Homeowners can routinely save thousands of dollars in labor costs by buying and installing materials that are now readily available for routine purchase. This book includes traditional techniques for laying concrete adapted to the special needs of ordinary homeowners, but also features cutting edge materials and techniques, such as tumbled concrete pavers, acid-etching for colored concrete slabs, and important green paving options, such as rain-garden arroyos and permeable pavers. Several cutting edge projects are included, such as polished concrete countertops and stamped concrete walkways. A complete outdoor kitchen project, ideal for a  patio, is also included.

5complete guide
By Brannon T, Vann
This book gives a lot of detail and with a lot of pictures. When one picture is worth a 1,000 words this book has a lot of words. It has detailed instruction for projects such as brick laying, concrete forming, stone work and a lot of other unique projects. I liked this book so much I purchased a few of their other subjects. I would recommend this book to the DIY. I am finding the brick arch and brick laying sections especially useful.

4Pleased With Product
By KRo
Book arrived in brand-new condition. Very informatives for the basics, but not too deep into detail.
If you know nothing, this will teach you a lot. If you already know about masonry, this will not help you.
The book contains mixing concrete, how to build forms and stairs, tools and names. There are pictures for each explanation.
I lack experience in this field, so the book was pleasing to me.
