more to organic which its element depends on nature and times. Laying out of an area where its design element depends on natural features.

MAINTENANCE WORKS

WEEDING to ensure good establishment by reducing competition. WATERING it is more effective to soak the soil thoroughly to a good depth occasionally than to sprinkle it frequently. BEATING UP- to note any dead or failing plants, it can be replaced during the following planting season.

STACKING & GUYING

Generally all trees over about 1.5m high require staking initially. The staking of smaller plants may be considered on exposed sites. The long stakes for larger trees are approximately 2.8m long, with a butt diameter of 75-100mm, driven 1.0m into the ground. They should be offset in position from centre of the pit, on the windward side. Wire guying, secured above or below ground is an alternative means of supporting large trees. Semi-mature trees can be anchored with underground guys, strapped over their rootball and fixed to sleepers below ground.

STACKING

Staking is a stake that is used to support the plant from physical damage due to wind disturbance

Single staking

Multiple-stick staking

Types of ropes for staking

MUTIPLE STICK STAKING

SINGLE STICK STAKING

Standard tree with single long stake.

Two long stake- used for larger trees, or on exposed sites.

Standard tree with short stake.

Types of guards to protect young trees from grazing animals.
