Editorial Reviews

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.

Product Description
In Landscaping Your Home, some of the best designers in the field show how to do a complete makeover of front, back, and side yards. The book is packed with fresh ideas for entrances, foundation plantings, and pathways, and explains how to use landscaping to better situate a house, thereby increasing its property value. Lavish illustrations make this practical approach to landscaping easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced garden design reading, August 13, 2006
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.
