Overview

Midwest Home Landscaping: Practical Design for Four-Season Living is a comprehensive, down to earth guide designed specifically for homeowners who want beautiful, functional landscapes that thrive in the unique climate of the Midwest. With its distinct seasons, shifting weather patterns, and diverse soil conditions, Midwest landscaping requires thoughtful planning - and this book shows you exactly how to do it right. Beginning with a clear introduction to the Midwest landscape environment, the book helps readers understand climate factors, weather patterns, hardiness zones, soil types, and seasonal challenges that directly influence plant success. You'll learn how to work with nature rather than against it, turning local conditions into long-term advantages for your garden and outdoor spaces. The book then guides you through planning and designing your home landscape with purpose. From functional zoning and lifestyle-based design to principles of balance, scale, and flow, you'll gain practical tools to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and livable year-round. Whether you're designing a front yard, backyard, or full property layout, these concepts help bring structure and clarity to your vision. To ensure your landscape remains healthy and attractive in every season, the book also covers essential building and maintenance strategies. From spring preparation and summer color to fall texture and winter beauty, you'll find clear advice on seasonal planting, care calendars, and long-term maintenance that keeps your landscape thriving all year. Finally, Midwest Home Landscaping brings everything together with guidance on designing a truly seasonal garden - one that evolves gracefully through all four seasons while remaining practical, resilient, and deeply connected to the rhythms of Midwest living.
