Landscaping expert Rupert Keys' new The Garden DIY Book, is published by Dorling Kindersley (DK).

Designed for anyone who dreams of transforming their outdoor space, The Garden DIY Book "takes the mystery out of professional landscaping from laying patios and building decking to creating raised beds, pergolas, planting schemes and sustainable garden features, the book provides practical, step-by-step guidance that gives readers the confidence to tackle projects properly and avoid costly mistakes".

As the owner of Task Academy, he trains professional landscapers. Before founding Task Academy, he spent over 30 years building the Keyscape Design and Construction business.

Keys said: "For years I've been teaching professional landscapers how to build gardens that last. This
book is about giving homeowners that same knowledge. I want people to understand not only how to build something beautiful, but how to build it properly, so it can be enjoyed for many years to come."
