Why now is a great time to start landscaping your garden.
Have you spent the lovely summer sitting in your garden or looking out your window, thinking ‘I wish I could improve it’? There are some good approaches you can take to start. You could ask a designer to come round, but there will be an expense; even at the point you receive your design plan, it may still be difficult to visualise.
I prefer spraying my thoughts/designs, to scale, on my garden. With just a few tools, you can do this. You will need a can of spray paint, for spraying only on your grass (you can pick one of these up at most DIY stores); chalk, for marking on concrete areas; some string or string lines; a tape measure; some pegs and a straight edge. Some people will love the challenge of a project like this and enjoy every second spent out in the fresh air; others may feel this is way out of their depth and prefer to get help, even if, in part, to take the strain out of the project and deal with some of the hard landscaping.
You may already have a design in mind, but in any event, I would always recommend taking to the garden with the spray paint and chalk to get a feel of just how your garden would look. Once you are happy with the way it looks, the markings will stay there for a few days, which allows you to keep looking at it, either from the garden itself, or through your window, as you’re walking past. By following this method, it makes it easier to envision the size and scale of your patios, pathways, and flowerbeds, and adjust any areas that may need it. Undertaking the hard landscaping part of your design is generally the messiest part, so by doing it in the autumn/winter – while you’re not in the garden – is always the best idea.
This means, come spring, the difficult landscaping part will be complete, ready for the easy landscaping work. Using the planting to soften and finish the design will really set off your whole project, whether the plants are in pots or flower beds. Now here’s the best bit: once all the work is complete and that first beautiful day arrives, you’ll be able to sit out and enjoy that day, rather than thinking ‘I need to get started on this project’. You won’t miss out on the summer and being able to enjoy that outdoor living that we all relish so much.

A team from Hills Forrest International Golf Course Architects are leading a restoration and renovation project at the Oneida Golf and Country Club in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Oneida GCC is the oldest private club in Green Bay, and its course was originally designed by Stanley Pelcher.
In 2015, the club hired Hills Forrest to create a masterplan for its course. GCA caught up with Shawn Smith from the firm to find out how the project was coming along.
“We’re focusing on updating and improving the golf facilities with an emphasis on restoring the original classic architectural features that had been lost over the years,” Smith said.
The project team initially began with tee and practice facility improvements at the club back in autumn 2015.
“Aided by an aerial photograph from 1938, we began Phase I of a bunker improvement plan this spring, which consists of rebuilding their most problematic bunkers from a maintenance standpoint,” Smith said. “The large sand flash bunkers that were prone to washouts and contamination are being replaced with flat floored bunkers with fescue grass faces, consistent with the original design.”
In addition to the new bunkers, the team is expanding the greens out to their original dimensions and recapturing pin positions that Smith says have been lost for decades.
“In an effort to maximise the strategic value of the new bunkers, we are dumping the fairways directly into the leading edge of the bunkers and the collars of the greens roll over the slope into the bunkers,” Smith explained.
The first phase of the project will be completed later this month, with the second phase set to commence in the autumn.

Each summer resident would dream that his garden smelled sweet and pleased with a beautiful view for as long as possible. The scheme of a flower bed of perennials of continuous flowering will make it possible to realize this idea and throughout the summer enjoy the beauty and smell of planted flowers.
Flowers and Flowerbeds: Flower Bed
The highlights of a Beginner gardener, the question of how to create a continuous flowering flower bed can lead to a dead end, but experienced summer residents know that the secret of its creation is very simple. When composing a flower garden and selecting plants, you only need to know exactly what period they will bloom. Planting several varieties on one garden bed, which will gradually replace each other, you do not have to worry about that the site will look untidy or empty.
Some may think that this is a fairly simple job. Indeed, there is nothing easier – to plant flowers with different periods of flowering and just enjoy the work done. But at this moment it is important to consider all the nuances of such flower beds. First of all, take into account that for each plantation you need different care, excellent irrigation, lighting, soil condition and much, much more. Therefore, when planning mix borders, you need to select all those varieties that have similar requirements for care.
Plants for a flower bed of continuous flowering, as it became known, are chosen carefully, but even with 5-6 different plantations, it is possible to create an amazing and unique mix boarder. The main rule, which is important to observe both in the design of small beds, and large lawns, is more or less accurate counting flowering periods. Usually, it does not exceed a couple of weeks. In order to somewhat smooth the moment of wilting of some buds and the dissolution of others, some deciduous plants with high decorative properties should be placed on the bed.
In order to navigate it was easier, it is better to draw an approximate plan on the sheet with a mark of those kinds of flowers that will grow. So, if it is supposed to create a flower garden in a vast open area of the cottage, the scheme of the flowerbed of perennials of continuous flowering should look like this:
The center of the entire composition should be higher varieties of plantations. It is also permissible to place plants that do not blossom but create a decorative effect. However, it is not recommended to concentrate them in one place. It is better to place them on a bed evenly so that they grow in bouquets of flowers.
The closer to the edge, the shallower the plantations should be. At the end of the bed, you can even plant small plants spread on the ground, which are able to hide outlines and add visually natural features.
When selecting different shades, be sure to observe some combination of shades between each other. But at the same time, do not forget about the bright spots that are able to attract attention and place accents in this way, making even a simple flower bed unusual and bright.
If the placement of the flower garden is supposed to be done near any fence or fence, then tall plantations should be planted closer to it. Their length should also decrease in accordance with how far the mixed border will go to the site.
Types of Plants Used
Examples of flower beds of continuous flowering exist very different, depending on what effect you want to impart to the site.
Flower compositions usually have names that are consonant with the seasons.
As is known, many people associate springtime with the growth of the most delicate flowers. Therefore, it is important to provide flowers such as daisies, primroses, pansies, daffodils, crocuses, tulips, and lungworts on the flower bed. These plants bloom almost the very first and please all gardeners for at least a month. Gradually, by May, they are replaced by peonies, late species of tulips and daffodils, aquilegia, forcing, lupines, and aquilegia. By the end of this month, hyacinths, imperial hazel grouses, sweet peas, and other types of flowers are gaining strength.
Flowers and Flower Beds: The scheme of Growing Flower Beds of Continuous Flowering
Gradually replaced by one time of the year comes another and on the flowerbeds, you can find many more kinds of different colors. For example, you can plant the following plants:
Along with this, a flower bed of perennials of continuous flowering should also be composed of different species of daylilies and lilies, rudbeckias, monads, echinacea, and dark-blue flowers. Buds of these plants are capable of smelling sweetly throughout the summer, provided, of course, that they are properly cared for. By the way, the emerging empty places between them in the spring can be sown by annuals. So the usual riot of colors can be diluted with new types of plantations and create more interesting compositions.
As the gamut of summer colors fall and autumn comes, it’s time for new types of flowers. As you might guess, they already need more coolness than in the summer heat, so they perfectly adapt to this time.
Flower buds gradually begin to blossom buds of phlox, lobelia, chrysanthemum, cannon, Colchicum. With this, you can achieve some colors and re-flowering. For example, once again, beautiful fresh buds are capable of repairing roses, ageratum, carnations, delphinium, begonia. To do this, it is important immediately after fading flowers to remove faded petals, cutting them with garden scissors.
If you want to return the garden to the former bright colors, you need to find a place for planting seeds of sage, coreopsis, helenium, asters, and purifiers. Along with this, in the garden, up to the most frosts, plantations of ornamental onions, yarrow, Kraspedii are able to grow.
Ready-Made Schemes and Ideas
There are quite a few different types of flower beds of this kind. Talk is about the most spectacular. By the way, the flower bed of continuous flowering can turn out to be unique if you develop it yourself.
We Create an Illusion
For those summer residents who dreamed of decorating their plot with the construction of a fountain or a stream, but for some reason could not do this, there is the possibility of building an unreal, but very natural “dry” source.
It is important at work to take into account all the nuances in order to visually feel that the water is really running.
First of all, the bed should be laid with the help of elongated pebbles of various sizes. For more natural it can be painted in blue so that from a distance it really seemed like it was a liquid. Together with this, you can fill the “channel” of our brook with transparent blue beads.
Further, all the flowers are planted according to the proposed scheme:
Leaf-borer. It is not a flowering plant, but in this composition, it plays one of the key roles because it gives the stream a naturalness. If you think about it, you will remember that near many sources of similar species of grassy plantations. If the seed of this plant is not available, you can replace it with an ostrich. Both of them have the ability to impart a volume flower garden.
- Bearded irises are planted near it at the mouth of the brook.
- Opposite these kinds of flowers are planted lobelia.
- Similar to the required care creeping cheekbones is located next to the irises.
Next, you should provide a very small distance, on which there will be only pebbles. Immediately after them on the right side, you can land the bell of Dzhokhinsky. He is not too tall and will fit perfectly into the “channel” of our creek.
Hybrids can be placed directly next to them to ensure a smooth transition of hues.
On the left edge, directly opposite the bite, you should plant a plant that, in addition to bright flowers, will also have lush foliage. For example, Brunner large-leaf will be the best choice in this case.
On the opposite side of the plant, the shore will need to plant a Shilohvarnaya bryozoan. Her soft greens add the right shade and naturalness.
Complete the composition followed by a red creeping vitreous. This ground-covering plantation, which perfectly fits the entire composition.
The last plant will not bloom. It can be, as in the first case, a leaf-bark-bamboo or any other green plantation of this kind.
Composition “For the Impatient”
Each summer resident would like to see the fruits of his labors as soon as possible. Of course, with perennials, it is quite difficult to achieve a violent bloom in the year of disembarkation, but it is possible to do so. The most important rule when planting this mixed border is the mandatory choice of a well-lit side to ensure the plantations need for constant warmth. This mix border is best planted near the fences. The background, among other things, can also be coniferous plantations or a wall.
The scheme of a flower bed of perennials of continuous flowering, in this case, will look as follows:
- The background is decorated with different types of rod-roses. Here you can make a mix of different shades;
- A decorative sunflower is planted near them;
- Icelandic poppies are able to give great brightness;
- Not far from them there are gaillardia;
- A bright accent is a cardinal lobelia. It will run through most of the bed, like a red ribbon;
- Blue shades will add depth. This will require three varieties of colors. The first of them is a Cossack;
- Further, the bell of the Dukhkarsky is planted;
- From the edge will need to arrange a blue Catananha;
- Red spots will make a gravel;
- Cleansing can rejoice until the fall;
- Just up to the frost will please the geyser’s summer-house.
All these flowers are matched to each other as well as possible and need general care. Despite the ease of growing, you can get a really beautiful flower bed. If the site has a blind wall or an ugly structure, then with the help of this composition it can be easily concealed.
The Decoration of the Wicket
If your site has a gate with an arch above it, you can decorate it with flowers so that throughout the warm season the structure looks elegant and beautiful. In this flower garden, all plantations are selected in this way, so there will be no problems with this.
For the Best Understanding, You Should Divide the Entire Bed Into Tiers
The first will be located at the very bottom, which will make it possible to form creepers that are flattened over the soil. This effect can be achieved by using Pozharsky’s bell (20), a capillary Astrum (3), Pisanadrian pinnate (19), oak-grass sage (9), rock cleansing (2), scribe cleanser (5).
The middle level is based on symmetrically opposite to each other yellow yarrow (16 and 8). In the center on the left, you will need to arrange longer, in comparison with the first types of plantings, flowers. Here, long-leaved veronica (7), spicate lyrics (1) and rustic millet (6) are suitable. On the right in the center, it will be necessary to arrange plantations related to chamomile flowers. These can be rudbeckia shining (17), new Belgian (15) and pillow (18) asters.
The background will already be gigantic plants that can hide the fence and rise above it if it is small in size. Sunflower (10) decorates the flower bed with bright colors, rod-rose (9) will dilute the summer riot of colors with tender burgundy buds. On the right, glossy rudbeckia (14) and David’s Budleya (13) will look best.
Plants that will braid the arch must be of two colors to give the highlight of the entire composition. An excellent solution, in this case, is the use of a climbing rose (12) on the one hand and clematis of Jacquemin (11) on the other.
The main difference of this flower bed is its versatility. It is perfectly capable of decorating both stone and wood, forged and other types of fences.
For Partial Shade
Not every summer resident has the opportunity to arrange a flower garden on a sunny plot. The next option is suitable in the event that the garden is always present penumbra.
The main idea of this composition is a dilution of a dull landscape and a spectacular combination of bright plantations with lush greenery. An unusual combination of shades on the leaves has a function (1). It will please you throughout the warm period of time. Already in May, a splendid magnificent dicentra is blossoming (2), which in any case will look spectacular. In early June, bright yellow-red leaves of the red epimedium (3) begin to appear above the flower bed, and next to it there is one of the brightest accents – the muscular Lyriopa (4).
Beginning in May and almost until October, a special net pattern will create a geranium (5). Dilutes these shades with a gentle wizard (6). In the spring, the main focus of the mix border is the spring umbilical (7), and to replace it will gradually come no less soft and tender shades of violets (8).
Based on the diagrams and material from this article, and you will be able to form in the country house a beautiful composition of perennial flowers, which will please its flowering throughout the summer. Most importantly – follow all the necessary recommendations and stick to the rules of landing. After all, when making such a flower bed it is very important to select those plantations that will be able to get along side by side.

Bob Vila Radio: Removing Tree Stumps
Even a small tree can leave a formidable stump. When it comes to dealing with the landscape challenge presented by one or multiple tree stumps, homeowners have options.
At some point, you may need to remove a tree, whether because it’s too close to the house or because it’s dead or dying. Either way, you’ll have to deal with what remains once the tree is gone: the stump.
Listen to BOB VILA ON TREE STUMPS or read the text below:
Even a small tree can leave a formidable stump, making it difficult, if not impossible, to dig it out by hand. You can hire a service to grind the stump or rent a grinder and do it yourself, but how effective that is depends on the location of the stump.
If the tree was close to the house or in a confined space, you’ll need to use a small grinder, which doesn’t go very deep. The remaining stump and roots will remain underground and will continue to decay for years. Not only do you need to top off the area with new soil, you should also add some lime to keep your soil balanced, as the decaying stump turns the soil acidic.
Of course, another alternative is to leave the stump in place and use it as part of your landscaping. Put in vines or other climbing plants next to it and allow them to drape over the stump. Or if the center of the stump is hollow, you can fill it with fresh potting soil and plant annuals in it.

The first styling completed. Spaces have been created through which the jins can be seen and also for a Shari to be created on the twisting section of the lower trunk where it rises out of the pot. I make no apologies for the tree’s a little unkempt appearance. All the branch tips have extending strong new growth. The foliage that remains will ensure this tree recovers from the work carried out and continues to grow strongly. This is what it is…..a first styling!! We could manicure the foliage and create a much more pristine image making the transformation look much more impressive. But why??…..we remove too much greenery, we cut back the growing tips…….basically we weaken the tree, we set him back…..his future development will take longer while we wait for him to recover.It is not necessary to have a show image at this stage of the tree’s development. Ensuring that the tree remains strong and healthy will help us achieve our ultimate goal much more quickly.


Trees Will help Nation Fight Climate Change
A new initiative has been launched to tackle flooding across England by planting more trees. The Environment Agency has joined forces with the Forestry Commission for a scheme that supports woodland planting in areas across Yorkshire and the North-East at greatest risk of flooding and water pollution.
Woodlands for Water is the first program of its kind in England and aims to help landowners access grants and, with the assistance of forestry experts, plan new woodlands that will help mitigate downstream flooding and improve the quality of rivers.
The partnership has produced opportunity maps that show where woodland could be created to help with flood risk mitigation if those landowners are willing.
The Forestry Commission’s Richard Pow said: “Forests and the way that they are managed can have profound effects on water. Well-designed, located and managed forests help to protect water and the wide range of flora and fauna that depend on this important habitat.”
Trees also help cities manage surface water runoff and groundwater. They also help filter the air and shelter buildings from extreme heat, cold and wind.


Heritage Square, located in the heart of downtown New Canaan, is anything but ordinary. This beautiful mixed-use structure captures your attention the minute you set foot on Forest Street. The attention to detail in this project is second to none. One of the most unique features of this property is the rooftop courtyard. What really sets this apart is the fact that it is a "living" courtyard. Recover Green Roofs worked with Gatto Development to transform the common space for the luxury apartments above street level into a beautiful park setting. See how this was accomplished in the following video.

The Santa Ana River Parkway & Open Space Plan (SARP& OSP) is being developed by the California Coastal Conservancy’s Santa Ana River Conservancy
Program to help jurisdictions along the river corridor collaborate on a shared vision for the Santa Ana River Parkway. The plan stretches
through Riverside, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties.
The Open Space Plan will help jurisdictions along the river corridor work together to realize the vision of a regionally celebrated resource that
provides varied opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the river corridor along its entire length, while providing necessary
flood protection, drinking water supply, habitat continuity, and recreation, education, and health benefits.
Each county now has its own plan for finishing the trail in place and all are on track for completion by 2020. Jurisdictions were invited first to
submit information on existing and planned projects, and several hundred entries have since been submitted. In 2017 the Conservancy invited
the public to share their priorities for the Santa Ana River Parkway.
For more information on the Santa Ana River Parkway & Open Space Plan visit the Santa Ana River Conservancy

Use this comprehensive set of formulas to help you determine the quantity of building or landscape material you will need for your project. Most products are sold in cubic feet which is a measure of volume. Adding and subtracting rectangular, circular, and triangular volumetric measurements may assist you in planning efforts with your landscaping project. Volume calculations are necessary when using aggregate (rock), sand, soil, mulch, compost, and concrete. We’re happy to work with all types of clients, commercial contractors, professional landscapers, or do-it-yourselfers, on their landscaping projects. No project is too big or too small.
Landscape supplies tend to vary in depth requirements depending on the product and depending on the application. Keep in mind that some materials may compact more than others when estimating the amount of materials to order. Consult with us for a more detailed estimate of materials.
When you’re planning a project involving landscaping rock, a key question is how much material you will need.
Calculating accurately can save you money and headaches. You don’t want to order too little rock and not have enough to adequately cover your landscape. But if you order too much, you’ve wasted money—and wasted labor spreading it around.
There are two factors to consider when calculating the amount of landscape rock to order for your project:
- The size of the space you’re covering.
- How deep you want the coverage.
To calculate the size, measure the length and the width of your project area. Multiply those two numbers to come up with the square footage of your coverage area. So if your project is 18 feet long by 20 feet wide, your coverage area is 360 square feet.
Next, decide how deep you want your coverage. For most purposes, about 2 inches of material will be adequate. If you’re using materials that are themselves larger than 2 inches, then the depth will probably be the size of the rocks, that is, you’ll just want one layer of 3-8 inch rocks.
The amount of landscaping rock you’ll need depends partly on what size of rock or gravel you want to use. This chart gives you some general estimates of how large an area 1 ton of several different types of material will cover.
The following table is a general guide that may help you estimate the amount of product needed for common landscape projects.
|Product Type||Category||Coverage Area per 1 Ton|
|Flagstone||*2” minus||50 – 80 square feet|
|Flagstone||1 ½”||80 – 100 square feet|
|Flagstone||1 ¼” minus||110 – 140 square feet|
|Flagstone||1” minus||120 – 160 square feet|
|River Cobbles*||Large (6-12”)||30 – 40 square feet|
|River Cobbles *||Small (2-6”)||70 – 80 square feet|
*all-natural stone calculations are approximate due to variations in density and/or thickness
1728 cubic in. = 1 cubic ft.
27 cubic ft. = 1 cubic yard
144 square in. = 1 square ft.
9 square ft. = 1 square yard
1 ton = 2000 lbs.
1 acre = 43,560 sq. ft.
Use these charts to come up with the amount of material you’ll need. You’ll take the square footage you came up with earlier when you measured your project area, then divide it by the coverage area number in the table for the material you’re using.
So if you’re using recommended depth in the chart above, the basic formula you need is this:
L × W = Square footage of coverage area.
Square feet of coverage area ÷ coverage area per 1 ton = tons of rock needed.
Using this formula, you can see that if you’re looking to cover 360 square feet with 1”-3” size rocks, you’re probably going to need 4.5 tons. If you’re using smaller materials, say 3/4”-1”, you may need only 3.6 tons.
|Material||Suggested Depth||Coverage Area per 1 Ton|
|3”-8” rock||3”-8”||60 square feet|
|1”-3” rock||1”-3”||80 square feet|
|3/4”-1” screened gravel||2”||100 square feet|
|5/8”-1/2” screened gravel||2”||120 square feet|
|1/4″-3/8” screened gravel||2”||140 square feet|

What Is Hydroseeding and Straw Blowing?
HYDROSEEDING - THE FASTEST, EASIEST AND LOWEST COST METHOD TO GROW GRASS:
Hydroseeding is a one step application process. Wood and paper hydroseeding mulch, high-quality grass seed, tackifier and commercial grade fertilizer are mechanically mixed into a slurry and then hydraulically sprayed on a prepared soil area. The process is fast and with proper watering it quickly produces a beautiful lawn (click on our 'Photo Gallery' tab above to check out some examples of hydroseeding). Hillsides, banks and other areas that can be a problem with other seeding methods are much easier to do when hydroseeding. Hydroseeding is safe and non-toxic to kids, pets and the environment.
There are several reasons why hydroseeding makes an excellent choice for any new lawn:
- The new seed is suspended in a nutrient rich slurry and the contact of the seed with water in the spray machine instantly triggers the germination cycle.
- The hydroseeding mulch layer seals in moisture around the seed and holds the soil in place.
- The seed is applied at an ideal depth for excellent results.
- Hydroseeding can be accomplished in one step so it is an efficient use of time, especially on the end of a large building project where time is very valuable.
- Hydroseeding is very cost effective, especially when compared to laying sod. You can save up to 75% by hydroseeding your lawn instead of sodding.
STRAW BLOWING - WHEN ADDED EROSION AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL IS NEEDED:
Chautauqua Hydroseeding is committed to excellence in all of the seeding projects we undertake. Here in the northeast, we often have to accommodate a quickly changing weather forecast and while hydroseeding is an excellent way to promote seed germination and does not blow away in the wind or easily wash away in the rain, sometimes the ground is just too steep or the temperature does not fully cooperate with our seeding needs. To further protect your newly seeded property, Chautauqua Hydroseeding offers a straw blowing service to create ground cover and protection for your newly hydroseeded property.
Straw blowing is used for areas that require added eroson-control and extra protection beyond that of even hydroseeding. Straw blowing is done by mechanically spreading 100% organic chopped straw over newly hydroseeded areas. In addition to providing excellent erosion control, straw acts as an insulator and in the erratic spring and fall weather of the northeast, straw cover insulates and keeps the newly seeded area warm when the temperature dips. In the high heat of summer, straw cover acts as a protective cover material to keep the high temperatures from leeching the moisture out of the soil. Using a straw blowing machine, we chop, cut and spread straw to create uniform, insulating material designed to protect the area from erosion and offer additional protection against severe weather fluctuations.

I know that the Hall School really needs a new building–the old one is falling apart. So it was all approved by the city and the voters, and they are going to build it this summer. That is a good thing for our neighborhood. But the sad thing is that they are cutting three acres of trees to make room for the new building and a new road into the complex. This is right next to the walk I usually take each day–I go a few blocks over to the trail by the Capisic Brook, and then go round to the other side of Hall School to continue walking through another little woods. The brook trail hasn’t been disturbed, but the rest of it is practically gone.
It makes me sad that new development destroys these city forests, which offer so much habitat for critters, and beauty for city dwellers like me.
I understand and feel your sadness. Seeing healthy trees cut down brings me much anxiety and sorrow. My “tree connection” began when I was 7 and the landlord cut down a huge, gorgeous elm tree in our St. Louis backyard. I cried and cried.
Wow, that makes me want to cry too…

On July 13, members of Delaware County Council and other elected officials joined members of the County’s Parks and Recreation Board, Parks and Recreation Department, and Public Works Department at a groundbreaking for the future park adjacent to the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer’s Little Flower Nursing Home in Darby Township.
The as-yet named 33-acre park, referred to as simply “Little Flower” or “Little Flower Open Space,” will be the County’s newest park, providing much needed public green space for the local community.
The property of Little Flower once served as an encampment for British soldiers during the Revolutionary War and remains one of larger undeveloped tracks along the Great Minquas Path used in the pre-colonial beaver pelt trade between the Lenni-Lenape and European settlers. It has long provided the community with green open space, though not much accessibility to the public.
Recognizing the inherent natural beauty and historical significance of the location, Delaware County officials worked with the late State Rep. Nicholas Micozzie and community leaders and elected officials from Darby Borough, the Borough of Clifton Heights, Upper Darby Township, and the Borough of Collingdale to purchase the land in 2016, with help from State grants obtained with input from Natural Lands.
The County’s Planning Department then worked to create a park master plan, which included extensive public engagement of local citizens and officials. Residents strongly supported the creation of a park over the possible commercial development of the space.
This current phase of work — assisted with a generous grant in the amount of $300,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) — will allow for the creation of the park’s core infrastructure. JMC Contractors will complete the construction of the Phase 1 improvements informed by drawings from the Engineer of Record, Pennoni.
Work to be done this year will include:
Installation of a new driveway entrance
New ADA compliant parking
Installation of a paved walking trail
Improved path into the woods to an overlook
Creation of a community garden
The addition of shade trees
Stormwater management features


Choosing the right material for your patio is not a decision to be taken lightly. In fact, it’s advisable that you take your time, do your research and really consider your options, in order to find the perfect surface material for your patio.
Of course the location and size of your patio, as well as your budget, are all important factors to think about when choosing your surface material. And to help you make the right choice, we’ve got a few of the best surface options for your patio right here...
Block pavingBlock paving is versatile, low-maintenance and looks great. If the area you want paving is fairly large then you should opt for larger slabs in order to keep things to scale. As choosing huge slabs in a smaller area can make your patio appear smaller than it is. This type of surface material comes in a good range of styles and colours, and can be customised to your own specifications. It only requires some soap and water to keep clean, and it’s simplistic design is guaranteed to improve the overall appearance of your home.
Resin bound is hugely popular for patios, as it’s heavily resistant to UV light, meaning the surface's colour won’t break down over time. It’s also extremely durable and resistant to wear, so it’ll keep its aesthetic appeal for years to come. Thanks to the mix of materials used to create this type of surface, it’s also highly porous. Allowing water to easily run off, which prevents damage from frozen water and benefits nearby plants and vegetation.
Imprinted concrete has been growing in popularity with homeowners over the past few years. Especially those who want a decorative and professional finish for their patio, which is also completely resistant to weeds. This type of surface won’t sink like other paving methods, and as the name suggests it’s available in a rich variety of colours and patterns. Plus, the surface can be strengthened for a higher weight tolerance and it’s virtually maintenance free too.

It’s is the most amazing time of year and it’s impossible to not feel happy in this environment.
Our border along the fence is now an absolute feast for the eyes with splashes of colour and different shapes and sizes of plants filling it out. The best yet is that there is still more to come as most of the bulbs we planted won’t come up until July or August so there will be another boost of colour them too.
There are two batches of flowers in the border that I absolutely love because they just catch your eye from anywhere in the garden. The first ones are the little red flowers you can see, they are just so striking and the second ones are the variegated ones with the yellow and purple petals.
Every time I look at the flowers either in our garden or in other folk’s gardens I just can’t believe the patterns and colours there are. Sometimes I feel like someone has painted them. They are just too amazing and intricate and it wows me that there little flowers are just like that with no interference from humans.
We also have the most fantastic addition to the garden this year; we’ve sparkled up the beer garden a bit with an amazing new flower bed and baskets around the picnic bench. Lots of colour and pretties for us to look at and of course lots of bee friendly flowers to help our little friends.
The little bunches of purple flowers in the flower bed will spread and cascade out the front of the bed. I can’t wait.
I have to say it; this is probably the best beer garden in the world. ;0)
It’s important though that we don’t forget that the garden is more than just a gloriously eye catching colour pallet. Our veggies have joined in the spring party and although we are around a month behind on last year, things are looking green.
I’ve just had to add the first layer of soil over the tatties as they had begun sprouting and in the beds, the beetroot and carrots are just starting to poke through.
The sprouts and broccoli are monsters; I’m quite excited about the sprouts!
I’m looking forward to our own sprouts from the garden as I’m a bit of a sprouts fan. Mmmm sprouts.
I think all in all we can say that spring is definitely here and the garden is just bursting with life.
Next weekend is a back holiday weekend so we’re already hoping for some decent weather so that we can enjoy our beer garden and take advantage of all the hard work we’ve done.
After all, the point of it is so that we can enjoy our outdoor environment.
With any luck we’ll be roasting bratwurst on the BBQ and drinking some nice craft beer while we talk about how pretty things are.
Ah such a hard life.


Other than for aesthetics, the plants include such functions as “micro-climatic amelioration, engineering and wildlife benefits,” according to ISHS. The landscaping can improve erosion control and reduce stormwater pollution.

* The complete garden will be on look as a whole. There is no room for hidden paths or even division in to individual rooms.
A decorative garden is one that focuses on plants that will have the largest visual impact per square foot without any consideration for edible, or in some other way functional plant. A functional garden on the other hand focuses on maximizing the yield per square foot of plants that can be eaten or used in some other productive manner (i.e. Aloe Vera for burns). Finally, a hybrid garden focuses on a cross between these two different concepts. It tries to produce a high yield of useful plants, while at the same time creating visual interest within the garden space.
First, a person needs to consider what the purpose of the garden is: Decorative, functional, or a hybrid.

Landscape lighting is so versatile and the options are endless. Whatever your dream landscape looks like, outdoor lighting can bring your vision to life one light at a time. While there are so many options, there are a few tried and true ones that lighting designers turn to again and again. One of the most popular options being uplighting.
What Is Uplighting?
Outdoor uplighting is a simple lighting technique that places fixtures low to the ground and angles them upward. This casts light from below, creating an identifiable style of illumination.
What Is Uplighting Used For?
Uplighting is commonly used to achieve various effects and can be placed almost anywhere.Walking your property with a lighting designer can help to identify which areas of your home would best benefit from an led landscape uplight.
It commonly is used against walls and other large surfaces. Angling the light upwards against a wall creates a flush of light. This can also create interesting shadowing and shapes on the surface, and capture movement by utilizing the lighting techniques of shadowing and silhouetting.
Uplighting is used to light up trees and shrubbery in front of walls, or standing alone. This where shadowing is particularly effective as it can reflect the swaying of trees and plants in the wind. This can be very mesmerizing and soothing.
It is also used to draw attention to architectural features and statues or water features.
Uplighting can create a dramatic effect or a soft glow. It depends on the angle of the fixture and the type of bulb. It also depends on the placement.
Outdoor uplighting is often used for weddings or other events, but homeowners use it frequently for their permanent lighting designs too.
Different Types of Uplights
There are various interchangeable outdoor uplights. The most commonly used type of LED uplight is the MR16 fixture, which measures 51mm across the surface of the bulb. It’s the longest running 12volt LED outdoor lighting fixture on the market and has been the most studied and tested in the field. From accenting a house, to hitting a small statue, the MR16 outdoor lighting fixture can do just about anything.
The Par36 fixture is another great type of 12volt LED outdoor lighting fixture measuring 114.3mm across. Before halogen, the Par36 fixture was the industry standard for outdoor lighting uplights. Because of this, it seemed to fall behind because the technology and research were not around as early as the Mr16 fixture. For the early years of LED landscape lighting, using a Par36 LED bulb was expensive and not as reliable as using an MR16. It has caught up in recent years and professional outdoor lighting companies have begun to use these fixtures again. The Par36 lights can be used for a variety of different functions just like the MR16. By using different types of wattage and degree spread, the Par36 fixture can light up a house, tree, small shrub, or bush.
The MR11 LED outdoor light is small, roughly 35mm across. Professional outdoor lighting companies should use this light when lighting up small slivers of a house, not to throw light into the windows, or when the spread of light needs to be tight. The MR11 is still a beam just as the MR16 and Par36, but will only be used in very specific places because of its size. If you are curious as to what uplight to use for your house, get in touch with our professional outdoor lighting designers. We can work with you to create the lighting plan of your dreams.
