I think the book is a little long-winded where simple explanations would do. Some things were not related to sustainability (like how to make a retaining wall) but just general landscaping.

It covers the basics quite well but tries to oversell some aspects. For example not using concrete etc and trying too hard to save transportation energy.

I recently bought this book in preparation for a number of landscaping projects around the house this spring and summer. I’ve found the guide to be extremely thorough and helpful. It has shown me how to take small steps that add up to making my yard more sustainable and healthy for the family. Included are a number of ready-to-be-implmented, professional quality landscape plans.
