Dane has written two books specifically for Marin. Successfully Landscaping Your Marin Home has more than 200 pages of tips on a wide range of subjects, including lowering costs, the design process, amending soil, managing deer and more than twenty additional chapters! Marin Landscape Design has more than six hundred pictures of local gardens, organized by category. It's value comes from knowing that every idea and image seen in the book can be easily replicated in your own garden.
"I found this book very useful in planning my landscaping for my home in the Oakland hills. As a home builder I know about building but landscaping is something I know next to nothing about, and this book was perfect in exposing me to all of the various facets I need to consider to get started."
"Dane Rose has written a no nonsense guide for landscaping. He goes into the nitty gritty of how to do it, where to get everything you need, the upside and the downside of each decision point. I don't live in Marin and I still found the guide to be extremely useful."
"Among the many things I appreciate about working with Dane are his willingness to collaborate creatively and his profound knowledge of plants."
Sharon Portnoy, Architect
"Dane seems to love creating a beautiful world and sharing his knowledge. He has a special talent for listening, and his commitment and reliability are outstanding."
