Overview

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
A garden designer describes the creative and practical aspects of garden rock work, from choosing stone that is sympathetic to a property and creating inspired scenes with it to moving heavy stone without hurting oneself. Superb color photographs and detailed pen- and-ink drawings illustrate modest, fanciful, and grand uses for various materials. Also covers practicalities such as choosing a stone mason and calculating amounts of stone. Especially useful is a visual index of 53 widely-available varieties of stone. Annotation c.
