Description

For gardeners and backyard do-it-yourselfers, concrete is a revelation. It's durable, weatherproof, impossible to steal, and it provides much-needed insulation for outdoor plants. Concrete weathers beautifully, softening around the edges, developing moss, and becoming more picturesque with age.Concrete Garden Projects takes advantage of concrete's numerous assets, showcasing an inspiring array of creative options. The step-by-step instructions for dozens of easy, do-it-yourself décor ideas include containers of all shapes and sizes, elegant benches and stools, miniature ponds and birdbaths, stepping stones, a barbecue, and a fire pit. The authors use a variety of molds easily found or made, household items like bowls and baking pans, and simple wooden frames and boxes. At pennies per pound, and so simple to use—just mix with water and pour—concrete is the key to hand-crafted backyard décor. Read more

  • Lots of ideas
Great book. Lots of different ideas for concrete projects in the garden. Do-able by most everyone.

  • Fun Coming Your Way
I selected this book because a few years ago my friend and I made a project from the internet to create beautiful concrete bird baths from rhubarb leaves. It was fun, relatively easy and quite rewarding when complete. This book offers a myriad of similar fun, easy projects and so now my friends and I will have even more projects to try. I read through the book and with my prior limited experience I understood all of the directions. They are clear and concise and seem to include all the steps to complete the project for a rewarding outcome. If you've never tried making items from concrete and you are even a bit crafty, you'll have fun. I also envision it as a good catalyst to do parent -child projects or grandparent- grandchild projects. Nice, wholesome, meaningful memories! ... show more

  • This is a "must have" for concrete projects!!!!
I love this book!! If you want to make garden deco out of concrete, I highly recommend it. It has fabulous ideas, and tells you how to do the projects, providing directions that are easy to follow. Likewise, it encourages your creative side, so that you can come up with your own molds and creations. If you are serious about concrete projects, this is a must have. ... show more

  • Concrete Garden Projects: Easy and Inexpensive Containers, Furniture, Water Features and More
I first learned of "Concrete Garden Projects: Easy and Inexpensive Containers, Furniture, Water Features and More" from an issue of "Better Homes and Garden" magazine. The book promises much, but falls short on basic information. For example, the "recipe" for concrete for the projects is limited to pre-mixed concrete. There is little information on finishing the projects, coloring concrete, polishing or achieving special effects. The gallery pictures are inspiring, but the text left me needing to find more in depth sources. ... show more

  • simple projects, clear photos, clear instructions, confusing layout and arrangement
The best thing about this book are the beautifully staged, clear pictures though i wish the making instructions would have been inline with the photo gallery more like a chapter title then a gallery section and an instruction section because the momentum gets lost on the excitement of finding the thing you want to make and looking at how to make it..flipping back and forth between the how to and the photos where one left off just doesn't help. The front of the book has large photos of each project with an unnecessary fluffy discription as if the book was trying to be a coffee table book then referencing the page in the back where there are smaller clear photos of steps to take to make each item showcased earlier, the actual reason someone buys a book like this. The projects are relatively simple and clearly explained and there is enough variety to get ideas on things one could do with the knowledge gained from the book. However, I feel like the book was stretched out a bit longer then necessary. Fir example, the author found several different silicone molds and showcased each one for a specific project in the book instead of just having a section on what one can do with found silicone molds. The author also had multiple angels and how to create them. This is fine, people may want a few different ways to make their favorite subject matter adorn their garden.. but earlier in the book it showed how to press a leaf into the cement. Honestly this isnt much different then pressing a metal angel into the cement. So i think my criticism is in the editing, layout, and contextual arrangement of the book and in no way about the beautiful photography or the clear instructions. ... show more

  • Fun with concrete, in the yard
I have looked at several library books on the topic and was looking for one book to buy so I could succeed at playing with concrete and making stuff for the yard. It is just the right length, well written, nicely illustrated, just enough options to try. Looking forward to giving things a try.

  • Very satisfied customer
I have to say that this is a very good book for the beginner who wants to start working with concrete. It was simple to understand and I had fun doing many of the projects. I am looking forward to some bigger projects in hypertufa and have enjoyed making large leaf bird baths.
