The flowers are blossoming, the foliage looks fantastic and the plant combinations are gorgeous. So why doesn't your garden satisfy? The problem just might be a lack of hardscaping - structures like arbours, walls, fountains, pools and decks that delineate, ornament, animate and add dimensionality to a garden. Using both his own and others' layouts, a top garden designer reveals why these structures are so important and how to incorporate them into the landscape. Each chapter examines a specific principle (creating balance, instilling motion, establishing focal points) and features illuminating discussions of style, function, application and plantings, as well as magnificent projects. Bring fresh life to a garden by adding a curvaceous patio with a rill, a sculpture plinth on a terraced platform, or a Victorian 'room.'
