This study draws together the many strands that consistently feed into the landscape design discipline. Soil science, botany, zoology, geology, ecology, town planning, aesthetics and design principles are all a part of the work a landscape designer acknowledges in their work.

It is the multi-disciplinary approach of landscape design that allows this particular study to bring together local plants, local soils maps, geological history and local planning rules. They are all unearthed then reassembled in a manner accessible to homeowners living in Hamilton City.
