Backyards: A Sunset Design Guide
• 11 years ago
Backyards review Was looking for a book with pictures of attractive gardens, yards, and landscapes to brainstorm ideas. This book has lots of pictures with relevant information of important aspects observed in the pictures. The pictures cover a variety of yards from inner city, northeast yards, dry areas, big and small areas. Coverage includes use of accent pieces, colors, focal points, a variety of styles of walls, walkways, heavy plant areas, limited plant areas, high maintenance and low maintenance backyards. If there is a weakness, I would have like to see a few more “artsy” backyards, but there were plenty of creative, cleaver, and attractive backyards from which to get ideas.
great ideas! This book has some excellent ideas and tips. I used it when consulting with some landscapers to show them my own preferences and ideas, and they were able to help me visualize our final patio area. Will definitely continue to consult this book for garden and patio inspiration!
