Deckscaping Book

Deckscaping: Gardening and Landscaping On and Around Your Deck

by Barbara W. Ellis
(Storey Books, softcover)

You've seen them all over the suburbs, maybe even in your own backyard: a plain, boxy square of a deck--unadorned, uninviting, and probably unused. This handy book sets out to change all that with an array of ideas to make your deck an attractive and alluring outdoor room.

You'll find ideas and advice on container gardening on your deck or landscaping around it, as well as attractive problem solvers, like providing shade or privacy with arbors and trellises, and advice on choosing suitable deck furniture.
