Home owners who are fed up with large lawns and high-upkeep lookalike landscaping will discover in this book how to make the most of their property's natural potential. They will learn how to work in harmony with nature to achieve a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape that will be a continuing pleasure for all. The author explains how to determine which of your land's natural features - established plants, meadows, swampy areas, large rocks, etc. - should be left as is, altered slightly, or removed. He suggests a wide array of minimum-maintenance plants, ranging from trees for dry soils to groundcovers for shady spots. He discusses where and why to use cultivated plants and flowers as well as wildflowers, and what to plant or leave in place to encourage birds and other wild animals. Also addressed are pools, fish and water plants, rocks and rock gardens, garden paths and play areas, and what to do about pests and predatory animals.
