TSW Landscape Architecture’s Featured Project
Juniper Complete Street Project
As part of a major streetscaping project in Midtown Atlanta, TSW was retained by Midtown Alliance to improve the aesthetics and function of Juniper Street. This $5 million project is a significant step forward for Midtown’s commitment to providing a better environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders to nearby Midtown and North Avenue MARTA Stations.
The Juniper Complete Street Project begins at 14th Street and continues to Ponce de Leon Avenue. TSW’s design for the project aims to keep two lanes of one-way travel and incorporates on-street parking and a partially planted median as a buffer to separate the proposed cycle track from vehicular traffic. New trees, shrubs and more spacious sidewalks will be added to enhance the pedestrian experience. Additional planters, benches, bike racks and trash receptacles will tie the street together visually and make it much more appealing and safer for cyclists and pedestrians.

The purpose of this garden was to create an oasis of serene beauty, incorporating four outdoor rooms that offer hospitality and peace. The "Cottage Garden" at the front of the house includes a walk through the woods. In spring, layers of white "cloud nine" dogwood make a display with tulips, azaleas and wild mountain laurel. This garden also shows bright colors in summer and autumn. The second room, called the "Natural Springs Garden" reveals a Japanese-style garden with koi ponds and a waterfall. A Japanese teahouse serves as the focal point of the space. The "Oak Lawn Garden," the third room, consists of memorabilia, such as a blue glass bottle tree, stone carved angels, and a Portuguese roundel, from the owner's former home in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. "The Back Yard" garden receives the most sun of all the outdoor rooms. Five foot azalea borders hide the compost area. Most of the 900 square feet of The Back Yard garden is grassed on two levels with a symmetrically spreading native pecan tree holding a high hung double porch swing.
People associated with this property include: Ferne and Arthur Koch (former owners, early 1960s-1971); and Rosa Finsley (landscape designer, 1971-present).
The folder contains a work sheet; site plans; six books of garden diary information and magazine and newspaper publication copies; and dvd.

In and Around New York City: The Reservoir of Central Park (Photos)
In and around Manhattan… The Central Park Reservoir is one of my most favorite places in Manhattan. Here are some photos I’ve snapped there. The Reservoir holds a billion gallons of water and takes up 106 acres of the park….
The Reservoir used to supply water to the city of New York but has been decommissioned. It still provides water to other lakes in the park, such as Harlem Meer.


While I’ve had some free time, I’ve undertaken a couple non-essential project. One of which was edging the beds in the backyard, I dug a trench about 6 inches deep and just as wide as a brick is long around the perimiter of the yard. I filled it the trench with gravel (about 300 lbs in all) and layed the bricks to create a nice wide edge to the beds. I then worked some sand in between the bricks to really cement them in place.
While I had the trench dug, it only made sense to go ahead and install low-voltage lighting (LED grow lights).
Installing hte lighting just involves burying the cable and clipping in these wire clips to connect the lights with the buried cable. The clips are hard to use and take some force to get the electrical connection working but once they are connected, just bury the connection and move on.
It took about a day to get everything dug and installed. I think it was well worth the effort and I’m planning on doing a bit more of it before the ground freezes this winter.

Tame Valley Wetland conservation project given £1.8m boost
A project to improve wetland areas in the West Midlands has been given £1.8m by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
About 50 hectares (124 acres) of the Tame Valley Wetland and its Grade II-listed structures, are being enhanced.
The project will also include the development of cycle and footpaths between Birmingham and Tamworth.
The work will be carried out by the Tame Valley Wetlands Landscape Partnership, led by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust.
Scheme manager, Tim Haselden, said he hoped the £2.5m project would create a "vital asset for the community and local economy".
"Our work will help to restore and reconnect this fragmented and threatened landscape, by creating new wildlife habitats," he said.
The wetlands extend along a 30km (18 mile) stretch of the River Tame; from Coleshill, in Birmingham, up to Tamworth, in Staffordshire.

Urban Garden Decking Sanctuary
Residential property in the heart of South West London going through renovation - the client wanted to create a modern, luxurious outside space. The location of the property required a high end product with a sleek finish that could contribute to modernising a relatively old building without taking away the character. The Hyperion White Ash Pioneer decking was the most suitable choice for this project.
The project used 68 m² of White Ash decking, installed on a treated timber sub-frame, surrounded by green and white shrubs and aged walls; this brightened up and completely transformed the space. With the different tones and colour that the White Ash offers, the beige stone steps leading up to the decked area work well with the decking and the smooth stone versus the grooved decking created an interesting contrast of surfaces within the area.
The client has used the Hyperion White Ash Pioneer decking for a number of their projects, they like that it is low maintenance for their clients and most importantly the high quality finish of the product is what keeps them returning to the Hyperion Pioneer boards.

If you’ve come to that place in your home’s life where you either need to remodel your patio or you’re starting from scratch, you need a good set of plans. But, before you have those, you’ll need to investigate the types of patio ideas that patio design ideas will given your particular space. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the features that you need to address in order to give you the best outdoor patio for your needs and tastes.
First of all, understand that what will make these dream patio features come to life is part budget and part creativity. Sure, you can hire a professional and with a nearly unlimited budget, create something that is taken out of the pages of a movie set or billionaire’s estate. In fact, this is what we’d love to all create. However, you need to consider some things before you can bring any of these patio features to life. Your patio design ideas must make sense given the ‘four S’ factors: site, size, style and soil.
The site you would like your patio to be built upon is going to be a large part of the design plans. If you already have existing landscaping that you are building around, you’ll need to make sure that you don’t hit any irrigation lines or have issues with roots of larger trees damaging the foundation or pavers on which you build your patio. You will also be best off if you are mindful of your position with relation to the sun. The sun will hit your yard at different angles uniquely in different seasons and times of day.
You may have some grand plans for your patio or are simply looking for a little restful or hideaway space to relax in. The size of your patio need not be large to give you huge enjoyment. It is all about the design features that will make your patio give you the feelings you want.
Speaking of designs, the next factor – style – is where the individuality comes through. Your style may be more of an entertainer or that of a lounger. Lounge lizards, as we are affectionately termed, enjoy our hammocks, swinging chairs or poolside chaises. If you are more of an entertainer, then perhaps you will be designing your patio for more of an outdoor dining experience. Outdoor rooms make great additions to achieve this.
Finally, or maybe foremost, you need to consider your soil conditions. More importantly, you need to ensure that your ground can accommodate your patio design. Your footers, pavers, stamped concrete, etc. will all be laying on the soil. Proper grading and drainage are essential to making your patio design ideas not only come to life, but endure.

Driveway lighting is a feature that will enhance your driveway design. It not only creates a nice ambiance but also provides enhanced safety.
There are a few different types you can use.
You can use low voltage lighting or regular 120V. What you choose depends on what type of lighting you will be using. For example, a post light (see below) typically will require 120V, while most other lights can be installed with low voltage. Also, see my link below to solar lighting.
The disadvantage of using to solar lights for driveway lighting is that if the sun did not shine that day, you are out of luck...the lights will not work that night!
Driveway lighting for central area and residence
If you have planting beds along your driveway, you can add groups of path lights. If you don't, it's a good idea to add beds if you want to use these types of lights. Typically, each path light will provide a ten foot diameter of light.
You do not have to have driveway lighting over your entire driveway. You want just enough to show the way and also make it look aesthetically pleasing. I like to alternate the locations on either side so they are not exactly even on each side of the driveway. This way you avoid that "runway effect" like an airport!
Path lights are not my favorite type of lighting along a driveway. I prefer some of the others below.
If you have an allee of trees going up your driveway, you can place two to three up lights in each tree. This provides subtle light and also accents the branching patterns of the trees. This is a beautiful look.
This not only provides light but also lights up the trees.
Post lights are another option. This type of lighting needs 120v, so it is not as simple as low voltage or solar lighting. In addition, you must purchase nice light fixtures which can be expensive. However, these lights can provide a thirty foot diameter of light.
lights can be placed along a driveway or you can use just one at your
driveway entry. If you want a row of them going along your drive, I
would not add an allee of trees. The height of the lamp posts interfere
with the tree heights.
For an old fashioned look, you can even use gas lights for driveway lighting.
Of course, these days you don't need the "gas lighter" to go out and
light them every night though! The system can be operated from the
house, which is more convenient.
If you have some large shade trees along your driveway, you can use moon lighting in them. This will cast the light downwards. It creates subtle light. The disadvantage to this type of fixtures is that you need a tall ladder to change the bulbs.
Lights can also can also be installed on top of driveway entry piers whether you have driveway entrance gates or not. These also use 120v electricity and will light the driveway entrance nicely.
You can include a variety of lighting techniques. You might choose one type of light for one area, such as path lights in a bed, and then you might light up a few ornamental trees. Try to create a natural look.

Putting in a pea gravel patio is hands down one of the best upgrades we’ve made to our yard – not only is it a great area to entertain and relax with the kids or a few friends, but it’s a low maintenance and low cost way to get a useable patio area in very little time.
This is an especially good choice if you’re looking to create a laid back, relaxed feel in the backyard.
When we bought our house, I quickly set my sites on an unused slanted side-yard that I thought would be the perfect spot for a comfy little patio. It’s a narrow area, but I could imagine setting it up with a farmhouse table, a fire pit, and enough seating for friends and family to gather.
The space did have some issues – it’s on a slope, rocky, and was overgrown with all kinds of weeds and roots. Not to mention a gigantic bush that was basically eating our house.
I’m sure it was a nice bush but there was no way we were sharing a patio with it.
Giant Bush That Had To Go
On top of that, the side yard led right into my neighbor’s driveway, which was less than ideal. So it needed some work and a vision to bring it to life.
My husband didn’t really share this “vision” with me, but the forces of Pinterest were on my side. I knew I could prevail! (And I did prevail. Otherwise this would be a weirdly anti-climactic post).
Post Giant-Bush, the Area Still Looks Terrible
Anyway, once I had my mind made up that the space could be turned into a usable area, I got to work brainstorming the best way to make that happen.
The first big question was what surface we would use on the ground.
Initially the idea of putting in a deck, or maybe even a brick patio, was appealing. But those were both in the “big project” category, and since we were already in the middle of renovating the inside of the house, I couldn’t really push for another big ticket item in the yard.
So I did a little research, and quickly fell in love with the idea of installing a pea gravel patio instead.
Pea gravel is the unsung hero in landscaping that I had been missing!
Benefits of a Pea Gravel Patio:
- Installing a pea gravel patio can easily be a DIY project if you have the inclination. Here is an easy to follow tutorial on how to DIY a pea gravel patio.
- It’s easier to install and much more budget-friendly than other patio materials.
- No matter what shape you want your patio to be, you can make it happen with pea gravel. The small stones are super easy to work with, as long as you clearly delineate the edges of the patio. Want an oval patio? By all means, be my guest!
- It’s quick. Our landscaper leveled the ground, put down a base layer, secured a fabric liner to the ground and then added 2.5 inches of pea gravel. The project can be completed over a weekend. (Again, you can DIY this. We didn’t, only because we have 3 very young children and we have our hands full at the moment).
- The stones provide for good natural drainage, and they won’t crack from freezes and thaws.
- Pea gravel is such a pleasant surface! It makes a soft crunching sound under your feet as you walk on it, which feels very vacation-y.
Bonus: a year later we still don’t have any weeds whatsoever.
(Note: you can walk on pea gravel barefoot, but it’s not soft like sand. I prefer to have flip-flops on if I’m going to be out there for long).
When I’m working on a layout (for indoor or outdoor spaces) I always start with a sketchpad and pencil, and I like to draw out the space several different ways, including arranging and rearranging the furniture on paper.
It helps to make multiple different sketches, trying out various layouts. I always have a tape measure and notepad close at hand for this!
When sketching out our new patio space, I realized I could fit not only a farmhouse table, but that I could also pull off the much loved pea gravel patio with fire pit setup that I’ve been coveting.
I’d even have room for extra seating for guests!
I knew that once we added the tall privacy fencing and the land was properly leveled, I would have exactly the blank slate I needed to get the look and feel of a finished outdoor room.
Here’s a shot of one side of the completed patio area, including our eating nook:
A wait staff would add even more to this feeling, but I don’t really have the means for that.
Eventually I’ll add a light fixture to hang over the table, but I haven’t gotten that far yet.
I’m not being whimsical with the mismatched benches, this is just what I was able to scrounge up on Facebook Marketplace, where I get most of my yard treasures. Next year I’m hoping to get a nice rustic farmhouse table and properly coordinating benches.
If you don’t have the finances to get all of the furniture you want right away, be creative and make do with what you do have! Look around your house, shop at thrift stores, and check out FB Marketplace. You can usually find something cheap that will do the trick, at least in the interim. Over time the space can evolve, and you can make upgrades as you go.
As you can see in the photo below, the pea stones get darker after it rains. They look nice both wet and dry!
Pea Gravel Works Really Well in Contained Spaces
This space is 14′ x 21′ in the main seating area, and another 6’x12′ in the “nook” for the table. There’s also a small section where the stairs lead into the patio, and we’re able to fit an old table and a grill there.
I knew that the pea gravel would be a good way to go as long as it was properly contained and had a clear perimeter from the rest of the yard. Having that clear perimeter is essential when using pea stones.
Styling Your Pea Gravel Patio
When planning a design and choosing furnishings for your patio, it helps to think of your outside space the way you think of your inside spaces.
Pea gravel is an unpretentious, casual option for a patio. It makes sense to have furnishings that are similarly laid-back, to keep a consistent style and feel to the area.
In your patio, the ground surface is like the carpet, or hardwood floor, in your house. And you want to make sure that the other elements work with the floor!
Whereas a brick patio might lend itself to a more formal feel, pea gravel goes in the opposite direction. It’s a natural, movable surface, and the resulting feeling is decidedly more casual than brick. So use that vibe to your design advantage! You want to find outdoor furniture and accent pieces that come together in a cohesive way, without needing to be “matchy-matchy.”
You can choose outdoor furniture and layer your space with design elements that compliment both the feel of the pea gravel and the function of the space, just like you would layer decorative elements indoors (plants, patio umbrellas, throw pillows, blankets, lighting, etc.).
Not all surfaces need to be shiny and new – rugged, aged wood and chipping paint look perfectly at place in lots of outdoor settings, including in a pea stone patio.
I wanted to incorporate a few important things into the pea gravel patio design: a fire pit, wooden Adirondack chairs, a grill, and a farmhouse table.
All of the elements I just listed maintain the informal feeling that you get from the pea gravel ground surface.
Fire Pit on a Pea Gravel Patio
I knew that I wanted a fire pit as a feature in the patio. Fire pits are so cozy! I love the smell of the fire and the crackling sound on a cool night. What’s better than that?! Plus, fire pits work great with pea gravel surrounding them, since you don’t have to worry about sparks from the fire causing any issues.
We opted for a moveable fire pit versus a permanent structure, and I’m glad we did. I’ve already moved the fire pit several times – to make way for a coffee table holding appetizers, to host a brunch, etc. I imagine we will be using the space in lots of different ways over the years, and this gives us max flexibility. When it’s time for a cozy fire, we just move the fire pit right back into its place!
I love the look of wooden Adirondack chairs around a fire pit, and these chairs are a great match for a pea gravel patio too. They share a relaxed, laid-back look, so they’re a natural style match.
One issue with a lot of wooden Adirondacks is that they’re bulky to store during the winter. The Plant Theatre Adirondack Chairs that we have are foldable, which is a huge plus.
This winter I’ll store them inside, which will protect them from the elements and make sure that they stay in nice shape for years to come. And because they’re foldable I don’t need to worry about them taking over valuable space in the basement.
I also love these farmhouse blue and white striped throw pillow covers as an alternative to the full seat cushions, or even to layer on top of the full chair cushions.
Enclosing a Pea Gravel Patio
To make the patio feel private and comfortable, I knew it needed to be enclosed. Once we had the yard leveled, we had a very small retaining wall built, and added some privacy fencing. I also like that the fence makes it easy to run string lighting!
We also added a wooden arbor to clearly mark the side patio off from the rest of the yard.
It’s really important to have a clean, clear perimeter around a pea gravel patio. We have simple pressure treated wood beams in the ground between the edge of the pea gravel and the grass, and they work well to delineate one space from the next. Medium-sized, smooth stones are another popular and attractive option to separate the patio from other parts of your yard.
One way or another, you’ll definitely need some type of boundary to contain the stones.
It’s never going to be possible to keep all the stones in their place – some are bound to make their way onto the lawn. But you want to try to keep that to a minimum. Even with three really young kids who like to mess up all of my areas, the rocks don’t stray too far into the lawn! A few here and there, but I can deal with it.
Plus, pea gravel is a low-key, unfussy type of surface. So – don’t get too fussy about it!
Tips and Considerations for a Pea Gravel Patio
There are a few things to keep in mind with a pea gravel patio:
- You’ll need a boundary to contain the pea gravel (we used pressure treated wood beams).
- Make sure you have a fairly level space to work with – the more level the better the result.
- Be sure to put down a fabric liner before laying down pea stone. You don’t want weeds to come up through your patio.
- Use approximately 2.5 inches of pea gravel to fill in the space. More than that is too shallow, but if you make it too deep it will be harder to walk on it.
- Some furniture works better than others on pea gravel. For example, benches are much easier to use around a farmhouse table than chairs, because you don’t need to constantly be pulling them in and out over the stones.
I couldn’t be happier with the way our pea gravel patio turned out.
It’s a practical and economical way to create a patio that your family can enjoy, and the look and feel of the final result is really nice, even when compared to its vastly more expensive counterparts.
If I had to do the patio all over again, I would go the pea gravel route without hesitation.

The Planning Application made for Phase 2 of the redevelopment of Wornington Green was approved by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Planning Committee on 15 July. This means that we can now go ahead with the preparations for developing another 321 homes. This includes 142 private homes, 168 affordable homes and 11 shared ownership. There will also be commercial units facing onto Portobello Road.
Phase 2 covers the following blocks.
The original Masterplan Planning permission set out where the blocks are to be built and how high they will be. This application covered access to the new buildings, the design of the homes and landscaping of the areas around the new homes.
Conran & Partners, the architects for Phase 2 worked with the Resident Steering Group to develop the designs for the new blocks and many of their ideas were incorporated into the final designs.


The master plan of Oman Botanic Garden, Salha disclosed, includes two biome habitats -- representing the southern and northern mountains in Oman -- six outdoor habitats (wadi, sand deserts, central desert, northern gravel desert
, sabkhas -- salt flats and terraces), a visitor centre and habitats pavilion, amenity areas for visitors, interactive exhibits, a research centre, a native plants nursery and Oman's first cable car service to go around the precincts of the garden.
The distinctive soft sand undulating regions of Thar Desert and gravel desert
plains around Nagarparkar, near the Rann of Kutch, contain remaining population of the caracal or the desert lynx (Felis caracal) and the only remnant population of the Indian wild ass in Pakistan.
Oman was the first country to reintroduce the Arabian oryx back into its natural habitat, which is gravel desert
, as early as 1982.
After all, I had spent the morning whingeing about sleeping on the uncomfortable gravel desert
Additional species from regional ecosystems such as coastal and mountainous regions, sand and gravel desert
, wadis, oases and aquatic habitats, together with agricultural plants will be hosted in an adjacent desert garden that the donor is planning to build.
The only way to the semi-nomadic village was by Land Rover, across a rough, arid, gravel desert
, not the sand dunes you see in the movies.
Even the diggings, which were 2,000 acres of pure gravel desert
a century ago--stripped of soil by giant nozzles washing out the scattered gold--are colonized by hardy manzanita, bonsai-looking pine, and some other highly adapted plants.


CYPRESS TREES (Cupressus sempervirens)
Few people can imagine an Italian garden, without images of tall, needle-like cypress trees springing to mind, so strong is the image of the cypress tree in Italy. The cypress tree’s name would suggest that it didn’t originate in Italy – even though its image really does symbolise Italy and everything that’s Italian about this wonderful land!
The Cypress tree’s origins are just as mysterious as it’s early uses and the folklore surrounding it! It is thought to be a native of the ancient Mesopotamia region between the Tiber and Euphrates rivers, which covered the area of modern day Iraq and Iran (once known as Persia). This area that was covered with Mediterranean forests was also the original home of the magical cypress tree. The same area, namely Persia, was also home to the ancient and equally mysterious Etruscan civilisation that inhabited Tuscany many years before Christ. The Etruscans regarded the cypress tree to be extremely sacred and it is widely believed that it was indeed the Etruscans that originally brought the cypress tree with them when the they began arriving in Tuscany.
The evergreen cypress tree grows to height of 20 to 25m and can survive for many thousands of years, outliving many generations of humans. The cypress tree’s longevity, the fact that it remained evergreen throughout the harsh winters and it’s heady resinous scent earned the plant a divine and spiritual status in Etruscan society. The Etruscans used the plant to line the entrances to their dwellings and they seem to have planted as many cypress’ as possible near to their settlements as they believed the fresh, resinous scent purified the air. On hot days one can detect the scent of a group of cypress trees from many metres away and it’s easy to understand why the Etruscans believed the tree improved the atmosphere with its fresh scent.
The wood of the cypress tree is very long lasting owing to its thick, resinous sap, which protects the wood from insect attack. In fact, the timber also emits a strong yet pleasant scent for many years and the Etruscans used the wood of the cypress tree to create sarcophagi and also in the cremation ceremonies themselves, so special was this plant to these early people.
In the Italian garden the cypress tree offers garden designers like me a tree that provides a vertical visual statement that really no other tree can provide. The evergreen, symbolic shape of this tree, standing s20m tall, appears to stretch skywards rather like the steeple of church and one could be forgiven for perceiving strong, spiritual connotations regarding the shape of this tree alone. Standing in the middle of a group of fully grown cypress trees and looking at the sky is most definitely a spiritual experience, as a strong link can be felt between the land on which one stands and abyss of the blue sky above.
Garden designers in Italy still use the cypress tree to line entrance driveways and create evergreen structure around the house and their presence clearly evokes strong symbolic sentiments. I find them indispensible for framing the stunning views that can be seen from many Italian gardens or as visual indications to guide the eye around my garden designs. The use of the cypress tree in Italian garden design is fundamental, however, care should be taken to not exaggerate the use of this immensely special, symbolic yet very subtle tree in Italian style gardens.

The Hon Dr Sharman Stone MP
Federal Member for Murray
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister
for the Environment and Heritage
13 April 1999
With help from the Federal Government's Natural Heritage Trust, Adelaide's green heart is undergoing facelift with 2,000 native trees, plants, flowers and grasses being planted on the banks of the River Torrens Linear Park, Sharman Stone MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Environment and Heritage, said today.
In Adelaide to inspect the work being done on-site, Mrs Stone praised the efforts of the Adelaide Plains Flora Association for getting the community-based revegetation project up and running.
"The native vegetation being planted will restore vital habitats and help bring Adelaide's native animals, reptiles, frogs, fish and butterflies back into this green haven in the centre of the City," Sharman Stone said.
"By eliminating weeds and other exotic species from areas of the park close to the River, the need to spray chemicals and fertilisers will be significantly reduced. As a result, water quality in the River Torrens should improve."
The association aims to plant 42 different types of native species including River Red Gums, Golden Wattle, Bursaria, Wallaby Grass and Native Violets.
The project will also generate community interest by establishing signage, conducting open days and school tours, and involving local schools in tree planting activities.
The Park is a popular recreational and tourist area incorporating a series of walking tracks and bridges, near St Peter's Cathedral. Linear Park was selected for revegetation because of the wide variety of eco-systems it supports, including grassy woodlands, shrublands, sedgelands and aquatic plants.
Mrs Stone said the Commonwealth was providing funding over the life of the program through the Natural Heritage Trust. To date the Commonwealth has provided $5,100 towards the cost of the project.
The Linear Park project is part of the South Australian Urban Forest Biodiversity Program, an integrated, citywide Bushcare program.
The Program is being funded through the Federal Government's $1.25 billion Natural Heritage Trust in partnership with the South Australian State Government, volunteer community groups, commercial sponsors, local councils, the Aboriginal community and peak conservation groups.
Over the life of the Program an estimated $4.5 million dollars will be ploughed into strategically coordinated conservation and revegetation projects around the City.
"Bushcare projects like the revegetation of Linear Park are helping to restore and protect our precious native plants and animals for future generations," Mrs Stone said.

Discover the roots and symbolism of these serene landscapes and pick up some tips on how to make your own
7 January 2018
Characterised by rock formations that mimic water and other natural features, Karesansui – literally ‘dry landscape’ – or stone gardens are the epitome of Japanese gardening. Also known as ‘Zen gardens’ outside of Japan, they have a rich history dating back to the 12th century.
Today’s stone gardens aren’t just stagnant copies of traditional garden architecture, but a constantly evolving expression of Zen thought, found everywhere from temple grounds to museums and even modern houses. Learn more about the origins of these tranquil, thought-provoking landscapes, and get inspired to create your own.
Origins of the stone garden
The oldest known description of the stone garden is found in the Sakuteiki, or Records of Garden Making, a text written in the late Heian period (11th century). It reads, “A garden of arranged stones that has neither a pond nor a stream shall be called a dry landscape garden, one that expresses a water-filled natural landscape without the actual presence of water.”
We don’t know exactly what this kind of garden would have looked like at the time, as none from the late Heian period still exist. And later Japanese gardening practices were heavily influenced by Zen philosophy, which was not yet widespread in Japan at the time when the Sakuteiki was written.
So the gardens it describes may have been somewhat different from their modern incarnations. Even so, it’s clear that the key feature of a stone garden – the idea of “seeing” water in a dry landscape – already existed.
Two factors influenced their further evolution into the modern forms.
1. Zen teachings The first factor was the spread of Zen thought throughout Japan. This school of Buddhism came to Japan from China, and became widespread from the Kamakura period to the Edo period (from the late 12th to early 16th centuries).
The first fully-fledged stone garden was created in Kyoto’s Saihoji Zen temple by the famous gardener-monk, Muso Soseki. His work holds a very important place in the history of Japanese gardening.
Muso was summoned to reconstruct the nearly forsaken Saihoji – formerly dedicated to another school of Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism – as a Zen temple. The reconstruction entailed numerous changes, including modifications to the garden. Muso decided to create a stone garden as a place for monks to practice Zen. Rocks hold a special place in Zen thought as expressions of the force of nature, and one Zen practice involves the contemplation of rocks as a way of becoming aware of that which is invisible.
2. Bonkei and Sansuiga The second factor that led to the development of the modern-day stone garden was the influence of the bonkei and sansuiga art forms. Bonkei, or ‘tray scenery’, is the practice of arranging sand, stones and tiny plants on a tray to create a miniature replica of natural scenery. It is from bonkei that the famous Japanese bonsai tradition evolved. Such trays were displayed at celebrations as decoration for the interior of a house.
Sansuiga was a style of landscape painting that was popular among Zen priests. Both of these art forms influenced the aesthetics and style of composition employed in stone gardens.
How the stone garden evolved
These two factors were what led to the development of the current type of stone garden. This new form also fit well with the advent of the wabi-sabi aesthetic, or the appreciation of that which is imperfect or incomplete. Stone gardens therefore began to be adopted outside of Zen temples as samurai and merchants began to create their own.
However, around the 18th century, in the middle of the Edo period (1603–1867), naturalistic gardens that favoured living plants stole the spotlight for a time, meaning that fewer stone gardens were built.
They experienced a resurgence in the Showa period (20th century), when gardener and garden historian Mirei Shigemori created more than 200 stone gardens, now deemed to be timeless.
Despite holding to the traditional rules of stone arrangement, his gardens weren’t blind imitations of the old ways. Instead, he combined his own innovations and modern aesthetics with traditional forms.
What will grow in a shady garden – and how to care for it
Stone gardens are rich in symbolism, many reflecting Zen thought and ancient Chinese philosophies. It’s necessary to be able to read this further layer of meaning in order to fully appreciate these gardens as more than just a collection of rocks.
For example, many gardens include the so-called Horai-jima, a representation of the unreachable island of immortals from Chinese legend – the tall stone in this photo. Smaller Tsuru-jima (crane islands) and Kame-jima (turtle islands), which symbolise longevity, are often built in its immediate proximity (not pictured).
Small stones that represent ‘treasure ships’, themselves symbolic of luck and prosperity, are usually arranged so one of their ends points towards the island of immortals. They are either heading for the island to claim its treasures or heading home with their spoils. Their load is indicated by their height above the sand waves.
Meanwhile, a Ryumon-baku or ‘Dragon Gate Waterfall’ (see photo below), which has its roots in a Chinese legend about the eponymous waterfall located on the Yellow River, is a known Zen symbol. According to legend, any carp – a species that can hardly jump into the air at all – that managed to climb the waterfall would immediately turn into a dragon and soar into the sky. This is also the origin of the iconic Japanese koinobori (carp streamers). Zen teachings use this story to explain the attitude a practitioner needs to have in order to achieve enlightenment.
In the photo below, the sand represents the Yellow River, the ripples represent the waterfall, and the rock that juts out represents the carp. This symbol is incorporated in the Saihoji garden as well; there, these rocks serve as a place for seated Zen meditation.
A sand pattern used to represent waves is called ‘samon’ (ripple patterns on the sand). This stems from the tradition during the Heian era (794–1192) of covering sacred spaces with white sand. Under the influence of bonkei, this sand came to be arranged in the form of waves to symbolise water.
Various patterns of ripples are used to represent river or ocean waters. Even in the same ocean you might encounter both big waves and mere ripples on the water’s surface. Although the large stones are usually more eye-catching, you can entertain yourself by contemplating the sand patterns and trying to guess what kind of waters they represent.
The patterns are usually drawn by a local priest using a rake or a broom. It’s said that Muso did not leave even a speck of dust in his own garden. He believed that the habit of sweeping a garden serves to cleanse the mind of worldly thoughts. Likewise, drawing ripples in the sand is useful for calming and purifying your mind.

How to create a modern stone garden
As long as you don’t think too big, making a stone garden isn’t an impossible task. Why not create a pleasant place where you can take a moment to rest from your busy life and calm your soul?
Don’t worry about breaking any rules in creating your own: these gardens are meant to change with the flow of time and don’t have to be copies of historic designs. Their cultural legacy is to create something that touches a contemporary viewer’s soul, rather than just blindly copying the past.
Although this garden has no grand stonework to boast of, it incorporates sand ripples, which are a major part of stone garden culture. The pattern is expressed by tiles laid out in the sand, so it’s easy to maintain, because the pattern doesn’t need to be drawn manually.
Instead of stones, a slight slope adds volume to the garden and express a view of nature. Planting trees around it in a pattern that reflects how they might grow in a forest makes the garden look perfectly natural.
It’s possible to create grand-looking scenery even in a confined space by just using small lanterns and stones.
Features where stones represent ponds are called kareike, dry ponds. One of their merits is that they’re easier to create and maintain than ponds with real water. Adding waterside plants, such as sweet flag (Acorus calamus), makes the illusion even more convincing.
Simple, free from luxury and unostentatious, stone gardens have an irresistible charm. Gardens that have been used for centuries for practicing Zen might be just what we need in the modern day to remind us to take an occasional moment from our busy lives and reflect on ourselves.

As landscape architects and planners, it’s always been our goal to find a balance between the natural environment and the forces of development. EP/A has been active in this process since 1962. The terminology for sustainable site design may have changed, but the overarching ideas behind it have not.
We’re excited to showcase the skills we’ve developed over the past four and half decades and pleased to say that we’re keeping pace with new methods of insuring that our work is as green as we say, such as designing for the point system used by
LEED. We also have years of experience in Low Impact Development (LID), using natural processes to reduce and clean stormwater runoff. LID provides natural beauty, wildlife habitat, and usually saves the client money when compared to conventional measures.

Fort Smith hosts design workshops for dog park at Chaffee Crossing
FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The City of Fort Smith, Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority and Sebastian County invite the public to attend two upcoming community workshops for the design of the city’s new dog park at Chaffee Crossing.
The workshops will allow the public to provide ideas, input and feedback on future developments for the new 24-acre dog park located at the intersection of Fort Chaffee Boulevard and Taylor Avenue.
The community workshops will take place as follows:
April 28, 2022, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Chaffee Crossing Media Center
7801 Ellis Street, Fort Smith
May 12, 2022, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
City of Fort Smith
101 No. 2n/a Street
Fort Smith, AR 72901
“Public input is an integral part of any public project design, but this one is particularly important because not only does it involve the public, but also their experience with their pets. We want to hear from each of them in order to plan the best possible design,” says City Administrator Carl Geffken.
The public can also contribute by an online survey, which will be available until May 6, 2022.
The final dog park design will be unveiled in a public meeting May 24 at 6 p.m. at the Fort Smith Board of Directors meeting at the Blue Lion at 101 N. 2n/a Street.
The joint project replaces the old Fort Smith airport park and the new park is scheduled to open in late summer.

We always run through a pre-tender estimate with our client. This allows us to confidently assure the client that their garden will meet the specification required at the price they are prepared to spend. There are no surprises. We pride ourselves on creating bespoke gardens that represent value for money and always improve the property's value and resale appeal.
The pre tender costing allows for any modifications to the design to be made before the contract is let. Examples of design modification might be:
- A smaller paved area
- The use of less garden lighting (more cost effective fixtures)
- A switch between paving products or a different type of raised bed
A designer should have the experience to know how to drive costs down without compromising a super garden design.
Garden Design Quotation
This costing process is applied to all of our designs from a tiny courtyard to a 5 acre garden build. The process is a fundamental step to ensuring our clients get the best product and finish appropriate to their budget. It also takes a lot of stress out of a garden build.

Downtown Mitchell intersection proposed to undergo major improvements as part of streetscape project
“This project would bring a lot of big improvements to the areas in focus. The streetscape would be very similar to what you see at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Main Street where the Corn Palace Plaza sits,” said Public Works Director Joe Schroeder during Monday's special City Council meeting.
As city officials look for ways to beautify Mitchell’s Main Street, advancing the streetscape project has come into focus.
As part of a $2.6 million infrastructure improvement project for a portion of Fifth and Ninth avenues, stretching along from North Lawler Street to Highway 37, the streetscape side of the project would add landscape features, green space and bump outs to the Fifth Avenue and Main Street intersection. During the Mitchell City Council’s budgeting work session on Monday, Public Works Director Joe Schroeder said the bump outs at Fifth and Ninth avenues would be the same design concepts of the bump outs and landscaping at the Corn Palace Plaza and Chamber of Commerce building on Main Street.
“This project would bring a lot of big improvements to the areas in focus,” Schroeder said. “The streetscape would be very similar to what you see at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Main Street where the Corn Palace Plaza sits.”
Confluence, a Sioux Falls-based landscape and architecture design firm, would design the streetscape features, if the council approves including the project in the 2022 budget that’s being discussed. Confluence is familiar with Mitchell’s Main Street, as it was the firm that designed the Corn Palace Plaza and the green space that was included on the bump outs.
City Administrator Stephanie Ellwein said the goal for the streetscape project at the Fifth Avenue and Main Street intersection is to complete it in conjunction with the infrastructure improvements that the city has plans to bring to a portion of Fifth Avenue.
“The thought process was that the intersections are going to be done and road surfacing, utility improvements and streetscape would be done all at once so we’re not tearing up new work that was just completed,” Ellwein said.
For the infrastructure work that would make the majority of the costs of the $2.6 million project, Schroeder said it will entail replacing old cast iron water mains and clay pipe to improve the drainage along Fifth and Ninth avenues, stretching from North Lawler Street to Highway 37.
“Everyone sees the street above the ground, but nobody sees what’s underground. So we would be replacing that old 4-inch cast iron water main with new 6-inch PVC pipe,” Schroeder said. “We’re focusing on 4-inch water lines that are cast iron and clay sanitary sewer pipes. We’re finding where those two are together and getting these projects together to get our new utility improvements in place.”
BID tax coming into play for streetscape project
With the aging buildings that align Mitchell’s Main Street, some of which were recently demolished due to severe corroding and hazardous conditions, the city has been honing in on ways to revitalize downtown.
In an attempt to begin the revitalization of downtown, Mitchell Main Street and Beyond orchestrated the creation of a special assessment tax roughly three years ago that’s known as the Business Improvement District (BID) No. 3. Since then, just over 70 properties located within the BID boundaries have been subject to pay a special assessment tax that is being redistributed to those properties with the goal of improving the downtown area.
As several downtown properties have been awarded funds for aesthetic improvements they have made to their buildings, such as The Collective and the former Cherrybees buildings on Main Street, Ellwein said the BID board has been reserving some of the funds generated from the BID tax to allocate for some of the work that would be included in the streetscape project.
Matt Doerr, former Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce treasurer, recently donated the roughly $19,000 he made off the sale of the Casey’s lot on Seventh Avenue and Main Street to the city’s streetscape project, giving the plan more financial backing to continue.
“Mitchell Main Street and Beyond was going to have some discussions about this with business owners to see if they would like an alternate to improve their space like the Chamber did in front of their space to really improve that corner as well,” Ellwein said.
While Fifth Avenue and Main Street is the only intersection included in the $2.6 million infrastructure plan, Ellwein said the Third Avenue and Main Street intersection is planned to see similar improvements down the road as part of the streetscape project.
With the recent approval of a California developer’s plans to remodel the former Crafty Fox building into a mixture of loft apartments and a restaurant, alongside the features of the streetscape project, it would drastically enhance the Third Avenue and Main Street intersection.
“I think you will see a majority of those features at Third and Main because that’s the larger enhanced bump outs where they were going to pay for the planters, trees and shrubbery,” Ellwein said, noting some of the landscape features included in the streetscape project will likely be budgeted out of the city’s entertainment tax fund.
In addition, Ellwein said there have been discussions of potentially camouflaging the electrical panels at some of the downtown intersections.
Schroeder noted the Fifth and Ninth Avenue utility improvement project would be funded without the city having to take any loans out. The council will ultimately have the final say in whether the project, which includes a portion of the Main Street streetscape plan, will be included in the 2022 budget.
“This project is planned to be consumed within the regular budget with no loan,” Schroeder said.

The site pictured above began as a sad, interstitial space on the campus of a large, land-grant university in North Carolina. The university commissioned its landscape architecture students to redesign the area and to construct their new design.
A little bit of earth-work was involved, but the primary considerations were aesthetic, and apart from pedestrian circulation, there were no wider infrastructure considerations. The work was interdisciplinary and involved collaboration with the university’s horticulture department, university housing, student affairs, university architects, and grounds management.
I wore many hats on this “design-build.” I ran meetings and lead teams, created schematic designs and construction documents, mixed concrete and helped install boulders — but my primary role was designing, procuring, and installing an exceptional woodland under-story “plant community,” which incorporated an intermittent stream and “rain garden.” The work resulted in exceptional place making — a node of engagement, activity, and community that became known as “The Artists’ Backyard.” The project won North Carolina’s Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Community Appearance.

“Landscape gardening” is primarily concerned with aesthetics and may be more akin to “highly sophisticated landscaping” than to “landscape architecture.” Landscape gardening does not typically involve hydrology, earth-work, elevations, or networks (sanitary sewer, storm water, domestic water, etc.), and it does not typically involve complex infrastructure.
“Design Builds” are generally comparatively small-scale design projects, which may or may not involve the elements specified above. The defining attribute of “design builds” is that they are designs that are installed by the team or the company that designs them. There is considerable overlap between “design-builds,” “landscape architecture,” “landscape gardening.” The labels are imprecise and they’re used loosely.
