Phil M. Williams' Fire the Landscaper sounds a battle cry defending private property, homesteading and chemical-free living -- 'weeds' and all." - Diana Morse ★★★★★ "Mr. Williams had me in tears a few time with his rich descriptions, story telling, and simplistic revelations of truth to a simpler, richer way of living. A definite MUST READ for everyone - and I mean everyone." - Terri R. ★★★★★ "As much about life as it is about the lawn, Fire the Landscaper is a quick and very timely read about the organized destruction of our ecosystems one yard at a time." - T. Hall ★★★★★ "Great book, I went through it in an evening. Mr Williams does an excellent job using real life examples to paint the picture of where we are, where were going, and where we could go. I wish I could stand on a corner and hand this out." - Matt M. ★★★★★ "What an awesome book! Its great to have a book out there that challenges the cultural norms head on. It exposes the practices of the lawn care industry, and how toxic and wasteful it is for our environment. It definitely inspired me to get out there and grow some food in my yard instead of just mowing down my weeds, I mean grass...no weeds." - Desiree H. ★★★★★ "This is one of the few books I have actually read in its entirety for many years. If you are one that seeks after true nature, this is the book for you." - Aaron ★★★★★
