  1. Landscape Plans By: Johnny M. Jessup Agriculture Teacher/FFA Advisor

  2. Sequential Plans • Types of Sequential Plans • Functional Diagrams • Preliminary Designs • Final Plans • Each is increasingly more specific and detailed.

  3. Functional Diagrams • They begin the arrangement of the client's program on the site. • Are called “bubble diagrams” because…. • They use loosely drawn freeform shapes to represent areas or shapes. • Help the designer make decisions concerning layout and sizes and the use of each area.

  4. Functional Diagrams

  5. Preliminary Designs • They break the “bubbles” to show first draft vision of how each landscape area will be shaped.

  6. Preliminary Designs • The landscape is given its…. • Form. • Type of materials to be used. • Application of landscape design principles. • Are simple without real details, but…. • The horizontal & vertical relationships between objects and areas are now included.

  7. Preliminary Designs

  8. Preliminary Designs • A number of preliminary designs may be shown to a client before the final plans are made.

  9. Final Plans • Use suggestions & reactions of the client to make a master drawing that is graphically detailed & completely specific in its intent for the landscape.

  10. Final Plans • They include…. • Precisely identified plants & other materials. • Paving patterns. • Other specific & detailed information such as construction drawings for the landscape contractor & subcontractors.

  11. Final Plans • Graphics are designed to impress.

  12. Landscape Plans • Computer assisted or drawing board.

  13. Graphics • Is the lettering & numbers. • Types include…. • Free-hand lettering • Mechanical • Computer

  14. Landscape Principles & Procedures

  15. Principles of Design • Balance • Materials are distributed evenly on opposite sides of a central axis. • There are 3 types of balance: • Symmetric • Asymmetric • Proximal/Distal

  16. Types of Balance • Symmetric • One side is a reflective mirror image of the opposite side. • Most formal type of balance.

  17. Types of Balance • Asymmetric • Each side has as much interest as the other, but is not a duplicate of the other side.

  18. Types of Balance • Proximal/Distal • Balances right and left as well as near and far.

  19. Balance • Macro-Range • The viewer sees the landscape from the most distant vantage point. • Closer Range • The views from other locations not as distant.

  20. Principles of Design • Focalization of Interest • Selects & positions visually strong items in the landscape composition to create focal points. • Draws the eye of the viewer to one major feature in each use area such as a corner building.

  21. Principles of Design • Simplicity • Seeks to make viewers comfortable within the landscape. • Excludes any unnecessary changes in…. • Shape • Color • Direction • Etc.

  22. Principles of Design • Rhythm & Line • Repeating something at a standard interval or pattern creates rhythm. • Lines establish the shape & form of landscape.

  23. Rhythm & Line • Replicating strong existing lines such as the lines of the house or pool. • Functions of line plantings include…. • Foundation plantings. • Block a view. • Frame a View. • Provide Privacy

  24. OUT OF SCALE/PROPORTION Principles of Design • Proportion • The size relationships between all the features of the landscape including vertical, horizontal, and spatial relationships.

  25. Proportion • Maintains proper proportional relationships in a landscape between…. • Buildings & people. • Buildings & plants. • Plants & people. • Plants & plants. • Masses & soils.

  26. Principles of Design • Unity • All the separate parts contribute to the creation of the total design.

  27. Unity • Ties together the individual parts of each use area by…. • Repeating prominent colors. • Repeating construction materials. • Continue interior design themes to outdoor rooms. • Repeat plant species. • Raise patios, decks, and porches to door level.

  28. Landscape Process • Process is a sequence of steps to reach a goal.

  29. Landscape Process • Project development process goes from…. • Need or objectives. • Design process. • Accepting the design. • Contracting & subcontracting. • Actual landscaping. • Acceptance. • Billing & payment.

  30. Landscape Process • Project maintenance process starts with…. • Need or desire. • Moves to selecting landscape maintenance company. • (They assess the needs & presents a proposal.) • If proposal is accepted…. • Company schedules & does work & then bills the customer.

  31. Landscape Process • Design process includes…. • Site analysis • Program analysis
