Rupert Keys, award winning garden builder and owner of Task Academy, shares over 30 years of professional expertise to help homeowners create beautiful gardens with confidence in his new DIY garden book.

The Garden DIY Book, published by Dorling Kindersley (DK), aims to take 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.

The book combines Keys’ decades of hands-on experience with easy-to-follow photography, illustrations and practical advice.

Rupert Keys says:

“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.”
