It was good, but if I was hoping for something more helpful or definitive than your average collection of DIY youtube videos... I didn't find it.

This book has some GREAT ideas. Living currently in the desert and being somewhat of an environmentalist doesn't allow for a lot of landscaping options that keep the native flow. There are many ideas that I will implement as a result of reading this.

Many pictures of uses of worked and natural stone in landscaping and gardens. A good resource.

Not only does this book feature some great designs, but it also showcases step by step instructions of how to make them. Great for beginners and experts alike.

A mostly high-level discussion of stone work, with lots of photographs. Emphasis more on creative design than on the practicalities of laying stone.
