Editorial Reviews
The Introduction; Jeffrey Reid
"Adding a pond or waterfall to your landscape will be one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do. I fell in love with their significant beauty about twelve years ago and I've never looked back. Water features, many of which are in this book, have brought me so much personal joy and pleasure. Knowing the correct steps and using the right product for the job practically guarantees success. This book will show and tell you everything that you need. The methods shown in these chapters are proven and have been taught to thousands of do-it-yourselfers."
Allan Sperling, Director, National Pond Society & Owner, Pondscapes magazine
"How to Build Ponds and Waterfalls is a great book for those about to build their first water garden. The chapter on waterfall building is the best I have ever seen."
Kenny Holt, Owner, Bayhill Waterscape Supply
"How to Build Ponds and Waterfalls is the book the industry has been waiting for. This is exactly what the consumer wants. I received a sample copy [at] 10:00 am...at 1:00 pm that same day I placed an order for 1,000 copies to be delivered immediately."
Customer Reviews
Only pictures
If you are a beginer in pond building and you need everything explained to details, do not buy this book. I bought it and it's just not good. You can read it under a hour and you'll see only pictures with nothing on them.
Excellent Book!
How to Build Ponds and Waterfalls : The Complete Guide by Jeffrey Reid is an excellent how-to book for wildlife garders.
Not a complete guide
This is mostly a picture book with very little detail. I read it in under an hour and still had no idea about issues like electrical, pump size, and caluculating flow for a waterfall. If I was in a brick and mortar store, I would have never bought this title. Instead, I have found a lot of use out of "Ortho's All about Garden Pools and Fountains".
