　　Developing your landscape is one of the pleasures of owning a

home. It's an opportunity to surround yourself with beauty and

provide for your comfort and convenience. In a well-designed yard,

kids have room to play and adults have an attractive area in which

to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Your guests find a safe,

welcoming path to the front door, and you don't have to struggle to

bring in the groceries and take out the trash. TAYLOR'S MASTER

GUIDE TO LANDSCAPING is a stunning and useful book on a subject

that even experienced gardeners find intimidating. It is essential

reading if you plan to do all or most of your own landscaping work,

but it's equally important if you intend to hire the work out.

Buchanan's de*ion of what to expect from landscape and

gardening professionals is an eye-opener that will save a lot of

disappointment and a great many dollars. In TAYLOR'S MASTER GUIDE

TO LANDSCAPING, you will learn how to - choose plants that will

thrive in your climate and growing conditions - avoid common

mistakes with foundation plantings - plan and plant for future

growth - create an outdoor living room - design and build walks,

paths, and steps - create privacy with fences, walls, and hedges.

Separate chapters explain how to care for landscape plants --

trees, shrubs, vines, lawns, groundcovers, and perennials.
