Site assesment, locating buildings, locating boundaries, slopes, terrain models

Neighbourhood resources

As you approach the locality, make notes on the species of plants that are growing well, particulary older specimens. This information provides you with a plant palette with which to work.

Slope

Assess the slope of the site. Use your own height as a rough indicator.
