Texas Home Landscaping, Mar 22 2010
By Katherine Hudson "TX Gardening Grandma" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Texas Home Landscaping (Paperback)
I was a little disappointed in this book. While it does have some really nice plans for new gardens it doesn't have enough emphasis on using native TX/OK plants. I've tried using some of the cultivars listed in the plans but they don't do as well as the mother plants so I hesitate to recommend this book to anyone but a newbie gardener who really wants their gardens to look like those in the book. Once you've been working in your own gardens a few years, I think you'll see the limitations of this book.I do like the way the pictures show time progression from first planting to a few years down the road. I think this will help a lot of people avoid crowding their new plants too much and will give new gardeners something to look forward to as their landscape matures.
I would suggest that unless you're a newbie gardener, skip this book and invest in one with focus on native TX plants that are much able to withstand TX summers and water restrictions.

Texas Home Landscaping, Jan 18 2008
By J. Fox - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Texas Home Landscaping (Paperback)
New edition is a wealth of knowledge for each area of Texas. Sections on walkways and paths and sections on specific plants for your area are the best I've read.

This review is from: Texas Home Landscaping (Paperback)
Having recently purchased my first home I picked up five different gardening books. I don't even know where the other four have gone, but now I have two of this one. It's a great guide which covers everything from plants that should thrive in the area (including care, size, and how to select), to various designs for commonly-found areas around your home.It even covers various landscape construction projects such as fences, walks, and patios, and is well-written and illustrated throughout.
