"Home Landscaping: California" is the fifth title in Creative Homeowner's amazingly successful Regional Home Landscaping series. In this book, readers will find ideas for making a California home landscape more attractive and functional. Created by landscape professionals in California, the book's 23 designs incorporate about 200 of the best plants for the specific region. Readers will find all they need to know about installing and caring for the plants, paths, fences, walls, and arbors that make up the designs. Like the other titles in the series, this book contains three parts: Design Portfolio, Guide to Installations, and Plant Portraits. Clearly written in a friendly style, it provides all readers need to know to landscape like a pro.
This is great, it has lots of designs to cover specific areas of your yard, like a sunny corner or a shady walkway or ideas for patios. I am using it to choose plants and arrangements in tandem with the organization plans from Garden Design Made Easy.
