Start right with this book.

The key to any patio or landscape project is the foundation. This book elaborates this by showing detail in the starting point of projects. I found it invaluable during my summer landscape and patio projects. Worth every penny.

Very, Very good all around projects book!

I give this book FIVE stars because of the several I have purchased since buying my house, this is the most comprehensive and user friendly. A great blend of general knowledge and specific techniques, and even building plans. It's packed with helpful drawings, photos and descriptions that can help even the novice complete complex-sounding projects. From planning your overall landscape to actually building walkways, patios, decks, sheds,gazebos, walls, and fences. Start with this all-around guide and then maybe get another book that pinpoints your project, and you're all set.
