You'd never know you could do this much with landscaping, Jun 25 2007
By Spicoli - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Landscaping with Stone: Create Patios, Walkways, Walls and Other Landscape Features (Paperback)
What beautiful and innovative designs this book has. My husband and I wanted to landscape much of our property with stone. We actually did more than planned because we were so impressed by much of the ideas in this book. A concern of ours was the price. Much of the simpler projects you find you can do yourself (such as the small retaining wall around the garden), which saved on additional labor costs. We were guided which stones to use, and stones that could be found around the property. For the work that was a bit more extensive we called in a professional and showed him from the book what we wanted. He was very much impressed with this book himself.

Great pics, Feb 2 2007

This review is from: Landscaping with Stone: Create Patios, Walkways, Walls and Other Landscape Features (Paperback)
I love the full color pictures - it gave me all sorts of ideas. I just wished there were a few more pages on "How to do it" I'd recommend this book though for the price - it was awesome.

If you're looking for inspiration, this is it., May 7 2007
By Shelley C. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Landscaping with Stone: Create Patios, Walkways, Walls and Other Landscape Features (Paperback)
Beautiful book, well put together, LOTS of pictures. I especially liked the way the author covered different styles of stonework. I'm not a fan of very formal design and he included examples of more informal, earthy landscaping.
