From Booklist

Curb appeal is by now a commonly used term for the process of beautifying the front yard or entranceway of a home. Creative landscaping concepts generally enhance the overall property, so backyards are given equal time in Landscaping Your Home, which offers fundamental advice on creating a landscape design from scratch. This collection of useful and enjoyable articles by expert gardeners includes plenty of how-to information--from measuring and drawing the basic layout, to matching one's house with an appropriate design scheme, and creating important focal points.

A cut above the typical home-center landscape book. Not another do-it-yourself guide but a collection of design considerations and approaches by multiple garden/landscape designers. Excellent for those interested in learning more about various principles of garden design.
