Build a beautiful custom patio or walkway with the step-by-step,
photo-illustrated guidance of BLACK+DECKER The Complete Guide to
Patios - 3rd Edition.
A patio is the hub and heart of any yard. It's the hard, flat,
well-drained surface where you can comfortably enjoy the sunshine, feel
a cool breeze, relax with a cold beverage, or hang around the barbecue
with your friends and family.
Luckily, patios are relatively easy to design and install yourself, and
don't require a lot of expensive tools and complicated techniques.
BLACK+DECKER The Complete Guide to Patios - 3rd Edition guides the way
with easy-to-follow instructions to plan and complete virtually any
patio or walkway undertaking you can think of.
An extensive materials and design section helps you wrap your head
around all the upfront planning, and the 30+ patio, walkway, and
landscape projects are illustrated with detailed photographs to guide
your progress.
From flagstone to interlocking pavers or plain gravel, all options are
covered, as well as design tips, excavation advice, how to
install a subbase, and how to install the most popular surfacing
products.
You'll also find a substantial section on earth-friendly patios that
make use of recycled materials and keep water runoff to a minimum,
conserving resources and removing pressure from our water-treatment
facilities.
