It will be the first book you'll want on stonescaping--a simple "learn to do it yourself" guide to superb projects beginners can handle with professional results. There's guidance on developing a layout, drawing a plan, choosing tools, mixing mortar, jointing, excavating, providing drainage, and improving aesthetics. Pictures present magnificent stones for your consideration, from granite to marble to quartzite--along with advice on buying, cutting, and placing them. Outstanding projects include a variety of walls; columns; a paved walkway; patio, archway, stone pond, or steps.
