This title helps to plan out your garden to create interest, with gravel paving, fencing, decking and rock gardens. It shows you how to mix and lay concrete, how to build walls, lay paving, erect fencing, construct a variety of structures from wood, and make a water feature. It offers all the information you need to design and construct custom-built paths to suit your garden. It explains how to fix expanding trellis or plastic mesh to a wall or fence to support climbing plants. It describes types of fences, from ready-made panels and posts, to rustic poles to make open-frame structures such as pergolas and trellises and arches. If you plan your fences, boundaries and paths in your garden, and actually build them all yourself, you will gain an enormous sense of achievement. And, as you go along, you will be able to decide what to plant in every aspect of the plot. This useful book deals with practical features such as paving, fencing and walls and everything you need to know about building them.
