The most important step in preparing for a water feature in one’s yard is preparation. Therefore, I read this book and one other. This book was slightly more accessible, but definitely less authoritative, than the other one. Its chapter on waterfalls was helpful to orient me to the overall process required to build a small stream with a pump. It didn’t have a ton of obscure but invaluable “tricks of the trade” to help me, though. This book’s subtitle explained its purpose well: to explain everything “simply.”
It has some nice chapters on dealing with seasons and the inevitable repairs. The pictures are generally in greyscale – a significant limitation for this topic. Nonetheless, I feel better prepared to begin my venture of installing a water feature.
