Stonescaping This was a gift for a family member who bought a house in a desert area. Although many of their neighbors had a lawn, water is very expensive, and they wanted to try something else. They're very happy with the book, and intend to implement some of the ideas.
As always, Taunton press has turned out a very helpful 'idea book'.
Gift I got this book for my husband, who enjoys landscapping with stone. He really enjoys it, and got a lot of ideas from it.
" A WONDERFUL STONE MASONRY BOOK" This is a book I refer to over and over again, not only for tips I may have missed on stonescaping, but just for the sheer pleasure of looking at the gorgeous photos that appear throughout.

lots of great stonescaping ideas! I needed ideas for myself as well as my job as a landscape designer. This book is super.
Stonescaping Ideas This book has color pictures on almost every page with almost every type of stonework imaginable. If you need ideas or just pictures of different types of stonework, this book should cover that information. Topics covered include paths and steps, terraces, patios, garden spaces, poolside spaces, dry and mortared stone walls, benches, landscaping features, sculptures, pools, ponds, streams and waterfalls, water fountains, entryways, driveways, and borders. A nice book to own for creating an abundance of ideas, however, this is not the book you want if you are looking for step by step do it yourself instructions.
