Students explore the application of construction methods and the nature of the materials.
Natural and synthetic materials are introduced and construction techniques for walks, walls, fences, decks, and pools are detailed. This is a studio of aesthetics, design, and construction and how they are dependent on each other. Cost estimating is critical to the success of a landscape project and will always be the background reference. Students study concrete, wood, steel, masonry, and plastic for the construction of pavement, walls, steps, fences, decks, and other structures. Emphasis will be on the process of building landscapes.
