+200 VISUAL MAPS FOR UK LANDSCAPERS
Garden construction clearly explained, visual and straight to the point
For landscaping students, apprentices and professionals building their site knowledge. Planning, groundworks, paving, drainage, fencing, decks, lawns and practical checks — one topic per visual map.
You can see the paving, the ground, the drainage and the finished garden — but how do the details fit together? Follow annotated drawings, work through calculations and compare real-world situations. Find the topic, understand the detail and connect it to the wider job.
Explore selected pages from the planned collection on mobile, tablet or computer.
Some of the visual mapsin the collection
Organised by topic, including:
Planning & measurement
Read plans, sections and levels. Follow worked examples for areas, dimensions and material take-offs.
Ground preparation
Identify the ground, formation and supporting layers, and understand why their roles differ.
Patios & paving
Connect the finished surface to its build-up, edges, joints, laying pattern and intended water path.
Drainage
Trace where water comes from, where it collects and where it can go before choosing a solution.
Fences & gates
Compare fence arrangements, components and interfaces with sloping ground and gate openings.
Decks & garden structures
Recognise deck components, ventilation, drainage and details that need product-specific design.
Lawns & planting beds
Understand soil preparation, turf establishment, planting areas and early care.
Problems & site checks
Separate symptoms from evidence, compare possible explanations and identify the next useful check.
What's inside
Planning & Measurement
Site observations, drawings, setting out and levels. Use annotated plans and worked geometry to connect a dimension on paper to a site decision.
Ground Preparation
Topsoil, subsoil, formation and pavement foundations. Understand the role of each layer and the information needed before construction.
Patios & Paving
Materials, patterns, cuts, joints, edges and finished surfaces. Read the construction detail as well as the visible result.
Drainage
Surface water paths, collection points, drainage arrangements and destinations. Compare observations before assuming that every wet area needs the same solution.
Fences & Gates
Posts, panels, rails, boards and gate interfaces. Compare stepped and raking arrangements and check the requirements of the selected system.
Decks & Garden Structures
Components, supports, interfaces, ventilation and drainage. Recognise where dimensions and fixings need a designed specification.
Lawns & Planting Beds
Soil preparation, turf laying, planting areas and establishment. Connect the preparation to the care needed after the work.
Problems & Site Checks
Symptoms, observations and possible causes. Compare situations and identify the next useful measurement or investigation.
Understand it, don't just memorise it.
Garden construction made visual, practical and easier to follow.
A plan shows one view. A specification describes another. These maps bring drawings and explanations together: a panorama to see the parts, a worked example to follow the calculation, or a comparison to distinguish similar situations. Use them alongside your training and the relevant project and product information.
