Backyard improvements

This has been a wonderful book that I have enjoyed savoring. There are diagrams to be used as tools that are impressive, all surrounded by fabulous pictures of realistic projects. Laypeople as well as professional builders can all benefit from the beauty of this book.

A Great book for Ideas and Inspiration!

The book clearly states that it is a 'Backyard Idea' book, not a how to or a design book. So for the 2 star review before, it is just plain silly. However, this is a great book if you like to sit back and dream ideas for your backyard. It has some ideas that may be out of reach financially for some, but it also has some budget tight ideas as well. And you can create a combo of both if you'd like! I love designing my own backyard landscapes and this book certainly adds to even more ideas. Recommended for those who sit in their yards dreaming what they can do to make them fun and relaxing.

Good choice!

I'm satisfied. More than enough pictures with detailed analysis for each. There is nothing missing.

Very helpful book with great ideas

I haven't finished reading it yet but so far love it. It has many photos along with a paragraph about why/how this works - the type of landscape and things to make sure you do/don't do. I am buying a copy for my sister for xmas.
