Not primarily a book on lawn care, this Scotts book focuses on landscape designs in which a central role is given to turf.

2. "All About Flowering Trees and Shrubs" -- Ortho

A companion to Ortho's "Complete Guide to Trees and Shrubs", this book is more specific, focusing on trees and shrubs that produce showy blooms.

3. "Complete Decks" -- A Better Homes & Gardens Book

Beginning with the preliminary considerations of deck construction ("how best to position a deck for comfort and convenience"), you'll learn everything about deck construction basics, including maintenance and repair afterwards.
