Are you are concerned about dangerous chemical leeching? You can rest assured that despite their name, these railway sleepers have not been used on the railway and do not contain harmful chemicals, so you can be sure they are safe to use in the garden. In this blog, we'll explore the benefits of using pressure treated green softwood railway sleepers in your garden, as well as how to install and care for them.
Benefits of Pressure Treated Green Softwood Railway Sleepers
1. Versatility: One of the main advantages of railway sleepers is their versatility. You can use for a wide range of landscaping projects, including creating raised beds, steps, retaining walls, and garden borders. You can also be use to add levels to flat gardens, creating a visually interesting and dynamic space.
2. Durability: Although they are made of softwood, they are still incredibly durable. They have been treated with preservatives to protect them against rot and decay, and they can last you many years with proper care.
3. Ease of Use: Compared to heavier hardwood varieties, these are much easier to cut to size and move around. This makes them a popular choice for DIY gardeners who want to create their own landscaping features.
4. Cost: You can save money using Softwood railway sleepers as they are an affordable option compared to other materials such as stone, concrete and hardwood alternatives. This makes them a popular choice for gardeners who want to create a high-quality look on a budget.
Installation and Care
Installing pressure treated green softwood railway sleepers is a straightforward process.
- First, mark out the area where you want to install using stakes and string.
- Next, dig a trench that is slightly wider and deeper than the sleepers you will be using. This will provide a stable base for the raised bed to sit on.
- Once you have dug the trench, place the sleepers in the trench and use wooden stakes or metal spikes to secure them in place.
- Make sure they are level and flush with the ground. If you need to cut the sleepers to size, use a saw with a fine-tooth blade.
Maintaining the longevity of your pressure treated green softwood sleepers is crucial, and it all starts with proper care. Remember to keep them clean, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals or pressure washing, as these can harm the wood. Opt for a stiff brush or broom to gently clear away any debris or fallen leaves. In case you spot any signs of rot or decay, make sure to promptly replace the affected sleeper(s). By following these guidelines, you can ensure the continued beauty and durability of your sleepers.
In conclusion, pressure treated green softwood railway sleepers are a versatile and affordable option for enhancing the look of your garden. With their durability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, they are an excellent choice for DIY gardeners who want to create their own landscaping features. By following proper installation and care procedures, you can enjoy the benefits of pressure treated green softwood railway sleepers for many years to come.

Hi, Bob. Thanks for your question; I would not add 4 to 6 inches of soil. I think you can get away with a couple, but woody plants, in particular, don’t like to be planted too deep or smothered later in life this way. Have you seen the article I did on the blog about underplanting? I try to to tuck things in here and there and add maybe an inch or two of soil and an inch or two of fine-textured organic mulch (let’s say a combination of 3 inches total). The mulch breaks down in time so isn’t as problematic as soil. The underplanting article: https://awaytogarden.com/10-thoughts-on- … erplanting See you on the forums and blog! M.


Signs of the Times: workshops to co-design new spaces
Tuesday 15 June 2021
Commissioned by Better Bankside, JA Projects and BBUK are designing a series of street improvements, created for and with the people of Bankside. Planting, seating, bike parking and signage will create exciting spaces for people to gather on and move through.
We've been reaching out to the local community to make sure our designs meet your needs and desires. To continue this, we invite you to contribute to a series of workshops called ‘Signs of the Times’. Over these sessions, we'll be thinking about how to highlight and signpost the amazing diversity of activities that take place on America Street, Wardens Grove and Ewer Street. What would you advertise? What do you want to share about the area?
The location of the in-person workshops will be emailed to all attendees.
This project is the next step in the Low Line scheme, which is creating a series of connected green spaces along the railway viaducts just south of the Thames.
Please sign up to the workshops using this Eventbrite link so that we can have an idea of attendance numbers.
If you can't make the workshops but want to share your ideas, please email Kate Poulter at firstname.lastname@example.org

My friends say I was building a Roman road. Not quite, but now I know how they (slaves) must have felt building it.
I started with stakes and set a string between the top and bottom of the incline. I wanted a ramp as opposed to the natural 'concave' shape that created a steep dip-down, that made it difficult and dangerous when towing trailers with materials.
About mid-way down this ramp where the natural shape of the slope created a dip, rocks were cemented-in about 18" deep.

When we bought our house in March 2006, the front garden was a tiny patch of dying grass, dirt, and rocks. Now we have a mass of carpet roses, lavender, dusty miller, creeping thyme, creeping jenny, phlox, purple-leaf sand cherry, boxwood, petunias, sweet potato vines, vinca, lady’s mantle, and, and, and…!
I never knew just how much I love being outside. My past experimentations with plants have been less than fruitful, so it’s quite gratifying to see that even the blackest of thumbs can learn a thing or two. There are still some patches I need to fill in (it’s tricky to find plants that can survive full sun all day long), but it’s definitely getting there. I can’t wait to see how it will look in a few years when the boxwood has grown and spread!

What is a Pondless Waterfall and What Are The Benefits?
Beautiful and Low Maintenance
Freshen up the entrance to your office or home. A Pondless Waterfall design by Ties With Nature can add great curb appeal to any home or business looking to add to the aesthetic valve of their property. The low cost and easy maintenance make this system an easy choice for those wanting to add some zest to their existing landscape plan.
If small children safety is a concern, you can start with a Pondless Waterfall. The design of a pondless waterfall ensures that there is never any pooling of water eliminating any liability. With the simple addition of a skimmer and larger liner, you can convert your system to a pond when the kids are older.
Some people feel that taking care of fish would be a little too much of a responsibility and that they won’t be able to leave their pond for long periods of time, while others say they do not have enough room for a whole pond. The Pondless Waterfall is virtually maintenance free!
The cost of a Pondless Waterfall is usually less than a full-blown pond, and waterfalls can be placed on a timer for electrical savings.
The name “pondless waterfall” derives from the fact that the water level never pools above the level of the rock giving it the appearance of a disappearing waterfall and stream minus the pond.
How a Pondless Waterfall Design Works
Water is stored in an underground basin that also contains the pump and housing. The water storage basin is then lined and filled with rock and smaller gravel.
The water is circulated from underground beneath the rocks and gravel by the concealed submersible pump and travels through an rugged tubing to the waterfall, down the stream and empties into the underground water storage basin.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have or to arrange an on site estimate for a pondless waterfall design and installation. You may also wish to return to our Ponds and Water Features home page.

Things to Consider Before Changing Your Landscape
If you’re getting tired of how your landscaping looks right now, then it might be due for an update. Thinking of landscape designs can be a very fun experience, but before you actually pull the trigger and decide on changes, you need to carefully think it through. Your landscape is an important part of your property and shouldn’t be something to hastily decide on.
Below are some tips to help you decide on what to change or how to design your landscape.
Table of Contents
Understand the Space
You can’t just go about using plants that you like- there’s a lot of thought that goes into landscaping. Think about the climate in your area. Are the plants that you like compatible with the local climate? The topography of the area matters as well. Even the soil is important. These things are very important factors that need careful consideration. Of course, hiring a professional to help you sort it out works. But if you’re up for it, you can also do your own studying to gain a better understanding of what can work and what doesn’t.
Decide on a Specific Theme
Harmony is something that can make your landscape look infinitely better. That’s why creating a theme can help you, and it can also make things more efficient as it will guide what sort of plants and materials you have to select. A theme can be something as simple as having a sense of symmetry throughout your space or as complex and thought-out as using the same family of plants all throughout.
When thinking of what theme is best for your property, think of how the theme affects its function. Think of how your theme can affect how you intend to use the property. Do you want an unobtrusive and makes for a good area to move around and relax? Consider going for low-maintenance plants and trees that don’t drop very spiky or sharp branches and leaves. Or perhaps you want a nature-filled respite. Then go for flora that encourages the local wildlife. The theme you decide on is important, so take your time deciding on one.
Think Long Term
It’s important to remember that your yard is part of your investment. Before making major changes, think about how the property will look down the line, say 20-30 years later. Do you plan on planting seasonal plants or high-maintenance ones? Who will keep in charge of the upkeep? Are there plans for property changes or further land development in a few years? Asking yourself these questions can help you in your decision-making process before overhauling your current landscape.
If for example you currently have some trees planted, think about whether you plan to take them down completely or just have them relocated to a different part of your land. Choosing either can impact how you will budget the entire project, as well as the timeline you can set for it. Another long-term factor would be the plants you will choose. Ornamental plants are well and good, but functionality should also be considered. You’d want trees that can provide shade apart from colorful bushes and shrubberies that beautify your land.
Plan Out Your Plants
As mentioned, the plants you decide on will impact how your landscape will come together. Factors like the colors, size, and even fragrance can affect the look and feel of your landscape design, so it’s crucial to carefully plan out which ones you’ll want to include in your garden. Keep in mind how you intend to guide the eyes when viewing your garden. Your overhead, vertical, and ground plane are all equally important, and a very uneven design can be distracting instead of relaxing.
Attention to Detail Is Important
If you’ve already decided on what new theme to have for your garden, check for spots around the area that might turn out to be hazards in the future. Your plumbing, for example, is crucial in this aspect because you might end up having to adjust your pipelines if your landscape does not match your current plumbing lines. Another hazard you’d want to look out for are tree stumps, big and small. If you do find one or several, it’s better to hire professionals to grind any stumps, as they know the best and most effective way to do so.
Your landscape is something that can either increase your property’s monetary and personal value, or it can severely hamper it. It’s an important part of what makes your home yours. That’s why it’s very crucial to think about it before you ultimately commit to a redesign.

Palm Tree Relocation
After a morning bike ride on Saturday, we made the most of the glorious Spring day and did some work in the garden.
I’d already done some work on the water feature before my ride and while I was out Anna and Morgan had been busy sowing seeds. I’m not 100% sure what they’ve planted but I think it is:
All are in little pots ready to germinate and we will then transplant them into either the raised beds out the back or some new beds that we intend to build soon.
In the afternoon I did lots of tidying up in the garden, and then set about a task I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Moving a Palm Tree that was bought for us by Helen and Steve as a wedding present (in 2004). It was a fairly small tree at the time but has since being doing well in its sheltered little spot in the garden. Unfortunately though it was a little too crowded where it was and now that the tree itself has grown considerably and the plants around it have grown too, it was not only getting swamped by the other plants, but it couldn’t be seen either.
I’d decided that I wanted to move the palm into the new bed that we built last year. It would be easier than moving the Oak Tree that was next to it and it would act as a nice architectural feature plant in this bed. I’d been putting it off however as I wasn’t sure how well it would cope with a brutal replanting procedure. It had got to the stage where it was no good where it was so yesterday we moved it. It was pretty difficult to get out but we got some nice long tap roots with it and moved it to its new location.
It was much bigger than we thought it was but looks good now that it is on display. I only hope it survives the relocation and enjoys its new sunny spot. It isn’t quite so sheltered where it is though so I hope it doesn’t mind the wind too much.


CAMBRIDGE — Eastern Shore Land Conservancy and its partners on the Cannery Park project celebrated the kickoff of the park’s design phase on Tuesday, Jan. 23.
The park, which will be located adjacent to the former Phillips Packing Co.’s last remaining building — soon to be known as The Packing House — is the culmination of a planning and funds-seeking process that has been in the works for about seven years.
Alexandria-based Parker Rodriguez, a full-service land planning, landscape architecture, and urban design firm, has been selected to design and build Cannery Park. They were chosen for their focus on community-driven, authentic design.
“We want a design and a place that tells the story of Cambridge and Dorchester County,” said ESLC Director of Conservation Katie Parks-White. “Cannery Park and the many other exciting initiatives happening around Cambridge are building on the vibrancy markers to ensure a lively downtown core, a walkable mix of neighborhoods, businesses, and plentiful gathering spaces.
“Together we will create a place of community gathering unique to the character and heritage of Cambridge and Dorchester County that serves as a place for people of all means and perspectives. While there is still much work ahead before Cannery Park opens to the public, we wanted to take a moment today to acknowledge the progress and to celebrate as we move forward. This is a place where our interests align to enhance the community as a whole.”
Principal of Parker Rodriguez Dennis Carmichael urged the community to attend the two design charettes and provide the firm with insight into what they would like to see in the new park.
“We really care about authentic places, and we are not from Cambridge,” he said. “We need you to be part of this process. We need to learn what you value because this is your park.”
The first charette on Tuesday evening was a listening session to gather ideas from the community. At the meeting Thursday, Jan. 25, Carmichael and his associates presented a draft of the design and collected feedback.
Carmichael said the design process will take about three months, and they aim to have a plan to take to Cambridge City Council for approval sometime in the spring.
“The concept design is just one piece driving the renewal of this forgotten site,” Parks-White said. “From the joint funding of the acquisition – with the City of Cambridge, Dorchester County, the State of Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy – to the Packing House redevelopment, the stream restoration, and the Rail-to-Trail conversion, this success is a testament to the value created in partnerships.”
Parks-White noted that Cross Street Partners, the development company driving the Packing House, is also providing a significant portion of the funding, allowing for the community process to create the master design.
The City of Cambridge owns the park. Through a grant from the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bay Trust Fund the city has funded the $1.8 million dollar stream restoration project, which is currently underway and expected to be completed and accessible in the spring.
Dorchester County is funding the design and engineering of the Rail-to-Trail conversion, which is the inactive freight rail line that runs between the Packing House and the park, adding 2.4 acres to the park site, Parks-White said.
The county is also working currently to begin clearing some of the overgrown brush to provide a view of the site from Dorchester Avenue.
Cambridge Mayor Victoria Jackson-Stanley and Dorchester County Council President Ricky Travers both spoke to the strengthened partnership of the two local governments they represent, and how the team effort has helped to move this project forward over the past several years.
Cannery Park is one piece of what will be a significant revitalization of the area dubbed the “Packing District,” where the Phillips’ Packing Company’s 60-acre campus once dominated. ESLC and partners are still working diligently to secure funding and tenants that will help to move forward the plans for The Packing House, the last remaining structure from the Phillips campus.
A few of the uses planned for the 60,000-square foot building, once restored, include event space, a kitchen and food business incubator, shared use office space, and a market.


How to Build a Rockery
16th July 2020 / Tammy
Late winter through to early spring is the best time to build a rockery. This is because the ground is usually wet. However, you can do this at any time of year, but is better after a few days of rain. The wet ground makes it easier to move the soil and place the rocks.
Before you build a rockery, it’s important to think about its location along with the plants you want to include. If you are using alpine plants, they often require a lot of light. Therefore, make sure that you build your rockery away from trees, as these will cast shadows throughout the day.
If your space is mostly shaded then do not worry, there are plants that are well suited to those conditions. However, you are not just restricted to alpine planting for your rockery. There are many beautiful varieties that can suit all sorts of growing conditions and will add interest to your feature year-round.
Which Stone Should I Use?
Some stunning choices for rockery stone include the extremely popular Slate, which has many distinct colour tones to choose from. These include Plum, Blue, Charcoal, Green, Cornish and Rustic which means you should find a slate rockery stone to blend seamlessly with your colour scheme.
A stone that is perfect for use if you want a natural look is the Longstone or Yorkstone Rockery. Red Sandstone will make a great impact and Cotswold Rockery Stone will brighten up your area. We even supply Nordic Rockery that sparkles in the light, offering something a bit special to any rockery.
You can add interest to your design by using smaller stones that complement the colour tones of your rockery. For natural looking rockeries you have options like Scottish Pebbles & Cobbles, and Oyster Pebbles. For a contemporary rockery Duck Egg Pebbles or Dove Grey will blend seamlessly. You can also find Slate Chippings to match any colour of slate rockery stone.
If your rockery is going to feed into a pond with fish in it, be sure to choose fish friendly materials such as granite, slate, or gritstone.
So How Do I Build My Rockery?
Now that you have thought about what you want to plant, where you are going to build it and what rockery stone you are going to use, you are going to put the whole thing together!
Start by clearing the area that will become your rockery of all weeds and stones. Lay Weed Membrane down with a layer of gravel on the top. Together these will help prevent weeds growing and give good drainage to your rockery.
Begin by placing the largest rocks first and build up gradually using smaller stones towards the top to create a peak. Use decent quality topsoil to place into the natural spaces created by the rocks. If you want to keep your rockery weed free for as long as possible, you must use a quality, pre-prepared, bagged topsoil. Remember if you use your own, it may contain small weed seeds that you will find extremely difficult to remove. Make sure that you place the rockery stone at different angles to add interest and to offer different facing directions for your plants.
Which Plants Should I Use?
Finally, it’s time to plant! The easiest thing to do at first is to lay out the plants (still in their containers) where you think you would like them ultimately to be. That way you can move them round easily and with the least mess until you’ve got it right. Once you’ve worked out the placement, gently tease out the plants roots and place them in the topsoil. Make sure to cover the roots with some more topsoil and then layer over a handful of horticultural grit or other small chippings to help keep weeds at bay.
Alpine plants are generally recommended for rockeries as they are native to mountainous regions. This means that they are normally small as the mountains provide a cold and dry atmosphere which prevents the plants from growing tall.
However, there are other small plants that you can also use within your rockery and having a mix of alpine and non-alpine will make an attractive display. Typical plants recommended for use within rockeries include Thyme, Houseleeks, Trailing Bellflower, Pasque Flower, Aubretia and Gentian. Although there are many more that can also be used.
Once you have chosen and placed your plants then your rockery should be complete and ready to enjoy.

Salvia 'Indiglo Girl' PP31254 CPBRAF (25) Bare Root Plants
COLOR SPIRES® Collection
Common Name: Perennial Salvia
The darkest color of the COLOR SPIRES® Series, with flowers so rich and vibrant, they glow! Indigo blue flowers are held in dark calyxes and are produced on top of a vigorous, bushy mound of foliage. 'Indiglo Girl' is intermediate between S. nemorosa and S. pratensis and has the best of both worlds: large, brightly colored flowers with the excellent foliar canopy. This fabulous variety matches the bloom times as the rest of the series, so you can display all of the colors at once. This will rebloom later in the season if deadheaded.
Salvia is a staple item for every sunny garden. It asks little more than sunshine and a little drink every once in a while in return for producing a bountiful mass of colorful flower spires from late spring into early summer. It forms a uniform, rounded clump of aromatic, rugose green foliage that looks nice all season long and is not enjoyed by rabbits or deer.
Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.

Here is the video of the trees we harvested being graded prior to being able to use structurally.
We will be repurposing the trees felled from the infill lot. This lumber will be used both inside and outside, on the Burnside Boardwalk project. There was initially 21 large trees on the Burnside Boardwalk infill site. We were able to save 8 of them. The trees varied in sizes from a large of 44 […]
Our drywell allows the rainwater runoff to recharge the local aquifer, rather than adding to the city’s stormwater overflow. This is one of the features that help make Burnside Boardwalk so green. In a normal urban environment rainwater is channeled into the city drainage system that pushes the water directly to streams bypassing the traditional means that […]
When pouring the footing and retaining walls in a small infill lot there are several obstacles to overcome. We would prefer to use a boom truck so that the filler hose does not need to be dragged across the forms. But when the lot is torn up there is not always room for the boom […]

Brick : Brick is one of the most popular choice for patios because it is easy to install, looks great and is preferred by most DIY enthusiasts. This type of patio material offer a very traditional look in terms of warm, earthy colors and last a long time. Bricks can be installed on sand base or concrete pavements regardless of whether you use mortar or not and extremely durable in cold climates. It can have a variety of patterns as well because of its uniform shape and size, thus add a lot of personality and individually to your patio. The color of brick looks extremely nice and attractive on a patio especially if it is surrounded by a garden.
Location of the patio : Most patios are sited immediately adjacent to the rear exit from the house because it is convenient - this may not be the best location for your patio. The back of the house may be shaded all day and therefore not ideal if you wish to like to sit in the sun. Consider a small terrace to the rear of the house with another seating area somewhere else in the garden which gets more sun. When designing a garden it's a good idea to include more than one patio.. One patio can be sited so that it catches the last of the evening sun to provide a warm spot for an evening drink or meal. This makes the garden much more interesting and ensures that you are using more of the garden.
Bar Stools: Patio bar stools are equally important as the party bar and bar tables. Since guests prefer to relax and enjoy during patio parties, then it is important that your bar stools have features that provide maximum comfort and convenience. Bar stools that have a swiveling mechanism are beloved by guests who are fond to simultaneously talk to other guests at the party bar. Bar stools with arm rests and comfortable padding are also one of the top favorites of guests.
A patio is just one element of a garden design, but it is one of the most expensive parts of any garden build. Because the patio fulfills several different functions it needs be given careful consideration. Here are a few pointers on how to design a patio.


Published at Saturday, 14 September 2019. Backyard. By Zacharie Gauvin.
For any pro-green individual who is interested in different ways they can contribute to their environment, a backyard sanctuary is certainly an environmentally friendly option. Many rural areas are being subjected to various types of industrial and residential developments, which result in the destruction of the natural wildlife habitats of many species big and small. These developments leave many types of wildlife without a functional home. Thus, individuals who decide to open their backyards as a wildlife home are offering a shelter to many wildlife that are finding it difficult to locate an ideal natural habitat of their own.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are a must. They can be grown in patio containers and in amongst your regular backyard landscaping. Add some lettuce and spinach as greenery in cooler spots of your yard as ground cover. Include a big barrel of mixed herbs in your backyard landscaping for a culinary delight. Thyme is an excellent ’steppable’ ground cover and edging. Lavender is a favorite of bees and hummingbirds. The possibilities are endless, we at LandscapingCentral.net have suggested just a few to encourage you to include incredible edible beauty into your backyard landscaping.
A Butterfly Garden: Sure, most of us want to keep insects out of our backyards, but butterflies don’t deserve exile: they don’t bite, they don’t spend their lives trying to get inside your house, and, plainly put, they are pretty. For those of you who love butterflies, or simply want to add some beauty to your backyard, consider planting a garden full of nectar-filled flowers, flowers such as Columbines, Begonias, Geraniums, Petunias, and Lilies. Butterflies will flock to these flowers and, if you’re really lucky, you might find that your butterfly garden also attracts a hummingbird or two.

The warbler wood at present, we have now finished earth works on the former poplar plantation for this year. Really happy with the outcome in trying to create the most natural looking water bodies possible. Next we will begin forming a low scrub woodland to help further attract many members of the warbler family.
Also created during the earth works is a small mound which within the next year will become The Wader Watch, a screen hide over looking the wader meadow as shown in the example picture below.
We are looking forward to further works on the rest of the former poplar plantation nearest the lake, once the timber has been removed in the new year.
The new water bodies around the earth mound are just about finished. The new scrape will flood during the winter when ground water levels rise but is able to hold some permanent water at it's base right through the summer.
Hoping to attract a great range of invertebrates for the area. The top of the mound consisting of loose soil for species who like to dig their own burrows, with large boulders at the base creating cracks and crevasses for those species who like to make use of the shelter already formed at the base.
The pond is fully clay lined and can be artificially filled from the river to give us another guaranteed water body even in very dry periods such as we've had over the last 2 summers.

Beirut is in desperate need of green areas. Trees purify the air and add bright colors to the urban landscape.
Green Cedar Lebanon proposed to the Municipality of Beirut a project called “Making Cities Green” that can solve this issue.Green Cedar Lebanon will plant 10,452 trees over the course of ten years. The trees will be planted in different areas of the Lebanese capital, and they will be of multiple types.
The Mayor of Beirut Jamal Itani and the representative of Green Cedar Lebanon’s Executive Director Pascale Choueiry Saad signed the agreement today under the patronage of the Prime Minister Saad Hariri who planted the first tree in the Grand Serail.
Hariri believes that this is a wonderful initiative which will protect Lebanon’s environment. He noted that Lebanon needs to plant more trees to meet international standards.
Since its launch in 2007, Green Cedar Lebanon has been working to respond to the environmental disaster that is afflicting Lebanon’s forests due to fires, urban violations, quarries, sand mines, and random dumps that gradually eliminate wide forests and green areas in different parts of Lebanon.
The company implemented several programs aimed at lobbying, raising awareness and collecting donations and grants to reforest the zones destroyed by the fires and increase the green areas in Lebanon. In recent years, we have been accustomed to participating and supporting reforestation campaigns in areas far from cities with municipalities, associations and schools in different regions of Lebanon.
According to Green Cedar Lebanon’s Executive Director Pascale Choueiry Saad: “We are launching this campaign today, under the patronage of Prime Minister Sheikh Saad Hariri and in partnership with the Beirut Municipal Council. It is part of the “Making Cities Green” campaign in order to increase green spaces, especially in the Lebanese capital, as we are in dire need of improving the quality of air and environment as well as increasing the green spaces in the city where the vast majority of Lebanese citizens live and work”.
“Accordingly, today we announce our commitment to plant 1,500 trees annually, within a long-term program of up to ten years to reach the planting of 10452 trees, equivalent to the size of our beloved Lebanon, in locations determined with the municipality, the selection of trees based on the specificity of different sites, taking into account compliance with all agricultural engineering standards in terms of biological diversity, quality of trees, age, size, places of planting, methods of maintenance and care, as determined by the competent departments in the municipality.It is worth noting that all trees that are to be planted will range from 2 to 3 meters in height. AFDC, the Association for Forests, Development and Conservation, will carry out all planting and follow-up activities during the 10 years in cooperation with the Municipality.”.Choueiry Saad added.
Finally, Choueiry Saad thanked all those who contributed to the launching of this campaign, particularly: Banque du Liban Governor, Mr. Riad Salameh for allowing this project to see the light.
UNDP Energy and Environment Program Manager Edgard Chehab, for his continuous support and encouragement. Last but not least, our sincerest gratitude goes to his excellency PM Hariri for always being the first sponsor of all projects that contribute to bettering Lebanon’s image.

Precast GFRC Balustrades
Architectural balustrades give a timelessly elegant and majestic appeal to any outdoor living area. These aesthetic elements also have a functional purpose in supporting these structures and adding to their lifetime.
Pacific Stone Design, Inc. precast Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) balustrades are offered in a variety of colors and finishes to accommodate the specifications of our clients. In addition, our balustrades are available in individualized bases and rails for complete design flexibility.


Estate rail is known by a variety of names, such as ‘deer’ or ‘park’ fencing. We have installed miles of estate fencing around the perimeters of many country estates and prestigious parkland areas. Traditionally meant to keep livestock, such as deer, within their grazing boundaries, estate rail is rapidly becoming a decorative feature and used to demark land ownership boundaries in a secure yet aesthetically pleasing way. Estate rail is the perfect choice for areas that require that distinctive look, yet still require a robust, high performance railing.
Our choice of materials and fabrication processes ensure quality metalwork that will last for many years in the toughest of conditions. We understand that our metalwork serves an important practical purpose but also that it must also blend with its surrounding environment which is why we offer a choice of design variations, materials and finishes.
“The new railings complement the appearance of the parks, as well as contributing towards the restoration of an historic feature. The completed parks are already attracting more visitors to the area, whilst also providing new facilities for local residents” – Alison Baker, Project Manager, Jacksons Civil Engineering
“The whole of the park refurbishment was very carefully planned out in order to provide maximum protection both to the deer and the public. The railings and gates look superb as they perfectly complement their surroundings without detracting from its natural heritage. We are delighted with the end result and have received lots of positive feedback from visitors” – Ron Inglis, Service Manager, Nottingham City Council Museums and Galleries

The award recognises and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the globe and a green flag flying overhead is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities.
Nestled in the heart of the city within the University campus, the historic Royal Fort Garden is loved by students and visitors for it’s rolling green banks, wildflower meadow, biodiverse pond and shade-giving trees which fall against the backdrop of the grand Royal Fort House.
In addition to the flora and fauna, the mirror maze called 'Follow Me' is a popular attraction. It was designed by internationally recognised artist Jeppe Hein to mark the University’s centenary in 2009.
A more recent addition is 'Hollow' – an intricate structure, described as a modernist grotto, made from 10,000 wood samples collected from across the world. It was created by Katie Paterson, made in collaboration with architects Zeller & Moye, and unveiled in 2016.
This international award is run by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy and the University’s garden is among a record-breaking 1,970 UK parks and green spaces to receive the prestigious accolade. 104 of which have been awarded in the South West of England. Globally, Royal Fort Garden is one of 131 green spaces in thirteen other countries to be awarded a Green Flag this year.
University of Bristol Arboriculture & Horticultural Manager, Kevin Stuckey, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive a Green Flag Award for the 4th year. It’s a great recognition of the dedication and enthusiasm that the garden and grounds team, volunteer students and wider staff involvement have provided to enhance and maintain Royal Fort Gardens to such a high standard over the last year. We know how much quality green spaces matter to the students, staff, visitors and the local community, and this award celebrates what make the gardens such a joy and relaxing place to visit”
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: “It’s fantastic that we have more Green Flag Awards in the UK than ever before, joined this year by 131 International winners.”
“Each flag honours the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. We congratulate each and every winner on their fantastic achievement.”

It was originally known as Windmill Fort, located at the top of St Michael's Hill, before the Royalists captured Bristol and Dutch military engineer Sir Bernard de Gomme redesigned it.
It was the strongest defence in Bristol and acted as the Western headquarters for the Royalist army under Prince Rupert of Rhine, the 23-year-old commander of the Royalist cavalry.
Prince Rupert surrendered to Oliver Cromwell and Lord Fairfax in 1645, with the fort being demolished in 1655.
The wealthy Tyndall family, who established Bristol's first bank, acquired the land to build a sizeable new house with generous gardens.
The current three-storey villa was built between 1758 and 62 for Thomas Tyndall, a wealthy Bristol merchant, and his young wife Alicia. Its three facades in three different classical styles - Baroque, Palladian and Rococo - were a compromise after three separate architects submitted designs.
A later Tyndall generation called in the landscape designer, Humphry Repton, to screen their 'pleasure grounds' from urban sprawl after a disastrous housing scheme fell through. Repton's original drive and planting around the house have recently been reinstated.
The Tyndall family lived there until 1916, when the house and grounds were bought by Henry Herbert Wills, who later donated it to the University of Bristol.
About the Green Flag Awards Scheme
The Green Flag Awards Scheme is run by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, under licence from the Department of Communities and Local Government, in partnership with Keep Scotland Beautiful, Keep Wales Tidy and Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens and the National Housing Federation.
Keep Britain Tidy is a leading environmental charity. We inspire people to be litter-free, to waste less and to live more. We are run programmes including Eco-Schools, the Green Flag Award for parks and green spaces and the Blue Flag/ Seaside Awards for beaches.
Any green space that is accessible to the public is eligible to enter for a Green Flag Award. Awards are given on an annual basis and winners must apply each year to renew their Green Flag status. A Green Flag Community Award recognises quality sites managed by voluntary and community groups. Green Heritage Site accreditation is judged on the treatment of the site's historic features and the standard of conservation.


In the world of eco design, both green roofs and solar panels have many incredible benefits on their own. A green roof (also called living roof) is a roof of a building covered with vegetation and plants. This is all well-prepared and planted over a waterproofing membrane. It may also include additional layers (root barrier, drainage and irrigation). And secondly, a solar panel is a packaged connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. It is known due to its benefits to the environment and the sustainability.
Now we know the benefits of each one, we can ask ourselves: Are they a good combination? Do they work better together? Or, is there a new benefit if they are working together? Great questions; let’s find out the answers.
Green roofs work very well when they are installed with solar panels. The main advantages are the easy installation of the vegetation and the solar units; the reliable stability of solar units from load of the green roof; the higher efficiency of the panels due to the cooling effect of the green roof. The last one seems to be the most spectacular. Specialists say that heat is the worst enemy to the generators of electricity. So, the vegetation and the special membrane work to keep cool the building and this allows the solar panels to work better and to be more efficient. It is said that green roofs keep energy reducing the workload for the solar system. These living roofs actually improve solar system efficiency.
Important studies show up that green roofs combined with solar panels reduce the use of energy as much as 10% in a building. It also reduces the need of cooling during summer and the demand for heating in winter.
So, it is great to say that green roofs and solar panels are a match made in heaven and they work perfectly together. The panels can strengthen the living roofs by creating areas of biodiversity. The combination of these two features is a step further in sustainable eco-friendly home design.

Bring the Country to You
‘COUNTRY living’ is a recurring theme sought after by new home buyers, self-builders and those making home improvements. And it’s no surprise that the warmth and charm associated with ‘country-chic’ is so commonly aspired to – this theme offers timeless style and character. Many people that live in urban areas believe this style is unattainable for properties in a town setting, but that is not the case. With the landscape design possibilities available nowadays, you don’t even have to live in the country to get a sense of country living! Tobermore landscape designer and award-winning columnist, Vanessa Drew, offers some inspiration on how to achieve this: “For smaller spaces, a cottage garden can provide a cosy sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding town and the stresses of everyday life. The addition of bench seating with floral cushions and space-saving shelves for potted plants can be used to add personality and function.
“For larger spaces, a courtyard garden offers a multi-purpose area for secluded relaxation, hosting parties and provides a safe space for children to roam. Features such as shabby-chic style table and chairs for alfresco dining, wooden archways and the creation of paths are ideal for creating the courtyard look.”
Tobermore offer some beautiful paving products that evoke rustic style. These products are ideal for creating a traditional outdoor space – so Tobermore can help bring the country to you, no matter where your home is located!
If you are in need of some ideas to help you get started, pop down to Tobermore’s Paving and Walling Centre in Dublin, open from Monday – Saturday, to check out the extensive range of block paving, paving flags, walling and kerbing products available.
Visiting the centre is a valuable experience as it offers the opportunity to view the stunning product colours, textures and laying patterns available in real-life landscaped environments. Free samples are also available for you to take home.

By SeMoGABErkah. Patio. At Saturday, June 30th 2018, 02:01:03 AM.
Patio chairs may very well be some of the most functional seating arrangements you can place on your patio. Whether your patio is similar to a breezy Los Angeles gazebo or a part of a luxurious waterfront condominium with walk-out to the water's edge, choosing patio chairs to complement the rest of your patio furniture is essential.
The shape of patio that you choose will depend on your design and the shape and size of your garden. Patios should look natural and flow with the overall design of your garden. Patios can be raised, flat, square, rectangle, round the list is endless. Rectangle and square patios tend to be more traditional and fit into spaces well, so if you have a smaller garden it is often better to choose a patio with straight edges. If you have a bit more space, then you might want to consider a patio with curves to create a soft flowing look.
Relaxing: though it is not many people who relax on their patios (since most have turned theirs' into domestic 'dumping' sites), the truth of the matter is that one of the main purposes for which patios are designed is to provide sites for relaxation. It follows, if you are one of those who are guilty of turning their patios into dumping sites that you need to rehabilitate the patio, if you are to make it suitable for relaxation. This would involve getting rid of the stuff you have dumped there for which there is no conceivable use, storing the rest of the stuff in an orderly manner (if you have to store it there), and then installing furniture suitable for relaxation. Once this is effectively done, you may come to realize that of all 'rooms' in your home, it is the patio that makes for the most ideal place to relax and pass time.

New social housing and green spaces for Woodberry Down
90 new social rent homes, a brand new public square and an overall increase of 60 trees are included in the latest revised plans for the Woodberry Down estate being presented to the local community this month.
The changes – put forward by Berkeley Homes alongside the Woodberry Down regeneration delivery partners Hackney Council and Notting Hill Genesis – are the final draft proposals for the latest stage of the regeneration of the estate. These have been informed by extensive input from the residents group the Woodberry Down Community Organisation and shaped by the views of hundreds of local people over more than a year.
The new social rent homes will add to the more than 600 already completed or under construction as part of the Council’s commitment to delivering a brand new, permanent home for every Council tenant at Woodberry Down.
Also included are around 140 trees – 60 more than currently on the site, with the updated proposals increasing the number of existing trees retained, after feedback from residents. This is on top of 1,000 cycle spaces among a series of play streets, pocket parks and a podium garden in order to create welcoming open spaces, promote biodiversity and encourage sustainable transport use.
A new public square on the corner of Woodberry Grove and Woodberry Down will also provide new commercial and community spaces, with the Council exploring in detail opportunities for a new public library.
Our commitment at Woodberry Down has always been to provide a modern, fit-for-purpose new social rented home for every permanent Council tenant on the estate – replacing outdated buildings that sadly no longer meet modern standards. With more than 500 social rent homes already built and 117 more under construction, these latest plans show that we’re continuing to deliver on that promise.
But it’s about more than new homes – we’re working with the regeneration partners at Woodberry Down to create biodiverse green spaces, inclusive public spaces and community infrastructure for the future. Input now from local people will ensure we get these plans right and it’s been interesting to take part in those discussions and listen to those who have already taken part.
Woodberry Down is one of Europe’s biggest single-site estate regeneration projects, and is led by a partnership of Hackney Council, Berkeley Homes, Notting Hill Genesis, Woodberry Down Community Organisation and the Manor House Development Trust. Since 2009 over 2,000 new homes have been built at Woodberry Down as well as a new secondary school, community facilities, new parks, youth hub and the reopening of the stunning Woodberry Wetlands.
Earlier this year, work began on the transformation of the Woodberry Down Children’s Centre, while plans are being progressed for a brand new community space at the heart of the estate and discussions are taking place with residents who will be moving to the next phase of new homes.
Find out more information about the Phase 4 plans online or attend one of the following public exhibition events:

A market and performance space are at the heart of detailed £5m plans to regenerate a run-down city centre area.
The proposals for Gloucester’s Kings Square also include an outdoor cinema and the return of water fountains.
The scheme is part of the wider Kings Quarter redevelopment, which will also see homes, offices and shops built in the area.
If the plans win final approval, the aim is to complete the work by the end of 2020, the council says.
Paul James, leader of Gloucester City Council, said: “Kings Square is the city centre’s largest public open space and will become a focal point for businesses, residents and visitors.
“These new images illustrate our vision for the transformation of this part of Gloucester city centre into a destination and flexible event space.”
A design for new fountains for the area is said to be inspired by the Severn Bore, which occurs on the nearby River Severn several times a year.
The square’s original fountains, which were built in the 1970s, became derelict and were eventually concreted over in 2006.
Various plans for the redevelopment of Kings Square have been submitted in recent years.
However, work has never begun, due in part to a developer pulling out of the scheme.
