LANDSCAPING FOR BEGINNERS: THE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO CREATE A PERFECT OUTDOORSPACE. PLAN & PLANT THE GARDEN, DESIGN THE PATIO AND BUILD YOUR FAVORITE WALKWAYS, WALLS AND FOUNTAINS.

I could barely get past the first page of this book due to awful grammar and nonsensical content. Run-on sentences, random capitalization mid-sentence, and poor use of punctuation abound. This book clearly was not proofread or edited in any way. It reads like a middle schooler's research paper, or something poorly translated from another language. Flipping through at a glance gave me the gems in the attached photos. It might be a passable read if you get it as a freebie on kindle, but I wouldn't waste a penny on this garbage. I returned it the next day.

As a new homeowner, I now have a big yard and I do not know what to do with it. This book looks at so many garden examples and has the plants numbered in the photos so that I can jot those names down and go to the nursery. The book then also looks at decks, paths, fountains, etc. I found that awesome. I thought landscaping was just the plants. I had no idea the authors would cover all this other stuff too. I definitely have so many ideas now that I cannot wait to implement.

The book is rather thin with a large font and black and white pictures (no color pictures). The paragraphs are short and poorly written. For example, on page 154, under a black & white photo, the following is written: "The modern marvel style of the pond is a nice style of a pond too. It is simply because of the marvels at the pond, but it has a nice style." So the modern marvel...never mind.

Landscaping is such a high selling point in real estate. With just a few small improvements, the value in your home can jump up significantly if it has curb appeal.

If you own your home, then you'll be able to make a lot more of the changes that you'd like to in your yard.
