As a floor, earth can be seen as an abstract surface. If apparently level, with just enough slope for drainage, it is ready to be covered with paving, grass, ground cover, or other planting, which is necessary to prevent dust in dry weather and mud in wet weather; if sloping or irregular, earthwork may be necessary to conform to new construction or to the design plan, to provide adequate drainage, or in order to relate properly to neighbouring topography and views.  1, record 1, English, - neighbouring%20views

Il est indispensable [...] de donner au jardin la plus large perspective, la vue la plus intéressante sur le site environnant : vallée, forêt, cours d'eau, ou plus simplement sur un élément de ce paysage, groupes d'arbres, clocher, ou même à défaut sur les frondaisons d'un jardin ou parc voisin. Dans le cas d'une vue particulièrement agréable, c'est toute l'organisation du jardin qui lui sera en quelque sorte subordonnée. Certaines lignes pourront contribuer à guider l'œil vers cet élément d'intérêt, ou bien la pelouse s'étendra dans la direction voulue, et des arbres encadreront la vue sans qu'aucun point dans le jardin ne sollicite en même temps, et ne retienne sur lui l'attention.  1, record 1, French, - vue%20sur%20le%20site%20environnant

Sodding is generally the best way to ensure a rapidly established groundcover that will stop erosion; on a steep slope, the sod should be pegged to stop it from slipping. If possible, terracing or other mechanical methods of erosion control should be combined with planting to counteract erosion.  2, record 2, English, - terracing

Carefully place plant into the prepared pits and fill in around the ball to one-half the depth of the hole with loam ... Roots that have been wrapped around the ball within the burlap shall be made to lay in as natural a manner as possible. Fill remaining area of hole with loam and thoroughly tamp to 85-percent of maximum density. Form a saucer around the edge of the backfilled hole by constructing a berm. The finish height of the compacted berm shall be 3-inches. No excess soil other than the berm will be allowed to remain within the plant saucer.

If you construct an earth basin around the tree or shrub, place berms just outside of the root ball. This forces water through the root ball. Irrigate the entire tilled area. Water will settle the backfill soil without restricting aeration.  5, record 3, English, - saucer

When gradients become as steep as 1:3, site grading features, such as retaining walls, stairs, ramps and tree wells, should be used. Retaining walls can increase the usable level space on a site. One method of accomplishing this is to build several low walls to create a terraced effect .... Fig. 63.
