Book Reviews of Stonescaping Idea Book (Taunton's Idea Book Series)

Book Review: Stonescaping
Summary: 5 Stars

This was a gift for a family member who bought a house in a desert area. Although many of their neighbors had a lawn, water is very expensive, and they wanted to try something else. They're very happy with the book, and intend to implement some of the ideas.

As always, Taunton press has turned out a very helpful 'idea book'.

Summary of Stonescaping Idea Book (Taunton's Idea Book Series)

The right kind of stone and how you incorporate it in your landscape and garden can make all the difference. Stone, a broad term that includes pavers, fieldstones, bricks, rocks and boulders, and stone veneer, can be used to create a distinct yet practical component to any yard. And with the variety of natural and manufactured stone products widely available today, incorporating stone in the landscape is no longer out of reach.

Stonescaping Idea Book showcases a wide range of inspiring and practical ideas for using stone in all types of landscape settings and for all budgets and regions of the country. Along with tried-and-true designs for inviting walkways and beautiful walls, new ways of using stone in gardens and patio spaces are also presented. You?ll discover ideas for creating graceful streams, waterfalls, or even simple fountains that will help transform your backyard into a private retreat. And you?ll find a wide range of outdoor living spaces that family and friends can enjoy for years to come. As the examples in the book demonstrate, there is a world of stone to explore; this book will help get you started on the right path.

Topics covered include:
Patios & Terraces
Paths, Walks & Steps
Walls
Pools & Ponds
Seating & Sculpture
