Hardscape explores the intrinsic beauty of hard landscaping materials and the enormous opportunities they allow for making fast, innovative and stylish changes to your garden. Ann-Marie Powell takes materials like slate, concrete, granite, decking, willow and steel, and shows how to use them with great impact in the garden: re-roofing the garden shed with timber shingles, mosaic work on floors and walls, living willow fences, arbours and gazebos are just some of the makeovers she has in mind. This will be both a sourcebook and a project book suitable for inspirational and practical reference alike.

Initially I bought this book out of curiosity at the appearance of Ann-Maries own temporary garden space at the house she is renting in London, including bright plastic kiddy chairs and dangerously fun planting.
However once you get under the cover it does delight as much as my initial impressions of her garden. It has ideas that are both bold and innovative, however they all have a touch of something that you could add to your own Room outdoors.
Whether you are interested in garden design or just make the most of your own little plot this is rated amongst one of the must haves..

This book was purchased to give imaginative ideas to my son who is a landscape gardener.
This book and its ideas in my opinion are somewhat eccentric and expensive projects.

Oh those Brits and their gardens! The book arrived 10 minutes ago and already I'm dizzy with joy. Beautifully photographed ideas for hardscape materials in situ from stone and wood to rubber and metal to ceramics and glass. Structure, boundry, and surface. Oh my!
