This volume is a guide to all the basics of landscaping, from assessing the property to choosing plants -- projects, plant lists, sample plans, irrigation and much more. The author provides every crucial step in designing and implementing a landscape plan: from assessing specific needs and planning a budget and time line, to making the best choices for a successful garden. She describes 200 of her favorite plants, shrubs and trees and includes a new chapter on low-maintenance and self-reliant gardening that helps the home gardener get the most out of the space with the least amount of work. This work also includes: 25 fully illustrated step-by-step projects; a property assessment survey, budget questionnaire and sample four-year plan; hardscaping: ideas for steps, sidewalks, fences and lighting; softscaping: working with plants, shrubs, trees and lawns; techniques for planting, irrigating and fertilizing plants and controlling pests; a list of tools that every gardener needs; and plans for a low-maintenance garden -- and much more.
