Summary: 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'.

Summary: 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.
