Customer Reviews

An invaluable aid

This book is a must have for anyone doing either a small landscaping job or an extensive one. It is one of the best I've ever seen.

Great help book for planning your garden

This book has great pictures, design layouts and recommended plants to use together. I refer to it often.

Excellent book for landscape ideas

If you don't want to rely on your own creativity for landscaping your property, you need to check out this book. It features 54 landscape designs covering almost any situation, like entryways, streetwalk plantings, corner gardens, slopes, shady areas, woodland gardens, passageways, gardens under trees, mailbox plantings, etc. Every design is beautifully drawn and lists every plant that is included. The plants can then be looked up in the plant directory in the back of the book for more detailed information. An installation guide gives detailed instructions and helpful illustrations on how to build patios, pathways, trellises, gates, ponds, retaining walls, and more. The book also features detailed sections on other landscaping issues such as preparing the soil for planting, buying plants, planting basics, caring for plants, pruning roses, training a vine on a support, and caring for perennials (complete with a list of deer resistant plants). Highly recommended!

Southeast Home Landscape

The book was very nice with lots of plans but the cover had about a 3" cut from what looked like a utility knife.

LOVE THIS BOOK....

Anyone who loves to garden but who has no idea how to start will love this book. The photographs are incredible, the designs are easy to understand and its written in clear and concise terms for the novice gardner to understand and learn from.
