New Complete Home Landscaping is an updated, expanded edition of Creative Homeowner's award-winning comprehensive book on landscaping for the home. It covers every aspect of home landscaping, from design principles to construction projects; plant selection to plant care. The book consists of three parts, Part Preparing to Landscape explains how to design and create a landscape. Part Setting the Stage shows how to build such features as paths, ponds, walls, decks, and watering systems. Part Planting and Growing describes how to select, plant, and care for flowers, trees, shrubs, ground covers, and lawns.
This has been a step above the other books I have read on the subject of landscaping. I thought the section on pruning was excellent. The other sections were similar to past books but seemed to give more useful detail. Now time to start making some stuff, yahoo!
