Practical guidance for shaping a garden

Rupert Keys’s guide spans projects at different scales, from adding wire supports for climbing plants and drainage to upcycled containers to planning paths, seating areas and pergolas. It also covers materials and techniques for features such as composite decking, porcelain paving and a solar-powered water rill. Step-by-step photography and illustrations support the practical focus, while examples including a compost bay made from timber offcuts and a sunken dining area connect garden design with hands-on construction. The book frames DIY landscaping as a way to develop a space while keeping costs in mind.
