The area around your home is your haven, your sanctuary, your refuge from the noise and irritation of traffic, eyesores, and nosy neighbors. Or at least it could be if there was some sort of barrier between your front yard and the sidewalk, or if you didn't have to stare at the back of the neighbors' garage when you want to relax on your patio.

Landscaping for Privacy brims with creative ideas for minimizing or even eliminating the nuisances that intrude on your personal outdoor space. Scores of real-world examples show you how to keep the outside world at bay by strategically placing buffers (such as berms or groups of small trees), barriers (such as fences), and screens (arbors or hedges, for example) around your property. And the helpful plant lists tell you precisely which varieties to choose in order to enhance your sense of seclusion.

If you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of privacy whenever you step outside your home, this inspiring book will steer you toward an achievable solution.

Small yards often pose large problems for home gardeners. Adding too many plants and other elements leads to a crowded, chaotic look, but it is also easy to plan for too little, which can make even a small space seem sparse and under-planted.

Landscaping Solutions for Small Spaces provides detailed designs for common garden situations. Each design features both “hardscaping” and landscaping ideas, including detailed plans that show the number and types of plants for each design. Plant recommendations cover all hardiness zones. Some designs address problems with the site, such as a small front yard or a sloping yard; others deal with requirements imposed by the gardener, such as a garden that requires a minimal amount of maintenance or one that will be enjoyed mainly at night. In addition to the designs themselves, a building-techniques section helps turn the plans into reality.

- 10 custom designs for small gardens, each addressing a specific gardening problem
- Detailed planting schemes that make the most of gardening space
- Hardscaping solutions to hide ugly views, deal with sloping lots, create outdoor living areas, and more
- Plant recommendations for all regions of the country
- Planting and building techniques to help make the designs a reality

Stonescaping is one of today's most popular outdoor landscaping design trends. Homeowners can find a one-stop combined landscape design and project book with Landscaping with Stone, 2nd Edition, updated with all new photographs. The first section provides readers with a framework for incorporating stone in their yard designs, including a look at the different types of stone used in landscapes, sources of inspiration, and ways to think about stone in relation to other outdoor elements. The second part of the book provides readers with tips on working with stone, from transporting to cutting and setting.

 - Resource guide, index, and glossary

Abstraction and hedge, interaction and landmark, labyrinth and synthesis, pond and utopia — the reader is confronted with a tremendous variety of terms, from the description of the various elements of a garden all the way to theoretical, historical, symbolic, and iconographic aspects of landscape design. Meto J. Vroom, a former professor of landscape architecture at Universität Wageningen, defines and analyzes more than 250 terms, concepts, and objects. While the definitions convey the universally recognized meaning of the headwords, each essay briefly outlines a subject with a critical commentary and numerous commendations for further reading.

Thus the lexicon serves to clarify important terms and expressions that designers use on a daily basis. More than that, however, it also constitutes a general introduction to the major themes of landscape design.

Beautiful, eye-catching photography by Jan Verlinde link the past with the present in this stunning book. The noblest of building traditions are bonded with a modern wat of living, working and relaxing. Lifestyle author Ivo Pauwels, in his familiar, fascinating style, takes the reader back to the past. He brings the memories of the centuries-old building techniques and the forgotten knowledge of the materials used in roof trusses, tiles and thatched roofs.

Lifelong landscape design means thinking about more than your garden. It involves encouraging your community to be a well-rooted environment consisting of friends who share home-grown produce, walk in the neighborhood, recycle, water harvest, compost and are watchful of each other’s well-being.

Lifelong landscape designs create environments that connect with nature, encompass a home, and promote healthy living by providing mobility, social interaction, and places to sustain the body and soul. Learn easy steps to design your own lifelong landscape through more than 200 landscape patterns and activities that illustrate components of healthy living. Enhance the quality of your life at any stage with practical advice from this inspirational landscape architect with more than 30 years experience.
