**I did not read the entire book, only parts of chapters** What I did read, I found to be helpful and informative. I would recommend this as a starting place for anyone looking for a landscaping resource, especially DIYers.

Pretty good, most of the projects were beyond what I can or want to do, but I enjoyed most of the information.

It seemed to try and encompass all things you may want to consider for your home landscaping. Lots of suggestions, even some decent plans for many projects.

I refer to this book often. It is very helpful and fun to read.

Good basic coverage of planning your landscape

Excellent beginner way to conceptualize changing the landscape in your yard

Excellent pictures and ideas, the projects are not so well explained
