My husband and I wanted to landscape much of our property with stone. We actually did more than planned because we were so impressed by much of the ideas in this book. A concern of ours was the price. Much of the simpler projects you find you can do yourself (such as the small retaining wall around the garden), which saved on additional labor costs. We were guided which stones to use, and stones that could be found around the property. For the work that was a bit more extensive we called in a professional and showed him from the book what we wanted. He was very much impressed with this book himself. 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Great pics, February 2, 2007 By  Cheryl Rae "Web designer" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I love the full color pictures - it gave me all sorts of ideas.
