Perhaps no feature of a garden or front lawn in more definitive than the boundary structure - the fences, walls, screens, retaining wall terraces. This book covers them all in exhaustive detail - picket fences, panel ones, split-rail fences, dry-fit stone garden walls, and includes the latest materials like PCV vinyl, polymer-coated, wrought-iron look-alikes, hardscape retaining wall terraces, and even an invisible electronic dog-fence! Special attention is given to decorative boundary walls for patios - the latest trend in today's cutting-edge landcape architecture, making this the most complete and modern book on fences and garden walls available.
