A high level of detail is needed in each cascade drawing. They are usually drawn at a lower scale than the master plan. Thus the master plan is split up into smaller sections in what is known as a key plan.
These smaller sections become the basis for each cascade drawing.
The key plan above displays the measurements of paving and pergola posts for a patio at the bottom of a garden.
The image above is the same section of the garden. It shows spot heights (crosses with numbers in black), drainage channels (in pink) and gradient slopes (arrows labelled 1:60 fall).
