I found this book to be less than informative, and very vague when it came to waterfalls. With regard to a pond it was very good, but fell very short of how to design, install, and maitain a waterfall. In fact the waterfall information was on about 4 pages total. Not worth the purchase.
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.
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.
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.
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.
