General landscaping ideas for a neophyte4
I was looking for a comprehensive book that included general landscaping concepts/ideas, walkways and hardscaping ideas, plant information, planting technique, deck/patio elements....pretty much everything including a good balance between great photographs and substantive content. I got it with this book!
