Format:Paperback
I bought this book to help me lay some paths around the land. It has many great ideas and I cant wait to start. There are many pictures and drawings showing what is possible with many different types of natural materials. I have one or two other Sunset books and they are all detailed and well presented.

A Good Start
25 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sunset does a good job here of providing basic information on using stones in landscaping, including a very nice part on pebble mosaics. This book is better than the Taunton book on the same topic. Taunton suffers from sloppy editing, e.g., too much duplication on garden paths, and insufficient explanation for the DIYer. The main criticism here that I have is 1) lack of modernism. There is almost no coverage for modernist applications of stonework in architectural landscaping. 2) An adversion to including significant "commercial" installations. For example, the garden at the Getty Center, or any similiar garden, could have been included for inspiration and ideas. Overall though, its worth the money, and better than the Tauton competition.

We landscaped our backyard last year complete with flagstone patio, gardens and a rock retaining wall. This book was straight forward and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great How-to Stone Book
13 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
Excellent Sunset guide and well written book with plenty of photos, tips, ideas and how-to indications to be crative and build your desired garden, paths, walls, etc... with stones. Ample information on how to build with stone: tips, instructions and sources for materials. A must have for a gardener.
