		Eckbo discussed theory, too, but theory, to Eckbo, was internal theory—a grounding, a normative framework for the analysis of landscape and the practice of landscape architecture.
		Eckbo was frank and admiring of folk design, which he saw as straightforward, practical, irregular, and simple; he liked the doodads, the self-expressive use of ordinary objects like bottles.
		Eckbo was one of the rare designers who wrote a lot and who seemed to consider his writings as important as his designs, not simply as captions for pictorial puff jobs.

		Garrett Eckbo, as we have seen, adapted Tunnard's thinking to his Farm Service Administration projects such as the example we've seen from Yuba City, California.
		You may recall Eckbo's thoughtful creation not just of horizontal space, but of the sense of vertical space as defined by groupings or, more frequently, rows of one or another species of tree; each grouping is a different height, carefully arranged to create a different vertical room, and each room relates proportionally to the next.
		Eckbo still uses his excellent control of vertical space by making the height of those linear rows vary dramatically by means of carefully-selected tree or shrub species.

		Modern landscape design, says JC Miller, a landscape architect with Royston's former firm and co-author of "Modern Public Gardens: Robert Royston and the Suburban Park," "is all about spaces and the relations between spaces." Plants are often massed to produce painterly effects and chosen more for foliage and texture than for color.
		Eckbo and Royston were neighbors and friends, who often went dancing together with their wives.
		The firm Eckbo, Royston and Williams helped define landscape architecture in the United States and beyond, says Marc Treib, professor of architecture at UC Berkeley and co-author of "Garrett Eckbo: Modern Landscapes for Living." The firm would later split, with Royston forming a firm in 1979 known today as Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey.

		Landscape architect Garrett Eckbo made the most of his "unusable" slope.
		That was landscape architect Garrett Eckbo's thinking when he designed this angular, almost abstract, roughly 8- by 12-foot structure for his own rear garden in Berkeley.
		He wanted to accomplish three things: capture outdoor living space on a steep and otherwise unsuable downhill slope, distract the eye from the prominent roof line of a house on the lot below, and take advantage of a wide-open view toward San Francisco Bay.
