About the Book

TOUCH THE EARTH: 21ST CENTURY LANDSCAPING is the latest offering from cutting-edge landscaping entrepreneur Paul Dowlearn. This second book covers the basic steps of landscaping from the planning and design stage to long term care and maintenance. Along the way, Paul shares his vision for the 21st Century and what we must consider as we begin the journey toward a sustainable future. The most critical issue facing homeowners today is the availability of fresh water. Water collection, irrigation techniques, soil improvement, plant selection, and every other facet of the industry have been impacted to show major improvement in the first fifteen years of this New Millenium. A major shift in landscaping goals and attitudes has naturally come with these positive changes. The era of high maintenance, copious irrigation, and chemically controlled landscaping is coming to an end. Here is one seasoned veteran's view as to what is happening today and what will inevitably become the future of home landscaping. We must touch the Earth with respect, reverence, and a greater awareness of The Web of Life. www.wvlandscape.com
