Patio: Garden Design & Inspiration
• 12 years ago
Must-read for garden design I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much from Jamie Durie, knowing him mainly for his home renovation shows in Australia.However, after much searching through countless books on garden design in bookstores, I found his books to be far and away the best I’ve seen.His designs are very modern and innovative and the book gives a lot of insight into the design and construction process. Backgrounds and reasoning on particular choices made and goes into detail on subjects such as lighting, plants and materials.I own quite a few garden design books and I would definately rate this the best I’ve seen and just about every design in his books I would rate amongst the best I’ve seen.
A more elegant modern This book is an excellent sourse of inspiration for the garden designer who is tired of traditional garden design. Jamie Durie explores new materials and plant selections in a way that is comfortable and exciting. A must read for those of us who are tired of English garden design!
a terrible disappointment I’ve bought that book ’cause I’m planning to transform a small corner of my garden into a nice patio. But this book is about balconies, sky gardens, decks, pools, back yards, seaside retreats, etc…Nothing about patios!!! If you’re looking for ideas for your patio, this probably isn’t a good book for you.
