So you want to design a historic landscape -- Landscapes of the Colonial period and New Republic (1620-1820) -- Landscapes of the early to mid-nineteenth century (1820-1860) -- American Victorian landscapes (1860-1900) -- Eclectic landscapes (1900-1930) -- Landscapes for modern homes (1930-1960) -- Suburban landscape to green revolution (1960-2000).

While there’s no shortage of information on restoring and maintaining the historical integrity of period homes, until now there has been no authoritative reference that provides comparable information for landscapes. American Home Landscapes is a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to recreating nearly 400 years of historical landscape design and adapting them to modern needs.
