4.0 out of 5 stars Inspired Backyards, April 17, 2009
Looking to add some color, ambiance, or even excitement to your backyard? Backyards: A Sunset Design Guide offers it in spades. This guide offers something for everyone: For kids, the book covers skate ramps and backyard playhouses; for entertainers, you'll find a wealth of ideas from pools and spas to kitchens, pizza ovens, and fire pits; but if your tastes are simpler, you'll learn about container planting and lighting.

To get started, you'll find pros, cons, pricing, and tips for designs ranging from vegetable gardens to fences. Allow the full color images to spark your creativity, and then use the tips and supply lists for implementation. The lavish photos might not allude to it, but the carefully written building recommendations incorporate environmental planning into every gorgeous concept.

The book comes complete with an interactive DVD, which only works on computers with a DVD-ROM drive. But you don't need the DVD to benefit from the wide range of classy ideas and advice the book provides.

If you're ready to make the investment, Backyards... promises to inspire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Backyards review, September 28, 2009
By G. Strout (Chula vista, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Was looking for a book with pictures of attractive gardens, yards, and landscapes to brainstorm ideas. This book has lots of pictures with relevant information of important aspects observed in the pictures. The pictures cover a variety of yards from inner city, northeast yards, dry areas, big and small areas. Coverage includes use of accent pieces, colors, focal points, a variety of styles of walls, walkways, heavy plant areas, limited plant areas, high maintenance and low maintenance backyards. If there is a weakness, I would have like to see a few more "artsy" backyards, but there were plenty of creative, cleaver, and attractive backyards from which to get ideas.
