This book walks you through the processes of landscaping, from planning to installation, in a very readable, understandable and enjoyable manner.As a landscape designer, I'm always searching for references of any type touse when creating "yard spaces" and presenting those ideas to mycustomers.With books, I'm usually disappointed either with the graphicand/or written content regarding the details of landscaping, particularlythose publications sold at the Home Depots et al.This was different. Technical to the point that's necessary and not too "flowery" init's narrative, it just provides wellwritten ideas and executions formany landscaping tasks.The illustrations & photography in manybooks I've seen work OK but give the books an "old" feel,because, in many cases, they are old in date and style.With fewexceptions, the artwork and landscape "styling" in this bookappear current and appropriate.That made it a more believable booktoo.
All said and done, this book is an excellent value for those seekinggeneral-to-semi-technical information for a wide variety of landscapingtasks.With its emphasis on extensive and educated planning, this book isan asset to the homeowner and the landscape professional alike.In myopinion, one of the book's greatest achievements may be that homeowners,after reading it, can decide better whether to tackle a project themselvesor work with professionals.
