Stone and Water: Designing and Building with Natural Stone in Pools, Decks, and Fountains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798299125016)

Stone and Water is a practical guide for anyone designing or restoring stone in wet environments. From pools and fountains to waterfalls and water features, this book takes the mystery out of working with stone around water. It explains how different types of stone perform when exposed to constant moisture, chemicals, and weathering, and what to avoid if you want your project to last.

Packed with real-world examples, do's and don'ts, and clear explanations, it's written for architects, designers, contractors, and restoration professionals who want reliable results. You'll learn how to select the right materials, spot potential problems before they start, and apply proven restoration and maintenance methods when things go wrong.

Whether you're planning a new design or bringing life back to an old installation, Stone and Water gives you the knowledge and confidence to do it right the first time.
