Landscaping Makes Cents: Smart Investments that Increase Your Property Value

A complete guide to adding substantial value and beauty to a home through careful landscape design. The promotional materials that came with this book said, “Surprisingly, money DOES grow on trees!” I’ve seen a lot of gardening how-to books over the years, and this is one of the first to approach the topic not only from an aesthetic or problem solving point of view, but also from an economic one. The book was interesting and eye-opening and it will certainly be helpful to landscapers, architects, and, most specifically, homeowners. It is well thought out, clearly illustrated, and easy to follow; the information will help people to avoid common errors while giving them ideas for how to landscape with an eye to increasing value.
