The book was very nice with lots of plans but the cover had about a 3″ cut from what looked like a utility knife.

This book is a must have for anyone doing either a small landscaping job or an extensive one. It is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Anyone who loves to garden but who has no idea how to start will love this book. The photographs are incredible, the designs are easy to understand and its written in clear and concise terms for the novice gardner to understand and learn from.

This book was a real disappointment for me. If you are from the south and are familiar with what can be grown in your area, then this is a great idea book. However, if you have recently moved into the Southeast, then you need to know the zones for all the plants you are considering throwing your money into. Landscaping is not cheap. The authors went to the trouble to introduce the reader to the USDA hardiness zones in the “About this Book” section, and then proceeded to leave us in the dark about the zone recommendations for over 95% of the suggested plants. Looking them all up will be very time consuming and should not have been left to the reader!
Stunning ideas 5 points. Lack of USDA zone info 1 point. Average total 3 points.

This book has great pictures, design layouts and recommended plants to use together. I refer to it often.
