Working with Natural Stone in Garden and Landscape Design
Ingrid Schegk
This book presents natural stone as a construction material, including the different kinds of stone and their characteristics.
You’ll find detailed information on processing and working with the stone, and the kinds of structures that can be built in the garden and landscape design industry – paving, steps, stairs and walls.
The book draws your attention to important technical guidelines, and examples are given to illustrate these. Traditional techniques such as dry-stone wall construction are described, along with contemporary trends.
