Affordable Landscaping - Softcover

This book walks you through the entire landscaping process, from mapping your yard to setting up the lawn furniture, and it helps you do all this economically. Affordable Landscaping tells you everything you need to know to plan a landscape that fits your yard, your family's needs, and your budget. The information in this book can save you thousands of dollars by showing you how to do your own landscaping -- grading the land, installing an irrigation system, drain lines, and retaining walls, and selecting and planting everything from trees to lawns. Do-it-yourself instructions include how to pour concrete, lay brick in sand, and build simple fences and decks. Money-saving tips abound -- raising your own plants, salvaging material, even how to bargain with the nursery sales staff.
