Dalla quarta di copertina:

LANDSCAPE TO INFORM AND INSPIRE Every homeowner has a landscape. Large or small, wooded or sparse, classic country vista or modern urban xeriscape, the space outside your home can either complement or contradict your sense of style and design. That’s where Landscape Ideas You Can Use comes in—much more than a pretty book of dreamy landscapes, it is a book of common sense combined with creative know-how to arm you with everything you need to envision and embrace new ideas and techniques for your specific home environment. With one eye on your yard and the other on this book, you’ll need to answer a few questions about the how’s and why’s of landscape renovation (and innovation, too). How would you characterize your landscape? Are natural embellishments like trees, flowers, and bushes needed most, or will a simple accessory tie it all together? Is it lighting you need to show off your deck or pool, or rather a simple hardscape path to lead one to them? Most importantly, what do you want your landscape to accomplish? It’s not merely an extension of your yard—it’s an extension of your lifestyle. Loaded with inspiring photos and instructive captions, Landscape Ideas You Can Use is the first and last word in modern landscape design. No matter your type or size of yard, you’re sure to find something useful inside. Explicitly detailed and beautifully showcased, these are the ideas that can elevate your landscape from average to extraordinary.
