Product Description
The simple brick is a universal building material that can be used in a variety of ways to create stunning effects. Used in the garden, brickwork can take the form of anything from a functional pathway to a decorative feature wall and can dramatically alter the design and visual impact of an outdoor space. A pair of simple gateway columns welcomes visitors while a brick-edged pond provides a place for contemplation. While some structures have a clear function, it is vital that they are also visually pleasing and decorative. With this in mind "Brickwork for the Garden" presents 16 original projects, ranging from a simple garden wall to a beautiful raised herringbone patio.Each has been photographed step-by-step during construction and the finished piece is shown in its garden setting. Clear construction diagrams and concise text accompany every project. A comprehensive techniques section provides expert advice and information on designing, planning, tools, materials, foundations, concrete, mortar and cutting and laying brick. This is both an attractive and accessible practical DIY book.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
If you adhere to building the projects which are shown in the book then you will be left in no doubt as to what you have to do to build the projects: all the photographs are in high quality colour and 'exploded' views of each project are clearly shown. Truly, a tribute to the authors and publishers.
Brickwork for the Garden
I enjoyed the book as it gives you the the basic step by step and gives you things to try.
