“Impact gardening is about recognising the limitations people have when wanting to improve their garden and offering solutions that focus on individual elements rather than complete garden makeovers.”
Affordability is what makes Impact Gardening attractive to many. It focuses on the parts rather than the whole.
Impact is not just visual. Impact can be :
Practical - a garden path or a patio or deck
Solutions - a privacy screen or a raised bed
Personal - an arbour to sit under and relax
Sharing - a covered BBQ station and dining area

DeepRoot bamboo barrier can be cut to any desired length with a utility knife, joins vertically or horizontally with sealant tape and is made in the USA.
Containment of bamboo and invasive species.
Bamboo makes an ideal garden plant and grows quickly to provide privacy and beauty, however, if left unchecked bamboo can grow throughout the yard and become a major nuisance. Bamboo Barrier is an effective material to prevent its unwanted spread.
The smooth surface of the Bamboo Barrier acts as a root stop, diverting the rhizome and preventing rampant growth. The rhizome will not penetrate the barrier; instead it will turn and continue to grow along the surface of the barrier. This contains the bamboo and prevents spreading where it isn't wanted.
Bamboo Barrier Installation
Most bamboo will be sufficiently contained using a 24" (61 cm) barrier. Certain types of bamboo or plantings on steep hillsides or soft loamy soils may require a 30" (76 cm) or 36" (91 cm) depth barrier. Please consult with your local bamboo specialist for recommendations for your planting site.
Dig a trench around the perimeter of the area in which you want to contain the bamboo. The depth of the trench should be 2" (5 cm) less than the depth of the barrier. If using the 24" (61 cm) barrier the trench should be 22" (56 cm) deep.
Insert the barrier into the trench. Overlap the barrier by four feet where the two ends meet and seal vertically with the double sided tape at each seam (see illustration). This prevents the rhizome from breaking through the seam. Make certain that the top of the barrier is 2" (5 cm) above the finish grade of the soil. This is to help retard rhizome overgrowth and make it easier to see rhizomes and cut them back before they hop over the barrier.
Plant the bamboo according to the nursery planting recommendations, paying attention to soil deficiencies, drainage and compaction.
Annual maintenance is a key to controlling bamboo. Depending upon your location rhizomes spread outward from the center of the plant in later spring, summer and fall. Each Fall when rhizome activity has ended clear the top edge of the barrier and inspect for any rhizome overgrowth. If any rhizomes have gone over the top of the barrier cut them off and pull them out of the ground. If this procedure is done annually the rhizomes are new, soft and easy to remove.
About Deeproot Bamboo Barrier
Deeproot Water/Bamboo Barrier is an extruded 100% post-consumer high density polyethylene (HDPE) with multiple uses. As a Water Barrier it protects hardscapes and landscapes from subterranean water movement. When used around building foundations and medians, Water Barrier blocks tree and plant root intrusion, thereby preventing moisture loss and associated settling. When used as a Bamboo Barrier it prevents the unwanted spread of bamboo and other invasive species. The smooth surface of the Bamboo Barrier acts as a root stop, diverting the rhizome and preventing unchecked growth. The material cuts with a utility knife but is strong enough to resist root penetration. When used as a root block the tree must be 8' or more from the barrier.

Click the picture below to view an interactive story map of the Guenther Euclid Stormwater Retrofit Project.
Through Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grant Funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) have entered into the Upper San Antonio River Watershed Protection Plan (WPP) Implementation – Stormwater Retrofit Best Management Practices contract.
The Guenther and Euclid Stormwater Retrofit Project allows the River Authority to implement demonstration stormwater retrofits. The low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) utilized for this project are identified in the Upper San Antonio River WPP.
The San Antonio River Basin’s primary source of pollution is non-point stormwater runoff. LID is a set of stormwater BMPs that addresses stormwater runoff. LID treats small, frequent storm events on-site with a focus on “first flush” pollutants. These are pollutants such as oils, pesticides, E. coli bacteria, and other constituents that, under a traditional site-to-street-to-stormdrain-to-creek stormwater conveyance system, wash off hardened surfaces and into our streams. LID also reduces the volume of runoff generated on a site, thereby reducing pollutant loading to the waterbody.
Demonstration BMPs were constructed in accordance with the River Authority's LID Technical Guidance Manual, and provide case studies of highly urbanized construction retrofits. At the River Authority’s headquarters on 100 E. Guenther St., permeable pavers, bioretention areas, and cisterns address pollutant export that flows directly into the San Antonio River. At the River Authority’s Environmental Center, 600 E. Euclid Ave., a series of rain gardens that run the length of the building, currently collect one third of the rooftop runoff. Two 22-foot tall cisterns were added to collect the remainder of the building’s rooftop runoff and are used in an onsite irrigation system.
The demonstration BMPs installed through this project have become a public education tool on how retrofits and LID can reduce storm water runoff and non-point source pollution.

May 2017- The River Authority staff created and published an interactive Story Map of our Guenther Euclid Stormwater Retrofit Project that you can now view! Take a virtual tour of the step-by-step process of constructing the stormwater best management practices, BMPs, in our low impact development, LID, retrofit project by clicking on the image above or following this link.
March 2017- The River Authority's Open House featured in the King William Association March 2017 Newsletter
The San Antonio River Authority invites the community to SARA headquarters for an Open House to learn how we are making the San Antonio River cleaner with our stormwater retrofit. Please join us on March 15th from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. for a short presentation and tour of the stormwater low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) that have been added to the site.
November 2016- SARA social media construction update post:
Our low impact development (LID)/stormwater management makeover is looking great so far! The Guenther St. permeable paver parking lot was completed last month, collecting stormwater runoff and filtering out its pollutants in a rain event. On the riverside of our main office we dug deep, and now have a wonderful rain garden planting bed facing the San Antonio River. Once completed, the rain garden will collect (up to 10,000 gallons of) rooftop runoff for use by its native, drought tolerant plants, and leave what isn’t used by the plants to slowly filter through the soil, exiting an underdrain into the San Antonio River.
Construction crews have also installed several cisterns throughout the property. The completed project will allow SARA to capture and treat almost all of the onsite stormwater runoff at the main office on Guenther. This means we are keeping pollutants such as bacteria, oils and grease, pesticides and herbicides, and metals out of the San Antonio River. Click here to learn more about LID and how you can be #WatershedWise.
October 2016- The San Antonio River Authority (SARA) featured an article in the San Antonio Business Journal titled SARA Awarded Grant for Stormwater Retrofits, by Michelle E. Garza. The article discusses sustainable development and why it is necessary to generate improvements to the health of the San Antonio River Watershed and why SARA is promoting best management practices (BMPs), such as Low Impact Development (LID), for reducing stormwater runoff.
The LID BMPs planned for these two retrofit projects have been designed in accordance to the San Antonio River Basin: Low Impact Development Technical Guidance Manual. The retrofit designs also follow the City’s new LID development standards outlined and defined in the Unified Development Code (UDC), under the LID voluntary use pattern that was adopted in February 2016.
The article also discusses the growing demand for LID design and management training, which is why SARA provided two training programs designed to build local expertise. These classes are giving local talent and small businesses the opportunity to gain experience in San Antonio’s growing sustainable development market.
July 2016- Pardon Our Dust mailers have been sent to surrounding neighbors of the San Antonio River Authority's Main Offices (100 E. Guenther) and Environmental Center (600 E. Euclid). The mailer informs residents of the construction happening this summer to manage stormwater onsite.
February 2016- The San Antonio River Authority (SARA) was featured in the King William Association’s Stay in the Loop KWA newsletter, Volume 12, No.1 February 2016. The article titled, “Committed to Water Quality - SARA Awarded Grant for Guenther Building Retrofits”, focused on the importance of the stormwater retrofits planned for SARA’s main office located in the Historic King William District at 100 E. Guenther in the Historic Downtown River Walk segment of the San Antonio River.

Benjamin Franklin’s quote “Failing to plan is planning to fail” holds true when it comes to landscape design. We wanted to share a few tips every homeowner needs to keep in mind to help their outdoor projects go well.
- Make a list of things that you would like to change about your outdoor space, and collect photos of landscapes you like. Lists and pictures will help the designer understand why your space does not work for your family, the priorities for your project, and the overall look you enjoy.
- Think about your budget ahead of time. You want to ensure what you are asking to have designed and built coincides with the amount of money you want to invest in your property. This is best discussed before you begin the design process.
- Do your research! Ensure the companies you are speaking with are licensed, insured, and have local references.
- Communicate. Express your ideas, concerns, and thoughts about your project, and allow your designer to do the same. An open line of communication builds trust and helps avoid any misunderstandings.
- Have a master plan done for the entire property. This allows you to have a cohesive plan that could be separated into smaller, more manageable projects. Doing the project in phases might reduce your stress and could allow some time for your wallet to recover.
- Read the proposal carefully. The difference is in the details. If the company is not willing to create a detailed proposal, listing exactly what you are receiving, there might be a misunderstanding once the project begins. Remember: you get what you pay for. Beware of a drastically low estimate.
- Ensure they have, and stand behind, their warranties.
- Plan for the unexpected. No plan is foolproof; but, you can save your sanity by hiring an experienced company. For an experienced company, an unexpected event is most likely just a minor inconvenience.

What You Should Know About This Year
Jul 16, 2021 // By:aebi // No Comment
Factors to Consider When Hiring an Outdoor Architect
Figuring out what you want is one of the most important factors to consider before hiring an architect. You will need to have a solid idea of how you want your yard to look for you to know who can do the job. There are so many designs and styles that you will need to look at before deciding which one you want in your yard. Once you choose a design, decide on the colors, size, shapes, and building materials that will look good in the design you picked. With all these things in your mind, you will be able to look for an architect who can do this job perfectly. Getting the right architect for your job will give your yard a look you had anticipated.
Look for an experienced architect. If you want your project to be done as per your needs, find yourself a skilled architect who will transform your home to the desired look. Consider hiring an outdoor architect that has worked for many years in these field of work. Get to know the kind of work they have been doing before hiring the architect. Many of these architects might have been working for many years, but not all may have done a project that is similar to the one you want; therefore, you must hire an architect with the capability to deliver the kind of design and outlook you are looking for.
Have your budget all worked out before hiring a landscape architect. You should be able to afford the design you want for your yard and the maintenance that comes with it over the years. Knowing how much you are willing to spend will help you decide on the design you can afford. The budget will also help you to determine which landscape contractor you can afford. It will help your architect design an outlook that is suitable for your home with a worked-out budget.
The architect’s types of equipment are also another aspect to look for before hiring an architect. This is because the kind of equipment used will help determine how the project’s final product will look. An architect with improved technological machines will deliver a more desirable look for your project than one who has machinery used years ago. Having these modern technological machines is a guarantee of fast delivery of work.
After your project has been completed in the desired look, you will need to have a maintenance plan to remain in perfect shape over the years to come. Therefore, you need to hire a landscape architect who offers both the maintenance plan and guarantees their work. Since mistakes happen during construction, they should be rectified by the same people who did the project than looking for a new team to do the job. The landscape architect who did the original project will do a better job in maintaining the project. So it is advisable to hire an architect who provides both the maintenance plan and a guarantee for their work done.


For gardeners who have little to no experience in building raised beds, don’t overlook this post!
Here are the most common raised bed gardening mistakes and how to avoid them. We assure you that this article will help you save a bunch of money, time, and effort, especially if you intend to DIY your garden. Now, let’s get started!
Use No Method To Deter Deer
Raised beds are known as a great way to protect your precious plants against soil pests and small animals, like rabbits. But instead, you’re putting them at the eye level of bigger animals, such as deer.
With no protection methods to deter them, your raised beds are put in danger.
Solution: It is important to consider installing fences or nets around the garden. For the best results, frequently apply an odor-based repellent on the soil.
You Don’t Mulch Your Raised Beds
Raised beds help reduce weeds but that doesn’t mean they can 100% eliminate weeds, which explains why mulch is an essential addition.
Mulching also brings many other benefits, such as keeping your plants from water splashing during rains and moisture retention.
Solution: Mulch your raised bed garden reasonably. We highly recommend you to try wood chips.
Choose Wrong Plants
Most non-experienced gardeners make these mistakes – choosing too big plants while their raised beds are too small. This leads to two consequences:
- The growth of plants is restricted and disturbed, which affects their health. Plants would easily stunt or retardate
- Your raised beds are prone to crack
Solution: Our advice is when choosing any plant for your raised beds, always consider their mature size as well as the size of the root system.
Will your raised beds have enough space to handle that? If not, consider changing to smaller plants.
Create A Too-Wide Raised Bed
A raised bed will be considered too wide if you can’t reach (at least) halfway across it to the plants in the middle for caring or harvesting them.
Logically, a too-wide raised bed won’t give you more space for planting but will make every gardening task more difficult and effort-taking.
The recommended width of raised beds should be 3’ to 5’; don’t get wider.
Also, don’t create a too-long raised bed because it is frustratingly time-taking for you to have to walk in big circles around it.
Solution: If you have a large garden and want to optimize to the inch for planting, create many small raised beds instead of a big, elongated one.
Make sure the distance between them is enough for you to easily walk through and bend down when you want to care for or harvest your plants.
You Use Inappropriate Bagged Garden Soil For Your Raised Beds
The fact that not all bagged garden soil is suitable for raised beds.
The way to use garden soil is to mix them with the earth ground in your garden before starting to plant something on it. This step helps improve and boost your garden soil’s quality and texture.
However, when applying on a raised bed, the bagged soil is prone to be compacted, resulting in insufficient oxygen in the soil’s pore space and reduction in its drainage capability.
Solution: Choose the garden soil bags that say “for raised beds”.
Choose Wrong Materials
This mistake commonly happens in DIY raised beds.
Many gardeners reuse their old tires to make a raised bed but they don’t know that toxic chemicals might leach into the soil over time, which affects their plants and even their health if they eat them.
Same with pressure-treated lumber. Some people would think that this durable and long-lasting material is the best choice for building raised beds. But no, it isn’t. It contains too many harmful chemicals.
Pallets are another no-no but for a different reason; it is too prone to wear and decay. You will have to rebuild your raised bed garden multiple times in the future.
Solution: When DIY a raised bed, choose from these materials: bricks, stones, redwood, oak, and cedar because they contain no chemicals and are durable.
You Forgot To Plan For Irrigation
The backyard is a popular choice to build some raised beds.
But many gardeners forget to check if there is any outdoor faucet close to this area. And, in many cases, it ends up that they have to lug buckets of water all the way to their garden. A nightmare experience, huh?
Solution: To avoid that, you should check if an outdoor, easy-to-access faucet is near the spot you intend to build a raised bed garden.
For a more water-efficient solution, consider setting up a water dripping irrigation system.
Pick The Wrong Place To Build Raised Beds
Just like traditional gardens, raised beds need to be provided enough sunlight every day (usually 6-10 hours/day).
If you choose to place them near a wall or fence, your plants can’t receive sunlight from four sides.
In a bumpy area it would be difficult to build a raised bed. And, a low-lying area makes the raised beds prone to waterlogging.
Solution: Always choose a flat, high-lying spot for your raised beds.
If there are obstacles around the area, such as tall trees, fences, and walls, consider what they would look like in each season. Does their shade cover your raised bed, which restricts the amount of sunlight it receives daily?
We hope that by avoiding these eight common raised bed gardening mistakes and learning how to avoid them, you will have a more wonderful gardening experience with abundant harvests. Thanks for reading!


Dave Pelz’s backyard short-game playground is well-known in the world of golf. It has a level of prominence that only makes sense for the backyard of the man who authored The Short Game Bible. What isn’t well known, however, is how Pelz assembled his distinctive backyard.
There’s a company behind the grandeur: SYNLawn. Back in the summer of 2008, Pelz was looking for a turf company to purchase the most realistic turf he could find. He had already been affiliated with other synthetic turf companies. So he called SYNLawn for the job.
SYNLawn, which can be found in all 50 states as well as Canada, specializes in outdoor turf, landscape and playground surfaces with a successful golf branch. That’s why Pelz was interested. The turf led to building one green, which led to another and another and then many surrounding areas of fringe, fairway, and first-cut lengths of turf.
“It took months, maybe even a year,” says John Knox, manager of the SYNLawn golf brand. “They had to do some demolition back there…we moved a lot of dirt back there. Dave has some intricate designs that we don’t normally do.”
But SYNLawn made it work for Pelz, and now 100 percent of his backyard is SYNLawn products, even the sand seen in the bunkers.
Pelz’s backyard is unique and far from the normal SYNLawn project. The typical job is a 1,000 square-foot green, which costs between $13,000 and $17,000. The price depends on specifics in design like humps, bunkers, fringe locations, etc. — many adjustments that allow the owner creativity for however he or she wishes to transform their lot.
“We go there, physically take the measurements and look at integrating the putting green into the design of the backyard,” Knox said. “If [the customer] wants a hump, or if they want a tier, these are various things we build into the base.”
That base is made of stone, and requires a specific level of excavation to drain precipitation correctly. Depending on the region — the level of digging depends on the frost line — there is a day of excavation and initial laying of the stone work. It will take one more day to finish the stonework before a final day of laying the turf in place.
In just a few days, a typical backyard can become a golf refuge. From there, maintenance is minimal. Knox says the leaf blower that already owns a place in the garage is all that’s needed to clean the turf. Any precipitation flows through pores in the turf and through the stone as well. Anything left on the turf is then blown away to keep the green clean.
“If leaves get on it, blow it off,” he says. “Literally that’s it.”
Nowadays, Pelz is not only an ambassador of the turf product but also a partner of the company. (His son now runs SYNLawn distribution in Austin, Texas.) Pelz even created a product of his own to layer beneath the turf to make the greens more receptive — and act more similar to actual soil — for longer-range approach shots.
His addition isn’t for everyone — admittedly, not all SYNLawn clients have as much area as Pelz had to work with — but the idea of a backyard green is catching on with others.
Just last week, a well-known golfer called in and eventually wrote a $70,000 check. It was six-time major champion Tom Watson.


We love vertical gardens for several reasons: they add a lot of color to the space where you put them, bringing a sense of Zen and calmness to the space and to you. On top of that, they look very exotic and are low maintenance.
When you design a vertical garden is important to have a clear design in mind that takes into account the space where it is placed, the amount of light it receives and the amount of time you want to invest into maintaining it. Having said that, we think it’s safe to assume that most people will want to build a vertical garden that is as low-maintenance as possible. For that reason we have created a list of plants that will embellish your house, while implementing biophilic principles and being as easy to care for as possible.
This plant is a very popular option for a good reason. It is one of the more forgiving indoor plants, tolerating low or bright light, a lot of water or dry spells, rich or poor soils, neutral, alkaline or acid environments. They teach us about resilience as they withstand even the harshest conditions. This plant does best when it gets bright, indirect light but it can sustain medium to low light. Water it with 26 oz of water a week.
Bromeliads come in a lot of different colors and sizes, and have shallow roots, needing little space to grow, which makes them ideal plants for vertical gardens. You can mix and match the different colors and varieties to add interest, texture and dimension, which will make your vertical garden look thought-out and intricate. In cultures like Aztec, Mayan and Inca bromeliads are considered to be a “gift from God” that provide protection. This plant prefers full or partial sunlight and a cup of water per week during dry periods.
They are one of the garden plants that are preferred for their adaptability. Ferns are easy to grow, making your vertical garden very plush and luscious, with a lot of green foliage. Just like bromeliads, they also come in different kinds of colors and textures, which will add points of interest to your wall. Ferns represent different things in different cultures, but it generally symbolizes youth, new beginnings and hope. They tend to favor shaded areas and keeping a moist soil in between watering.
Succulents are beautiful plants shaped like big, thick flowers that comes in different shades of blue, green, pink and purple. They have become incredibly popular in the last 10 years because they are beautiful and easy to care for. Having very shallow roots makes them perfect for vertical gardens as it doesn’t require a lot of space to grow. Succulents represent femininity and endurance, bringing a sweet and loving message into your home. They require bright, indirect light and water once a month.
These go really well in a vertical garden mainly because its leaves stand up right, without drooping. They come in different colors and sizes, all with a tropical and wild feel to them. They require bright, indirect light. Water it once a week with 16 oz of water.
Moss is a great plant to use in vertical gardens because it’s very maleable and takes different shapes. For this reason, we use moss at Plant The Future to create our murals which have intricate shapes. There are different types of moss, which means that you can mix and match to create different effects. Moss is a plant that brings silence, peace and direction into your heart and your home. It requires no regular maintenance. Keep it in an area with indirect light and spray it when you want to bring its color back.
Plant The Future is a biophilic design studio that aims to bring plants into your space. The intention behind it is that you amplify the benefits of being in contact with nature. We create moss murals and walls, natural texture walls and vertical gardens; along with unique plant arrangements that carry a lot of intention. If you would like us to design and install your next moss mural or vertical garden, make an appointment with one of our team members who will advise and guide you through the process. Also, follow us on Instagram so you stay up to date with our latest projects and product launches.


I think we all have a secret love of rocks, because it's the most common thing I’m asked how to draw. To help you out we created a template of boulders in both plan view and elevation. You can learn more in my latest blog post: GARDENS ROCK.
There are so many fabulous ways to incorporate rocks into a garden. We were especially in love with this PEBBLE MOSAIC PAVING by landscape designer, Monica Viarengo. Speaking of paving, Betsy (who is part of our awesome team) created this PINTEREST BOARD of more inspiring ways to use rock on the ground plane.
Landscape designer, Jan Johnsen, celebrates this natural element in her book, THE SPIRIT OF STONE, with so many amazing examples of how it can be used in the landscape. She states that “stone is timeless, condensing the past, present and future within it’s core.” That’s pretty powerful.

The volunteers had an enjoyable week at Leigh.
Many thanks to the Harrisons who kindly provided their holiday home as accommodation. The team leader, Dawn, was thrilled to have her own en suite!
The team of 5 Japanese, 3 Korean and 1 Spanish volunteers helped to complete the planting funded by Rodney District Councils Natural Heritage Fund and then commenced clearing weeds and planting in the wetland area part way up the valley. These plants were funded by ARC’s Environmental Initiatives Fund. A lot of time was spent shifting the plants to the valley. They managed to plant about 400 selected wetland plants as well as clearing tradescantia.

The First Building of Huaxia
Huaxia’s First Building is part of the Weihai Quarry Ecological Restoration Project. It is an iconic scenic spot in the Huaxia City Scenic Area and serves as a dramatic entrance into the scenic area. It is the largest archway in China and is a great location for memorable photos.
The First Building of Huaxia was built according to the existing terrain and served as the basis of the pit restoration. It emulates the archway style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The archway spans 86 meters from north to south and is 21 meters high. The archway is also a five-story and six-pillar style which sits west and faces to east. There are three white marble bridges on both sides and in front of the square, just like the Jinshui River in front of the Forbidden City.


Extend The Trails!
June 27, 2018
Trails connecting areas around and north of Traverse City are in various stages of design and fundraising, and this week marks the launch of the public fundraising campaign to complete the loop around Boardman Lake. The campaign goal is to raise an $150,000 to go along with the $450,000 in private capital already raised for the project. It will support final construction for the last 1.8 miles of trail, a project 30 years in the making. It will finish the five-mile trail encircling Boardman Lake, which was first conceptualized more than 25 years ago with a trail master plan funded by the Coastal Zone Management Program. TART Trails is working with governmental partners at the City of Traverse City, Garfield Township, and Grand Traverse County to complete the final segment of the Boardman Lake Loop. Updates can be found here.
Since 2004, community partners have been looking into the feasibility of a non-motorized trail between Traverse City and Charlevoix. In 2016, the concept of the 46-mile trail was formalized with the Traverse City to Charlevoix Concept Plan that envisioned a 325-mile non-motorized trail network in northwest lower Michigan. Currently, construction is underway on the trail in Bayside Park in Acme. This is the first trailhead for the Traverse City to Charlevoix Trail. TART is working closely with Acme Township and the Grand Traverse Resort to connect the trail in Bayside Park to Deepwater Natural Area.
Preliminary design for the trail between Acme and Elk Rapids has begun, as the village of Elk Rapids approved a contract with engineering firm Prein & Newhof to lead preliminary design for the trail between Elk Rapids and Acme. Preliminary design is expected to be completed this winter, based on community input and a baseline budget for trail construction and maintenance. Work is also underway to determine how the trail connects through Fisherman's Island State Park, just south of Charlevoix. Top of Michigan Trails Council received funding from the numerous sources to complete preliminary design through the park. TOMTC is working with TART, Networks Northwest and the DNR to plan the route. Design is expected to begin soon.
“The completion of this long segment of trail through the park will provide a momentum for development of the rest of this trail connecting Traverse City to Charlevoix and the rest of the TOMTC’s 300 mile trail system in northern Michigan,” says Jeff Winegard, the Executive Director of TOMTC.

It started with a garden...
Staying true to Lisa’s roots in the garden, the various living spaces in the home were designed to have a dual garden view. Intimate courtyards and terraces were also added to act as transition spaces between the indoors and outdoors.
Overlooking the blue gum forests of Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve and with the spectacular gardens Lisa has worked so hard to grow, this is truly a magnificent estate.
The importance of listening
This client actually had another architect draw up a design for their home many years prior. The design was lovely… but they felt it didn’t capture their vision.
When the client engaged Playoust Churcher Architects, the first thing we did was listen.
“They were respectful of costs and they just listened to what we wanted. There is a lot to say for architects who listen. The house works perfectly with our needs – there is a flow that works beautifully.”
And the results? Well, they speak for themselves.

The Legends of Strife map editor is up and running and we could finally get rid of the original height map drawn in gimp. We got rid of the shapeless towering wall around El Clease, replacing it with various mountains and added little hills to the otherwise unnaturally flat ground. A few hidden crevices were placed to make the landscape rich with character and style.
Here are some comparison shots of the redone areas (old images on the left):
And some more screenshots of the landscape around El Clease:

SOUTHWEST GREENS FOR THE WIN
Southwest Greens’ synthetic putting green products are expertly manufactured in the USA to mimic the look, feel, and playability of traditional grass. An investment in a backyard putting green will boost the value of your property and improve your short game. So, what does a backyard putting green cost? Southwest Greens synthetic putting greens typically cost anywhere from $20 to $35 per sq. ft., based on the following factors:
Putting Green Dimensions
Although putting greens on the PGA Tour measure about 5,000 to 6,000 square feet, you can usually perfect your entire short game on a green that is much smaller. Below are some general pricing rules of thumb:
2,000 square feet and larger: $20 to $25 per sq. ft.
400 - 2,000 square feet: $25 to $30 per sq. ft.
Under 400 square feet: $30 to $35 per sq. ft.
Type of Green
Southwest Greens of Southern California designs and installs a variety of golf greens that utilize different manufacturing processes and different varieties of artificial grass. Fashioned to your needs, your backyard putting green can be adjusted for your speed preferences. We use premium-grade artificial turf that has the appearance and bite of organic turf.
The cost of a backyard putting green changes based on the complexity of the design and the skill level necessary to build it. Our developers and dealers have comprehensive training and experience to create the optimal design for clients. If you are looking for something far more elegant, we are an authorized partner of Nicklaus Design.
The accessibility of the site to our equipment and materials will have a substantial effect on the time and expenditures involved to install a putting green. Charges could be higher if we can’t easily access your location with larger machines, because this requires more physical labor. The requirement for intensive grading as well as other maintenance to prepare the property would also have an influence on the price.
We do not include site preparation prices into the sq. ft. pricing of your grass. This is due to the fact that a few areas will need existing grass removed, while others will not. If you reside in a location where grass grows, we’ll need to get rid of existing soil or turf. If you live in a desert region, there will be much less work to prepare the site for the installation.
While you might be eyeing a backyard putting green, after looking over our portfolio, you may want something more. Perhaps you want to add tee boxes, water hazards, bunkers, or other features. This will have an impact on the total cost of the project should you want to add interesting features to your grass.
Southwest Greens of Southern California understands how to bring truly remarkable designs to life. Since 1996, we’ve established a reputation for producing superb golf grass; drawing the interest of over 25 prominent PGA Tour professionals who have Southwest Greens turf installed at their homes. We consider ourselves to be the masters of installation technology. The cost of installation will depend on your area, landscaping requirements, what you’re looking for in a putting green, and any extra functionalities you want.

One day there will be a garden on every balcony, in every yard, on all the rooftops and in the most beautiful public spaces. Communities will come together, food and those who grow it will be elevated and cherished. Life will flourish, culture will grow, and the good life will be cultivated for us all.
We started building gardens because we saw a need for a system that would allow people to succeed at growing truly organic produce while fitting into their busy lifestyles.
We wanted to ensure our communities would have gardening success while overcoming the constant demands of constant watering. So we created the most efficient sub-irrigation system possible. Moreover, we know in our changing climate how important it is to value and conserve water--so we developed a system that wastes as little water as possible.
Our ethos has built VegCradle Projects from the ground up after we realized how a smart irrigation innovation could add health to modern urban living. Our passion for gardening and sustainable design lead to an efficient sub-irrigation system, the VegCradle.
Our self-watering urban terrace gardens are crafted with style - to look good all season long. Food Safe materials, and innovative sub-irrigation design ensures that your VegCradle Garden will stand the test of time, and help you and your family grow truly organic vegetables and herbs efficiently, no matter how small space.

We have been designing and installing landscapes for over 25 years.
Our specialty is Outdoor Living 'Enjoyed!' Our designs incorporate patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, sitting walls, fire features, pool patios and driveways to fit the scale and space of your home.
We also offer complete landscape designs which include plantings, water features, architectural structures such as pavilions or pergolas, pools, landscape lighting, and much more.
Our design process starts with a phone call to our office. The initial meeting generally begins with a lot of dialogue regarding what the project involves and what you as a customer can expect from us as the contractor.
We have 4 levels of the design that depend on the complexity of the project and how involved the layout is. The Ultimate goal of the sales and design team is to be able to collect all your dreams and wishes and make them a reality for you! Information about your project is then passed on to the foremen and crews in order to get your project installed as specified.
LEVEL 1: On-Site Design and Installation Consultation
The first level of design is usually a hand drafted line drawing.
- One of our professionally trained sales/design personell will meet with you at your home to discuss your dreams and ideas.
- The designer will review site details and begin discussing potential design options.
- This will give us a starting point to be able to verbally ballpark an estimate for the cost of the project installation.
- Many times our designers will leave you with a hand sketch of your project and a written estimate of the cost you can ssume for your project.
- For many of our projects, the hand drawn design is enough for our crews to take to the field and install the project.
- As the complexity of a project increases, (like with different levels and heights, steps and walls in combination with pavers) so does the need for a more complex and complicated drawings and estimates.
LEVEL 2: Design Center Visit
The second level of design is a consultation that's done with you in our showroom. This usually occurs following a site visit by one of our sales personell, but doesn't have to.
- Meet with one of our professionally trained design/sales staff to continue discussing your project.
- Begin to look at the available product choices, design features, colors and patterns.
- Please call us to set up an appointment for these visits or click the link on the right. We want to be able to devote enough time to you and your project.
- If you are beginning your design process in our design center, please bring in a couple of photos of the project area with 1 or 2 dimensions of the space, and we will work with you to create a hand drawn design and get you a ball-park estimate.
LEVEL 3: CAD Drawing (design fees may apply)
The next level in the design process is to produce a CAD drawing.
- Allows us to get very detailed with the information we want to communicate.
- Layers of notes and graphics can be turned on and off as needed for each phase of the project.
- We have the ability to show paver patterns, border details, plant selections, future design elements and notes for everything. (A minimum deposit and commitment is required for this step.)
LEVEL 4: 3-D Rendering (design fees may apply)
The last level in our design process includes a 3-D rendering of the design.
- Assists in the visualization of the general design concepts and elements to be discussed.
- We have found this to be a highly effective sales tool when trying to present a more advanced design idea.
- This is not for the average project, but for those that are difficult to visualize because of the complexity. (A minimum deposit and commitment is required for this step.)
