My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Garden design books?

16 years ago

I was wondering if someone can point me to a decent garden design book or web resources that would show me how to layout a garden and talk about design principles. Many garden books talk about the plants and soil and other technical aspect, but I am interested in the design aspect.
