Hardscaping

Hardscaping: How to use structures, pathways, patios & ornaments in your garden (2006)

by Keith Davitt

The author's thesis is that hardscaping lends shape, dimension, balance, and focus to outdoor areas.

Contains numerous color photos. Of particular interest are the case studies with before and after shots that demonstrate the difference that hardscaping makes.

The chapters are:

Structure & Balance
Structure for Dimension
Structure for Instilling Motion
Structure for Delineating Space
Structure for Creating Focal Points
Structure for Creating Privacy
Structure for Outdoor Living
Structure for Ornamentation

Yet another excellent book on landscaping. And probably one I should buy instead of just reading the library copy.
