Step-by-Step Outdoor Stonework: Over Twenty Easy-to-Build Projects for Your Patio and Garden

Product Description: About this no-nonsense introduction to stonework, well let one of the books reviewers speak for us. The following is from National Gardening magazine. Most of the handful of books on garden stonework are fairly long on romance and a little short on the mundane details. Step-by-Step Outdoor Stonework, however, gets right down to describing 20 fairly simple garden projects, mostly made with stone that is for sale in any stoneyard, or even at a large garden center. If garden stonework appeals to you, this is a good introduction with projects and guidelines for the small modern garden.
