Dozens of photos show ingenious solutions for steep slopes and cramped space, and the simple, fully illustrated instructions explain how to lay paths from brick, stone, and slate, and how to make steps from precast concrete, timber poles, and railroad ties. Other designs and plans cover such features as timber treads, planted steps, stepping-stone paths, rustic steps, and a wandering walkway. 64 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11.
