 Great book for creating stone garden projects Feb 27, 2004
By W. Oliver
This large paperback book may only be 96 pages but it is incredibly detailed and the color photos and illustrations are excellent. For each project the author covers types of materials, site preparation, design, estimating quantities, measuring, as well as step by step instructions on building the project. Projects covered: Garden Walls, Arches, Patios, Paths, Steps, Planters, Rock Gardens, Seats and Tables, and Ponds. A section on "Small Weekend Projects" shows how to make a mounting for a sundial, paving around trees, laying stepping stones, and building a patio planter out of rocks. A "Reference" section in the back of the book includes detailed information on tools, natural stone, man-made wall blocks, paving slabs and blocks, mortar and concrete, dry mixed materials, mortar mixes and ready made concrete.

 Outdoor Stonework Feb 27, 2011
By musicmill
"MM"
I was looking for some landscaping ideas & information. This book was printed awhile back & is project oriented - with several specific projects, including walls, which I wasn't really interested in. However, the suggestions on how to do a patio space & a walking path w/ paving stones were useful. At least, I'll know what's involved when hiring someone. Probably, I could have found & printed most of what I needed from articles online. It took awhile for the book to arrive - over a week, if I recall - but I wasn't in a rush. It is in excellent condition.
