    This is a very simplistic and basic book on landscaping with stones. When I say simplistic, it’s typical advice the guy down at Home Depot will provide. I picked this up, because I was beginning a stone pathway project, and thought it might come in handy.

    And it did. But not by much.

    I love the books that Sunset puts out and this one was certainly no disappointment! A simple to understand, beautifully illustrated volume that belongs in every gardener-mason-stonelover’s collection.

    Excellent Sunset guide and well written book with plenty of photos, tips, ideas and how-to indications to be crative and build your desired garden, paths, walls, etc… with stones. Ample information on how to build with stone: tips, instructions and sources for materials. A must have for a gardener.

    We landscaped our backyard last year complete with flagstone patio, gardens and a rock retaining wall. This book was straight forward and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
