4 Stars Creating Concrete Ornaments for the garden
Its a very good source for creating innovation in gardening

4 Stars Good for a beginner.
For one who wants to install their first, and likely only garden pool, this book is great. We installed a pond with a flexable liner, not the rigid type and we needed to know such things as what depth, why we needed to step the depth, type of materials, essentially all the things to do it ourselves. This book was very helpful in that regards. After four years, we are still happy we installed our pond.

4 Stars Not a bad buy.
For the low cost of the book I'd recommend it to any beginner or experienced person looking for ideas and inspiration on their next project.

5 Stars WORTH THE MONEY
THIS BOOK IS A GREAT GUIDE AND HELP IN HELPING YOU DESIGN,CONSTRUCT AND ENJOY A WATERFALL OR FOUNTAIN. IF I COULD INCLUDE THE PICTURES OF THE ONE I BUILT USING THIS BOOK AS A GUIDE I WOULD. YOU WONT REGRET THE PURCAHSE OF THIS GUIDE.

4 Stars A nice book with great pictures at a good price
Although this book is not as comprehensive as some of the other texts on water gardens, it has a wonderful assortment of pictures (which is always nice for "ideas"). The price was low-end and I think what is contained is reasonable for this smaller book.
