Synopsis

Home Landscaping: Northwest Region joins Creative Homeowner's consistently popular Regional Home Landscaping series as the sixth title. Readers will applaud this book's attractive yet practical designs. Using about 200 plants that thrive in the region, landscape professionals from the northwestern states created 40 plans for all areas around the home. In addition to giving information about caring for the specific plants in each design, the book also instructs readers on installing the featured paths, fences, walls, and arbors. Like the other titles in the series, this book contains three parts: Design Portfolio, Guide to Installations, and Plant Portraits. Clearly written in a friendly style, it provides the information readers need to know to landscape like a pro.
