Hardscaping

How to Use Structures, Pathways, Patios and Ornaments in Your Garden
by Keith Davitt

The flowers are blossoming, the foliage looks fantastic, and the plant combinations are gorgeous. So why doesn’t your garden satisfy?

To be more than just an arrangement of plants, a garden needs good hardscaping, that part of the space that is built, such as paths, walls, arbors, and ornaments. Keith Davitt’s book is the best treatise on the subject, with an innovative format. Each chapter is organized around a design principle, such as creating balance or establishing focal points, with photographs that illustrate the point perfectly. A top garden designer, Davitt offers illuminating discussions of style, function, application, and plantings, as well as magnificent projects. Bring fresh life to a garden with a curvaceous patio with a rill, a sculpture plinth on a terraced platform, or a Victorian “room.”

"This is a handsome guide that belongs in all landscaping collections. Highly recommended." —Library Journal
