I have a Degree in Landscape Horticulture with a concentration in Design, and I ordered this book for my dad, who is always asking for my expertise in landscaping. I was looking for something that would be very comprehensive but not just another project book, something that could be used more like a landscaping manual. This book seems to be just perfectly what I was looking for. It introduces the reader to most every aspect of landscaping in a well organized and logical order. It covers important information for those just starting out, including how to address problems in the landscape and even how to make your own designs. I knew this would be perfect for my dad, as he needed much of this information before he could begin to successfully take on his own property. With all this information, it does include 52 projects that can be completed one weekend at a time, which is perfect for my dad and the average DIY landscaper, as the weekends are often the only time they will have to do landscaping projects around the house. I think this book was the perfect gift for my dad, it was just what I was looking to get him! In fact, I should have bought a copy for myself, as it would serve as a nice reference and project book!

I love this book. A little of everything if you're looking for new ideas...even if you have an idea on what you want to do, i'm sure you'll find a cool way to do it in this book. Has a lot of pictures or diagrams. Easy reading and colorful.

I have not yet sat down and completely read the book. I know I wanted it because I spent a bit of time looking thru it when I was in a Menards. Now that I have it and have looked thru it, am very happy I have it. I do recommend it to anyone who likes to do this type of thing.
