Daniel,
I like the Dynascape SketchUP.  Is the Dynascape easy to work with using their SketchUP landscape SketchUP plant materials? 

Looking good as always Daniel! My only complaint is the people, in that I hate them, in that I don’t have them. I’ll send you some of my newer stuff today to see what you think.

What rendering tool did you use for that model?

Thanks! 

We will be having our Workshop in LA on July 31. I’ll post more information shortly.

I’m looking for a class to take for Section D…anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

Whats everyone working on these days that they would like to share with the group?
We would love to hear and see what great things you are creating…
Come on in and please share with everyone…

Hi
Does anyone have project info or links where I can find detail on landscape projects in Africa. Especially places out of South Africa.

Can anyone point  out a good source for sustainability and materials and methods. It felt great on the exam, but something has to be missing. Im floating between 2s and 3s and I have referenced many books that I have. Do the practice exams help?

Thanks, Veenu!

Alland, 
 
Something I can think of right now are, 
Pavement Cross sections, look for 
-thickness of concrete
-proper placement of filter fabric
-water proofing etc
 
Stairs
-Riser thread heights or riser tread combined dimensions
-Handrail height, end handrail wrap up
 
Gaurdrails- spacing between rails, height, minimum requirement of gaurd…[Read more]

any idea what may be some of the flaws in the construction cross sections?
steps, hardscaping, retaining walls, etc?

Great, thanks for the help!
 
I think I’m going to buy the LaGro book to start with and try to get the other ones through interlibrary loan (which never even occurred to me at first). 
 
I would eventually like to buy all of them, but that’s almost $600 for all the books (used), exam fee, and study guides, so that’ll have to wait. 

The test had questions from all four books.  I think the Site Analysis by LaGro would be the most important followed by the Booth and Russ books.  I suggest you read them all though if you are serious about passing the exam.  They are great books to have in your library for referencing throughout your career so make the investment if you can.

Jessica, you should be able to get all these books at your local library through interlibrary loan.
