About this title

Reviews

Few features are as alluring to contemplate or as tricky to work with as water, yet with sensible, down-to-earth advice and judicious planning, the kind expertly provided by Rees and Sutherland, almost anyone will be able to make their garden a showcase for water's beauty. Starting with primary considerations such as siting and style, plants and pumps, the authors offer a commonsense approach to a complex subject. In straightforward language, they present the salient facts, logically and clearly: where to begin, what materials and plants to buy, how to install equipment, what design pitfalls to avoid. Flawless, close-up photography further clarifies essential points, leaving nothing to chance: what the inside of a water filter looks like, for instance, or how to plant oxygenators. Indeed, the authors excel at covering important details that other guides often overlook. Photos of unique 3-D scale models illustrate key design points in ways that make difficult topics, such as positioning and access, immediately understandable. For the intrepid do-it-yourselfer, this comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide practically guarantees professional results. Carol Haggas
