The topics covered include stamping your own personality on a garden, weed clearing, soil renovation, laying a new lawn, planting trees, cutting back overgrown shrubs, dealing with tree stumps and stubborn weeds and patchy lawns, disguising fences and other eyesores, and renovating rock gardens, pools and ponds, and pergolas.
