Whether used as a natural ornamental feature, or cut and dressed to make walls, paving, and terraces, stone acts as the "bones" of a garden, giving it an atmosphere for permanence and time-worn distinction. Stonescaping shows readers how to apply Asian, European, and contemporary design approaches at home, using stone features to solve common site problems and beautify their gardens. Chapters on building walls, paths, terraces, stone-rimmed ponds, rockeries, and troughs provide step-by-step instructions for creating these and other design features using basic hand tools. In addition to its practical and detailed directions for selecting, finding, and working stone into a number of traditional and modern garden styles, including: An herb garden, a cottage garden, a large formal garden, a romantic garden, a wildlife-attracting garden, low-maintenance gardens, small urban spaces, a garden renovation. Many of these plans also feature "pocket garden" variations, designed especially for the home gardener who wants to make a big impact in a limited amount of space.
