Water Features (Soma Basics)

0.0

Getaways for physical and spiritual renewal don't have to involve distance or expense; they can happen right at home with a well-planned garden that utilizes water in a special way. Placing a pool, fountain, or stream in an existing outdoor environment can be daunting but need not involve massive cost or a complete redesign. In SOMA Basics: Water Features, David Stevens shows readers how to add striking water features to their yards -- from spouting shells to soothing ponds -- while keeping the mechanics invisible.Using the same colorful, compact format as SOMA Basics: Garden Design, this book covers style, structures, materials, and methods. Full-color photos, matched with professional plans and illustrations, go from concept to completion using the latest designs and technology.
