Bench. Friday , October 06th , 2017 - 07:11:03 AM
Often we have seen that space in the entry ways and halls is a concern. It is essential that we don't give too much attention to the design that the space gets cramped. You have to choose such a sitting bench that provides enough space, keeping the design appealing. Go for the sleek and neutral color benches and choosing natural wood styles is more preferred. The wooden benches are compatible with almost every decor and their robust and solid construction can last longer for years.
Remember, because the garden benches I have mentioned are suitable for many purposes, you should choose the size of your bench based on where you want to put it, and assess how it will look in any specific place or places in your garden. Measure the perfect length for your garden benches to be before making any purchase, and choose the style that best fits your garden and you.
Some benches have extra functions. One of the most useful ones is storage. Storage benches are good for sitting and the space under the seat is used to store various things like garden tools etc.

Wholesale Clumping Bamboo
We understand that looking for wholesale clumping bamboo might be a completely new thing to you. But, at Palmco, you can get all the information you need to make an educated purchase for your clientele.
Established in 1984 on Pine Island, Florida, Palmco has over 600 acres of palm trees and bamboos, ranging from the exotic and rare to the most plentiful and widely used.
Our 16 beautiful varieties of clumping bamboo range from dwarf to mid-sized to giant bamboos.
Every plant is nurtured to produce only the healthiest, strongest specimens. Clumpers make excellent, fast-growing, evergreen hedges and spectacular ornamental specimens.
In contrast to running bamboos which spend their first few years of growth establishing a root system, clumping varieties grow quickly and may reach full height in four to six years, depending on the growing conditions.
It’s crucial, however, to choose a variety that will grow in your climate.
At Palmco, we continuously research and acquire new clumping species to evaluate them for their suitability to our Southwest Florida subtropical climate.
The most cold-hardy of the clumpers are the Bambusa multiplex and Bambusa textilis varieties. They will generally remain evergreen to around 12° to 15°F, and our Florida temperatures rarely drop below this.
Some popular Bambusa varieties include:
Graceful Bamboo– As the name suggests, this Chinese variety, also called Slender Weavers or Bambusa textilis gracilis is the most graceful of all bamboos.
It has few lower branches on mature culms, so its attractive 1-inch diameter canes can be easily seen without having to prune the plant. Graceful Bamboos have an upright growth pattern and are very well-behaved.
Growing to a typical height of 25 feet, they are very hardy and will fit nicely in any city or country landscape, including small, narrow yards.
Asian Lemon- Asian Lemon bamboo or Bambusa eutuldoides viridi-vittata.
is great for both aesthetic applications and privacy screening. It is a tight clumping bamboo that reaches heights of up to 25 feet, which makes it great for screening. It also features deep, impressive colors that attract the eye immediately, making it a great choice as a centerpiece.
Asian lemon can be used to screen an area with respect to privacy, sound, light, or wind. It can be planted in dense rows that allow it to form a thick barrier between areas.
When using this bamboo as a focal point, trim the lower branches to the desired height to show off the thick-walled culms (canes). The new culms or shoots have pink and peach tones with green stripes. When established, the culms are lemon yellow with green stripes and dark green leaves.
The Asian Lemon bamboo would be a great addition to any home or garden.
Green Stripe Bamboo- This medium-sized clumping variety is less widely known compared to other varieties but has beautiful foliage with striking culms.
Bambusa dolichomerithalla ‘Green Stripe’ can grow to about 30 feet tall and has 1-1/2 to 2-inch wide yellow-green (aging to orange-green) culms with deep green stripes. You may also hear this species referred to as Green Stripe Blowgun Bamboo.
Originating in Taiwan, it is popular for craftwork, and its long straight culms which span two feet between internodes were ideal for making blowguns.
Palmco produces only the healthiest, strongest palms and bamboos for the wholesale market, nurturing each plant in our moderately warm, fertile environment.
So, if you need wholesale clumping bamboo, call us today at (239) 283-1329. We look forward to working with you!


An eighth generation North Carolinian, Mardi grew up on a small farm in Marion, surrounded by chickens, berry brambles, gardens and horse pastures, all tucked in a little valley in Pisgah National Forest. So began her love of the Earth's natural beauty and diversity.
She brings her longtime interests in art, horticulture, and the natural world to the discipline of garden design, and her outdoor spaces reflect a marriage of these fields.
Mardi received degrees in art history from Davidson College, social work from UNC-Chapel Hill, and Garden Design (with Merit) from Oxford College of Garden Design in England.
She studied English art and architecture in London and completed horticulture training at Haywood Community College. She is a NC Certified Plant Professional, a former licensed clinical social worker, and a former NC Licensed Landscape Contractor. She has received Gold and Bronze Awards in Residential Design from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), where she served as President of the Virtual Chapter of APLD.
Mardi was a founding member and former chair of Women for Women, an initiative of the Community Foundation of WNC who mission is to improve the lives of women and girls across the region. She currently serves on the Steering Committee of the Historic Newton Cemetery.
When she bought her current home in 1999, the landscape was nearly a blank canvas on a double lot in a historic North Asheville neighborhood. Since then, the development of her garden has provided practical experience, inspiration, and opportunities for experimentation.
“We love the design, variety of plants, and that many of the plants in the old landscape were incorporated into the new one. We love working with Mardi!"
Susan Van Tassel
“Mardi and her subcontractors transformed our front yard! Mardi ensured that everything she had designed in the master plan was just what took place. Her attention to detail and involvement in the process is simply amazing. We could not be happier with the end result.”
“Mardi is one of a kind. She listens, engages, and is a pleasure to work with. She came up with a design that is so lovely and adds so much charm and value to our home. She has an artist’s eye! I am so pleased with the flagstone walk and the reorienting of the front porch, as well as the layout of the plants.”
“Working with Mardi is a delight! She listens well and designs with the eye of an artist. Her design brings us joy every day!”

When it comes to designing your driveway, there are endless possibilities for creating a unique and eye-catching look. One popular option that has gained traction in recent years is stamped concrete.
Not only does it provide a durable and long-lasting surface for your vehicle, but it also allows you to incorporate creative designs that can elevate the overall aesthetic of your property.
To achieve a standout stamped concrete driveway, there are several techniques and design options that you can implement. By incorporating unique patterns and textures, adding pops of color, creating the illusion of natural stone, using stencils and stamps, and considering borders and edging, you can create a one-of-a-kind driveway that sets your home apart from the rest.
With some creativity and planning, you can turn your boring driveway into a work of art that adds value to your home while impressing anyone who comes onto your property. The advantages of driveway replacement go beyond just improving the aesthetics. A new driveway can provide smoother and safer driving conditions, enhance the curb appeal of your home, and increase its overall value.
– Stamped concrete driveways offer an endless array of design options, including unique patterns, textures, and shapes.
– Adding pops of color through staining or painting can elevate the overall design and create a standout look.
– Borders and edging not only add style, but also prevent weed growth and require regular maintenance for durability.
– Stamped concrete driveways can add value to a home and complement its exterior style, setting it apart from others in the neighborhood.
Incorporate Unique Patterns and Textures
You can really make your stamped concrete driveway stand out by incorporating unique patterns and textures. When it comes to patterns, geometric shapes are a great way to add interest without going overboard. Simple squares or triangles can be arranged in a variety of ways to create a visually appealing design.
Abstract designs are another option if you’re looking for something more artistic. These can range from swirls and curves to more complex shapes that mimic natural elements like waves or leaves.
Textures also play an important role in the overall look of your stamped concrete driveway. You can choose from a variety of options such as smooth finishes, rough surfaces, or even imprints that mimic the look of natural stone or brick. Combining different textures within one design can add depth and interest to your driveway while still maintaining a cohesive look.
And don’t forget about color! By adding pops of color through staining or painting techniques, you can take your stamped concrete driveway design to the next level.
Add Pops of Color
Adding a vibrant touch to your driveway with colorful accents can transform the entire look and feel of your outdoor space, leaving you feeling inspired and energized. One way to add pops of color to your stamped concrete driveway is by incorporating colored aggregates into the mix. These small stones come in a variety of colors, including reds, blues, greens, and even golds. When mixed with concrete and stamped into your driveway, they create a unique and eye-catching finish that will make your home stand out.
Another creative way to add color to your stamped concrete driveway is through staining or painting techniques. These options allow for endless possibilities when it comes to creating a personalized look for your home. You can choose from a range of colors and finishes, such as solid colors or intricate designs that mimic natural stone patterns. By adding these colorful accents and creative finishes to your stamped concrete driveway, you can achieve a one-of-a-kind look that perfectly complements the style of your home’s exterior.
Now, let’s explore how to create the illusion of natural stone for an even more realistic finish.
Create the Illusion of Natural Stone
To achieve a more realistic finish for your outdoor space, try incorporating techniques that create the illusion of natural stone. Stone-like finishes can be achieved by adding texture to your stamped concrete design. This can be done by using stamps that imprint the surface with patterns resembling natural stone, such as granite or slate.
Creative coloration is another way to enhance the look of your stamped concrete driveway and create a more authentic appearance. You can add depth and dimension to the surface by combining different shades of color in a way that mimics the natural variations found in real stone.
Once you’ve achieved a realistic-looking base layer, you can also experiment with creative techniques such as acid staining or hand-applied coloring to further customize the look. To take things even further, consider using stencils and stamps to add intricate designs or patterns onto the surface of your driveway.
Use Stencils and Stamps
By incorporating stencils and stamps, your outdoor space can be transformed into a unique and intricate work of art. Stamped concrete driveway surface options are endless, but the use of stencils and stamps can take it to the next level.
There are several best stencil designs for driveways that can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home’s curb appeal. To start, consider using geometric patterns such as diamonds or squares to create a modern look. Or opt for more organic designs like leaves or flowers for a softer, natural ambiance.
Another option is to incorporate personalized stencils with your family’s initials or favorite quotes to make your driveway truly one-of-a-kind. Additionally, using stamps in combination with stencils can create a textured effect that mimics natural stone or brick.
For an even more customized look, you can experiment with layering different stencil designs together or mixing them with hand-painted elements. The possibilities are endless! As you explore these options, keep in mind that adding borders and edging can further enhance the overall aesthetic of your stamped concrete driveway design.
Consider Adding Borders and Edging
Don’t forget to incorporate borders and edging into your stamped concrete driveway design. Adding a border creates a defined edge that can help prevent the growth of grass or weeds at the edges of your driveway. It also adds an element of style, giving your driveway a polished and cohesive look that will elevate your home’s exterior.
When choosing a border or edging material, it’s important to consider its durability. You want something that will withstand the elements and heavy use over time. Some popular options include brick pavers, natural stone, and decorative concrete curbing.
Additionally, regular maintenance is key in keeping the border looking great. Sweep away any debris regularly and power wash as needed to keep it looking fresh.
By adding borders and edging to your stamped concrete driveway, you’ll create an eye-catching feature for your home while also ensuring its longevity with proper care.
Congratulations! You’ve just unlocked a world of creative possibilities for your stamped concrete driveway designs. By incorporating unique patterns and textures, adding pops of color, and creating the illusion of natural stone, you can turn your boring old driveway into a work of art.
Using stencils and stamps, and considering borders and edging, you can take your design to the next level. Your driveway is one of the first things that people see when they come to your home, so why not make a lasting impression on your guests or potential buyers if you ever decide to sell?
Don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild – try out different combinations of patterns, colors, and textures until you find the perfect design that suits your personal style. As American author Maya Angelou once said, “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
Remember, a well-designed stamped concrete driveway doesn’t just add curb appeal; it also adds value to your property. So invest wisely in this project and watch as it transforms your home into an enviable masterpiece that stands out from the crowd.

Flowerbed dividers made of pressure treated timber
When it comes to the appearance of an outdoor space, the small details can make a big difference. Creating distinct boarders around the lower-level areas of the space using rollboarders does exactly that.
Comprised of half logs secured together with wire, this roll will add a traditional finishing touch to your borders, driveways and paths.
Yet the advantages of using rollboarders are not exclusively aesthetic in nature, but also functional as they help divide and clearly define the spaces used as flowerbeds. That way it allows the soil within to be treated separately from the rest of the outdoor area, creating optimal conditions for the growing plants, offering better support and helping keep away pets and humans alike.
The rollboarders from SHOWOOD are made of pressure treated Scandinavian pine timber and are available in a variety of designs, so that you can find the one that better fits the needs of your outdoor space.

The Chief Exective Officer of Hall 7, Braimo Olayinka stated this yesterday while marking the World Tree Planting Day at the estate in Jabi Life Camp, Abuja.
According to him, “tree planting is very important in any environment. Aside the fact that it helps absorb carbon dioxide, it also beautifies the environment.
“Any environment that does not have trees planted around it is lacking behind and does not appreciate nature. We are also campaigning against deforestation and encouraging Nigerians to plant trees and promote the green environment which every country is working towards achieving.
“In develop societies of Europe and America, people are encouraged to imbibe the culture of tree planting in their houses to promote the green environment. Trees also guard our houses against wind and promotes security”.
Also speaking, an Architect with the firm, Maimunat Sanusi said the firm is working assiduously to partner major stakeholders in tree planting exercise across the country.
She added that the various agencies of government will also play key roles in ensuring green environment for all Nigerians.
On his part, Architect Jiya David while harping on the importance of tree planting in all houses said the venture will stablise the soil.
He said Nigerian must take the lead in Africa to bolster its stand as the giant of Africa in all areas.


Quality paved spaces designed and installed by professionals
We specialise in the installation of all types of stone paving, ensuring that your investment will be of the very highest specification and quality.
With so many materials, colours and textures available, choosing exactly how to pave your outdoor space can sometimes be a difficult task. Paving materials can be various sizes, thicknesses, textures and shapes and fall into five main categories:
- Natural Stone, e.g. Granite, Travertine, Limestone, Slate, Yorkstone and Indian Sandstone
- Man-made Stone, typically concrete-based and often with colour pigments added
- Resin-Bonded Surfaces
- Pattern-imprinted concrete (PIC)
All of these materials will provide beautiful and
long-lasting outdoor spaces and there are pros and cons to each.
Our expertise is in natural and man-made stone. If you require resin-bonded
or pattern-imprinted concrete surfaces we would refer you to
other local companies that specialise in these materials.
Regardless of the material you choose or the company you select to install it, the cost of materials is always outweighed by the cost of installation. This means that you can trade up to a premium material without significantly affecting the overall project cost, and is the reason we would always recommend you select the best quality material within your budget.
We have been designing and installing paving and patios for over 35 years and, in all that time, none of our projects look exactly the same. One of the main reasons customers choose us is that we take the time to understand their preferences and produce designs that are unique to them and their garden.
If you are thinking of installing paving this year, contact us to discuss your requirements. We will happily explain the differences between the different materials and advise which would be more suitable for your requirements and your budget. We also have an extensive portfolio of previous work that we are happy to share with you to provide additional inspiration.

Work on streetscrape, parking could begin in September
Work to create a new downtown pedestrian streetscape and improved public parking lot could begin by early September after the Sturgis City Commission approved a scaled-back North Parking Lot project Wednesday.
Commissioners met in special session to review nearly $137,000 of project reductions after initial bids for the work came in at more than $745,000.
The two biggest savings will come from substantially reducing the amount of paving bricks incorporated in pedestrian areas and the elimination of a large fire pit that had been included in the design.
The work will create a wide pedestrian walkway area behind U.S. 12 storefronts that extends from North Nottawa Street to North Street. It will include outdoor seating, lighting, landscaping and the replacement of underground utilities. In addition, the current public parking area south of the Sturgis Police Department will be upgraded and paved.
Commissioners awarded the contract to Selge Construction of Niles, the project’s initial low bidder, after amending the scope to just over $608,000.
City Manager Michael Hughes said he believes the reduced use of brick pavers to several accent locations and a border will still maintain an upscale streetscape appearance.
Officials also plan to run natural gas lines to the site designated for the elaborate fire pit that was dropped from the project to save money. Hughes said a scaled-back version could be considered in the future.
The project is expected to take at least 12 weeks to complete and landscaping installation likely will be delayed until spring 2017. City staff and contractors will work on plans to maintain access to rear store entrances and some municipal parking there throughout the project.

BBWARM is currently working on the Cottonwood Neighborhood Drainage Improvements project as part of its capital improvement program for Birch Bay. This project will include a new stormwater system from the lowest end of Halverson Park to the bay. A public meeting to get residents' feedback on the proposed design and discuss water quality problems in the area will be scheduled later this spring. For more information click here.


Today, I’d like to tell you about a garden. A diamond of our world heritage. For centuries, its multiple facets have captivated, and drawn people to live here and create a welcoming land where talent, creativity and determination can flourish. And this land is my land. I’m passionately attached to it and believe that we all have the desire to become custodians of the places we love and the places in which we have decided to spend our lives.
In the 19th century, Nice was the garden city of Europe - and soon will be again. Did you know that almost 75% of the surface area of our 49 metropolitan areas in Nice Côte d’Azur are either natural or agricultural spaces? This exceptional heritage is a veritable asset and that is why we made it one of our main development priorities.
In Nice, the countryside is everywhere you look. Your gaze is drawn to the sea, the hills and the Alps. In the heart of our city, we have created a 12-hectare park featuring varieties of trees from every continent; the park has attracted millions of visitors since it was created. A new stretch of palm trees has further enhanced the Promenade des Anglais along with a future 35-hectare landscaped park in the Plaine du Var where we are building the Nice of 21st century.
Once again, we are becoming the green city of the Mediterranean. But this garden city is not solely to be admired or visited by holiday-makers. Its strength and attractiveness lie in the large-scale transformations we have been undertaking since 2008 thanks to significant developments in the economy, technology, universities and science. Today, countless horizons are opening before us. The national interest initiative covering 10,000 hectares in the Plaine du Var has resulted in a new landscape dedicated to innovation, research, sustainable development and a town-planning approach that is a model of ecological transition.
We are one of the world’s leading smart cities and the European Union has appointed us Innovation Ambassadors for Europe. We hope that we will be an inspiration to other cities. We like to think that the Garden of Eden was not destroyed but is here before our eyes.

Vegetable Garden Design Plans - Typically, vegetable garden design plans have actually always been a smaller reproduction of the full sized farms as well as specifically plants with straight rows marching from side to side over the entire plot.
Yet on the other hand, there is absolutely no reason why if the requirement occurs as well as the needed growing conditions are fulfilled that you could not make your personal vegetable garden design plans the means you wish to.
Most of the veggies can be expanded effectively in irregular vegetable garden design plans, boundaries and even for that issue, containers as well as as a result you only restriction in these conditions is the requirement of the specific plants that you wish to make use of.
The being stated, there are a couple of basic factors to consider that you need to be aware of when you are functioning your vegetable garden design plans.
In a lot of the areas, it is better as well as must I state, great practice, to prepare the soil for plating in the autumn as well as the location that you pick for vegetable garden design plans has to have appropriate drain. You must prevent shade as high as feasible as the veggies that you will be growing will need a minimum of 8 complete hours of sunlight daily. If you are unable to prevent some shade, then you could still plant a couple of leafy veggies like carrots or lettuce effectively. You will wish to keep a tube bib as your brand-new garden will be thirsty. Likewise, you should keep away from trees as they will develop far too much shade as well as will additionally compete with your newly planted veggies for resources such as water.

Pool Design. Friday , February 02nd , 2018 - 14:22:09 PM
This will make your home look like a holiday villa, or the home of a famous celebrity, and will be the icing on the cake when you have your own pool. Modern pool designs incorporate the complete garden design. More often than not a swimming pool design will involve other landscape design to match the pool. Like everything around us, the concept of the swimming pool design too is undergoing major changes. From being a rectangular pool of water it has evolved into a style statement.
Before you begin choosing between salt water pool designs there are several factors that should be considered. Many of the people that have seriously considered installing a salt water pool quickly find that there are a few steps between dreaming of a pool and actually enjoying it. The size of your pool is something should be carefully considered. Real estate experts often comment on the common mistake that most new pool owners make. Many people feel that the bigger the pool the more it will increase property values.
If you live in a tropic climate then no doubt you have a variety of tropical foliage growing on your property. Why not choose a pool design that brings with it the fluidity of the ocean. Smooth curving lines can be used to bring focus to palm trees or other tropical plants. If your home follows a more Zen philosophy then no doubt it is dominated by simple lines. In this case rectangular salt water pool designs would work, as long as they are placed in an area that flows with the rest of your property.

The designs follow significant engagement with the local community, clinicians and key healthcare stakeholders as well as feedback from staff and consumers.
The feedback has informed key design considerations such as heritage, connection to country, the environment and green space to create a welcoming environment for patients, staff, and visitors.
Central to the design is connections with existing onsite heritage buildings including Denistone House and The Stables, and the Blue Gum High Forest, as well as green spaces.

"I love it when a plan comes together"
John Hanibal Smith - "The A Team"
There are few satisfactions in this life that equal the feeling of taking a vision or idea then committing it to paper, and finally
seeing it take on life in the form of a beautiful landscape.
This is so much more than planting trees and shrubs and laying brick. This is creating a space where life happens... where friends are entertained and laughter is unleashed. This is creating a space for life's special moments, or a place to escape the pressures of the day. This is a gift that we give to ourselves and to others and it is a blessing to be able to participate in this process.
Only God can create natural beauty, but we channel our God given talents to do our best using inspiration of The Master's work.

An above-ground pit becomes a focal point of your outdoor living design. Be sure and place it where it balances with other large design elements. A gas fire pit can be placed just about anywhere, but a wood-burning pit will need to be at least 10 feet away from any structure. Before putting in a permanent fire pit, check for wind patterns that may cause potential smoke issues. Also, remember to leave ample room for seating around the pit.
Selecting a facing material for your fire pit that ties in with your patio and the materials on the exterior of your home. Choosing fire pit fill materials that are both decorative and heat absorbent, such as lava rock, river rock and recycled glass. How fuel costs will impact the overall cost of operating your fire pit.
An in-ground fire pit can be cost-effective, however above-ground pits are more common. One trend is to create a “sunken living room” design for an above-ground fire pit. This offers the added benefit of built-in seating. In addition, the surrounding wall can act either as a wind barrier or a heat reflector, creating a warm and cozy room.
Many people opt for a mobile fire pit that can be moved around to various locations. Movable fire pits are certainly less expensive than a built-in pit, come in a wide variety of designs, and have the added benefit of portability. The primary drawback, however, is that a movable fire pit tends to only last a season or two before the materials begin to deteriorate.

If you are having problems with soil erosion on your property, there are a lot of things that you can do to help keep the soil where it belongs instead of all over the neighbor's property, in the stream, or wherever else it might end up landing.
Erosion Control Nets
There are actually fine mesh nets that you can put over the areas where you are worried about erosion. The erosion control nets may also be called erosion control cloth or mats because they can be that finely woven. You just need to peg those down over the area, and it will help to keep the soil from washing or blowing away. You can use them in combination with other erosion control methods because using more than one method at a time can give you a better solution than you might get just using one.
Another thing that you can try is putting some kind of vegetation down in the area. It doesn't matter if you are going to use grass, wildflowers, or ground cover, the roots of the plants are going to help anchor the soil and keep it from washing away. You want to make sure that you are using something that grows relatively quickly so that it can start to act as an anchor as soon as possible.
There are various ways that you can place the vegetation in the area. For example, if it is on a steep hill, you can look into something like hydroseeding. That involves blowing a slurry of seed, mulch, and dye onto the hillside. As the slurry dries, it will help to anchor the soil until the plants start to grow. You can use those grasses or other plants as part of a multi-step erosion control planting program. If you plant the quick-growing smaller plants to start to anchor the upper levels of soil, then you can add in slower-growing plants that are going to have a larger root system that can help to anchor larger spaces. A long-term erosion control plan will probably work best for you, but you have to make sure that you start it out with something quick and easy.
If you are worried about erosion on your property, there are various things that you can do to help control it. You can use just one thing, or you could come up with a combination of methods that will work best for you.

The sustainable management of stormwater and runoff is based on mimicking the natural water cycle (retention, evaporation, infiltration, etc.) while ensuring its depollution, to prevent flooding, replenish water tables, relieve wastewater sewers and improve the quality of water bodies. For that purpose, we apply both principles of source control and treatment train: a succession of appropriate steps such as swales, retention and/or infiltration basins, or other solutions described in other sections of this site (filter strips, wetlands, bioretention, rain gardens, mycofiltration, etc.).
In addition to the design of each facility, our added value lies in the selection of each step and their order of succession in the treatment train, to ensure optimal performance and operation
Approaches to manage stormwater and runoff that take account and bring multiple benefits such as water quantity (flooding prevention), water quality (pollution control), improving biodiversity and amenity are called Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS) or low impact developments (LIDs).


Steve Evans, retired architect and member of the City’s Multi-Modal Transportation Committee, introduced a proposal for a new pedestrian/cyclist bridge crossing over the Kansas River. Steve, an avid cyclist and resident of North Lawrence, has long had concerns about pedestrian and cyclist safety on the bridges crossing the river. He and other people who shared his concerns formed a work group called RiverFront & Center to discuss the issue.
Steve explained how the present walkways on the bridges are narrow and congested. The southern end of both bridges are particularly hazardous for pedestrian and cyclist traffic. The work group developed a new bridge proposal that not only could solve congestion and safety issues but also serve as an aesthetic asset for the river front area.
Kent Williams, an artist, architect, and urban aesthetics collaborator, presented several illustrations and details on three possible bridge designs. Kent spoke of the historical importance of the riverfront area and of the great potential for making it a focus of development and activities as many other communities have done. All of the proposed designs would be ADA accessible and connect with the Lawrence Loop trail, the downtown, City Hall, green space and parks, and other cultural amenities.
Also in attendance in support of the new bridge concept was Sujoy Dhar, an architect and urban designer, and City Commissioner Courtney Shipley. The City Commission will hear a presentation on the Kaw River Commons bridge concept on September 21st.


Environmental issues are always given due consideration during the design process and steps are taken to reduce any undesirable impact a scheme may have.
We've been responsible for various projects involving construction works in rivers. These have ranged from major flood alleviation projects, for example, the River Hull Tidal Surge Barrier, to studies of dredging requirements, for example, our work for the River Thames.
Much of our river engineering experience has been in relation to the study, design and implementation of flood alleviation schemes in fluvial and tidal environments. Our river engineers have worked on diversions, river training works, scour protection at bridges, river amenity improvements, river flow gauging stations and flow control structures.
Our team of in-house experts in hydrology, hydraulic modelling, environmental impact assessment, and landscape design work closely with our hydraulic engineers in developing river engineering works.

Protecting the Health of Our Waterways
Charlottesville is located in the Rivanna River watershed, which feeds into the James River, then the Chesapeake Bay, and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean.
To protect our community's many waterways, the City has launched a number of initiatives.
'Build Your Own Rain Barrel' Workshops
The City of Charlottesville's Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments, in partnership with the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District, have held several "build your own rain barrel" workshops.
To express interest in participating in future workshops, please email email@example.com.
Meadow Creek Restoration Project
The City, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, and with funding from the Virginia Aquatic Resources Trust Fund (VARTF), undertook a major stream restoration project on Meadow Creek in Charlottesville.
The VARTF is a cooperative program between The Nature Conservancy and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The $3.95 million project involved restoration through a 9,000 foot section of degraded stream and preserving 72 acres of forest and wetlands.
Restoration work began in May 2012 and was completed in March 2013, and entailed reducing the steep height of the stream banks, realigning and adding meanders and habitat structures to the stream channel, and planting trees to enhance the forested buffer along the stream. To permanently protect the stream, wetlands, and forested buffer, conservation easements were placeded over the project area. The conservation easements also protect over a mile of the Rivanna Trail located along Meadow Creek in this area.
Meadow Creek lies within the Rivanna watershed, which The Nature Conservancy has identified as one of the finest remaining freshwater systems in the Piedmont. The Rivanna Watershed Conservation Area Plan, developed by The Nature Conservancy and partners, identified increased sedimentation, due in part to stream bank erosion and the lack of forested buffers in riparian areas, as the greatest threat to the watershed.
This project complements the work done on upstream portions of Meadow Creek by The University of Virginia, which has recently completed a number of stream restoration projects, including one at the Dell and one at the John Paul Jones Arena.
For more information on the Meadow Creek stream restoration project please CLICK HERE.
Stormwater Management Program
Stormwater runoff is rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground and into the City's stormwater system or directly into creeks and streams. As this runoff flows, it can pick up oils and greases, heavy metals, pesticides, fertilizers, trash and debris, sediment, animal wastes, and other pollutants. Since our storm drains do not connect to water treatment facilities, but rather drain untreated into local waterways, these pollutants are carried along with stormwater runoff into the Rivanna River. As a result, contaminated stormwater runoff is a major source of pollution to our local waterways. Excessive contamination of runoff can cause sedimentation and erosion of our streams, water quality degradation, and unhealthy water conditions for humans and wildlife.
For further information on Charlottesville's stormwater program, please CLICK HERE.
Establishment of Vegetated Riparian Buffers
Planted vegetated riparian buffers offer waterways critical protection. This vegetation along a stream's banks help to filter out pollutants in stormwater runoff before reaching the waterway, and also reduce the velocity of stormwater flow towards the stream. This slowing of the velocity of water flow helps to prevent erosion and stream bank scouring. For more information on Riparian Buffers, please CLICK HERE.
A raingarden is a low impact development stormwater management technique designed to improve water quality by filtering out and uptaking pollutants, promoting on-site infiltration and groundwater recharge, and reducing peak stormwater flows. By slowing water flow, a raingarden allows greater infiltration into soils, and gives plants in the garden time to process and remove pollutants from the water before it flows into local waterways.

The Cotswolds is well-known for its quaint chocolate box cottages made from beautiful rustic stone, which give its buildings and the surrounding landscape its distinctive look. This popular stone has the creamy coloured hues and uniqueness that is proving a must-have in swimming pool and landscape trends this 2020/2021 swimming pool season.
Although charming, the famous Cotswold limestone, which originates from the rural area, is prone to weathering, making it unsuitable as a sustainable paving choice. Cranbourne Stone has found the solution with its unique Cotswold Mint Sandstone. Cranbourne Stone’s Cotswold Mint Sandstone retains the beauty and charm of the traditional Cotswold limestone while overcoming its proneness to weather damage and degradation.
“The colour and look of Cotswold stone is extremely popular for the coming season,” explained Jo Standfield, Cranbourne Stone’s Sales Director. “It has the warm cream and honey-coloured tones that are catching the attention of landscapers and designers around the country.
“Natural stone varies in both colour and texture. Sandstone in particular will not be consistent in colour. The appearance of the stone will change when wet, enhancing the natural tones within the stone just like the stone used through the Cotswolds.“
As renowned author J.B Priestly wrote, “The truth is that it has no colour that can be described. Even when the sun is obscured and the light is cold, these walls are still faintly warm and luminous”. It is this exact sentiment and sought-after charm that makes Cotswold Mint Sandstone so popular.
“It’s certainly the stone to use for the autumn/winter period as its colour brings warmth and brightens up any landscape,” Jo added.
Cranbourne Stone’s Cotswold Mint Sandstone is a hard-wearing and practical material, which creates stunning patios, terraces, paths and even swimming pool surrounds. It has the unique traditional look, texture and colour of natural Cotswold limestone but also the longevity required for areas of high use. Importantly it is also non-slip, making it perfect for the wet, winter season.
For those looking to achieve the same Cotswolds charm but with a modern edge, Leckford Sandstone fits the bill. This elegant sandstone with buff tones and a lightly sandblasted textured surface for added slip resistance is the ideal material to construct beautiful contemporary paving and swimming pool surrounds.
Cranbourne Stone is the UK’s largest stockist of paving and step treads in sandstone, limestone, granite, travertine and porcelain. The experts in bespoke natural stone can also create unique pieces using its state-of-the-art in-house CNC bridge saws and waterjet machinery, making the design possibilities endless.

New renderings, presented yesterday during the final round of public consultations [PDF], reflect new efforts to establish connections with the city’s native heritage. First Nations–inspired carvings adorn the walls of the gateway to the “ravine” at the north end of the park—the carvings will be part of a provincial “moccasin identifier” project, which marks First Nations sites in urban areas with moccasin symbols.
Other new elements include a floating dock for canoeists and kayakers near the park’s entrance, and a firepit at the central beach.
Documents suggest the park’s central esplanade and programming space will be used for various different purposes and activities, including festivals, food trucks, a farmers’ market, and art fairs. The park’s south end could host events such as kite festivals and outdoor film screenings.
As with the previous rounds of public consultation, an online survey has been posted—it will be available until March 31. The final design is scheduled to be revealed by this summer.

The Battery Conservancy began operating in 1995. Its mission is to design, build, maintain and program the park’s landscape, as well as to share stories of the site’s compelling history.
From 1941 to the 1980’s, the Battery went from a beloved, bustling public space to a forlorn and dilapidated park. In 1986, the Battery Park City Authority, in cooperation with NYC Parks & Recreation, commissioned the architectural firm of Ehrenkrantz and Eckstut for a Master Plan for rebuilding the park.
With Philip Winslow as the landscape architect, the Battery Master Plan completed public review and won an art commission award in 1986 for design excellence. Sadly, the plan languished on the shelf because of a lack of public will and civic focus. Thus, the Battery Conservancy was founded in 1994 as a civic engine with the sole purpose of implementing the Battery Master Plan.
Working with the Saratoga Associates architecture and planning firm, the Battery Conservancy drafted a strategic action plan called The Battery Rebuilt. The plan has since has evolved into these ten project areas:
Since 1994, the Conservancy with its public partners, led by NYC Parks & Recreation, has secured $112 million for design, construction and maintenance endowment. Three major capital projects are complete and seven more are in various stages of development, with expected finish dates over the next five years.
