Best Landscaping Book for this region

This book is a must have for the southeastern gardener. Common (well-known) names are used for plants, and numerous landscaping plans included. My favorite landscaping book.

Helpful

Good plant info. I would have liked more landscaping plans, nonetheless they were able to provide flexible enough information to get me started. I especially like being for a specific region.

Another wonderful resource

The book covers most of the landscaping issues with easy to understand planting guides. A very good book for planning all or a part of your yard.

Great Idea Book and Reference for Southeast Landscaping

I found this book in the library and after renewing it 3 times figured I'd better just buy it. I've checked out many garden plan books, but this one had the info I needed to plan for different seasons, how the plans would look in a few years, and what I needed to maintain the plants. It's specific to the Southeast so I don't waste time on plants that won't work for me. It's a great idea source and reference.

Excellent! Clear instructions with great diagrams.

This book is an excellent guide for the new or veteran homeowner. It's filled with lots of ideas and a variety of plants including trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers and a few annuals. It offers a samples of typical planting scenarios for the home landscaper. Identifying each design as good for sun or shade and showing the variations is one of the best features. Seasonal variations are also helpful. But the best feature is that it clearly diagrams the placement of each plant including distance from the structure and distance from each other. Drawings and actual photographs of plants are also helpful. I highly recommend this book for the new or renovating landscaper.
