This is an example of how my drafting table looks at the beginning of a design project. I like to spread out, and have the following items readily available:

Photos of the property
Trace paper
Tape
Eraser
Scratch paper
Texas tree photos on the wall
Straight edge
Triangles
Architectural scale
Brush
Circle and Square templates
Every size pencil, pen, and marker
Landscape Architecture Handbook
Coffee

Generating a detailed design plan can be accomplished through good observation and notes from the field. Installing a successful landscape relies on a detailed plan that specs the right plant and material for each site condition.
