This book is a wonderful resource. The book is full of design ideas shown in site plans, 3-D renderings, and with great close up photos of the flowers, scrubs, and trees. Many designs are shown in each season and in a progression of how it will look in three to five years and then in ten to fifteen years. I found this book to be very helpful in designing flower beds, in picking plantings, and in knowing how to care for each planting.

I am new to gardening and I am have cleared out my backyard, I had no idea what I was doing or what kind of plants to put where until I read this book. It also has good ideas for building patios... great illustrations too!

I'm not under 13, but I didn't want to give my name and email.

This book is great. It takes advantage of some great underused native plants from the Mid Atlantic. It is very helpful because it provides plant spacing and maintenance. Most plants are low maintenance, all year interest.

I have used the landscape plans in my yard and will continue to use this book as my number one reference.

Home Landscaping has wonderfully illustrated and detailed landscape plans that I intend to use in my own yard. The book covers a wide range of landscape situations and details ideas for areas such as steep inclines, property corners, transitions from yard to woodland, and mailboxes. And for most (if not all) landscape situations there is more than one design for sunny versus shady. The book is also tailored for plants that do well in my growing area. In addition to all of that, the back of the book also includes a design for an arbor and instructions for how to install a retaining wall among other technical projects. I'm so glad I purchased this book, and look forward to many years of referencing it.

This book was wonderful because it had lots of picture to draw ideas from. It also had information on different seasons and how the plants would be affected. It was so helpful to me.
