Nicely presented book with many clearly photographed patios, walkways and paths. All are very attractive and beautifully put together. All appear to be expensive and obviously created with the help of landscape designers and a lot of manpower. They are also created in areas with a climate allowing many varied plant types and sufficient water to create lush landscapes. I would have like to seen some more addressing of issues like problem areas and how they were solved. There is a preponderance of brick, concrete and flagstone paving. It would have been very nice to see more use of recycled or found items re-purposed as paving or steps.
