The book will show you simple techniques that will enable you to design a deck that enhances your home and garden, looks great all year and suits your lifestyle needs.

You'll learn really simple techniques to make sure your new deck looks great with the rest of your garden, whether your garden is established or a completely blank canvas. These low cost solutions are highly effective and will help give your garden the 'WOW' factor. â€¨â€¨The book also includes landscaping design ideas for your entire garden, so you can improve more than just your deck.

The book is perfect for complete beginners and covers how to:â€¨
â€¢ avoid the most common deck design mistakesâ€¨
â€¢ choose the best location for your deckâ€¨ (it's not always right next to the house)
â€¢ plot your deck and garden onto paperâ€¨ (vital to get right when it comes to constructing your deck)
â€¢ properly plan your deck to get the right size, shape, and style of deck to suit your home.
â€¢ make the deck area look and feel longer or widerâ€¨ with some cunning design tricks
â€¢ design a deck that works well with the whole gardenâ€¨ as well as your home
â€¢ effectively tackle changes in levelâ€¨ in a safe and visually pleasing way
â€¢ design a beautiful garden on a budget
â€¢ â€¨make the most of the available space using simple design tricksâ€¨
â€¢ successfully incorporate built in planters, seating and lighting
â€¢ â€¨choose the right building materials from sustainable sourcesâ€¨
â€¢ double check you've got everything right before your deck is built
â€¢ â€¨choose the right professional to construct your deck

â€¨â€¨A little bit of time spent planning your deck is a very valuable investment. It takes as much time and money to build a poorly or non-planned deck as it does a well designed deck. The visual difference, though, is enormous. The book's main focus is on design and how to make your whole garden look great. It does include some basic construction information but this is not meant to be a DIY guide on deck building.â€¨â€¨

You don't need to be a great artist to design a great looking garden. The design tricks and techniques you'll learn in this book are simple yet highly effective.â€¨â€¨
