The Landscape Makeover Book: How to Bring New Life to an Old Yard
The median age of the American home is 30 years. Consequently, many homeowners do not enjoy a perfect yard: the landscape may be overgrown or in need of a facelift. Professional landscaper Sara Jane von Trapp comes to the rescue with an illustrated guide to revamping an old yard without spending a fortune. She covers both overall design possibilities and areas of concern -- entries, walkways, decks, lighting, plantings, and lawns -- with specific instructions, and also helps readers determine when professional help is needed.

Not my regular library book but I learned a lot! I am currently hyper-fixating on my yard and I want to make detailed plans for next summer. This gave me some great info for planning my landscaping based on the style of my home and neighborhood and my own personal preferences!

A good basic landscaping book. Very few original ideas, but definitely gives an idea where to start.
