Really great ideas for your patio makeover

Great photography and easy to use book with very good ideas. We used this book to install our own brick paver patio and have been using the patio for 1.5 years. Big, easy to use, detailed instructions. This book would make a great gift.

Makeover Your Patio

This guide, with instructions fully illustrated in color, will give you many ideas about how to plan the right patio, whether you build it yourself or hire a contractor to do the work. It could even be useful for ideas about adding plantings and minor improvements to existing patios." (summary by South TX Library System) If you want to build a retaining wall or add water features, this book will get you started. Make your patio area a welcoming space that gets your family outdoors more. Don't spend your summer trapped inside the house with the air conditioning and TV.
