This book combines the principles of landscape design and concrete flagstone paving techniques for the first time, described here for both horticultural and landscaping applications.

No other building material is of such importance for paving outdoor surfaces throughout the world. Despite this, however, concrete flagstones have received virtually no attention in the professional literature. This book fills the gap, presenting for the first time a combination of the principles of landscape design and concrete flagstone paving techniques, described here for both horticultural and landscaping applications.

In addition to formal and informal design principles, colours, forms and proportions, the book contains information on technical requirements such as substrate, bedding and drainage, and gives helpful tips on materials for superstructures, together with lists of plants for planting in the gaps between the individual flagstones.

A completely up-to-date book for garden designers and landscape architects, students and trainees, and also landowners and home handymen.
