This book is an excellent guide for the new or veteran homeowner. It's filled with lots of ideas and a variety of plants including trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers and a few annuals. It offers a samples of typical planting scenarios for the home landscaper. Identifying each design as good for sun or shade and showing the variations is one of the best features. Seasonal variations are also helpful. But the best feature is that it clearly diagrams the placement of each plant including distance from the structure and distance from each other. Drawings and actual photographs of plants are also helpful. I highly recommend this book for the new or renovating landscaper.

I found this book in the library and after renewing it 3 times figured I'd better just buy it. I've checked out many garden plan books, but this one had the info I needed to plan for different seasons, how the plans would look in a few years, and what I needed to maintain the plants. It's specific to the Southeast so I don't waste time on plants that won't work for me. It's a great idea source and reference.

The book covers most of the landscaping issues with easy to understand planting guides. A very good book for planning all or a part of your yard.

I do not know a lot about gardening, plants, or landscape design. I simply want my home to look pleasing and welcoming. This book outlines landscape designs for shady and sunny landscapes. There are clear descriptions for the different plants and further descriptions for the plants in the reference section. My only suggestion is to put the size of the plant's height and width in the landscape plans. I want to avoid very tall bushes and that would help. Overall great resource.

This book is a must have for the southeastern gardener. Common (well-known) names are used for plants, and numerous landscaping plans included. My favorite landscaping book.

For someone like me that has a hard time designing outdoor spaces, this is a great book. There are lots of diagrams and suggestions for creating really lovely and appropriate landscapes.

Good plant info. I would have liked more landscaping plans, nonetheless they were able to provide flexible enough information to get me started. I especially like being for a specific region.
