Hydrangeas are a popular flowering shrub that produces large, showy blooms in shades of pink, blue, white, and purple. While the variety of hydrangea determines the color of the flowers, it is possible to change the color of some types of hydrangeas by altering the soil’s pH level. This process is known as “coloring” or “toning” the flowers and can be done with a few simple steps.
There are several methods for changing the color of hydrangea flowers, depending on the desired color and the current pH level of the soil. For example, to turn blue hydrangeas pink, gardeners can add lime to the soil to raise the pH level. Conversely, gardeners can add aluminum sulfate to the soil to turn pink hydrangeas blue to lower the pH level. It is important to note that not all hydrangeas can be color-changed, and the success of the process depends on the specific type of hydrangea and the existing soil conditions.

Understanding Hydrangea Color
Hydrangeas are known for their beautiful and colorful flowers. The color of the blooms can range from white, pink, blue, and even purple, but the color of the flowers can vary depending on several factors.
Factors Affecting Hydrangea Color
The following factors can affect the color of hydrangea flowers:
- Soil pH: The soil’s pH level can determine the flowers’ color. Acidic soil with a pH level of 5.5 or lower produces blue flowers, while alkaline soil with a pH of 6.5 or higher produces pink flowers. Soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 can produce purple flowers.
- Hydrangea species: The hydrangea species can also affect the color of the flowers. For example, the mophead hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) can produce blue or pink flowers depending on the soil pH. In contrast, the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) produces white flowers that turn pinkish-purple as they age.
- Climate: The climate can also affect the color of hydrangea flowers. In cooler climates, hydrangea flowers tend to be more blue, while in warmer climates, they are more pink.
- Age of the plant: The age of the hydrangea plant can also affect the color of the flowers. Younger plants tend to produce lighter-colored flowers, while older plants produce darker-colored flowers.
By understanding these factors, you can change the color of your hydrangea flowers to your desired shade.
Changing Hydrangea Color
Hydrangeas are a popular flowering plant that can add a beautiful touch of color to any garden or landscape. One of the unique features of hydrangeas is that their color can be changed depending on the pH level of the soil they are planted in. Here are some tips on how to change the color of your hydrangeas:
Changing Blue or Pink Hydrangeas to Purple
If you have blue or pink hydrangeas and want to change them to purple, you will need to raise the pH level of your soil. This can be done by adding garden lime or wood ashes to the soil. You can also add dolomitic lime, which will raise the pH level and add magnesium and calcium to the soil. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying any of these products.
Changing Blue or Pink Hydrangeas to Red
If you have blue or pink hydrangeas and want to change them to red, you will need to lower the pH level of your soil. This can be done by adding aluminum sulfate to the soil. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying this product, as too much can harm your plants.
Changing Blue or Pink Hydrangeas to Green
If you have blue or pink hydrangeas and want to change them to green, you will need to lower the pH level of your soil even further than you would for red hydrangeas. This can be done by adding iron sulfate to the soil. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying this product, as too much can harm your plants.
Changing White Hydrangeas to Blue or Pink
If you have white hydrangeas and want to change them to blue or pink, you will need to alter the pH level of your soil as well. To turn them blue, you will need to lower the pH level of your soil, and to turn them pink, you will need to raise the pH level. Follow the steps as outlined above for changing the color of blue or pink hydrangeas.
Remember that changing the color of your hydrangeas can take time and may not happen overnight. Be patient and monitor the pH level of your soil regularly to ensure that it stays within the desired range. You can enjoy beautiful, colorful hydrangeas in your garden with little effort!
Maintaining Hydrangea Color
After successfully changing the color of your hydrangeas, you’ll want to ensure they stay that way. Here are tips to help maintain the color of your hydrangeas:
Caring for Hydrangeas to Maintain Color
Proper care for your hydrangeas is essential to maintain their color. Here are some tips:
- Water your hydrangeas regularly, especially during dry spells. Hydrangeas need moist soil to thrive.
- Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and regulate the soil temperature.
- Fertilize your hydrangeas with a high potassium fertilizer to encourage blooms and maintain color.
- Prune your hydrangeas in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged wood. This will help promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Avoid pruning your hydrangeas after they have started to bloom, as this can reduce the number of flowers the plant produces.
Protecting Hydrangeas from Environmental Factors
Environmental factors can also affect the color of your hydrangeas. Here are some tips to protect your plants:
|Environmental Factor||How to Protect Your Plants|
|Excessive Sunlight||Plant your hydrangeas in a location that receives partial shade or filtered sunlight.|
|Cold Temperatures||Cover your hydrangeas with burlap or a frost blanket during cold snaps to protect them from frost damage.|
|Strong Winds||Stake your hydrangeas or use a trellis to help support them and prevent wind damage.|
By following these tips, you can help maintain the color of your hydrangeas and enjoy their vibrant blooms for years to come.

Medium Stone Monoliths are becoming increasingly difficult to source, and Slate Monolith SM97 is an excellent example of a striking piece to be included in a medium or large scale garden design. This imposing tower of real Welsh Slate echoes the countries’ ancient forts such as Dolwyddelan Castle near Betws Y Coed and Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber in Pembrokeshire. This piece is quite different to our normal designs as the top is sawn aswell as the base. This is suitable for drilling as a water feature and due to the large surface area will create great interest when water starts to run over the top. This will make a great feature even when not running as a water feature. Smaller slate monoliths descending in size would complete this feature and make a great focal point. We can supply smaller monoliths and rockery pieces to compliment this stunning slate water feature. We’re also going to experiment polishing the top which will create a slightly darker colouration but will create an absolute mirror finish.
Delivery is via trusted courier or by Ioan Raymond himself. Slate Monolith SM95 is made from 100% natural Welsh Slate, sourced from a North Wales quarry and hand finished by Ioan Raymond in his Southampton Workshop. Many customers like to use monoliths with a number of our garden accessories, including slate stepping stones, 20mm chippings and LED Lighting (available in the basket when purchasing a monolith).
Stone Monoliths are perfect as focal points in landscape designs, they add beautiful natural stone textures and when combined with the Large Reservoir Pack its possible to bring the vibes of Welsh waterfalls to your garden. Natural stone and water help bring tranquility to an outdoor space, ideal for balancing harmony and increasing the potential for mindfulness in your garden.

ECOGRID® meets all the requirements of an environmentally compatible ground reinforcement system, without sealing the soil. The recycled and durable tiles made of pure polyethylene are also absolutely environmentally neutral. With an area of 1.33 m² per module and a low net weight, laying couldn’t be easier. If necessary, several thousand square metres of ground reinforcement can be laid in just one day. As soon as the patented connection system clicks into place, a single uninterrupted flat surface is created – piece by piece. The load spreading design reliably prevents the edges of individual tiles from protruding and prevents hollows or even subsidence from occurring.
EcoGrid prevents erosion by:
Reinforcing the ground and preventing the excessive migration of fill materials;
Providing a permeable surface to assist in ground water absorption, thus decreasing water runoff.
In its prevention of erosion, EcoGrid provides stability and safety, while improving an area’s aesthetics and reducing maintenance cost.
Often we get scenarios where excavation is not possible or is minimal such as sites of archaeological value or in areas where tree roots need protecting. Here the issue is that the sub-base needs to be as thin as possible whilst still retaining surface loading. Often here, we advise laying of a geotextile layer first, then a layer of (for example) 100mm clean 20mm stone retained by our Ecogrid Cell Web, a secondary geotextile layer is then laid and then the Ecogrid standard grids or Ecogrid Bloxx is laid.
We offer a complete turnkey solution to all clients:
- Initial consultation by telephone, email, video call
- Written, fixed term quotations and design advice

LED lights are the most popular lighting trend of the generation. However, this is a trend that is only going to grow in popularity as more and more people recognize all the benefits that making the switch can bring. These lights costs less in the long run for homeowners, they are more durable than traditional bulbs, you can be more creative with their application, and they are better for the environment.
What isn’t to love?
If you are looking to jump on the LED light bandwagon and want to install some into your back garden, then read on for three tips for enhancing landscape lighting with LED solutions from trusted LED lights suppliers in Dubai.
1. Familiarize yourself with the different LED lighting options.
One of the incredible things about LED lighting is that they can be utilized in practically any situation. Unlike incandescent bulbs (which are known for being limited in their uses), LED lights, on the other hand, are available in a variety of designs.
If LED lighting is new to you, then you are going to want to educate yourself on the variety of options that are on the market. Here is an introduction to five types of LED products:
- LED Downlights: The most popular type of LED fixture due to their efficiency, durability and safety.
- LED Spotlights: Best used for ornamental reasons and to create accent lighting.
- LED Panel Lights: A common choice for offices and commercial spaces as they produce some of the brightest light on the market.
- LED Floodlights: Particularly designed for large, outdoor areas.
- LED Spike Lights: The perfect option for outdoor, landscaping needs, LED Spike lights were created with the specific intention of lighting flower beds and other parts of a garden. This design ensures that LED Spike lights are some of the most flexible LED products available.
Therefore, unless you have a massive outdoor area (in which case you may want LED Floodlights), in order to enhance your landscape lighting, you will want to opt for LED Spike Lights.
One of the significant benefits of LED lighting is that it can do directional lighting (spotlights, task lighting) excellently, which allows you to have light focused in your garden right where you want it.
2. Utilize your imagination.
Keeping your personal landscape well-lit is vital both for safety and aesthetic reasons. The most well-designed landscape lighting plans ensure that homeowners are able to discourage intruders from entering their property, as well as have optimal light to organize night gatherings.
When it comes to security lights, you may want to opt for LED lights installed above eye level that illuminate your pathways and steps. This technique is often called “downlighting” and is useful regarding security concerns.
As LED lights are so customizable, they are the perfect options for landscape lighting needs; all you need to do is utilize your imagination. What do you want your landscape lighting to look and feel like? What areas of the garden do you want to highlight?
Once you begin considering which areas or features you want highlighted by your lights, it is time to start making a plan. In the drawing, sketch your home and landscape, as well as any other important details (however small), such as steps, driveways, large trees, ponds, patios, and other notable features.
On this piece of paper, start sketching what your imagination generates.
Keep in mind the design and vibe of your home, as you want your lighting plan to complement the current style of your house. Whether it is the color or the design, you want everything to work well together.
Additionally, LED lighting is prepared in many amperes and voltages, so you can also choose from having a very light glow, to a vibrant light, and everything in between. Perhaps, in different areas of your landscape, you will require varying intensities of light, and in some places, waterproof LED lights.
3. Switch soon to save money and time.
LED lights are undoubtedly the most efficient options for lighting solutions. Not only do they save you money in the long run (they use a fraction of the energy that other bulbs require), but they also are the most convenient.
By installing LED lighting in your landscape, you will only find yourself having to replace the bulbs when they fail — which happens on average after 40,000 hours! So, you have plenty of time to enjoy your well-lit garden.
In addition to the above tips, it is essential that you keep in mind the positive impact that switching to LED lights has on the planet.
Incandescent bulbs merely transform 10 percent of their power into light (meaning 90% of the energy is wasted) and LED lights convert 95% of their energy into light, which means that LED lights are more efficient, more economical, and more environment-friendly.
This is why, by exchanging only one light bulb with LED, you can decrease your energy consumption by 70-90 per cent.
So, remember that if you install LED lights into your landscape lighting plan, then you don’t need to be as concerned about negatively affecting the Earth (at least as much as traditional lighting does). Speak with reputable suppliers today to learn more about upgrading your landscape with LED lighting.

Architecture designs are highly sought after in the digital world. These designs range from interior design layouts to exterior landscape design. They can be used to visualize a home or building’s layout, determine the flow of a space, and plan out how to use natural light and space effectively. Architects and interior designers use digital designs to help clients visualize the end result of their project before starting construction. These designs can also be used in real estate listings to give potential buyers a better understanding of a property.
With the help of digital technology, architects and designers can create 3D models of buildings and spaces to get a better understanding of how everything will fit together. They can also use digital designs to experiment with different colors, materials, and layouts to find the perfect combination. This allows for a more efficient and cost-effective planning process that saves time and resources.

A Patio View At Sunrise And Sunset
The Tiffany home on Sunrise Lake in Blaine now has a front seat view of Sunset Bay. Nestled in a cozy channel that leads to the lake, Jone and Hal Tiffany wanted a little bit of beach and a patio to enjoy with family and friends. They also wanted easy access to launch their kayak, without having to walk over rocks and brush.
The Tiffany home on Sunrise Lake in Blaine now has a front seat view of Sunset Bay. Nestled in a cozy channel that leads to the lake, Jone and Hal Tiffany wanted a little bit of beach and a patio to enjoy with family and friends. They also wanted easy access to launch their kayak, without having to walk over rocks and brush, while preserving the integrity of the buffer zone that protects the shoreline.
Jone and Hal own a detached townhome, so the property surrounding it is maintained by an HOA. Homeowners are allowed to develop 30% of the lakeshore in front of their home, but association approval is required to move forward, so Hal and Jone needed a design that would be given a green light. 70% of the lakeshore had to remain a buffer zone with native plants, and a swale or catch-pond was required to catch fertilizer runoff from the yard in order to protect water quality.
A lot of behind the scenes work went in to making sure the landscape plan matched up with HOA guidelines. Hal Tiffany said, “Minnehaha Falls Landscaping provided detailed drawings that were to scale and in color. The plan was clear and so was their commitment to preserving the quality of the lake. Our association said the plan was exceptional.”
Invasive thistle, stinging nettle and small willows were removed from the yard, boulders were placed along the shoreline to protect from high water levels in the spring, and a stone patio was added. Hal refers to the stone cutters as “artists.” He said, “They cut several pallets of patio blocks, some cubed and some flat, with craftmanship, including angle cuts, with little waste.” Electricity was also installed around the patio so the space can be enjoyed after dark.
Jone, a lover of gardening is happy with the low maintenance perennials selected by Landscape Architect Tom Kerby, and says she loves MFL Owner Russ Henry’s commitment to attracting butterflies and pollinating bees. “I’m looking forward to planting some annuals in the Spring,” she said, “And I dispersed a large packet of pollinator wildflower seeds this year, hoping they will take over the buffer zone and look wild, yet pretty.”
The Tiffany’s are looking forward to relaxing with a book on the patio next summer, and time with friends around the fire pit. They’re also planning to enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking with their two-year-old grandson.

In previous articles I have
introduced many aquatic plant
layouts that utilized driftwood as the
main material for their composition.
However, in the Nature Aquarium rocks
can be the most important compositional
material. An aquatic plant layout composed
of rocks and short aquatic plants is called
an iwagumi layout, and it is classified
separately from other layouts.
Driftwood as a composition material
does not project a very strong presence
in a layout. This is because mosses and
ferns are often attached to its surface, and
colorful stem plants and other aquatic
plants are used in the layout. On the
contrary, the presence of rocks as a
compositional material is felt strongly in
an iwagumi layout. Therefore the selection
and the arrangement of rocks—and the
planting method to enhance the presence
of the rocks—are very important for this
style of layout.
In the Nature Aquarium, the naturalistic
appearance of the layout is enhanced
through composition and planting. It is not
an exaggeration to say that the success of an
iwagumi layout depends almost entirely on
the composition of rock arrangement and
planting. One must work very meticulously
when producing such a layout.
In an iwagumi layout, rocks are placed in
an aquarium by keeping in mind an image
of natural scenery with stones and rocks.
This type of scenery is often found from
the upper reaches to the mid-portion of a
river, a seaside, or high plains. Since it is
not possible to actually reproduce nature
in an aquatic plant layout, which has a lot
of limitations, we must express the image
of the scenery. It is important to observe a
lot of natural scenery and commit to our
memories the details regarding stones and
rocks. This information comes in handy
when selecting and arranging rocks, and
it is essential in creating a natural-looking
For example, many round river rocks are
found scattered in the upstream of a river.
Their locations and orientation change
with natural forces, such as the flow of the
Rocks are placed on the substrate, and soil is mounded between the
rocks. Substrate is mounded high on both the right and left sides of
the aquarium. Soil is poured between rocks liberally as well.
The appearance of the layout right after planting aquatic plants. The
key point is the meticulous planting around the rocks. Plants are
arranged carefully between rocks.

Government plans for a competition to “set the design standards” for its eco-towns programme have been delayed by at least a year amid mounting hostility to the 10 proposed developments.
The contest, announced last October by then housing minister Yvette Cooper, was set to involve “leading creative thinkers” in architecture and landscape design, as well as a so-called citizens’ panel. It was due to name winning proposals early this year.
But the competition, run by Cabe, the RIBA and the Prince’s Foundation, has now been mothballed until this October.

Oklahoma City University has earned recognition as a 2019 Tree Campus USA, an Arbor Day Foundation, for its commitment to effective urban forest management.
“Tree Campuses and their students set examples for not only their student bodies but the surrounding communities showcasing how trees create a healthier environment,” said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Because of Oklahoma City University's participation, air will be purer, water cleaner and your students and faculty will be surrounded by the shade and beauty the trees provide.”
The Tree Campus USA program honors colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. OCU achieved the title by meeting Tree Campus USA’s five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning projects. Currently there are 385 campuses across the United States with this recognition.
“We are honored to receive this distinction again from the Arbor Day Foundation,” said OCU President Martha Burger. The recognition holds extra special meaning for our students, faculty and staff this year after the loss of one of our beloved professors, Dr. John Starkey, who taught us to appreciate the grace and grandeur of all trees.”
The Arbor Day Foundation has helped campuses throughout the country plant thousands of trees, and Tree Campus USA colleges and universities invested more than $51 million in campus forest management last year. This work directly supports the Arbor Day Foundation’s Time for Trees initiative — an unprecedented effort to plant 100 million trees in forests and communities and inspire 5 million tree planters by 2022. Last year, Tree Campus USA schools collectively planted 34,515 trees and engaged 33,432 tree planters — helping work toward those goals.

How good does this look!
So we started with a very steep area which was very unusable and decided we wanted to create an outdoor fire pit and entertaining area & surround ourselves with a lush tropical garden… but where to you start?
With the Retaining Walls!!
We opted for the Adbri Windsor Block – for a number of reasons but mainly, they look great, are very cost effective and the most DIY friendly block you can buy! Rather than opt for a standard block colour we decided to create a unique colour scheme using 3 different blocks and staggering them while laying them and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We have used the Terracotta, Oatmeal & Sunstone Windsor Blocks.
Take a look at the handy ADBRI DIY retaining wall guide to help you get started.

2003 – Allegheny Spurge
Allegheny spurge, our native pachysandra, has many exceptional features that set it apart from the more familiar Asian pachysandras. One of the main differences can be seen in the foliage; it has mottled, rounded, gray-green leaves that are held in loose whorls. The leaves are generally evergreen, but may turn purplish and may exhibit some dieback in harsh winters. In early spring, the plants form dense spikes of pinkish-white flowers.
Allegheny spurge is generally disease and pest resistant, clump-forming rather than spreading, and is a great ground cover for part to full shade in organic, moist, well-drained soil.

Polymeric sand has emerged as a staple choice in the realm of hardscaping materials. Since its introduction into the market, its unique properties and versatility have been ideal for both paver bases and their filling joints – which is different for ordinary sand.
In today’s article, we will delve into the reasons why polymeric sand is a valuable addition to your outdoor projects and explore its benefits as a durable investment.
Read as well: How Long Do Pavers Last?
Why Use Polymeric Sand as a Paver Base
Polymeric sand serves as an excellent choice for paver bases due to its stability and durability, offering superior interlocking capabilities and ensuring a strong foundation for your pavers.
By filling the voids between pavers and creating a solid base, for example, polymeric sand effectively prevents shifting, settling, and weed growth, thereby increasing the longevity of any hardscaping installation. Furthermore, given its mixed composition, ant infestations are also less likely to happen, sparing you eventual maintenance that most homeowners must deal with.
Why Use Polymeric Sand in Between Paver Joints
On the other hand, the application of polymeric sand in between paver joints provides numerous advantages, too. Firstly, it acts as a powerful barrier against weed growth – considering how the sand’s granular composition inhibits weed germination, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and weed removal.
Additionally, polymeric sand enhances the stability and integrity of the paver structure by tightly locking the individual pavers together. This minimizes movement caused by heavy traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, or natural ground shifts, resulting in a longer-lasting and visually appealing hardscape.
What Are the Benefits of Polymeric Sand in Comparison to Regular Sand?
While regular sand works in a short-term capacity, it doesn’t create the powerful bond that locks the pavers in place. Regular sand can be easily washed away by rain and wind and it doesn’t keep weeds and mildew to grout between your pavers.
Therefore, polymeric sand is the sand of choice when working with pavers. As mentioned, it offers significant advantages as both a paver base and joint filler, sharing the following properties:
- Weed Resistance: Polymeric sand effectively prevents weeds from sprouting between paver joints, eliminating the need for herbicides and reducing maintenance efforts.
- Enhanced Stability: The interlocking nature of this product improves the overall stability and structural integrity of your floor, minimizing paver movement, preventing gaps, and maintaining an even surface.
- Durability: This type of sand is designed to withstand various weather conditions, including heavy rain, extreme temperatures, and freeze-thaw cycles. It remains intact and resilient, ensuring the longevity of your hardscape installation.
- Easy Installation: Applying polymeric sand is mostly a straightforward process. It involves sweeping the sand into the joints, dampening the surface, and allowing it to cure. The simplicity of installation saves time and effort compared to traditional methods like mortar, which can be used in combination with sand.
Choosing the Color of Polymeric Sand
By filling in the gaps between pavers with polymeric sand, you achieve a neat and uniform appearance – and the sand’s color options allow you to complement or contrast with the whole curb, enhancing the visual appeal of your outdoors.
Of course, when selecting the sand color, it is vital to consider your home aesthetic, as well as the overall design theme of your project. That said, you can achieve a cohesive and pleasing result with the following:
- Natural/Neutral Colors: These shades resemble natural sand or earth tones, such as beige, tan, or gray. Natural colors blend well with most paver types and provide a subtle and classic look to any project;
- Brown/Red Tones: Some polymeric sands are available in brown or reddish hues. These colors are often chosen to complement pavers with warm or earthy tones, creating a harmonious and cohesive appearance;
- Gray/Charcoal: Gray and charcoal shades are popular options for modern or contemporary hardscape designs. These colors can add a sleek and sophisticated touch to the overall aesthetic;
- Custom Colors: Certain manufacturers offer custom color options, allowing you to match the sand color precisely to your specific paver or design requirements. This option provides flexibility in achieving the desired look and style.

Surrounded by stunning mountains and calming fjords, the city of Bergen in Norway is a truly beguiling city. If that wasn’t enough, a new project is transforming a section of waterfront into a unique gathering point with a hiking trail, amphitheater and a floating swimming pool shaped like a starfish.
Called True Blue, the first phases of the waterfront project are slated to open in 2022, with the aim of the entire thing being finished by 2024. It will see a starfish-shaped sea pool being installed along with saunas, a kayak hotel and high diving boards. There will be an urban beach created for all kinds of sports such as skating and volleyball, while an underwater trail for divers will include ship wrecks and obstacles that can be explored.
“We were inspired by the special relationship between the city of Bergen and water. Bergen has more than 200 days of rain every year and here we are designing a beach. Right away we found out that you must love water to live here. So, we decided that everything about this project has to be about water. Rain, mist, cold mountain streams, the fiords and the sea.
