Beautiful New Book of the Best Designs November 9, 2006
John Matlock (Winnemucca, NV)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This spectactularly illustrated book show the best of what is being done in landscaping today. It features the work of some 30 landscape designing firms from around the country. All areas of the country are represented from the desert southwest of Arizona and Nevada to the harsh climate of Alaska, where the featured designers have spent a quarter century selecting and developing plants that will thrive in that area. It includes formal gardens and designs where the ocean comes right up to the patio. Water is used in other designs as well from designs where the infinity edged pool leads the eye to the skyline of the city beyond, or where a lazy, slow moving river provides an ever changing view.
This is primarily an idea book where the designs photographed here can be used to give you ideas of what you want in your design. Secondarily it provides a guide to selected landscape architects and an illustration of the work they are capable of doing. Perhaps you'll select one of these 'artists,' but if not, you'll have something by which to compare the work of the firm you select.
This book is beautifully printed, using beautiful photographs and bound to hast a lifetime.
