This second edition of the award-winning Soils for Landscape Development provides a globally applicable method for landscape architects and designers, specification writers, landscape contractors, nursery growers, turf specialists and soil supply companies to properly specify landscape soils using objective and measurable criteria. It uses systematic, clear and practical templates.

The book links landscape design processes with sound modern soil science practices to promote better quality project outcomes by ensuring that the basis of the landscape, the soil, is suitable for the intended purpose. The authors emphasise environmental impacts through site soil reuse, promoting appropriate minimal soil intervention and using recycled products, with example compliance specifications.
