When you choose to purchase a home in the Maggie Valley or Waynesville area through Smoky Mountain Retreat, you will have the most beautiful scenery surrounding you. All of the beauty around is provided by nature. However, when you purchase a house in Haywood County you have to think about being the artist of your own scenery, meaning your yard.
Study Your Yard
Before you do anything to your yard take time to study it! Take note of how rocky, damp or dry the soil is, or if there are a lot of roots. Make sure to study the sun patterns to see which areas of your house will receive the most sunlight. This will help you decide which plants will thrive best in different areas of your yard. Most yards in the mountains have some level of slope. You should study the level of slope in your yard to decide which plants will root deep enough to survive on a slope, and which you should put on a level area of your yard.
Understand the Sun
Sunlight is, of course, on of the most important aspects when you are planning your garden. It is surprising in the mountains how much this factor needs to be considered to establish how much sunlight you will get at different times. Some plants may only need as little as three hours of sunlight while there are several others which require six hours. If you plant foliage that needs ample sunlight in a shady area of your yard, you are going experience less flowers and a shorter life span.
Accentuate Do Not Distract
The landscaping of your yard should help to accentuate the natural beauty around you. Your house and yard should fit in with the surroundings. You do not want it to stick out like a sore thumb. Choose plants natural to the area. Do not try to experiment with plants that are not native to the area or try to bring another area’s plant life to the mountains.
The same is true when setting up your outdoor area. If you have decided on a walkway, waterfall or fire pit, choose from materials that fit in with the surrounding area. Stone walkways, retaining walls, and wooden patios all have the same color pattern, and blend in well with the beauty surround you.
Again, when you are choosing the plant life in your yard look at w
hat is native to the region. These plants are going to be the most virile, helping your money go a further. Because they are native to the area, they are able to survive the cold winters. You have to be careful not to introduce new plants into the mountainous ecosystem. These plants don’t fit and could be harmful to the fragile balance of nature. Think about Wisteria. You have to carefully maintain a plant such as Wisteria. If left to its own devices it will suffocate everything in sight. To ensure you have chosen the correct plants, check with your local nursery.
One last thing you want to take into account when planning your landscaping is, what is beneath the ground. Your yard is not just bare land; it is land bordering a home. This means it contains a lot of different lines underground used to serve your home. When you buy real estate with Smoky Mountain Retreat we are able to give you a full breakdown of where everything is located underground. This means we can show you were the sewer system, gas lines, electrical lines, water pipes, and telephone lines are specifically located. We save you the step of having to located your local utility companies.

As the winter season settles in, it’s easy just to put outside work on the back burner. But in fact, because you don’t have to actually deal with landscaping yet, winter is the perfect time to start planning for the spring, so that you don’t end up feeling behind before you even get started.
So with that in mind, five ways to spruce up your backyard for the spring, instead of just twiddling your thumbs all winter, are to put in some garden structures, make a plan of attack for edging, start planning flower gardens, get set up to design your fences, and use a few decorations tastefully and sparingly.
Put In Some Garden Structures
Putting in garden structures specifically is something that you can do to get ready for spring. Because they are technically already constructed, and all you have to do is put them in, there really isn’t a whole lot of outside work to do. And the benefit of getting them in before spring actually hits is the fact that whatever growth occurs will be around the structure that’s already there, because you had the foresight to put it in early!
Make a Plan of Attack for Edging
One of the most irritating activities you’ll have to take part in when spring hits is taking care of edging around things like patio stones, sidewalks, driveways, or anywhere else that turf hits more solid materials. But, if you take some tips for edging and just move them up a few weeks, so that you’re dealing with those rough edges at the end of winter, then you’ll feel like you’re ahead of the game.
Start Planning Your Flower Gardens
And what better time to start planning your flower gardens then when there is a completely blank slate? Even if it’s cold, even if it’s snowing, spot out where you want your flower gardens to be. By doing this, you might even do some general clutter cleanup in those areas to prevent yourself from having to do it all at the same time later.
Set a Design for Fencing
And fencing can be a beautiful part of any backyard, so start planning during the winter seasons for any changes or additions that you’re going to be making in the spring. Whether it’s a decorative fence, a practical one, a fence to keep in animals, or a privacy fence, if you establish your plan of action earlier, you’ll have a higher rate of success.
Use Decorations Tastefully
And finally, there are winter decorations that you can put up, even post Christmas and New Years. If you’re backyard seems barren, add a few tasteful mirror balls and it will brighten things right up!

Kimachi Stepping Stone, Japanese Stepping Stone - Stepping stones, Tobi-ishi (飛石) in Japanese, are an essential element of the traditional Japanese garden. In contrast to regular garden paths, walking on Stepping stones requires more concentration. This has a positive influence on the way in which people experience the garden. Additionally, people cannot walk side by side on a path of Stepping stones, eliminating potential distractions. In a tea garden, this also makes sure that people do not arrive at the exact same time at the tea house before the start of the tea ceremony.
Stepping stone paths were introduced by Sen no Rikyū, a very famous historical figure who is regarded as the founder of the tea ceremony. The original idea behind Stepping stones was to keep the Zōri, traditional Japanese sandals, clean and dry when walking through the garden.
This Stepping stone can beautifully be applied at the beginning, end, or split of a path of Stepping stones. Next to this, it can also function as Mae-ishi, the Stepping stone in front of the Chōzubachi in a traditional Tsukubai arrangement.
Kimachi stone is a authentic type of Japanese sandstone native to Kimachi near Lake Shinji in Matsue city, Shimane prefecture. It is rough in texture and highly absorbent, making plants like moss easily grow on its surface. The stone type is famous for its use in Izumo Stone lanterns, that are named after neighboring city Izumo, where they are made.

If you haven’t heard of Solo Stove, check this sleek stainless steel fire pit that thanks to a signature airflow design gives you a smokeless fire. Yes, that’s right - no more musical chairs avoiding smoke! They come in different sizes, most are portable, which is great for moving it around your yard, bringing it to a beach, a friend’s house or camping!
Of course, once you have a cool fire pit, you want an equally cool space around it. That’s why Tilly partnered with Solo Stove for a fun virtual event on designing a fire pit space in your yard. These tips could apply to any space and style, so here were some of our key takeaways on creating a fire pit nook for your yard:
Things to Consider when Creating a Fire Pit Nook for Your Yard:
Furniture for Your Fire Pit Nook
- Movable furniture makes it easier for people to find their comfort zone around the fire, while fixed seating ensures people stay at a safe distance.
- A mix of movable and fixed seating is a great option for families.
Location of Your Fire Pit
- Think about how you and your family want to use your space. Do you want the fire pit close to the home for easy access or further away so it feels more natural and secluded?
Creating a Style for Your Fire Pit
Tilly designs to your specific garden style and Solo Stoves are very versatile! Here’s a breakdown on how to get different style fire pit nooks for your yard with a Solo Stove, or any fire pit:
Ensconce your Solo Stove with a circular wooden bench or modern lounge furniture to define a clean, modern backyard space. Take it even further by utilizing big, precast concrete pavers with gravel joints to create a bold walkway.
Irregular-shaped flagstone pavers filled with gravel in between evoke the scene of an inviting cottage in the woods. Bring even more comfort to your space with tight plantings of perennial herbs, such as rosemary or tarragon that can easily be added to the food you’re grilling.
Think of adirondack chairs on the beach -- and just like that, you’ve got a classic style that’s been popular for over a century. Throw the chairs around your fire pit and relax!
An eclectic style is the easiest to adopt in your backyard. For this, just pick pieces you like, no matter the style, and they will go together! You can even blend playfulness and functionality by putting your Solo Stove fire pit inside an enclosure for a more interactive experience.
Many create a fire pit area using gravel. A tropical design is the same, but using sand instead! Top it off with palm trees and big umbrellas!

The General Manager of the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK), Mrs. Adetoun Popoola, has said that Lagosians have the responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect the ecosystem to support the health and wellbeing of all, promising the Agency’s readiness to continuously promote healthy living through landscaping and beautification of fallow spaces.
Mrs. Popoola stated this on Wednesday at RF Gardens, Ikoyi, during an interactive session with the media to discuss activities of the Agency as well as the results of its various collaborations with the private sector on the beautifications of parks and gardens across the city.
According to her, the mandate of LASPARK is to create a greener, healthier Lagos through the improvement of contaminated sites, the establishment of Parks and Gardens as well as planting and maintaining of trees across the State to mitigate the effect of climate change.
She explained that there are numerous positive effects of greenery in urban environments, noting that apart from beautifying the State, the green infrastructure also serve as leisure spots and recreational centres, where Lagosians can take time off after their busy schedule to relax and enjoy nature.
Her words: “We realise that people need to relax, there is a lot of chaos in the land, our lives are very busy and in the midst of all the day to day challenges, we need to create time to have fun with friends and families in any of the Parks that are ideal for relaxation”.
“Aside from leisure and recreational purposes, these parks and gardens can also be hired for various social and corporate events. Schools can also have their excursions at these Parks.” she added.
The General Manager outlined some of the notable Parks in the State such as Ndubisi Kanu and Johnson Jakande Tinubu Parks in Alausa, Ikeja; Muri-Okunola Park, Victoria Island; Badagry Park; Dr. Abayomi Finnih Park, Oregun; Ikorodu Park, Ipakodo; Rafiu Jafojo Park, Egbeda; Tunji Braitwaithe Park, Ikoyi; Gani Fawehimi Park, Ojota and Infinity Park at Jibowu.
While informing that the Agency has planted over seven million trees in addition to establishing about 10 parks and over 200 gardens across the five divisions of the State, Mrs. Popoola maintained that trees are very vital to the environment, stressing that they provide oxygen, limit carbon in the atmosphere, reduce air pollution, absorb stormwater and excessive rainfall, thereby helping to maintain healthy soil to prevent erosion and flood.
She maintained that the achievement of a healthy and sustainable environment remains the focus of the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led administration as encapsulated in the T.H.E.M.E.S Agenda.
“Health and Environment are closely related, and human wellbeing is determined by the health of the environment. Chances of diseases spreading are reduced when green infrastructures are put in place and well maintained. We need to do a lot of advocacy to keep sensitising the public on the benefits of trees while continuing to encourage everyone to plants trees to beautify their environment and ensure compliance with the greening law”, she enthused.
Speaking further on the achievements of LASPARK under the current administration, Popoola said the Agency has been able to take over vacant and contaminated spaces across the State and transformed them to more aesthetically pleasing locations, listing some of these sites to include Outer Marina, Abalti Barracks and Onipanu on Ikorodu Road, Alaka in Surulere, Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way and Oba Akinjobi Way GRA, Ikeja, Maternal and Child Centre, Badagry, Lagferry Terminal, Amuwo-Odofin, Fela Monument Garden (Triangular Lay-by Opebi junction) Ikeja and Holy Child College, Obalende.
Noting that LASPARK will continue to work hand in hand with law enforcement agencies in the State to dislodge miscreants from open spaces and prosecute residents who commit environmental infraction, the General Manager acknowledged that the government alone cannot transform the city, hence the agency has engaged partners like rotary clubs, lion clubs, banks and some other private entities to partner, adopt and convert spaces to economically viable sites.
“The process of adopting open space is seamless. All the prospective partners need to do is to write us, tell us the purpose for which they need the open space for, present a design after which their applications are reviewed and approved”, she asserted.

Situations When You Should Hire An Arborist Tree Service
As a homeowner, you have to hire an arborist tree service provider at a certain point in your life. The service provider can prune the trees, cut them down, or simply inspect them. To help you out, here are situations when you have to hire the service provider:
Too long tree branches
If the tree branches are too long to the extent that you can notice it, it’s time to hire a professional to trim the tree. Long branches not only make it hard for you to walk under the trees, but they also put you and your family at risk in the event the branches fall. The branches can also fall onto your property and damage it.
You should hire a professional to trim the tree. This will give you peace of mind as you know that the branches can’t fall on your building or scratch the house, car, garage or electric wires.
The tree is ugly
One of the primary roles of the tree is to improve the look of the house. If you notice that the tree is ugly, it’s time to hire a professional to shape it. Some of the ways that the tree can be ugly if it has started to lean, lopsided, or has too many branches in one area or looks sparse in other areas.
The tree services provider you hire should shape the tree and restore the original shape. The professional can also give the tree a new shape that complements the look of your house.
Presence of dead branches
Presence of dead branches is a sign of a diseased tree. In addition to the dead branches putting you and your family at risk, the disease can spread to the other parts of the tree and kill it. The disease can also spread to other trees putting all of the trees in your home at the risk of drying up.
You should hire an arborist services provider to inspect the tree and get rid of the dead branches. The professional should also find out whether the disease can spread to the other trees. If possible, the service provider should administer the right treatment.
These are some of the situations when you need to hire a professional tree care expert. When you are hiring the expert, ensure that he/she is highly experienced and certified to work in your local area. For you to have an easy time working with the contractor, ensure that he/she has a great personality.

How A Garden Space Could Influence Your Overall Moods
The garden space is something that a lot of homeowners wish they could have, but this is not always possible. If you are lucky enough to have a garden space of your own, do you look after it? If the answer is no, then this could be having an effect on your mood without you even knowing it. Here, we are going to look at how a garden space could influence your overall mood.
Looking for a range of future paving slabs, the cost-effective 20 mm outdoor porcelain paving slabs can transform your patio. the porcelain paving slabs are full colored body tiles, they are sintered glazed porcelain tiles made of natural clay with high-tech digital printing colors and texture on the surface. The porcelain paving slabs have a non-porous surface so they’re low maintenance. Because they’re lowest water absorption, you don not need to worry about discoloration due to water, mould, or mildew, so they are much better resistance to water stains impregnating the surface. They also resist chipping, scratches, and furniture marks. In contrast to natural stones, there’s no need to worry about sealing, fading, or splinters. Just jet-wash with water occasionally. Grey porcelain paving is most popular among all colors.
One of the ways that a garden space can help to boost your mood is because you can design your own personal sanctuary. There are a number of ways that you can make your garden perfect for you and your family, particularly if you refresh your garden with composite decking. This will create an individual space for you and your family to sit, relax and soak up the sun. This relaxing space can also be used to host number barbeques and other fun activities for the whole family, giving it a new lease of life and improving your mood.
In addition to adding a decking, there are also several other additions such as hammocks and canopy’s that you can incorporate. Not only does this allow you to soak up the sun, but it also encourages you to use the space much more often. Your mood can also be improved by adding a pond or a water feature as the relaxing sound of the water helps to relieve stress and maintain a positive way of thinking. This is also great for the family as you will be able to look after the fish together.
When creating a garden space in your home, it can take time and because of this, you become emotionally invested in making it the best that it can be. If you have spent hours on a flower bed and adding items to your garden, you will be proud of it. If you have it looking the way you want it to, you are then more likely to spend time there and share it with your friends and family. This then improves the mood as you will be making memories with your friends and family.
A garden space is also perfect for hobbies such as gardening or even painting. By creating a space that is well looked after, you are then allowing yourself additional space to partake in your favourite hobbies. Whether this is finding new plants to grow or even painting the surrounding landscapes, a perfect garden space is likely to make you feel more motivated to do the things you love. It is also important to look after your plants during the winter too, ensuring that the grass is in the perfect condition for when the spring and summer season rolls around.
However you decide to decorate your garden, it is important to ensure that it perfectly reflects you and your personality. Whether this is creating a flower bed of all your favourite flowers or adding a seating area for you and your family and friends, the choice is completely up to you. How will you make your garden space your own?

My wife, Cindy, and I love to escape the hustle and bustle while sitting around our fire pit on chilly nights. It’s so relaxing, and it feels like a little getaway in our wooded backyard. The flickering flames and embers can become mesmerizing, and if you grow tired of looking at the fire, you can gaze up at winter’s bare tree limbs reaching for the twinkling stars. It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors after dark.
Many of famous Danish landscape architect Jens Jensen’s landscape designs in the early and mid-1900s included stone seating walls encircling a fire pit. He called them “council rings”—or, when installed in a children’s garden, “story rings.” He said the seating circles invite people to share ideas, stories, and songs, while also sharing an experience in nature.
Outdoor Fireplaces vs. Fire Pits
There is no denying that outdoor fireplaces look great, but they’re usually expensive to build, take up lots of room, and lose most of their heat up the chimney. However, one great thing about the outdoor fireplace is the chimney captures most of the smoke, sending it high above so you won’t smell like a campfire at the end of the evening.
On the other hand, fire pits are fairly inexpensive depending on the size and material you choose. Since they are set low to the ground, they allow you to get your feet next to the flames and really feel the warmth, but smoke can be a problem, especially on nights when the wind is finicky.
You can also construct an in-ground fire pit using concrete block, stone, or brick. It just depends on the location and the amount of money you want to spend as to what works for you and your landscape.
Make sure your fire pit is positioned away from low overhanging tree limbs. Also, make sure it’s a safe distance away from your home or any wooden structures such as a deck or fencing (safe is at least 10 feet.) Fire pits should be placed on concrete, brick, stone, or gravel surfaces. Never leave fires unattended and make sure they’re extinguished before leaving them. Always watch small children around the open flames and avoid burning during drought or windy conditions.
According to the American Society of Landscape Architects, outdoor fireplaces or fire pits are the No. 1 requested landscape design feature. So like the many generations before us, gather around the warmth and light of a fire with family and friends. Don’t forget the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars to make s’mores and rekindle childhood memories.

A terrace is a place that is not only comfortable but also striking. Find out how you can enhance it even more with accessories and decorations
For a terrace to look truly stunning, it is a good idea to decorate it a little. And nothing is better than flowers and other potted plants to bring it to life. If you want your patio to look different every year, you can choose seasonal plants. Begonias and geraniums are the most popular choices, but petunias, heliotropes, verbenas and lantanas are also available. These plants bloom long and profusely and are very attractive. Typical bedding plants such as pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots or nasturtiums look nice in pots. You can also opt for perennial plants such as conifers and shrubs. All kinds of perennials, coniferous shrubs such as spruce or hemlock, deciduous shrubs such as azaleas and evergreen boxwood or climbing plants such as ivy or climbing hydrangea work best in pots. An interesting solution is also to arrange a small garden on the terrace, planting herbs, lettuce or tomatoes in pots.
In addition to plants, it’s also a good idea to choose decorative ornaments, such as ornamental pots or even eye-catching watering cans, which can become decorative in themselves. Extremely fashionable recently became the pot head, resembling its design of sculptures. This unique shape is sure to delight everyone.
A comfortable seating area is also useful on a terrace. But why settle for a classic armchair when you can choose a much more interesting hanging armchair. This rocking piece of furniture is sure to become your favourite place to relax. You can choose an armchair that looks like a woven wicker basket or a slightly smaller Brazilian model that feels like a hammock. Be careful though – it’s so comfortable you might fall asleep!
Another great option for the terrace are also deck chairs. With a bit of willpower and a few design ideas, you can transform your terrace into a private relaxation zone. A lounger with a cushion and a soft mattress or deck chairs with a canopy are just a few suggestions to make your lazy afternoon even more relaxing. Classic fabric models will make you feel like you’re on vacation by the sea.
Lighting can also be a small but very effective decoration for your patio. How do you choose it? First of all, make sure that the lighting consists of several lamps. This makes it easier for you to create an atmosphere that suits your needs at any given moment – one for dining, one for playing, and one for relaxing. Some lamps should be placed on the facade and also around the terrace. Solar lamps, for example, are perfect for this purpose. If the terrace is roofed, you can also install pendant lamps or plafonds above the table. Spotlights can also provide interesting effects. Use them to illuminate your terrace plants. Remember, however, that lamps should match each other, so it’s best to choose them from one collection.

Habitat Enhancement Projects at Deer Pond Farm
Songbird Habitat: Lady Bird Trail Plantings
Building on other wildlife habitat enhancement projects at Deer Pond Farm sanctuary, we have dedicated a half-acre area to supporting autumn migrating songbirds along the Lady Bird Trail. Invasive shrubs have been mechanically removed and replaced with a suite of native shrub species possessing autumn-ripening fruits that have complementary fat, carbohydrate, and energy contents to meet birds’ refueling needs during their autumn migration. In addition, we expanded an existing small patch of Eastern White Pine trees with plantings of Eastern Red Cedars to provide safe overnight cover for roosting birds in all seasons.
The following plants have been installed: nine Arrowwood Viburnums (Viburnum dentatum), six Silky Dogwoods (Swida amomum), six Red-Osier Dogwoods (Swida sericea), six Gray Dogwoods (Swida racemosa), and three Eastern Red Cedars (Juniperus virginiana).
The project site is easily accessible to sanctuary visitors and serves as a demonstration site for specific habitat enhancement techniques as well as a popular stop for birdwatchers and a point of interest during our guided hikes and nature walk programs. This area shows visitors how they can also enhance their backyard habitats.
This project has been made possible through a Connecticut Ornithological Association grant awarded in 2020.
Habitat enhancement in progress: overcoming insect damage and creating pockets full of 1000+ plants
In 2019, two grants were awarded to Deer Pond Farm to enhance birding habitat. The Hollis Declan Leverett Memorial Fund and the Robert F. Schumann Foundation provided funding for planting and purchase of meadow wildflowers, shrubs and small trees to increase diversity and abundance of birds and other wildlife.
The Connecticut Audubon Society developed a three-acre site within their Deer Pond Farm sanctuary in Sherman, thanks to a $10,000 matching grant from the Hollis Declan Leverett Memorial Fund, Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee. The new habitat replaces a grove of dead and dying white ash trees that succumbed to an invasive insect, the emerald ash borer.
The Hollis Declan Leverett Foundation funds also covered the development and installation of permanent interpretive signs. These highlight ecological attributes of the area, and educate visitors about how they also can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife.
The project location is at a spot where several trails converge, making it easily accessible to the preserve’s visitors and a top destination for hikers and birdwatchers. The habitat enhancement work builds on a pollinator garden and invasive plant species management in other sections of Deer Pond Farm.
“This project represents an amazing opportunity to attract desirable birdlife, return native vegetation to the site, and to engage our visitors,” said Cathy Hagadorn, Director of Deer Pond Farm. “We are honored to have Hollis Declan Leverett Memorial Fund as our partner to improve native bird habitats in western Connecticut.”
The Robert F. Schumann Foundation bolstered the project with a $13,000 matching grant. “The Schumann Foundation’s partnership is a true endorsement of our efforts to create a top birding destination in Connecticut,” said Cathy Hagadorn, Director of Deer Pond Farm. “By enhancing the habitat value for birds within the area, this project will provide improved food and shelter access for year-round birds, and increase abundance and diversity of overwintering and migratory bird species.”
Earth Tones Native Plants from Woodbury designed, installed and provided nearly 200 shrubs and trees, just over 850 perennial wildflower plugs representing a total of nearly 60 plant species.
Connecticut Audubon Society’s mission is to conserve Connecticut’s environment through science-based education and advocacy focused on the state’s bird populations and their habitats. Deer Pond Farm is our newest and largest sanctuary at 850 acres.
Hollis Declan Leverett Memorial Fund is named in honor of Hollis Declan Leverett, an avid birder, who died prematurely as a young adult. The foundation was created by his parents, Hollis M. and Helen E. Leverett, in his memory.
The Robert F. Schumann Foundation was established by Mr. Schumann out of his beliefs that the environment is essential to sustain the future of the planet,that education is essential to solve many quality of life issues for society, and that arts and cultural programs offer society hope and the ability to dream.

Are you looking for the perfect addition to your outdoor space? Look no further than Sam’s Gazebo! With its elegant design and sturdy construction, Sam’s Gazebo is the ideal choice for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your backyard.
When it comes to selecting the perfect size for your Sam’s Gazebo, there are a few factors to consider. Determining your space requirements, considering the gazebo’s functionality, and evaluating different size options will help you make an informed decision.
Determining Your Space Requirements
The first step in choosing the right size for your Sam’s Gazebo is assessing the available space in your outdoor area. Measure the dimensions of the area where you plan to install the gazebo and take note of any obstructions such as trees or shrubs. This will give you a clear understanding of how much space you have to work with.
Keep in mind that you’ll want some extra room around the gazebo for walking and maneuvering comfortably. It’s also important to consider whether you’ll be using additional furniture or accessories inside the gazebo, such as seating or a dining set. Taking these factors into account will ensure that you select a size that fits both your space and functional needs.
Considering the Gazebo’s Functionality
Next, think about how you intend to use your Sam’s Gazebo. Will it primarily serve as an outdoor entertainment area? Or maybe it’ll be a tranquil retreat where you can relax and unwind. The intended functionality of your gazebo will influence its ideal size.
For example, if you’re planning on hosting gatherings or parties under your gazebo, opting for a larger size would provide ample seating and standing room for guests. On the other hand, if it’s meant to be more of a cozy sanctuary for quiet moments alone or intimate conversations with loved ones, a smaller-sized gazebo might suit your needs better.
Evaluating Different Size Options
Sam’s Club offers gazebos in various sizes to cater to different preferences and spaces. Take advantage of their range by exploring multiple options before making a decision.
Consider the number of people you anticipate using the gazebo at any given time. If it’s just for you and a partner, a smaller size might be sufficient. However, if you have a large family or frequently entertain guests, a larger gazebo would provide more comfort and versatility.
Additionally, take into account any specific features or accessories you want to include in your gazebo setup. For instance, if you plan on incorporating a hot tub or outdoor kitchen area, make sure the size of the gazebo can accommodate these additions comfortably.
Enhance Your Outdoor Space with a Sam’s Gazebo
Choosing the Perfect Style for Your Sam’s Gazebo
When it comes to enhancing your outdoor space, a Sam’s Gazebo is an excellent choice. These stunning structures not only provide shade and protection from the elements but also add a touch of elegance and charm to any backyard or garden. One of the first considerations when selecting a Sam’s Gazebo is choosing the perfect style that complements your outdoor aesthetic.
Sam’s Club offers a wide range of gazebo styles to suit various preferences. From classic designs with ornate details to modern and minimalist options, there is something for everyone. Whether you prefer a traditional look or want to make a bold statement with a contemporary design, Sam’s has you covered.
When deciding on the style of your gazebo, take into account factors such as the overall theme of your outdoor space, existing architectural features, and personal taste. A rustic wooden gazebo can create a cozy and natural atmosphere, while an aluminum or steel structure adds a sleek and modern touch. Consider how different styles will blend with your landscape and complement other outdoor furniture pieces.
By carefully selecting the perfect style, exploring material options, and adding stylish accessories to your Sam’s Gazebo, you can transform your outdoor space into a haven where you can relax and entertain. Visit Sam’s Club today to explore their range of gazebos and start enhancing your backyard oasis!

The first of these public workshops will be held on Saturday, July 16 from 9 am to noon, on the lower level of the Central Library, 40 E. Anapamu St.
Library Plaza is a key public space in the City’s “Cultural District,” where many of Santa Barbara’s cultural landmarks are found, such as the Arlington and Granada Theatres, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Faulkner Gallery and numerous other art galleries. In the midst of all this is the Santa Barbara Central Library with its entry plaza. The Central Library has been located there since November 1917. In 1926, the adjoining property was bequeathed and the Faulkner Gallery was soon built, opening in 1930. Thus was created Library Plaza, the main entrance to the public library and gallery, and a favorite open space for residents and visitors alike. Just as its shade trees have matured, the plaza’s importance as open space has increased over the years while the city grew up around it. But Library Plaza has the potential to be much more.
The City of Santa Barbara Redevelopment Agency is funding the design of renovations for the Central Library plaza and landscaped areas along the Anapamu Street and Anacapa Street frontages of the Library. The principal goals are to create a library entrance and public gathering place that is inviting and safe and that can also be used for library-related activities and other functions.
The design process consists of two phases: conceptual design, and preliminary design and engineering, and the firm of Campbell & Campbell has been retained for this process. The design process is expected to last about nine months. A future phase will comprise final design and construction.
At the July 16 workshop, members of the design firm will present an overview of the project area and provide background on the renovation. City and design team staff will be on hand to facilitate small group discussions with members of the public, and to gather ideas and comments related to the design. Plan to come early and participate through the entire workshop!
It is anticipated that a second workshop will be held in August, also at the Central Library, and the Historic Landmarks Commission will hold hearings on the proposed concept design in the David Gebhard Memorial Hearing Room, 630 Garden St., during August and September. Some area residents and local business owners may want to participate in more than one of the workshops and/or hearings.
For further information contact Peggy Burbank, Redevelopment Specialist, at (805) 564-5461 x4582 or email@example.com.


Laying patio pavers can be really easy or very difficult depending on the type of materials, let alone skills. There are a number of different types of materials to choose from in which each of them has different ways to build. The easy way can be just laying the materials down on the ground similar to assembling a jigsaw puzzle, and the harder way would require some masonry skills.
There are factors to consider when choosing the right paver material. First, it should mix and match with your house because a patio is an extension to your home and it should not look odd. Then you can choose the right surface texture and color.
We would love to consider the cost, cheaper is better, but it can affect the quality and durability. It would only add very little value to your property.
Here is a list of patio paver materials:
Concrete is slightly cheaper and is a good start in building a patio. At the very basic, it can give you a solid and plain base for your patio furniture and fixtures. However, its versatility made it famous. It can be made into different finishes and textures that you can imagine. Possible textures can be done in many ways such as brushed, acid washed, and stamped. Effects like brick, flagstone, and other stone and decorative patterns can be achieved with stamping.
Tiles come in many types, textures, and colors. Texture ranges from a very smooth surface to rough stone-like features. With the right type, you can also simulate different effects such as bricks and stones.
This type must be the choice if you want a smooth and fine finished patio.
Brick pavers are classic and has been the popular choice for a long time. A creative mind can get the most out it because bricks of different shapes and colors can create endless design possibilities.
Bricks can help create a cozy ambiance through the classic and traditional appearance. They are also great for creating a garden patio.
For nature lovers, stones are great for simulating or emphasizing a nature inspired patio landscape. There is a wide array of stone types with different textures, shapes, sizes, and even colors to help create a unique patio environment.
Stones like limestone, sandstone, slate, and granite are most widely used. You are lucky if you are located near quarries because they are cheaper there, otherwise, they are costly. However, a well designed patio created with these stones adds a significant value to your property.
Anyway, you can combine some of these materials to create your patio. A combination of several types might even yield greater results. Imagine sitting on a lounge chair under a lovely patio umbrella in your fine tiled patio with stone pebbled borders. Or relaxing under a tiki umbrella in your tropical-themed stone patio. There lots of design ideas around. You can find more of them in the internet.

Good fences make good neighbors, wrote a beloved American poet decades ago. There is some truth in the idea that some of us function better when we know and respect common boundaries. This can be especially true when we put up fences in our lawns and around our property to keep trespassers out and the children or pets in.
Crassula tetragona are drought tolerant plants that are attractive, carefree and always look green. They are often used in bonsai pots to look like pine trees. In the ground, they grow up to 4 feet tall. They will branch at the tips and can be used as a low, informal hedge. Crassula are perfect for dry landscapes with other succulent plants and cacti. Their color can vary from green to deep, bluish green. They can take full sun to light shade, love heat and are easy to root and grow. If you think you have a brown thumb, this is the plant for you!
This Image Landscaping is a wonderful pastime enjoyed by many. It provides a natural beauty and needs no ornaments or other attractive items to help achieve its magnificence. What it does need, however, is a little TLC from you and great ideas to keep the landscape design ever changing and up to date.

Meeting media event deadlines and complex logistics and delivery in the middle of summer in a high-traffic business corridor was a remarkable feat. and I’m so proud of our team.”
The Awards will be presented at ELEVATE, the National Association of Landscape Professionals conference in Orlando, September 18-21.

Published at Wednesday, 25 September 2019. Backyard. By Adèle Bernard.
A backyard can mean different things to different people. For the congenial host, a backyard means a great place to gather friends and family on warm summer nights. For the avid gardener, a backyard means a great place to grow prized zucchini and the biggest pumpkins in five city blocks. For the kids, a backyard means a great place to play games of soccer or catch miller moths. For the dog, a backyard means a great place to spend some time after a large meal. No matter what a backyard means to you, chances are you want it to mean something and, chances are, you want it to stand out. If you are nodding your head in agreement, and want your backyard to house a superior deck or a creative garden, then keep reading: this (rose) bud’s for you:
Entertainment: You can continue to enjoy gatherings in your backyard as dusk rolls in, instead of everyone packing up and heading inside at the first sign of nighttime. Everyone can relax outside in your beautifully landscaped backyard and enjoy themselves under the star-lit sky. Imagine sitting around your bamboo tiki-bar with a colorful array of stringed lights cascading along the roof and counter-top. In addition to that, little lights that gently illuminate along your patio and walkway so guests can see where they are going as they journey and marvel through your landscape. What an extraordinary and gratifying ambiance! Everyone will love getting together in your backyard.
Now that you know the choices that are out there for backyard fireplaces, as well as the pros and cons, its time to start choosing what you would like and imagine how it will fit in your outdoor living space. Make sure that it fits well into the space available as well as into the scheme of the landscaping. One last thing you might want to think about is if you want to cook on it or just enjoy the fire. Once you have decided all of this, as well as what you want it to look like, you are ready to go shopping and start enjoying your evenings in your backyard even more.

A New Beginning
A premise, on Honeywood Parkway in Whitfield, has stood derelict for almost two years after a Homebase retailer had closed down in October 2017. Home Bargains have purchased this plot in order to refurbish and open a brand-new retail store. Encon were instructed to assist them with a Tree Survey, Landscape Design and unit alterations including new cladding and a revised car park ready for their new store to open.
The original drawn up plans that were in place required all 44 trees to be removed from the carpark and front of the store in order to improve the visibility of the store. We avoid removal recommendations for large numbers of trees within site plans for aesthetic reasons. Of course, if the trees in place must be removed for planning purposes for the functionality of the plan, we offer advice on strategy for dealing with their retention or removal, ensuring construction can proceed with the approval of the authorities.
Change of Plans
The original plan proposed by Home Bargains stated that they wished to remove 44 trees. This plan was declined by the local authority as they didn’t believe it was a necessity for this number of trees to be lost. As a result, Home Bargains appointed us for a Tree Survey and Landscape Design, requesting advice and guidance on the trees in place and also landscape design alterations to increase the visibility of the store.
Our Graduate Environmental Consultant, Emily visited the site in Dover to conduct the Tree Survey. Within her report, Emily suggested that in order to mitigate the objections, Home Bargains should re-consider the amount of trees that they wish to remove from their site plans in order to pass their plans with the local authority whilst still achieving their aim objective of increasing the visibility of the store.
Following an in-depth discussion with the client, Emily suggested within her Tree Survey that the client retained 15 of the 44 trees. Unfortunately, 29 trees would still need to be removed. However, to compensate for some of the trees lost, we recommended within the Landscape Design that 12 new trees were to be planted.
This plan has since been accepted by the local authority and the B&M Bargains store in Dover is now under construction.

Sometimes, especially in attached housing, you take what the land gives you—a truism that these two projects embraced with smart planning that delivered impressive results and value. Both effectively create comfortable and attractive “mini-villages” that are appropriate to their environments and intelligently take advantage of views and natural amenities while avoiding any semblance of suburbia. They also employ place-appropriate materials, giving them instant credibility and authenticity. The fact that these two projects were developed a continent and nearly 20 years apart bears witness to the fact that smart land planning is still alive and well.

Eight new day-long trails launched to explore the Inner Forth
Eight new day-long walks and cycles exploring the unique landscape and heritage of the Inner Forth, plus a mega Round the Forth route, have just been launched by Inner Forth Futures, a partnership of local authorities and national organisations.
Image: Doug Shapley Photography/IFF
The trails, called the Inner Forth Wanderings and Windings, range from 11-mile rambles to a challenging 35-mile long cycle. They use existing paths and tracks to encourage local people and visitors to the area to explore the landscape and discover some of the many hidden gems to be found around the Inner Forth. The routes include nature hotspots, historic buildings, riverside views, cultural landmarks and simply places to escape from the bustle of urban life.
Trail guides for all the routes, plus the round the Forth ninth route, incorporating elements from all the trails, are available to download free from https://www.innerforthlandscape.co.uk/about/wanderings-windings, along with GPX files to help people navigate the routes from their smart phone or GPS devices.
The Wanderings and Windings project, led by Inner Forth Futures, a partnership of Fife, Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire Councils, plus Scottish Natural Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland, Sustrans and Central Scotland Green Network Trust, has been funded through a £47,000 award from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with an overall value of £67,000.
Inner Forth Futures appointed Ian White Associates Landscape Architects to develop and deliver the trails. They ran 12 co-design workshops to work with local communities to design the routes and identify the key points of interest along the way.
A celebratory video has also been released, created by pupils from Falkirk High School, in conjunction with film makers D Fie Foe. You can watch it via the Wanderings & Windings page of the Inner Forth Futures website.
If people would still like to get more involved, IFF have a Facebook Group called Inner Forth Wanderings and Windings, which they can request to join.

Gardens by the Bay was officially opened in 2012 as part of the effort to turn Singapore from the ‘Garden city’ to the ‘City in the Garden’. Situated next to the Marina Reservoir the park has amazing views over Marina Bay Sands Resort as well as the Singapore Flyer (the big wheel) and the city. Entry to the park is free, with a cost of $5 to go up the OCBC Skywalk and a further cost to enter the conservatories. There is so much to do here; the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest conservatories, Dragonfly lake, Sun Pavilion and a Children’s garden as well as cafes and restaurants.
As we had visited the Botanic Gardens the day before we decided to save visiting the conservatories (which look amazing especially the mountain and waterfall!!) for another time but were keen to experience the skywalk. The structure is incredible; a walkway through the ‘supertrees’ which range in height from 25-50 metres and are basically vertical gardens. The skywalk is 22 metres above the ground and provides the most breathtaking photo opportunities of the supertrees themselves and the city itself!
I loved the skywalk, it is such a cool, original piece of design and you must go if you’re in Singapore! The views are amazing and for the $5 entry, it just shouldn’t be missed. We went during the day which was fab but in the evening* the supertrees come to life with a light and sound show, called the Garden Rhapsody, so we will have to return to see that!

Dusty miller is a favorite because it looks good with everything. The silvery-white color is a great foil for any type of garden blossom and the fine-textured foliage creates a beautiful contrast against other plants' green foliage. Dusty miller has also earned its place in the garden because it's delightfully easy to grow, withstanding heat and drought like a champion.

Singapore's first public housing project along the Punggol Waterway will have eco-friendly features and resort-like designs.
The 1,200-unit waterfront project will be launched in the middle of next year. The firm behind the winning design is a partnership between international architectural firm Group8asia and local design company Aedas.
They stole the crown with a distinctive sky terrace concept which creates public spaces along the waterway. More than 100 design firms from Europe and Asia took part in the Punggol Waterfront Housing Design Competition. They had to submit plans that matched the housing board's theme of "Green Living by the Waters".
HDB said the waterfront flats will be kept affordable. National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan said: "New HDB estates look like private condominiums, but don't cost as much as private condominiums.
"New innovative construction methods like pre-fabrication reduces cost and construction time. And that's one of the reasons why we are able to keep the cost of construction down."


The Immortal Bridge, a natural landscape, Taishan Mountain
Mount Tai lies in the zone of oriental deciduous forest; about 80% of its area is covered with vegetation. The flora is known to comprise almost 1,000 species. Some of the trees in the area are very old and have cultural significance, such as the Han Dynasty Cypresses, which were planted by the Emperor Wu Di, the Tang Chinese Scholartree (about 1,300 years old), the Welcoming-Guest Pine (500 years old) and the Fifth-Rank Pine, which was named originally by the Emperor Qin Shi Huang, but was replanted about 250 years ago.
The bridges are made by using a root-guidance system. Betel nut tree trunks are hollowed out and used to surround and contain young, thin roots from the Ficus elastica trees. The roots are then guided to grow over the body of water. When they reach the other side, they are allowed to take root in the dirt there. The guidance system can be removed, and nature takes it course to produce a beautiful, strong, functional natural vegetation bridge.

Designed by RO and AD Architecture company, the bridge is made from sustainable FSC and PEFC certified Accoya wood. The bridge was treated with a nontoxic coating that protects it from fungal decay, extending its durability.
