Booklist Review
This book is written both for do-it-yourself landscapers and for home owners working with landscape contractors. The guide comprises both design principles and practical maintenance matters. The first chapter offers basic insights into creating an orderly landscape. The next four chapters focus on planting designs that are functional and aesthetically pleasing. There's a historical overview of landscape architecture and chapters on soil, fertilizers, mulching, lawns, shrubs and trees, vines, espaliers, ground covers, flowers, and pests and diseases. The book will have 185 color photographs, with captions detailing the design elements and specific data on pruning, fertilizing, and mulching of the plants pictured. ~--George Cohen
