Perfect book! June 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If a person were limited to only one book of this type, "California Home Landscaping" would be my choice. Twenty-four different landscaping situations are presented in detail with variations and the plants illustrated are identified by name. The mid-section of the book discusses hardscaping,water delivery and basic care of plants and the last section contains plant profiles with color photographs. All in all, a great resource!
Plant By Numbers! May 8, 2008
For us gardeners who are designed-challenged, this book is the cure for our artistic inabilities. I tend to plant in straight rows, with no conception of color coordination or eye-pleasing placement of plants. California Home Landscaping is filled with easy-to-follow "garden planting maps": the right plants, the right spacing, the right shape! One great section offers designs for a very common hard-to-plant area... curbside strips. This zone between the street and the sidewalk doesn't have to be a rectangle of beat-up lawn. California Home Landscaping has suggestions for beautiful yet tough plants that can fill this difficult part of the yard. And if deer are a problem in your area, this book has a great picture and plan of an unobtrusive fence that is only five feet high, yet keeps the deer out.
Visually very interesting. February 8, 2008

For anyone who is planning some garden design, this is a great book. Wonderful photography and display of before and after pictures. A very good quality book for the price.

This is a terrific book. I already had many assorted Sunset books and others, but still needed help! This this one is full of many useful ideas.
