The right kind of stone and how you incorporate it in your landscape and
garden can make all the difference. Stone, a broad term that includes
pavers, fieldstones, bricks, rocks and boulders, and stone veneer, can
be used to create a distinct yet practical component to any yard. And
with the variety of natural and manufactured stone products widely
available today, incorporating stone in the landscape is no longer out
of reach.
Stonescaping Idea Book showcases a wide range of inspiring and practical
ideas for using stone in all types of landscape settings and for all
budgets and regions of the country. Along with tried-and-true designs
for inviting walkways and beautiful walls, new ways of using stone in
gardens and patio spaces are also presented. You'll discover ideas for
creating graceful streams, waterfalls, or even simple fountains that
will help transform your backyard into a private retreat. And you'll
find a wide range of outdoor living spaces that family and friends can
enjoy for years to come. As the examples in the book demonstrate, there
is a world of stone to explore; this book will help get you started on
the right path.
