Kane Garden Club
The Kane Garden Club's August "Garden of the Month" is located at 319 Birch St., a lovely residence owned by Tom and Sandy Kase. Tom is a forester and has chosen several trees for his garden, such as Mayapple and Hobblebush. The metal art, including a huge fish, and sunflowers in the back ground, was handcrafted by Sandy's son, Jody Aiello. One of the secrets of their beautiful garden is the dozens of flowers that bloom throughout the season, from snowdrops in March to New England asters in the fall. Many of the flowers were shared from family and friends. They include tulips, daises, lilies, coral bells, violets, and many others. The Kase family welcomes visitors and love to have people walk around their front yard and backyard to enjoy their beautiful flowers, trees and metal art. The Kane Garden Club urges you to stop by.

Reconstruction of an existing fountain that was not working any more into an eye catching focal point by the front door of a luxury home in Waterkloof. The existing fountain did not compliment the house anymore and we needed to reconstruct it into something exiting.
The area is visible from all angles. This meant that we must use elements that looks stunning form all the different angels. We decided to make use of a fountain ring. It is something different and stimulates all the senses. We had to reconstruct the existing fountain from a convex shape to a concave shape, re-seal it with resin and finish it off with a nice square bullnose. It was painted the same color as the house.
The fountain was filled with water and the garden around it was re-designed into a more usable area for the butler to wash the motor vehicles. The new fountain looks good from all the different angles.

Hue was once Vietnam’s capital and the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. Rich in history and monuments, the city itself is a work in progress with little choice of restaurants and hotels. While I didn’t fall in love with the city, I was impressed by the sights it had to offer. As the former home to the last emperor of Vietnam, there are plenty worth seeing.

Belgard Natural collection has quickly become a favorite of ours for its beautiful detailed looks and natural feel.
The Arbel and the Mega Arbel stones feature an irregular base shape, with an expansive array of unique textures and patterns that mimic actual flagstone.
Plus, since these are compressed concrete pavers, they are much more stronger than your common flagstone.
The Old World collection is also a beautiful choice to consider if you plan on redoing your patio or driveway.
This stone is called Old World because that’s exactly what its made to replicate, the old cobbled streets of Europe with a natural stone cleft finish.

This inner-city garden was designed to meet the needs of a young family who like to entertain but still required solutions for storage and off street parking. Key to the design was connecting the two different areas of the lower courtyard with the upper carstand area. A solution was obtained through constructing an intermediate landing with built in seating and a new gas BBQ. An open style steel balustrade allows for safety between the two areas and visually takes full advantage of the depth of the property. All-weather protection provided by retractable awnings to both upper and lower areas ensures year round enjoyment. Sliding doors in the garage help the generous storage recede into the design.
Spotted gum hardwood timber decking extends the internal areas outside and the wrap around steps further connect the spaces by providing an inviting entry to the BBQ area. A large floating timber bench seat is both practical and breaks up the large retaining wall to the upper carport.
A grey and white colour palette provides a sophisticated look whilst highlighting punctuations of playful colour and contemporary styling to link the children’s play areas with the home.

A bastion wall built at Vittoriosa under Grand Master De Valette just before the Great Siege of 1565 has been rediscovered and is being restored.
The structure forms part of St James Bastion and was unearthed during extensive restoration works carried out on the Vittoriosa fortifications as part of the Government’s €36 million project, which also includes some of the bastions of Valletta, Mdina and Victoria.
The project encompasses the transformation of the Vittoriosa fortifications ditch into a garden, along the lines of works being done in Mdina.
Resources Minister George Pullicino, who visited Vittoriosa yesterday, said Mepa issued the permit for the new garden on Wednesday.
It will wind its way beneath the 18-metre-high bastions, from the recently rehabilitated Couvre Porte all the way to the Post of Castille, where the old British-built oil depot was recently demolished revealing the bastion that had been partly hidden behind it.
The ditch will be embellished with endemic plants and turf. Existing trees will be retained, except for those growing within the fortifications and causing damage. These trees will be relocated within the ditch itself.
An 18th century Caponier across the ditch was recently found under the trees and is also being excavated and restored.
The Ministry is also going ahead with its plans to pave the Collachio, the oldest part of Vittoriosa, which was used exclusively by the Knights until Valletta was built.

Do you have a special project in mind, but aren’t sure how to accomplish it? Working with natural materials usually involves skilled craftsmen, and custom stone fabrication is the secret to many of the gorgeous stonework projects that you see.
Despite what its name sounds like, custom stone fabrication is not the creation of man-made stones. Instead, it is the customization of natural stones to create stones that meet a customer’s exact specifications. This can be done for any type of stone-based project, though you may have only heard of it in the context of countertops.
Custom stone fabrication is both an art and a craft. You or your contractor work with the stone cutter to find a piece that will work with your project and coordinate with your other design elements. The stone cutters carefully consider each individual piece of stone, studying the grain in the stone to determine how to best reveal the stone’s natural beauty for your project. They then use saws and routers to cut and shape the piece, before polishing it for installation.
Why would you need custom stone fabrication? Actually, many people have custom fabricated stones in their homes and do not even realized it. If you have a solid-stone countertop, such as granite or marble, then it was custom fabricated. The space was measured and then the stone was custom fit for the area.
However, there is virtually no limit to what you can create with custom fabricated stones. Archways, gates, fences, decorative arrangements, countertops, and tiles are just some of the uses people have found for custom fabricated stone. The craftsmen at New Jersey Gravel and Sand will work with you or with your contractors to help find and shape the perfect stones for your project.

Since we knew there’d be way more to see at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens than we’d have time to explore while we were in the Pasadena area, we skipped the desert and cactus gardens (they’re supposed to be very good – we just have lots of desert gardens here in Arizona) and headed straight for something different: the jungle garden.
I really being enveloped in lush the rainforest-like landscape.
Thick trees were like an entire ecosystem of their own with vines climbing their trunks and air plants nestled in their branches.
We spotted ferns and flowers and plants with leaves the size of umbrellas.
My favorite spot was right next to the waterfall.
We received complimentary press passes to Huntington Library via Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Promote the greenification and beautification of national non-public use land to increase leisure and recreational space for people
The “Disposal Principles for National non-public Use Provided for Afforestation and Beautification Purposes” was amended five times on April 20, 2009; September 16, 2009; June 7, 2017; and November 30, 2018. To create new cityscapes, it allows regional governments and the private sector to conduct the greenification and beautification of the national non-public use land without any disposal or utilization plan and before the application for appropriation by authorities.
By the end of June 2019, 3,298 lots of national land with an area of about 352.22 hectares have been greenified and beautified. It not only significantly improved the environmental landscape but also lowered management costs.

In today's fast-paced world, the idea of having a vacation by flying to an exotic location could seem like a far-off fantasy. What if I told you that you could construct a refuge akin to a retreat in your own backyard? That is accurate! With a little creativity and planning, you can transform your yard into a peaceful retreat appropriate for a staycation. In this blog post, we'll look at some tips and ideas to help you turn your outdoor space into a place of rest and regeneration. In order to ensure that you can enjoy your backyard paradise all year round, regardless of the weather, we'll also, as promised, delve into the intriguing realm of pool heat pumps.
1. Define Your Vision
Spend some time imagining how your getaway will look and feel before you go right into remodeling your yard. Do you desire a hammock and a beautiful, tropical paradise complete with swaying palm trees? Or how about a warm, rustic cabin in the woods atmosphere? Whatever your vision, articulating it right away can assist inform your choices as you proceed.
Inspiration and Needs: Begin by gathering inspiration from magazines, websites, and social media to identify the style and elements you like. Determine the primary purpose of your backyard retreat, whether it's relaxation, entertainment, or gardening. Make a list of your essential needs and prioritize them to ensure your vision aligns with your practical requirements.
Theme and Budget: Choose a theme that resonates with you and reflects your personal style, whether it's a tropical paradise, modern minimalism, or a Zen garden. Consider your budget and select materials, furnishings, and landscaping options that fit within your financial constraints. Remember to factor in ongoing maintenance costs when making design choices.
Personalization and Flexibility: Let your personality shine through in your backyard retreat by incorporating colors, decor, and elements that resonate with you. Be open to adjustments along the way as practical considerations or new ideas arise during the planning and implementation process. Your backyard oasis should be a reflection of your unique vision, providing a space where you can relax and enjoy your staycation to the fullest.
2. Create Comfortable Seating Areas
One of the key elements of any relaxing retreat is comfortable seating. Invest in quality outdoor furniture that not only looks good but is also designed for durability and weather resistance. Consider a mix of seating options like lounge chairs, sofas, and even bean bags for a versatile and inviting atmosphere. Don't forget to add some outdoor cushions and throws for that extra touch of coziness.
3. Incorporate Greenery
Plants and greenery can instantly transform your yard into a lush oasis. Plant some colorful flowers, bushes, and even a few trees to create a natural backdrop that soothes the senses. If you don't have a green thumb, don't worry—there are plenty of low-maintenance plant options available. Hanging baskets, potted plants, and vertical gardens can also add a touch of greenery to even the smallest of outdoor spaces.
4. Install Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting can work wonders in creating a magical atmosphere in your backyard retreat. String lights, lanterns, and solar-powered path lights can all add a warm and inviting glow to your outdoor space. Consider incorporating LED lighting that can change colors to set different moods for various occasions.
5. Add a Fire Feature
A fire pit or outdoor fireplace can be a focal point for gatherings and provide warmth during cool evenings. It's also a great place to roast marshmallows and share stories with friends and family. Choose a style that complements your overall theme, whether it's a modern fire table or a classic stone-built pit.
6. Invest in a Pool Heat Pump
Let's now discuss a pool heat pump, one of the most important upgrades you can make to your backyard haven. When it comes to changing your yard into a resort-style refuge, a pool heat pump is a game-changer. It guarantees that you can use your pool in any condition. This is how it goes:
In order to successfully raise the water's temperature, a swimming pool heat pump transfers heat from the surrounding air to the pool's water. This implies that the water in your pool can stay comfortably heated even on frigid days or evenings. It is comparable to having a private spa in your garden.
Imagine spending the entire year relaxing by your pool, enjoying a cool beverage and dipping in whenever you feel like it. This wish can come true with a pool heat pump. Additionally, because it functions effectively without utilizing fossil fuels, it is a green option.
To choosing the best pool heat pump for your needs, take into account aspects like the size of your pool, the climate where you live, energy efficiency ratings and the reputation of those heat pump manufacturers. The pleasure and relaxation it provides will more than offset the investment.
7. Create a Relaxation Zone
Designate a specific area in your backyard for relaxation. This could be a hammock under a shady tree, a chaise lounge by the pool, or a quiet corner with a comfortable swing. The goal is to have a spot where you can unwind, read a book, meditate, or simply enjoy the serenity of nature.
Designating the Space: Begin by designating a specific area in your backyard for relaxation. This should be a spot where you can unwind and escape from the stresses of everyday life. Consider the natural flow of your outdoor space and choose a location that offers privacy and tranquility. You might opt for a corner with lush landscaping, a secluded nook under a tree, or a patio overlooking your garden or pool.
Comfortable Seating: The cornerstone of any relaxation zone is comfortable seating. Invest in quality outdoor furniture that encourages relaxation. Options like plush lounge chairs with cushions, hammocks, or even a swing are great choices. Ensure the seating is not only comfortable but also fits the style and theme of your backyard retreat. Adding small side tables for drinks or books can enhance the convenience and comfort of the space.
Personal Touches: To make your relaxation zone truly your own, add personal touches and decor elements. Incorporate soft outdoor rugs underfoot to define the space and create a cozy atmosphere. Decorative pillows, throws, and blankets can provide both comfort and style, allowing you to customize the space to your liking. Consider adding a small outdoor side table or a garden stool for a place to set down beverages, snacks, or reading material.
8. Incorporate Water Features
Water features like fountains, ponds, or even a small waterfall can add a soothing element to your retreat. The sound of flowing water can help drown out background noise and create a peaceful ambiance.
9. Outdoor Entertainment
To make your backyard retreat even more appealing, consider adding outdoor entertainment options. A built-in outdoor sound system, a projector for movie nights, or even a small bar area can make your space perfect for entertaining guests.
10. Keep it Cozy
Don't forget to add the finishing touches to make your vacation cozy and appealing. You may make your seating spaces look better by adding cozy blankets, eye-catching cushions, and outside rugs. Of course, having a stock of your favorite books or magazines handy might help you genuinely relax.
Creating a peaceful haven in your yard is a worthwhile endeavor that will pay off in many moments of enjoyment and relaxation. There are countless alternatives, ranging from plush seating and lush landscaping to a pool heat pump that allows swimming all year long. Therefore, create your own paradise at home rather than feeling down about the lack of a far-off vacation destination. Your serene backyard retreat is just a few steps away and ready for you to enjoy its peace and beauty.

A delicately bending line can give the perfect piece of center and eye advance that your scene needs.

It doesn’t cost a lot to cut new edges, and doing so can change the appearance of your bloom beds and yard. Another modest finishing thoughts to improve your yard is to utilize neighborhood plants when arranging. Plants which are local to the space are less complex to keep up on the grounds that they have are now used to the environment and soil. This implies that they are low-support.

Dove Grey Limestone Paving
Dove Grey natural stone paving consists of shades of light grey paving, resembling concrete paving with it's subtle colours. These colours darken when wet to create more depth, which really enhances the variations of colours.
To ensure a strong durability and consistent quality, this paving range has been calibrated to 22mm thickness.
We pride ourselves on offering the best prices to our customers; we source all our Sandstone and Limestone Paving directly from our trusted Indian suppliers.
As these paving slabs are naturally quarried, the colours will vary slightly in shade. These patio slabs will also naturally weather and change colour over time as well.
Natural Stone Paving for your Garden
If you're looking for a rustic patio with plenty of natural character as well as strength and long-lasting capabilities, Limestone paving is the right choice for you. Our Limestone paving has been used in various projects across the UK, including al fresco dining areas as well as commercial landscapes like cafe courtyards and manor houses.
Available Paving Sizes
900mm x 600mm x 22mm
Patio Packs: a mixture of sizes: 900 x 600, 600 x 600, 600 x 290, 290 x 290
Full Crate Patio Packs: 18.9m2 crates of mixed size patio packs
Please note: You can purchase as little as one paving slab, please call 01202 874207 for all quantities.
What is 'Square Edge Paving'?
Our natural stone paving is sourced from quarried in India. Within these quarries, the paving slabs are cut from large pieces of rock to then be cut down by hand to size. Square Edge paving is finished slightly differently; instead of a hand-split, fettled edge, the edges have been machine sawn. This process ensures a clean, smooth finish to the edges and guaranteed consistency across the paving stones. This helps create a smart and modern patio.
What is the Difference Between Limestone and Sandstone Paving?
There are many similarities between Limestone and Sandstone Paving due to both of them deriving from Indian stone quarries.
One benefit of choosing Limestone Paving is they are the more cost-effective, but keep in mind that depending on the colour, they may require more maintenance.
As the more cost-friendly option, Limestone is slightly more brittle when compared to Sandstone. But keep in mind that once Limestone has been laid, the durability will be the same as Sandstone Paving.
An aspect to take note of is that Limestone will naturally fade over time, whether or not Sealer is used. And this eventual fading does require some upkeeping to retain the original colour as long as possible. Maintaining the original colours in Sandstone Paving is slightly easier.
There are many varieties available for Sandstone and Limestone Paving. Sandstone is available in weathered and sawn options; and Limestone Paving are available in Square Edge and also comes in the weathered variety.
To give the colouring on Aqua Blue Limestone Paving its best chance, they need to be sealed. On the other hand, sealing is only optional for Sandstone Paving.
What is the Difference Between Limestone and Porcelain Paving?
There are many differences between Limestone and Porcelain paving; the major difference being how they are created. Limestone, as we stated earlier, is a naturally formed stone whereas porcelain Paving is manmade stone and is therefore available in many different colours and finishes.
If you want your garden to have a rustic, muted aesthetic, Limestone is the best option. But if you want to go for something more unique and vibrant, we suggest you choose Porcelain Paving.
As you know, Limestone will weather as time passes, with the colour and the surface texture wearing away slightly. On the other hand, Porcelain, due to the fact that its manufactured, it retains its colours and finishes over time.
It is important to know that there is a little bit more maintenance involved with Limestone Paving, because it does require jet washing every 6 months. Upkeeping Porcelain Paving is much easier as it only requires a hose down every 6 months to keep away any dirt and debris.

Another of our favorite early summer plants is the amazing southeast US native Dichromena colorata (aka: Rhynchospora colorata). Known by the common name, white-top star grass/sedge, this tough-as-nails groundcover can be found inhabiting moist ditches from NC to Texas. The floral show last for 1-2 months, depending on weather. Here, we have it growing in regular garden soil (sandy loam) amended with compost, and irrigated regularly. White-top sedge does spread, but not aggressively. Regardless, we’d recommend keeping away from nearby wimpy growers, which would be quickly consumed. Hardiness is Zone 7a and warmer.

All-around beautification at 2/3 Line of Vasilievsky Island
Best Project of Public Space by Student
About the project
The project provides for reconstruction and upgrade of the original concept offered by Peter the Great and Domenico Trezzini — opening of channels along the street lines of Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg.
The channel along 2/3 Line is presented symbolically and has two levels. The top one is a water tank with a transparent glass bottom. The lower level comprises public spaces that reecho the historical context. For instance, the underground bathing unit is a reference to the bathing pool in the Academic Garden.
Besides, plants are to be set for green beautification, and leisure sites are to be arranged.

The southern gateway to Casino has an iconic public space for visitors and the local community to enjoy. The Casino Drill Hall precinct is an attractive destination for passing travellers and a unique hub for local events.
Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan today announced a $885,000 Federal Government grant to further develop the site.
“I am excited to announce this funding to construct the final piece of the precinct master plan,” Mr Hogan said.
“This funding will be used to construct a reflective memorial walkway, titled The Trenches.”
“The Trenches will create a tranquil space to reflect upon the tragedy of war, and those men and women who lost their lives in service.”
“It will complement the $2.5 million Drill Hall site that was opened recently, and the upgrades to Coronation Park announced last year.”
Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow said the revitalised site would be a great asset for residents and future generations.
“The community can be very proud of what has been achieved so far and I look forward to progressing with this next stage of the project,” Cr Mustow said.
“Set on the banks of the beautiful Richmond River, the Drill Hall site already includes a new visitor information centre, a contemporary amphitheatre, an RV and caravan carpark, walkways and landscaping, and the Northern Rivers Military Museum.”
“The revitalised park will be a great place for families and visitors to appreciate one of Casino’s natural wonders in the Richmond River, and enjoy a wonderful public space.”


You can also add patio string lights to your garden. Patio string lights are great for adding touches of colors and creating an entirely different mood for several occasions. Since they are generally colored and not too bright, you can use them both temporary or on occasions only and permanently as an integrated part of the overall patio lighting design.
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.
Real Stone : Stone has the most natural outlook, most durable but also the most expensive type of patio materials. It require good skills to install because each stone greatly varies in shape and size. Additionally, mortar compound is used to adjoin these stones and settle as they dry. It is designed to wear well in high-traffic, need little maintenance and could last for decades.
Cheaper Indian Sandstone is not always the bargain it appears as it is thinner, or poorer quality and more porous causing leaching of the minerals in the mortar onto the top surface of the stone. There are some inexpensive granite slabs currently available that make a wonderful surface only slightly more expensive than Indian Sandstone. The more expensive options are Travertine, York stone, Basalt, and Marble.


Since many of us are preparing the garden for another season, I thought it would be interesting for us to share our past garden mistakes so others, including ourselves, can learn from what we did wrong. Ok, I'll go first..lol.
Last year we had a pool put in the back property. We had so much sand left over from the project, that after giving a lot of it away, we were still stuck with piles of the stuff. My DH noticed that I was mixing compost/manure around in the garden areas, so he decided to incorporate ALL of the very fine sand into the new garden beds, following in my compost tradition. After a few hard rains, I realized that the sand piles were gone (the stuff ran down the driveway when it rained) and I asked DH who took all of the sand. He very proudly mentioned that it was all mixed into the soil in the new gardens! I think I almost passed out at that point..lol. What I found in the garden, as a result, were beds of almost concrete-like soil which were hardened by the fine sand. Let's just say I'm still trying to get over it!

A Merger between Form and Function
At Rockwerx, we are interested in what you are interested in – if there is something you want to see built – we can build it. Over the years, we have constructed countless walls with our Gym Rock product, for commercial and recreational facilities alike, and still many more Natural Rock walls for those customers that really want the look and feel of real, textured rock. With continued interest from our customers in a natural looking product that would also offer the greatest degree of flexibility in terms of functional options for climbing – we decided to further develop a Sculpted Rock finish for our walls.
Features, Rock Formations, and a Refined Texture Finish
Our Sculpted Rock product is designed with featured corners, arêtes, overhangs and natural rock artistic touches throughout. The difference is that we design the walls with larger areas of open and flat surfaces with a simpler finish more like that of our Gym Rock, which also provide excellent options for the placement of more modular handholds.
As with all of our products, we can do customized texture colorations, crack installations, and other custom features depending on the specific desires for the look and feel of your wall. While Natural Rock walls are designed specifically to be climbable in many variations with the natural features only, our Sculpted Rock walls may still allow natural possibilities but also encourage climbing on paths that may move from modular hand and footholds through the use of featured portions of the wall for foot smearing, edging, and small handholds.
Affordability with Substance
The primary advantage of Sculpted Rock is that you can get the primary look of Natural Rock throughout much of your climbing wall, at a percentage of the cost. For similar square footage of climbing terrain, the cost may be as little as one-third of the price for Natural Rock. And the options for design remain nearly limitless. We can build Sculpted Rock for outdoor or indoor walls, and in various forms such as towers, pillars, and arches, as seen at camps, schools, and recreation and fitness centers. We can also blend areas of your wall design to incorporate sections of Sculpted Rock connecting to Gym Rock or Natural Rock. Call our toll-free number or just send us an email to discuss the options – let’s hear your ideas!

Poor soil in your yard? No space for a full-size garden? Containers to the rescue.
How to Plant in a pot or container? There are so many good things about potted plants and container gardens because they’re perfect little mini gardens, tucked away in a pot and can be placed anywhere around your home or landscape. Planting in containers creates instant visual appeal, no matter where you place them. They’re fun to design and easy to plant.
Gather your plant(s), potting soil & container.
Layer the bottom of the container with soil, also leave enough room for the plant(s). Gravel is also recommended for the better drainage.
Carefully remove the plant(s) from their original containers.
Disturb the roots a little, since this will help them grow better.
Arrange in your container, leave equal spaces between each plant (if multiple), fill in with potting soil. Gravel is optional on the top of your soil for additional drainage.
Water well and drain completely once the soil is settled, therefore you may need to fill in with extra soil
Many plants, like herbs, need a sunny location that gets 5-6 hours of sunlight each day; let your planter dry thoroughly between watering, and use often! Take a closer look at some of your favorite summer containers for gardening to enhance your home entryway by immediately adding beauty to it. There’s a wide variety of materials and styles to choose from. Make sure the container has holes in the bottom for proper drainage, otherwise you can drill holes with a large drill bit.


Many folks make the mistake of cutting or trimming off small divisions that are overhanging. Instead, you are going to desire to cut off more main branches in order to give a longer-term alternative. Thus, look at the shrub and then discover a few of the greatest even larger branches to lower down.
Measure two. A Few Cuts
Future, you are going to desire to cut on each division in a particular method to avert the branch out of getting ripped out of the shrub and to guarantee that the lower section could still regrow, permitting the tree to live. In order todo this, just slice on the branches that you don’t desire. Next, cut midway from your trunk of the shrub into the mid point of the branch. Eventually, minimize near the bottom of the branch close to the trunk of tree.

Are you ready to embark on a creative journey and build your very own stunning boulder wall? At Utah Boulder Walls, we’re thrilled to guide you through this transformative process. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll provide you with a step-by-step roadmap to crafting a captivating boulder wall that not only enhances your landscape but also becomes a source of pride. Let’s get started on turning your vision into a reality!
Building a boulder wall is a rewarding endeavor that combines creativity and craftsmanship. By following this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn the art of turning rugged rocks into a captivating structure that adds character to your outdoor space.
Gathering Your Tools and Materials
To start, gather the necessary tools and materials, which may include boulders of various sizes, crushed stone, landscape fabric, drainage pipe, concrete mix, a shovel, a wheelbarrow, a level, and safety equipment.
Choosing the Perfect Location
Select a location for your boulder wall that complements your landscape. Consider factors such as soil composition, drainage, and aesthetics. Mark the area to outline the wall’s shape and height.
Preparing the Base
Clear the marked area of vegetation and debris. Dig a trench for the base, ensuring it’s level and slightly wider than the boulders. Add a layer of crushed stone and compact it for stability.
Placing the Foundation Boulders
Lay the first row of foundation boulders along the trench. Position them firmly and level, ensuring they’re stable and tightly placed. Use a level to check their alignment.
Building Up the Wall
As you move to the second row, offset the boulders to create a sturdy interlocking pattern. Continue stacking the boulders, checking for levelness and stability as you progress.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Once the wall reaches the desired height, add capstones to the top for a polished look. Fill gaps between boulders with smaller stones to ensure stability. Consider backfilling with soil for plantings.

Pyongyang, March 14 (KCNA) — The spring tree-planting is at full swing in the DPRK.
The Ministry of Land and Environment Conservation has worked out an ambitious plan for the month of spring tree-planting and is dynamically pushing ahead with it.
In response to the instructions of Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army Kim Jong Il that the servicepersons should stand in the van of covering the whole country with forests and gardens, they are planting and tending a lot of saplings of good species in the barrack compounds and stationing places.
The working people have turned out in the spring tree-planting campaign with a high degree of patriotism.
In Sukchon County of South Phyongan Province, Anbyon County of Kangwon Province, Jongphyong County of South Hamgyong Province and all other cities and counties of the country, people of all strata are exerting efforts to creating forests of fiber-bearing, firewood, oil-bearing and fruit-bearing trees suitable to the climate of their areas.
The campaign is being conducted with main emphasis on creating forests and gardens in the revolutionary sites and areas along highways and around industrial establishments.
Each city and county in the country has newly arranged 20-60 hectares of nursery fields.
In Yonthan County, North Hwanghae Province honored with the “model county in the protection of land and environment”, alone, more than 203,400 trees were planted on the very tree-planting day (March 2).
A campaign for creating youth forests and Children’s Union forests is vigorously launched among schoolchildren and youth.
March and October have been set as months of tree-planting in the country.
The recent years have witnessed many successes made in the creation of forests through the vigorous campaign for turning the whole country into forests and gardens.
Trees of good species including pine-nut, larch, acacia, Evodia Daniellii Benn and large chest-nut trees were planted in over 100,000 hectares of areas throughout the country last year.

Isn’t it often hard to motivate ourselves to get going and get outside in the winter and yet how many of us feel the benefit once we get some fresh air?
Here on the Conservation project at Caring For Life we have been busy with many different jobs throughout the last year but the latest major project has been the designing and developing of the Bonsai Garden. Behind the plastic mesh fencing in the Sensory Gardens the development work on our new Bonsai Garden and access path are making steady progress. We are so pleased to be able to develop this new area which will be in keeping with the character of the sensory gardens whilst adding a new work area for bonsai workshops and a further area of interest for visitors. The conservation project beneficiaries have been busily engaged in preparing for the garden to eventually receive its permanent guests (our small collection of bonsai trees!) and new visitors ( Caring For Life beneficiaries, staff, volunteers and members of the public). This garden development has proved a valuable motivation for the conservation team beneficiaries to attend week after cold windswept week to see how things are progressing and to contribute to getting the garden finished.
One new member of the team has particularly appreciated being involved in finishing the various stages of the work and the opportunity the garden has provided for social interaction as we have chatted through each development together. Thankfully due to these concerted efforts the garden structure itself is nearly complete although there is still lots of timber to paint and a large new fence to put up. The most recent heavy work has centred upon constructing the new pathway which will link the bonsai garden with the conservation area and create a circular route around the medieval pond. Once this path and adjacent rockery are in place there is much excitement about the prospect of planting this area. It will retain its wildlife centred focus sat next to the pond and will have plenty of log piles, shrub cover and shady corners. One man attending the project is thrilled to be involved in the stumpery/fernery and the prospect of planting this up has kept him going throughout and is the next job we will do when he attends. This area will also contain plants specifically chosen for their winter interest such as golden Pines, winter flowering heathers, bright berried hollies and fiery dogwood stems. Having cheerful plants to lift the spirit is particularly valuable for those beneficiaries who struggle with the winter months as well as providing a living reminder of the colour and warmth of the spring ahead.

We took a trip today to the Nordnesparken here in Bergen to make the most of the last of the good weather. The Nordnes peninsula lies right in the heart of the city and separates Vågen, which contains the Bryggen area, from the south eastern part of the harbour area. This narrow finger of land has a park at its far end which follows the shoreline around the point behind the Bergen Aquarium and has fantastic views out towards the island of Askøy. The park is home to some very large trees and almost every vantage point has conveniently situated benches for those rare nice days when you can sit in the sun and enjoy the vistas. It is also home to a rather surprising gift from the city of Seattle.

Benton said the Great Green is a wide-open expanse ripe with potential, but that it needs to be leveled.
“It’s a huge valley that essentially becomes a mud bog,” he said. “It’s just useless.”
Mayor Sam Abed hailed the overall plan. He said improving the park was a key to the city’s goal of enlivening downtown and persuading more people to visit Escondido.
“We’re coming alive, but we won’t get a second chance to impress people if we don’t have a safe, family environment the first time they come,” Abed said.
Wendy Barker, executive director of the park’s Escondido History Center, also praised the plan this week.
“Activity is the best security,” she said. “Criminals want to be alone where they can do whatever the heck they want.”

Colourfast Finishes - Fine Exposed Aggregate Paving
Colourfast finishes are predominantly derived from the specially selected, natural stone aggregates used in their topping. As the name suggests, the colour of these pavers will not fade, as natural stone does not fade. Colourfast finishes are achieved through a unique shot blasting process which creates a fine exposed aggregate finish.
Colourfast finishes lend themselves to the design and creation of permanent colour contrasts on a paved surface. These finishes are available on selected Urban Pavers, Linneo Pavers and both 60mm and 80mm Interlocking Pavers.
These finishes are exclusively available from our Midrand branch.
Colourfast pavers are available in the following colour options:
Tips: Use the Ebony finish if tyre marks are a concern. Ebony is also the best option in disguising oil spills. Use the Ivory finish for demarcations.
Bosun Colourfast finishes are similar to natural stone finishes created by “sand blasting” or “bush hammering”
