The sun has finally set on Sunset's 70's guide books - amen,
By Dan Hooper - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Landscaping with Stone (Paperback)
This is a well designed, and obviously recently redone, book. The content is a "hot" subject in the landscaping industry particularly as stonework relates to low water/low maintenance outdoor spaces. Both the sculptural and "connection with nature" qualities of stonework are now in vogue as well. And people don't mind spending the money today to acquire the permancy, strength and beauty of good stonework. This book should get even the passive observer excited about the possiblities.As a landscape designer, I'm constantly looking for good references and ideas that might not be common in my geographic area. This book does a very nice job of pictorally displaying dozens of stone-based designs and settings from all over the country (and possibly some internationally). The editorial content and organization of the chapters also contribute to the success of the book. If you like to look at a lot of professionally shot pictures of professionally designed, stone-based landscaping (and get decent captioning for each picture) this book should more than satisfy you. The only issue I have is that the type was a bit small and therefor difficult to read. But for the price, this book was a really good investment. I only hope all of Sunset's books have been equally upgraded to more current designs in order to meet and exceed our expectations. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:

Usefull book to get ideas of stone landscaping,
By Domagoj Vidovi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Landscaping with Stone (Paperback)
I'm glad I bought this book.
In the first part there are lot of pictures about stone use in the garden (stairs, patios, walls, paths...). For someone who needs the ideas or insight of stone landscaping possibilities I would recommend it. Of course the number of examples is limited with the number of pages, but it is in accordance with the price. In the second part are how to instructions which are also OK. This kind of instructions can be found also in other books, so for me the reason for buying this book would be the first part. 15 of 22 people found the following review helpful:
