Stonework for the Garden (Step-by-step Practical Guides)

by Alan Bridgewater (Author), Gill Bridgewater (Author)

Synopsis

Stone in all its many forms is both functional and decorative. Dry-stone walls can bring an air of the country to any city garden while sundials and hand-built benches add character to a variety of outside spaces. With this in mind Stonework for the Garden presents 16 original projects, ranging from traditional flagstone steps to a tranquil Japanese garden. Materials used include limestone, slate, wood and reconstituted stone.Each has been photographed step-by-step during construction and the finished piece is shown in its garden setting. Clear construction diagrams and concise text accompany every project. With expert advice and information on designing and planning, tools, materials and techniques, this is both an attractive and accessible practical DIY book.
