Landscaping with Stone

Landscaping with Stone: Natural-looking paths, steps, walls, water features, and rock gardens (2006) by Jeanne Huber

Includes lots of diagrams and color photographs.

Covers paths in a lot of detail: stepping stone, flagstone, fieldstone, cut stone, cobblestone, etc.

I particularly enjoyed the section on boulders and "character stones."

Good advice on building rock gardens and walls.

Interesting section on ponds and pools.
