Features: This book is one of the series "Landscape Engineering Construction Technology." It primarily covers the technical properties, quality standards, and application techniques of basic building materials, construction materials, greening materials, and construction machinery in landscape engineering. The book introduces conventional building materials such as cement, concrete, metal materials, waterproofing materials, and masonry materials. It places special emphasis on landscape engineering water supply and drainage, sprinkler irrigation, rockery and mountain landscapes, garden road lighting, and ancient architecture decorative materials. The book has a broad scope of knowledge, is richly illustrated, and is highly practical. It can serve as a training textbook for workers in the construction industry and for landscape professionals in higher and secondary vocational and technical colleges. It can also be used as a reference for landscape engineering and design personnel to select and properly use various landscape construction materials.
