The standard we set highest at OMA Construction is to complete our projects as environmentally efficient as possible. Before the idea of “going green” was popular, we had already instilled this virtue in all our employees and set in place a master plan to convert all our equipment to be more environmentally friendly. While trying to make the environment a better place, we found ourselves diverging into landscaping. The art of recreating what nature intended.


After seeing the Auckland Design Manual and the work they have done on promoting universal design, it is a pity that the designers of Auckland’s Freyberg Place didn’t seem to refer to it. Simon Wilson gives a good critique of the new public space, both positive and not so positive. It is good to see how he pinpoints what would be glaring errors to followers of inclusive/universal design. See the article for the design “errors” that really just amount to thoughtlessness. Form has overtaken function in this example. In a separate article by Chris Barton, the issues of design and development are outlined.
Auckland is a city built on steep grades in all directions. So accessible paths of travel are always going to be a problem. Freyberg Place is designed deliberately with steps, says Chris Barton, which are supposed to replicate lava flows. The steps are meant to double as seating, but there are two things missing: back and armrests and some shade and rain cover. While there is poor pram and wheelchair access, at least more mobile people could sit in comfort.


Clara del Portillo, a name we are starting to love, has outdone herself again. The Mimetic is a bench so minimal you would think its a natural part of the urban landscape. We can’t believe it’s not.
Mimetic is a concrete bench designed to integrate with the environment, a big size stunning piece. At the same time is able to pass almost unnoticed. It comes in three color options and it offers the possibility to be done in decontamination concrete.

After five years of planning and research, UT’s first living wall, a 10-by-25 foot honeycomb structure with carefully selected native plants, is complete.
The project, shepherded by former School of Architecture Dean Frederick Steiner and Assistant Professor Danelle Briscoe, was completed by students and volunteers from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The living wall is at the Northwest corner of Goldsmith Hall facing Guadalupe Street and was funded by Dr. Patricia Clubb, vice president for University Operations office and UT’s Green Fee Award, a $5 fee billed to all tuition-paying students.
“I love this project,” Steiner said. “It has the ability to make the ugly more attractive and has ecological climate mitigation potential.”
Other than the wall’s aesthetic and sociological benefits, it will provide building cooling, city cooling, storm-water mitigating, noise buffering and serve as a natural air filter.
Steiner collaborated with Briscoe, Clubb and Mark Simmons, who was director of research and consulting for the Ecosystem Design Group at Wildflower Center. Briscoe led the project while Simmons provided ecological knowledge.
During the project, Mark Simmons died from leukemia and Michelle Bright, an environmental designer at Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center and UT alumna, took over his duties.
“The living wall was a pilot project for the Guadalupe Parking Garage and was my last major project as the dean,” Steiner said. He resigned from his position because of the new campus carry law and took over as dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design.
“I remain a big supporter of the project. I’m really happy we finished during my last month [at UT],” Steiner said.
Briscoe said she hopes the wall will make students think alternatively about ways to take care of the planet.
“For the most part, you’re going to be seeing something like a honeycomb wall that happens to have a plant system to it,” Briscoe said. “Hopefully, it will let people see that when you talk about architecture, it doesn’t have to mean concrete.”
Data from the wall will be gathered and analyzed to determine whether other walls can be implemented on campus or throughout Austin.

Kapolei just got a little bit cooler thanks to nearly 300 trees gifted to area residents last week.
TOC partnered with the Kaupe‘a homestead for a community outreach and tree giveaway event. The giveaway featured 10 species of trees and plants -- most native, some fruit-bearing, all non-invasive.
Residents met and mingled, while deciding which trees were right for their yards. TOC volunteers were on-hand to help answer questions -- thank you Myles, Gloria, and Gracie! See more pictures from the Kaupe‘a tree giveaway here.
There was even talk about possibly forming a branch of The Outdoor Circle in Kapolei.
A very special thank you to Jeremy Lam and the Manoa Branch for propagating over one third of the plants at the giveaway. Also, thank you to Hui Ku Maoli Ola Native Hawaiian Nursery for working with us to identify and provide native plants ideal for the Kapolei climate.
Future events are planned. Connect with us if you are interested in participating.
The Greenleaf is the online newsletter and blog of The Outdoor Circle. Here you will find updates on the projects and accomplishments of our many branches throughout the state, as well as programs with statewide impact.

About Lodi Garden
The beautiful and serene Lodi Garden was designed over two dynasties by the Sayyids and Lodis in the 15-16th century. The park works as a breather from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially in the early mornings and early evenings, when fitness enthusiasts come for brisk walks or to jog through the manicured gardens against a backdrop of much-graffitied medieval monuments.
The gardens are also enclosing several tombs belonging to the Lodi and Sayyid era. One can climb to the top of some of them too but the steps are very steep and dark so it's strictly not recommended.

My work is usually to commission, often working on public art projects that are integrated within wider improvement schemes. I am used to collaborating with community groups, landscape architects, designers and other artists. I enjoy working to a brief and coming up with creative solutions to set criteria.
I see interaction with the public as a key role and I strive to incorporate workshops with school and community groups within my projects. I believe this approach nurtures a sense of ownership over a scheme of artwork that ensures a lasting legacy within the communities that the work is conceived to improve.

Vision for Stirling’s Craigforth Campus revealed ahead of virtual consultation
Ambassador Group has revealed its plans for a new multi-million-pound investment programme that will see the redevelopment of Craigforth Campus in Stirling.
The property development and investment firm will hold two online public consultation events on May 7 and 8.
The project team behind the proposals will be available for an interactive online discussion around the scheme, which if approved, will see the transformation of the 49.5-hectare site into a new state-of-the-art mixed-use facility.
All comments that are received will be used to shape the final form and content of the development, ahead of the formal submission of the two planning applications to Stirling Council.
Ambassador Group will submit two planning applications following extensive consultation and dialogue with existing occupiers and planning officials, that will see the creation of a new purpose-built office building in the north of the site plus a wider masterplan that will bring to life hotel, residential, leisure and retail facilities.
The ultimate vision for the masterplan is to create a sense of place that will open up access for all through the creation of a new Campus set against the riverside backdrop and surrounding landscape.
If given the go-ahead, it is anticipated the development would bring new investment and employment opportunities to the Stirlingshire area and beyond for many years to come.
The company is committed to ensuring the vision for the site reflects the needs and aspirations for the local area and is using the online consultation process to help shape its proposals.
Chris Richardson, investment director for Ambassador Group, said: “Our commitment to the redevelopment of Craigforth Campus and indeed the Stirlingshire area remains stronger than ever. We believe there is a real opportunity here to reimagine the entire site and bring with it many positive benefits and opportunities to existing tenants and indeed the wider local community.
“When approaching these plans, we’ve very much looked towards future-proofing the Campus for years to come. Every stage of this process has been carefully considered and we look forward to moving a step closer as we engage the local community and begin the consultation process.”
A key consideration in developing the masterplan will be connectivity both within the site and beyond. An active travel plan with a focus on walking, cycling and jogging routes along with public access to the Riverside and the Crag will be a central feature of the masterplan.
The two online public consultations, one for each of the proposed planning applications, will take place at https://craigforth-stirling.com/ on May 7 (overall masterplan) and May 8 (office building) with project team members on hand to answer questions between 4pm-6pm each day. Full details of the proposals will remain on the website after the question and answer session with members of the public able to submit initial comments on the proposals up until May 20.

You Can Enhance The View Of Your Landscape By Using These Guides To Trim Trees
When you look around, you will notice that most suburban have one or two landscape trees on their assets. These trees serve many purposes some offer shade, others privacy and others anchor the landscape design. Thus, this is the number one reason that you should take the time to take care of the tree and give it the best care. One of the ways that you can use to make sure that the tree is in good shape is by trimming back. Trimming of the trees need someone with skill and precision. If you do not know how to do it yourself, then you should get an arborist to do it for you. However, if you are the type that does not trust anyone to do it for you, then you should learn about some of the ways that you can do so that you trim the tree.
Thinning is one of the methods that you can use when you are cutting a tree. This is what most people have in mind when they call in an expert to do the trimming. This is the process of removing the excess branches and foliage from the trees. If you fail to do this, and then you get strong winds, then the branches will end up being susceptible to damage and this could cause serious injury or even your property being damaged. If you are wondering how you will thin the tree, all you need to do is to get rid of the trees and branches that are rubbing against each other. The most important thing to do is to make sure that you do not thin too much at the end of the branch. When you are doing this, you should make sure that the tree has its natural appearance on both the top and the sides.
You can also use a method that is known as windowing when you are planning to prune a tress. This is whereby you create a new window at the tree center that allows you to be able to see through the opposite sides. This technique is used when you have large trees that are growing too close to home and that they obstruct the view of landscape and yard beyond. To be able to window a tree, you need to choose one or more horizontal branches in the middle of the tree so that it can be removed. It is best if you select the branches with case as the aim is to make a window and not to damage your tree.If You Think You Get Services, Then Read This

The local authority recently announced the completion of its Concept Plan for the local beauty spot, which includes proposals for the creation of a new visitor and education centre, play areas, enhanced walking routes and public art trails.
The multi-million pound project is now progressing following a lengthy consultation process to discuss ways of improving the visitor experience at the forest park, on the outskirts of Hillsborough village.
Following the completion of the consultations, a Concept Plan incorporating the thoughts and ideas of local residents and other stakeholders was drawn up.
Speaking about the plans for the site, Councillor Uel Mackin, Chairman of the council’s Development Committee, said: “The council is delighted with the level of engagement it received on its proposals from residents, local community groups, regular users of the forest and statutory agencies. I would like to pay particular thanks to the Hillsborough Steering and Communications Group for its role in leading the concept design stage.
“As a progressive council we are committed to community planning and ensuring that our area is appealing to both residents and visitors alike. This planned development represents a significant investment in this charming village. A key aim of the plan is to provide a world class, innovative, natural recreational area, making best use and access to the forest in its entirety and build on this already very popular family and visitor destination.”
He added: “The first phase will include an exciting new Visitor & Education Centre, additional car parking, play areas, public art trails, interpretive signage and pathway improvements. These plans will be further scrutinised at the next stage of development following a public tender to secure the necessary architectural services, and more consultations.”
Dr Theresa Donaldson, Chief Executive of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, commented: “This project is a prime example of successful community engagement to secure the development of a local area to meet the needs of the local residents, community groups and businesses. The council, in partnership with statutory bodies such as the Forest Service and the South Eastern Health Trust, will work together to revitalise the forest park.
“This significant development is part of the council’s overall Hillsborough Tourism Masterplan, which supports the development of Hillsborough as a key visitor destination through the delivery of a number of tourism focused development initiatives to enhance the profile of Hillsborough, both regionally and further afield.
“It is also envisaged that this will be a very welcome and complementary boost to the area in support of the £16million investment announced by Historic Royal Palaces in respect of Hillsborough Castle and Gardens with a projected uplift of 200,000 visitors by 2019.”
The council has said it is looking forward to the Hillsborough Forest Concept Plan being further developed and the project delivering a new and exciting experience for visitors and locals alike.

When polished this leaves a super-smooth surface that maintains its heat in the colder evening periods and allows the owner to walk about in bare feet in comfort. This concrete can be stained to match any color choice and this permeates the entire thickness of the concrete and so never wears out.
So if most of the time you have to spend in your patio is going to be at night, it only makes sense to design the patio so its a great place to be at night. This means you'll do things a bit differently than if you were designing it for the day, though almost all of these ideas work perfectly well for daytime use.

Dallas Fort Worth Landscape Drainage – Lee Engineering Company
When our drainage experts visit homes in the Arlington and Dallas – Fort Worth area, we always take the time to discuss the importance of proper drainage. As many already know, poor or improper drainage can lead to a plethora of problems including foundation damage, erosion, and rot. When dealing with excess water accumulation in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, it’s important to understand the difference between subsurface and surface drainage solutions. There are many misconceptions regarding these two methods of drainage design, so we’ve put together a brief introduction to help clear the air.
Surface Drainage VS Subsurface Drainage
What is a surface drainage system?
Surface drains are very common and provide a safe, convenient drainage system. Surface drains feature grating installed flush with the surface of the soil. Surface drainage installation is pretty straightforward and, since they are made of durable plastic material, surface drains are resistant to corrosion and breakage. Surface drains can be used in concrete areas such as parking lots and garages where water tends to accumulate.
Are French drains surface drainage?
No, the typical French drain is designed as a trench and contains perforated pipes to absorb slow-moving underground (subsurface) water. By design, the purpose of a French drain is to mitigate groundwater. However, in Texas, we often see combo drainage systems that feature both a French drain (subsurface) and a catch basin (surface) for periods of heavy rainfall.
When do we need surface drainage?
Surface drainage is typically needed when there are issues with standing water around a property. Pooling water in a yard, driveway, or roadway, is a potential safety hazard and can cause property damage. During the summer in North Texas, standing water acts as a perfect breeding environment for mosquitoes.
When implementing surface drainage solutions in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, our goal is to remove water quickly after heavy rainfall.

… Is good for the city
Life for this city started with the South Platte River, and yet for decades we turned our back to it. But that’s changing. The South Platte is now seen as an extraordinary opportunity for recreation and for reconnecting with nature. And following years of research and planning, The River Mile has embarked on a $100 million effort that will reinvigorate this section of the river. Restoring its depth, flow and habitat. Significantly reducing flood risk. And making the river a thriving place for all sorts of native species … including humans.
The fun andfriendly river
When we’ve finished the restoration, the South Platte will invite more people to play, to fish, to paddle, or simply to sit and take a deep breath of nature. Here’s how:
Let it flow
If our research has brought to light one main idea, it’s that to the greatest degree possible, you should let a river do what it wants to do. Rivers want to meander, creating a variety of depths and conditions. Places that run deeper and colder to provide habitat for fish. Other places that run faster and shallower to help aerate the water. Also, rivers don’t like dams, which cause sand to build up and increase the risk of flooding.
This is why renovation work at The River Mile will include dredging six to eight feet of sand, narrowing and deepening the river. It’s also why we’re taking the dam and whitewater area at Confluence Park and relocating and redesigning it, creating a whitewater recreation feature that lets the South Platte naturally flush away excess sand as it gives people more ways to enjoy the river.
The South Platte is being re-energized as a thriving habitat for trout, humans and all kinds of living things.
Meanwhile, on the riverbank …
Much of our work to rehabilitate the river isn’t actually in the river. We’re also cultivating shoreline plant communities to include a greater diversity of native and pollinator-friendly plants that can support a wider variety of animals. And enhanced wetland areas will help filter stormwater entering the river from surrounding neighborhoods.
With this holistic restoration plan, river and riverbank become a symbiotic ecosystem. Just like nature intended.

Burnett Riverbank masterplan to be released
A DRAFT masterplan detailing the proposed revitalisation of a two kilometre stretch of the Burnett Riverbank is available for community comment from tomorrow.
The Bundaberg Regional Council, in partnership with the Queensland Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDIP), is developing a new Bundaberg Riverside Masterplan.
Council's Planning and Development portfolio spokesperson Cr Ross Sommerfeld said the Riverside Master Plan study area extends along a 2km stretch of riverfront bound by the Burnett River to the north, properties fronting Quay Street to the south, Tallon Bridge to the west, and Bundaberg Creek to the east.
Cr Sommerfeld said a Bundaberg City Riverside Parklands Masterplan was developed by the former Bundaberg City Council in the early 2000s to set the platform for investment and development along the riverside.
"This plan is outdated and was in need of review. In 2014, Council undertook public consultation in connection with a proposed Bundaberg CBD streetscape revitalisation project which, while focussing on Bourbong Street, did raise the prospect for connections with the riverside precinct.
"Feedback from this consultation outlined the potential for improved use of land along Quay Street and the town reach of the Burnett River, with better connections back to the Bundaberg CBD.
"Initial discussion was undertaken with Council, State Government Departments, landowners and the general public in March 2015, asking for ideas and direction for the proposed Bundaberg Riverside Masterplan, Cr Sommerfeld said.
"Council, along with the consultants Place Design Group, have used this initial feedback to deliver a Draft Bundaberg Riverside Masterplan.
"The Draft Masterplan vision has been centred around three core principles to Activate, Connect and create an Iconic Riverside."
Cr Sommerfeld said the masterplan seeks to achieve this vision through the concept design and recommendations contained in the report that support the transformation of the Riverside as a vibrant valued asset within the Bundaberg CBD and broader region.
"To achieve this vision, Council will be working with the State Government to investigate opportunities to attract investment to the riverside through recreational, cultural and tourism activities.
"The Draft examines enhancing pedestrian and cycle connectivity between the riverside and the CBD and considering options for traffic volumes along Quay Street, including reducing freight traffic and through traffic speeds.
"We will be inviting comments from the public through an extensive consultation period to ensure the project is on the right track to create a vibrant mixed use precinct along the Burnett River," Cr Sommerfeld said.
Council will be seeking that feedback from all stakeholders between Friday 26 June and Monday 27 July with the first community meeting scheduled for July 9 at the Civic Centre Supper Room between 5pm and 7pm.
The Draft Bundaberg Riverside Masterplan is available for viewing online at www.bundaberg.qld.gov.au from 5pm Friday.
The public can make comments directly to Council via the interactive mapping or by submitting a form to Council's Strategic Planning Department.


Creating a home, planting a tree and raising a child is a mission and part of everyone's aspirations.
Following the ancient wisdom, in the sunny afternoon of 13.05.2022 Incotex Group implemented the planned initiative "Together to plant a tree" in the yard of the office building in Sofia. Different types of trees have planted on the green ground such as linden, birch, magnolia, katalpa and others.
We believe that on the one hand, we managed to diversify and beautify the yard landscape and, on the other hand, to contribute (albeit modestly) to controlling the negative changes in climate.
We all know that trees are the lungs of the planet and it is a matter of responsibility to have a constant focus on the importance and significance of processes such as tree conservation and planting.
The event turned into a united enthusiasm, good mood and satisfaction from the useful work done.

When done properly, landscape lighting serves more purposes for an outdoor space than just providing illumination. It creates a setting that improves the curb appeal of a building and makes outdoor entertaining feel exceptional.
Beyond the fundamentals, a well-designed system offers several advantages. Of course, safety is improved by bright lighting that increases visibility. However, by carefully manipulating the interaction of light and shadow, outdoor lighting can completely change and boost the aesthetics and appearance of any landscape.
For instance, combining wide, diffused lighting with soft down lighting results in gorgeous layers and a calm atmosphere. By using contrast, LED spotlights that are focused on interesting elements evoke drama.
However, achieving this magnificent look is easier said than done when you lack knowledge about the basics of planning and installing exterior LED lights. For a smooth process, we have listed some dos and don’ts of installing outdoor landscape lighting. Read on!
The interaction of light and shadow creates an atmosphere. You might think about using well lights at the foot of your garden walls to shine up. The texture of the stone will be highlighted by the interaction of light and shadow on the wall’s face. Additionally, placing a tree in shadow next to a fence or even a pool’s surface gives an otherwise flat surface depth.
Many people attempt to reduce their expenditures by using fewer fixtures and making up for them by using brighter lights. Install your outdoor lighting system gradually if you need to save money and rely on light emitting diodes to do the best job of uniform illumination at each and every corner of the architecture. As compared to their halogen counterparts, these ensure clear visibility with a longer lifespan and provide 60-70% energy conservation. Lighting professionals prefer them as they are sustainable, glare and flicker free, at the same time, they are adjustable according to different architectural aspects.
What else can you do if you can’t install your landscape path lighting in a straight line? Be imaginative! While you don’t want to create a style that is overly distinctive and appears cluttered or distracting, you might stagger the lights or position them so they glow down the pathway.
Along with these tips, experiment with layer lighting and brighten all over the area equally.
Flat surfaces, like pathways, won’t cast shadows. On the other hand, stairs require a couple of LED lighting solutions to eliminate shadows. Therefore, remember that every area within a landscape is different and requires distinct lighting practices and solutions to operate properly.
There are various exterior light fittings and fixtures flooding the market. So, don’t get overwhelmed, instead, look for solutions that can amplify the beauty as well as the functionality of the landscape with minimal maintenance costs and high-tech technology. In fact, consider purchasing luminaires from top LED lighting manufacturers like Wipro Lighting to not compromise on the quality, credibility and effectiveness of the products. They have numerous outdoor lighting solutions to choose from and place in your landscape. You can check their website to know more or contact the nearest retailer to get the details.
Properly bury your wires underground for your safety and to steer clear of the headache of frequently changing fixtures. It could be tempting to simply mulch them, but doing so increases the possibility of accidentally driving a mower over them or having them exposed to the elements. The best choice is to bury them underground, afterwards, you can enjoy your lighting while oblivious to their presence.
Furthermore, do not use too many accent lights in the outdoor lighting system as it can impair vision by making the landscape overly bright. Additionally, experts suggest not putting much distance between luminaires as it can create a black hole gap.

An in-ground fire pit can be cost-effective, however above-ground pits are more common. One trend is to create a “sunken living room” design for an above-ground fire pit. This offers the added benefit of built-in seating. In addition, the surrounding wall can act either as a wind barrier or a heat reflector, creating a warm and cozy room.
Above-ground fire pits can be constructed from a variety of materials. The most popular options are brick, natural stone and concrete blocks, such as Belgard retaining wall products. Although design options are endless, most fire pits are either round or square. One reason has to do with the shape of standard fire pit liners.
A backyard fire pit allows you to enjoy your outdoor living area year round, even during winter. Fire pits continue to rise in popularity, and it’s no wonder. There’s just something about gathering around a fire that’s inherently human. A fire pit instantly becomes everyone’s favorite gathering spot. It’s the ideal place to relax, unwind, tell stories, and get to know one another on a deeper level. If you’re thinking of adding a fire pit to your backyard, there are a lot of options to consider before you begin.
The wide range of portable fire pit options means it’s easy (and not overly expensive) to try one out before diving into a permanent location or design. However, make sure to measure the fire pit space available and review existing details in your home and furniture to help guide your purchase. Here, the pretty curve in the chairs as well as the richly finished color supplied easy guidance for the choice of focal point fire pit. Another welcome detail: The outdoor space includes a clever nook for stashing needed firewood.

We are currently designing an extra acre recently acquired by our long standing client in the prestigious Barvikha region on the outskirts of Moscow.
We have also produced initial design concepts for a private resort North of Moscow on the Pirogovo Reservoir. Here the landscape design proposals included commissioning UK experts in the relocation of large and mature trees, to train and bring new skills to the local Russian arboriculturists.
Moving to sunny climes, we are busy designing the landscape for a upscale residential and holiday complex called L’Amandier, after the Almond Groves that surround the development on the side of the Atlas mountains. The works have already started and should be completed by early Spring 2013.


EDF Energy has received planning permission for a habitat creation scheme including the creation of approximately 6 hectares of wetland habitat, wet reed bed, open-water and perimeter ditches within four ground water basins together with marginal drier reed habitat.
Soils excavated to create the basins, will be used across the remainder of the 67 hectare site to establish a landscape including grassland, heathland, scrub and scattered trees. Other associated works include realignment of the existing watercourse, the relocation of groundwater abstraction boreholes, a new pump house and fencing.
EDF Energy submitted a request for a screening opinion under the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations in October 2014. Our formal response was issued in November 2014.
A formal application for planning permission for the proposal (DC/14/4224/FUL) was submitted on the 23 December 2014.
Conditional planning permission was issued on the 9 March 2015 following the meeting of the Development Management North Sub-Committee on the 4 March 2015.
