From the Back Cover
It will be the first book you'll want to own on stonescaping--a simple "learn-to-do-it-yourself" guide to projects anyone can handle with professional results. Whether on a simple rock-marked path or in a sturdy retaining wall, stonework provides lasting beauty. And working with stone can be easy! From creating the design to preparing the site to pouring concrete, this is the information you'll need to get started.
Reviews
The theme of stone in the garden has emerged as one of the most compelling current trends. A classic dry-stone retaining or boundary wall can extend for a mile and cost a small fortune to have built, but installing a basic flagstone path will doubtless be within the scope and ability of many readers. Raines provides valuable how-to advice aimed at creating a variety of paths, ponds, patios, and benches. With years of experience under his belt, Raines shares wise counsel on design, safety, tools, and stonework techniques, including more mortared and veneered walls and columns. Alice Joyce
