This book presents more than 20 projects to transform any garden into an easily-maintained, stylish and inviting outdoor living area. Many of these projects have been specially designed to be completed in a single weekend. Other more ambitious schemes can be planned and executed over a series of weekends. The introduction to the book, setting out the variety and nature of the projects and the techniques and materials included, is illustrated by a wide range of colour photographs as a source of inspirational design ideas. Step-by-step colour photographs, accompanying instructions and diagrams take the novice at an easy pace through each stage of preparation and construction of the following features: a pond (including "accessories"); small swimming pool; a free-standing planter and a combination wall/planter; garden furniture; barbecue; garden steps and stairways; pillars and piers; arches; a pre-cast concrete paved patio; curved, cobbled and crazy-paved paths; driveways; screen brick and block walls including adaptation to construct a car port; retaining walls and wall finishes; a garage; and garden tidies including a compost bin and garbage bin surround.
