Stonescaping

A Guide To Using Stone in Your Garden

Jan Kowalczewski Whitner

Add Asian, European, and modern design approaches to your garden. Learn how to incorporate stone into paths, steps, walls, and ponds.

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 of permanence and time-worn distinction. Suggestions are offered on how to use stone features to solve common site problems and beautify gardens.

Stonescaping shows readers how to design with this material as a vital element. 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 with stone, Stonescaping explains how to incorporate the beauty and strength of 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, xeriscape gardens, small urban spaces, and garden renovations.
