Average Customer Ratings:
Stonework gives a yard a sense of permanence and distinction. Authors Alan and Gill Bridgewater show readers how to bring the beauty of stone into their gardens with simple but elegant natural features, unique walls, attractive paving, and much more.
Outdoor Stonework is a complete primer on working with stone, including choosing materials, safety considerations, and cutting and fitting techniques. The 16 original stone projects include flagstone steps, retaining walls, a cantilevered seat-shelf, a garden table, a Zen-type stone garden, and more.
Photographed in its garden setting, each project features step-by-step construction methods. Instructions include supply lists, estimates of time for completion, safety tips, and helpful hints from the experts. The clear construction diagrams, cross-section drawings, and concise text make stonework fun and satisfying for do-it-yourselfers of all levels.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A Delightfully Educational Book! -
The easy-to-do stonework projects and the easy-to-understand instructions in this book make it a 'must have' for gardeners who want to do their own stonework originals.
Anna Marie Fritz, author of "Funny Feline Fotos" and other amazon books.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
insulting search inside feature -
The Search Inside feature for this book doesn't even show the COVERS OF THE BOOK.
This is insulting. I wouldn't even consider buying a book whose author had this philosophy.
Amazon: Why even have the Search Inside feature?
Easy projects with easy instruction! -
I have been wanting to create many stone projects and this book helps with selection and ease of doing it yourself with a fabulous look!
Good beginner book! -
Good beginner book for breaking into this type of homemade garden crafting. An excellent purchase for those interested in this creative art form.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
I can do that! -
If beautifying your world with stone and concrete is your goal, this book is a must.
The author did a fine job of eliciting interest in a project by showing wonderful color photos of the finished product first. Then he supplies photos and diagrams of each step while describing it in down-to-earth fashion. He adds some photos of historical works to show what can be done and how long a quality job can last.
I particularly enjoyed the descriptions of building a winding path. Mr. Bridgewater showed each layer of the walk, how to install that layer (tamper, rake, shovel, hose...) and feel that I really could create a viable path for my own home.
The only nit I have to pick was his measurements for the Japanese lantern's components. Although I could figure it out, he was inconsistent in indicating whether a dimension was length, width, or height.
Overall, I would purchase this book again.
