i LOVE this book! As someone who landscapes using California native plants, I do a lot of natural stonework for a wide variety of clients and this book is one of my favorites. The layout makes it easy to refer back to a particular photo or section and the book is chuck full of excellent examples of top-quality stonework. The photos give me many ideas – particularly for choosing the right style for a job, but also for the finishing details [something I never used to bother with, but it really makes all the difference in the world for most folks]. I strongly recommend this book for anyone about to embark on getting someone to design/install stone patios, walls, walkways, etc… as well as a great source of re-inspiration for the stonework professional.
DVD is Missing This is a wonderful book with dozens of gorgeous shots of California style patios. My husband and I checked it out from the library, then decided to buy a copy when we saw several design elements we wanted to try in our backyard. However, the library copy had an interactive DVD you could load on your computer to help in your design. The copy we had bought from Amazon is missing the DVD, even though it advertised on the book cover. We love the book, but really wanted the DVD. Amazon, is there a DVD available?
This book is fulll of goods ideas and photos. We used it extensively and found it most helpful in our patio planning.
