An excellent resource
Unlike many gardening/landscaping books, this one has *specifics* about different projects, i. e., terracing hillsides, building paths, etc.Much information not found in other books.

Informative but Blurred
I agree with the other reviewers that this book is very informative and helpful. However, if you also like gorgeous garden photos you're bound to be somewhat disappointed. There are lots of photos, but they aren't insharp focus. Sometimes only one flower or a portion of a background picketfence is all that is sharply focussed. I understand blurring to accent aparticular flower, but that is not what has been done here. It's more likethe shots of middle-aged movie stars where close-ups are in soft-focus tosoften their aging. Ridiculous there, very annoying in a book where youexpect the photos to be outstanding. Still they show nice composition andgroupings.

Great Book!

It's really All About Landscape Design
Hi, I'm Jo Kellum, the author of this book. In it, I take you step-by-step through the design process so you can create a yard you'll love. Fancy drawings aren't necessary, but you do need to plan before you plant and this book shows you how. Whether you need a little design advice or are planning a major landscape makeover, I think you'll find All About Landscaping helpful. I am a landscape architect myself but this book is written for everybody (no landscape experience required!)

P.S. Write reviews and let me know what you think!

P.P.S. If you're looking for information about how to pick the right plant for the right place and tons of how-to projects on everything from planting to pruning, check out my latest book: Landscaping 1-2-3 (The Home Depot). There are three versions of this book so you can buy the one that has the best information for your region.
