With the basics established, the authors introduce the many different types of patio and how they can be created, maintained and enhanced; from natural to brick patios, decking to split-level patios, furniture styles, planters, ornaments and lighting. Paths and steps are looked at in similar detail. Each subject is presented in a clear way with box features, lists and questions and answers.For both beginners and experienced DIY enthusiasts, this book will prove invaluable time and again, providing the reader with clear, concise, readily-accessible information. The key features include: new ideas for keen DIY-ers, capitalizing on the current popularity of improving gardening and outdoor spaces; ideal as a 'first book' for beginners to learn all the basics; and, an invaluable sourcebook of inspiration for more experienced DIY enthusiasts to refer to again and again.
