Henriette Firepit February 21st, 2018 - 10:50:13
Stacked natural flagstones work great as well but youll need much more material. Moving away from natural stone you can choose to edge with curved concrete pavers. The most expensive option again is to brick in the entire firepit. Like with the brick lined pit, you will just extend the bricks up out of the hole and along the peremiter. Price is only one of the considerations for designing a firepit. Be sure that whatever you choose flows with your home and back yard theme. Hopefully this brief material guide can help you figure out just how to build outdoor firepit. Cost and style is completely up to you, whatever you decide though an outdoor firepit will make a fabulous addition to your backyard.
Procedure: First, we excavated a pit approximately 1metre (3 feet) in diameter and 800mm deep. The ground we were working on was very rocky so we used a backhoe and it was difficult to carve a smooth hole as you can see by the photos. Next we dug a drainage channel from the bottom of the hole to a lower point beyond the extent of the fire area. This was essential in this circumstance due to the heavy rainfall and the heavy soil. If your soil is porous it may not be necessary to provide drainage to the pit. In the channel we laid the plastic drainage pipe and covered it with gravel. Because we wanted to line the pit with the 600mm granite slabs we placed extra gravel in the bottom of the pit to set the stones on upright in a circle.
Choosing to put in an outdoor firepit is a pretty big undertaking. Its going to involve hours of work. Building an outdoor firepit is worth it though. A well designed firepit can make any back yard just pop. It provides a great gathering area for groups of friends and family. Before you grab your shovel though and start digging up the yard how about taking a few minutes to learn one part of how to build outdoor firepit: material selection. Lets look at the basics of a firepit. In its simplest form its just a hole in the ground. Chances are youll want something a little prettier than that though. So working from the inside out here are some of the materials you can use when figuring out how to build outdoor firepit.
Combine with screened, covered or open style. They are also made from stainless steel, porcelain, slate, iron, or cast aluminum, and with different designs and colors. Firepits can also provide beauty and warmth. Many have several types of cooking racks, some are designed well for artificial logs. Some are large to hold even the big logs you have to burn and there are sure small pits for those smaller patio areas for a nice small fire. An example of an affordable porcelain screened type is the Heatwave from Landmann USA. It costs about 60 dollars and is a great starter outdoor fireplace. It is portable with large wheels and has a cover with screen door.

With the beginning of the year 2024, the world of architecture and landscape design enters a new era where fences no longer merely serve their function of enclosure but also become a significant element of aesthetics and style. Modern trends in fence design reflect not only changes in architectural preferences but also a approach to sustainability, technology, and individuality. This year, we will witness bold experiments with color, form, and materials, each contributing to the overall appearance of residential and commercial spaces.
It is expected that color solutions for fences in 2024 will fluctuate between bright, expressive shades and more neutral, natural tones. This reflects not only current fashion trends but also the desire to create a harmonious blend with the surrounding environment. Materials are also undergoing changes, with a focus on eco-friendliness and sustainability, leading to an increasing popularity of recycled and natural materials.
Innovations in technology have not bypassed the realm of fences. The integration of smart systems and solutions, such as enhancing security and convenience of use, will be a key characteristic of this year’s fence trends.
Contemporary architectural styles also influence fence design, making them not just a functional element but an integral part of the overall architectural image. We will see how classical and modern styles blend into unique shapes and patterns, allowing fences to become true works of art.
This year promises to be unique in terms of fence design, combining aesthetics, functionality, and innovation. We will observe how trends, from material choices to technological solutions, will define the appearance and functions of fences, making them an essential part of modern landscape design.
In 2024, there is a clear deviation from traditional color schemes in fence design. Fence colors now not only serve the function of enclosure but also act as powerful tools in creating a specific atmosphere and style. Among the key trends are:
The choice of fence color plays a critical role in the overall visual perception of the property and landscape. Color not only reflects personal preferences but also affects how the fence blends into the surrounding environment:
The color trends of 2024 in fence design reflect broader trends in architecture and design, where preference is given to individuality, harmony with the environment, and boldness in expression. These trends allow fences not only to fulfill their functional tasks but also to become an essential part of the aesthetic image of the property.
In 2024, the trends in fence materials are dominated by a combination of style, durability, and eco-friendliness. Metal fences stand out, particularly due to their strength, versatility, and ability to adapt to various design concepts. Here are the key directions:
The choice of fence materials in 2024 is based on two key criteria: style and eco-friendliness. Metal fences represent the perfect combination of these qualities:
Thus, in 2024, metal fences become not only a practical choice but also a vivid example of how modern technologies and sustainable practices can come together to create beautiful and durable enclosures.
The year 2024 is marked by a surge in creative and innovative approaches to fence design. This trend draws attention to unconventional shapes and patterns, which become key elements in architecture and landscape design. Among the main directions are:
Modern technologies and materials enable the realization of the boldest architectural ideas in fence design. Some examples include:
These innovative approaches in fence design not only emphasize individuality and style but also make a significant contribution to the aesthetics and functionality of modern residential and commercial spaces. Innovative shapes and patterns of fences in 2024 symbolize creativity and progressive ideas in the field of architecture and design.
In 2024, fences become not just a fencing element but also an integral part of the overall architectural image. Modern architectural styles significantly influence fence design, making them a harmonious extension of the home and landscape. Let’s explore the main directions:
These styles not only reflect the architectural preferences of homeowners but also contribute to creating a unique and harmonious atmosphere both inside and around the home. Fences aligned with the architectural trends of 2024 demonstrate how design can be both functional and expressive, turning a fence into a significant element of the overall architectural ensemble.
In 2024, the world of fence design and architecture enters a new era where the key trend is the use of high-quality fences from reliable manufacturers. This trend reflects not only current design directions but also emphasizes the importance of durability, safety, and style in fencing.
Key Aspects of the 2024 Trend:
Designer Solutions and Personalization: Innovative shapes, patterns, and color solutions allow fences to become expressive elements of any property, reflecting the owner’s individuality.
Thus, the trends in fences for 2024 indicate a shift towards a focus on quality fences from reliable manufacturers. This is not just a fashionable direction but a conscious choice in favor of durability, style, and environmental responsibility. Investing in quality fences from trusted manufacturers is an investment in the future of your home and landscape, guaranteeing safety and aesthetic satisfaction for years to come.

Trellises or frames are probably one of the more useful structures to be considered in garden design. Why? They add a bit of visual interest and are at times functional! Therefore, if you’re thinking of creating a space that seems like an enclosed room or a special destination where you want to be in the garden, don’t hesitate to use one!
With trends in landscape design shifting towards ideas of sustainability, consider constructing trellises from common household items or throwable things. In other words, there is always a good reason to upcycle! Trellises are, by definition, structures that could be easily put together by a keen DIY-er at home.
Our practical examples of Trellises
We’ve listed some examples of trellises that we’ve used over the years in a variety of materials. Hopefully, one would appeal to you! Have a look at some of our project briefs and it’ll help to understand why the particular type of trellis was used in the design:
- Arbours – wood, metal with built in seating
- Obelisk shaped – corten
- Espalier frames – wood and metal
- Teepees – wood
- Rectangular with or without built in artwork
- Privacy screens with or without built in artwork
There could be a plethora of ways in which trellises can be used which we have not covered here. Other ideas could be:
- using it as a short fence;
- having it against an existent fence as a back border so a feature creeper can grow;
- as a prop to catch the sun for a low garden or low vegetable beds;
- creating a sense of height to a low space i.e. more of a visual impact rather than having a practical function; and
- as a means of kids play – e.g tunnels, mazes etc.

Our mission is to inspire people to take action and join us in increasing the presence of native plants grown from wild seed.
Our vision is that people create and repopulate landscapes to be abundant with native plants that safeguard wildlife habitat, support biodiversity, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2014, Wild Seed Project ethically collects and sells seeds of wild and uncultivated forms of native plants and educates the public through our interactive website, engaging events, and annual magazine, Wild Seed. We share information and bring people together around native plant conservation and horticulture to engage citizens in promoting native plant populations and restoring biodiversity.
As Wild Seed Project enters its sixth year of operations in 2020, our board and staff are excited to announce our new Strategic Impact Plan, developed to maximize our impact in the coming decade as we face the unprecedented, urgent, and entwined challenges of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. The plan details how we will accomplish our vision of rewilding the landscapes of Maine — building on our work, our network of inspired supporters, and vast repository of knowledge.
We welcome you to peruse the plan and hope you will find one or more initiatives in which you would like to be involved, as a financial supporter, as a volunteer, or both!

Informal settlements, home to thousands of South Africans, are usually a great way of judging how we are failing as a country. On any given day fellow South Africans are fighting through hopelessness, joblessness, crime and urban decay and nowhere is it more stark than in areas like these.
Monwabisi Park in Khayelitsha is one such area that inspired Danish multidisciplinary firm, Fundament Design to want to help with a public intervention.
Over the past two years the team, made up of co-founders Petter Thorne and Joshua Morrison, has been in collaboration with Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading to facilitate the improvement of a public space in Monwabisi Park.
Together with residents, the team cleaned up an area that was previously used to dump rubbish and they then transformed the space into a pop-up outdoor cinema. The team worked together to design the seating area, lighting as well as the screen.
With no marketing or advertising but relying only on word of mouth, the intervention attracted lots of family in the area to come enjoy outdoor cinema and be entertained by performances in the space during daylight hours.
“For us, and our own practice, this was a reminder and a huge learning curve for us. It reminded us what is possible when you allow people to get involved in their own public spaces ... in creating change,” said Morrison.


Queen Victoria Park is also a great place to learn about horticulture, as it features a mix of local and international plants, as well as themed gardens like a rock garden and hybrid tea rose garden. Each season delivers a unique natural treat, like the more than 500,000 daffodils in the spring, thousands of bedding plants in the summer, chrysanthemums and kale in the fall, and ice-covered branches from the falls mist in the winter. Benches, ponds and statues litter the grounds and plants are labeled to enhance the visitor experience. For something romantic, opt for a horse and carriage ride from the park.

The tee shot is downhill and inviting, however, there is a stream down the left hand side of the fairway and two bunkers on the right adjacent to the landing area. The green is surrounded by water on two sides with a pot bunker short left and large bunker long right. The green is wide with a narrow neck towards the back, providing a championship pin position. A dramatic and challenging hole.
The hole begins from atop an elevated tee and winds its way down to a generous landing area splintered by two fairway bunkers. Avoid the water hazard on the left and the bunkers on the right – a long iron approach to a green embraced by water and bunkered by sand.

Trail Connectivity Plan Envisions a Protected Green Corridor, Improved Access to Nature
The Highlands West Trail Connectivity Plan aims to protect the routes of four long-distance trails through six New York State Parks.
The Trail Conference is proud to partner with the Open Space Institute and the Orange County Land Trust on the Highlands West Trail Connectivity Plan, a long-term initiative to conserve open space and support accessible outdoor recreation in New York’s western Hudson Highlands region. The plan establishes a regional vision for recreation, conservation, and local economic development in a region that has seen increasing residential, commercial, and industrial development pressures.
Unveiled Feb. 22, the plan highlights a range of opportunities to permanently protect and enhance the landscape, working toward the creation of a connected, regional trail network. This green corridor will provide recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, protect critical wildlife habitat, and safeguard local watersheds. It strategically coordinates partners to identify, acquire, and protect parcels in eastern Orange County in a way that ensures permanently preserved routes for long-distance trails—the heart of the Trail Conference’s conservation efforts for decades. It is, in fact, the four major long-distance trails that converge in the western Hudson Highlands—the Appalachian Trail, Long Path, Highlands Trail, and Orange County Heritage Trail—that serve as the basis and inspiration for this expanded and enhanced network.
Ultimately, six state parks— from Storm King in the north to Sterling Forest in the south—would be connected through this plan. Spanning more than 93,000 acres, the area also includes Harriman, Bear Mountain, Goosepond Mountain, and Schunnemunk state parks, as well as privately protected lands such as Black Rock Forest and Storm King Art Center.
The Highlands West Trail Connectivity Plan includes recommendations that will make access to outdoor spaces more widely available. Already, many recreational opportunities in the area exist within a one-hour drive or train ride from New York City. The plan proposes new trail connections that will link popular town centers, train stations, and bus stops to nearby state parks and protected lands.
“It’s easy to focus on building new sections of trail, but this plan demonstrates the type of big-picture thinking needed to make smaller projects into something greater than the sum of their parts,” says Peter Dolan, Trail Conference Trail Program Manager. “By connecting preserved lands and ensuring public access along them, we seek to create long-distance trails that open up brand new ways for people to connect with nature. Perhaps someday, thanks to this plan, residents of the Hudson Highlands will look at the Highlands Trail and Long Path with the same recognition and reverence that the Appalachian Trail enjoys.”
The Hudson Highlands West Trail Connectivity Plan is the product of more than two years of planning, meetings, and interviews. Stakeholders including elected officials, nonprofit organizations, and state and local agencies were consulted to develop a regional vision and identify opportunities for meaningful open space protection and trail linkages. It builds on the progress the Trail Conference has made over the last several decades preserving land from Sterling Forest east toward Storm King.
Proposed projects include new trail creation; realignment and safety improvements for existing trails; planning for new park and trail areas to help reduce crowding at more popular state parks in the area; and trailhead improvements at existing parks to better welcome and direct visitors. Information on these projects, the Trail Conference’s involvement, and ways to get involved will be posted at nynjtc.org.

Garden Marigold (Tagetes)
$14.02 incl. GST
- Overall Height APPROXIMATELY 48cm
- The actual plant may differ as each pot has its own unique natural look and though look identical but never 100% similar to the image pictured here.
- Flowers are seasonal and plants may not be with flowers at the time of order/delivery.
- Tagetes is a genus of annual or perennial, mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family Asteraceae.
- They are among several groups of plants known in English as marigolds.
- Marigolds are a favorite, no-fuss annual that can bring the color of sunshine to your garden, as well as butterflies, bees, ladybugs, and other beneficial insects.
- Marigold is adaptable to different types of soil conditions and thus can be grown successfully in a wide variety of soils.
- However, a deep, fertile, friable soil having good water holding capacity, well-drained, and nearer to neutral in reaction (pH 7.0 – 7.5) is most desirable.
- A complete fertilizer with NPK 15-15-15 is ideal.
- Most thrive in full sun, taking hot, sunny exposures in stride.
- Marigolds can even handle the reflected heat and light of paved surfaces as long as they get regular moisture.
- However, marigolds will tolerate up to 20% shade if there is bright light the rest of the day.
- Give them enough water so that the soil is moist to a depth of 6 to 8 inches.
- If the weather is unusually hot or windy, they'll need extra water.
- Water marigolds in pots when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil is dry.


Introduction: Designing and constructing captivating water features requires a meticulous and comprehensive approach. Fountain People, a renowned designer and manufacturer of water feature equipment, understands the intricacies involved in creating stunning aquatic spectacles. In this blog post, we will explore Fountain People's design process and the range of services they offer to bring water features to life.
- Design Agreement:
Fountain People believes in collaboration and teamwork. By entering into a design agreement, they ensure a deep understanding of the project's design intent and guarantee the performance of their equipment. This agreement allows Fountain People to work closely with consultants, contractors, and customers, keeping projects on track and addressing potential issues along the way.
- Fully Engineered Equipment Packages:
Fountain People provides fully engineered equipment packages, including schematic design and piping diagrams, electrical design, equipment schedules, cutsheets, and specifications. These comprehensive packages ensure that all aspects of the water feature, from water usage to wire and pipe sizes, are meticulously planned and executed.
- 3D Visualizations:
To help clients visualize the potential of their water feature, Fountain People offers 3D visualizations. These include water feature renderings, fly-through animations, and real-time fountain show programming. These visual aids provide a stronger sense of scale, movement, and functionality, allowing clients to fully grasp the impact of their water feature.
- Design Development:
Fountain People actively supports the design development phase of a project. They assist specifiers in establishing a realistic fountain budget and provide complete sets of design support drawings and written specifications. These drawings cover mechanical and electrical systems, architectural details, and specialized fountain equipment. By working together, Fountain People and the design team create award-winning water features. 5. Pre-visualization - Fountain Renderings: High-resolution renderings play a crucial role in understanding the aesthetic and operating performance of a water feature. Fountain People utilizes specialized software that incorporates the performance of their equipment, providing accurate representations of how the feature will look and function. These renderings help clients envision the end result and make informed decisions.
- The Fun Stuff - Fly-through Animations:
Taking pre-visualization to the next level, fly-through animations provide an immersive design experience. These animations offer a stronger sense of scale, movement, and water feature functionality, especially when water choreography is incorporated. They assist in forming a captivating story around the water feature, enhancing the overall design process.
- Time Savings - Show Programming:
Fountain People offers real-time show programming, producing DMX code that directly correlates with the animation. This reduces the time needed for on-site programming and ensures a seamless integration of water features with lighting, music, and other elements. Show programming services are also available for creating seasonal and holiday shows, attracting patrons and enhancing the overall experience.
- In the Test Pool - Equipment Mock-ups for Testing & Buy-offs:
To ensure that water effects align with the designer's vision, Fountain People conducts equipment mock-ups for testing and buy-offs. These mock-ups provide a preview of the visual elements, sound levels, and splash parameters. By videoing the mock-ups, designers can review and approve the water effects before installation, ensuring the desired intent is achieved.
- Water Feature Development - Manufacturing:
Fountain People's expertise extends to manufacturing, where they transform visions into reality. Their manufacturing process focuses on attention to detail, using high-quality materials to create fully engineered equipment packages. These packages include fountain nozzles, lights, equipment vaults, controls, fittings, and pump and filtration systems tailored to each project's budget and performance needs.
- Water Feature Construction - Installation Support:
While Fountain People primarily focuses on equipment design and manufacturing, they also provide installation support. They can connect clients with a network of preferred fountain contractors for turnkey solutions. By sourcing quality contractors, Fountain People ensures that the water feature is constructed to the highest standards, bringing the design to fruition.
- Maintaining Water Features - Post-Installation Support:
Water features require ongoing maintenance and support. Fountain People's knowledgeable staff of designers, engineers, and technical support professionals are dedicated to providing exceptional customer support. They offer on-site inspections, troubleshooting, and start-up services to help clients keep their water features in optimal operation.
Conclusion: Fountain People's design process encompasses a range of services that ensure the successful creation of captivating water features. From design agreements and fully engineered equipment packages to 3D visualizations, mock-ups, and manufacturing, Fountain People's expertise and attention to detail shine through. By partnering with Fountain People, clients can bring their water feature visions to life, creating awe-inspiring aquatic spectacles that leave a lasting impression.

Chances are that you take pride in the appearance of your home and want to enjoy it as much as you can, even when the sun goes down. So, perhaps you are considering patio lighting. Adding lighting to your home’s patio can enhance safety by brightening walkways. It can also create dramatic looks and effects in your home.
Whatever the reason – amplifying the beauty of your home, creating a secure environment, or simply relaxing and entertaining – proper planning can help you get the most out of your patio lighting.
Use Different Types of Lighting
Consider a couple of different types of lighting to provide ambiance as well as safety. Accent lights are usually space saving and low voltage. They can be mounted on posts, railings, or steps that focus light downward, increasing visibility. Outdoor rated holiday lights or rope lights can be used on your deck year-round to create a relaxing atmosphere. Cast shadows on walls or other flat surfaces by placing lights in front of trees, fixtures, or sculptures. Accent lights placed at the base of a tree or in the ground can create a dramatic highlight.
How to Do It
Begin the planning process by sketching out your patio. Ideally, the best time to install lighting is while you are landscaping, but it can be added at any time. Keeping safety in mind, decide the amount of lighting that you want. At a minimum, you want to light steps and dark areas. Before purchasing lighting, try out some of your ideas at night with a flashlight. You will also see that you have ambient light coming from other sources that you should note. Consider a mix of standard voltage lighting for a brighter, more illuminated area and low voltage lighting for mood and accents. You might even want to try solar.
Don’t overdo it. Less is more. Lighting comes in all shapes and sizes – suspended, mounted on your home, under eaves, on poles, and in the ground. Do some research, and decide what works best for you. With the proper lighting, not only will you be able to maximize the use of your home and patio, you’ll be able to show it off – literally.

PARKLAND, FLA. (WSVN) - Seventeen trees have been planted on the grounds of Marjory Stoneman Douglas in honor of the 17 students and teachers who lost their lives in the Feb. 14 shooting at the school.
Fourteen oak trees and three purple tabebuia trees were planted along the football field of the school, Wednesday morning.
“We wanted to do something outside, so that not only the students and the instructors could see it, but everybody that passes by can honor them,” said landscaper Sandy Benton.
The trees came from the Broward chapter of the Florida Nursery Growers and Landscape Association, and organizers hope the trees will help keep the memory of the victims alive.
“Live oaks are one of Florida’s natives, and they’re a beautiful tree, and they live for years and years — and the word live, we just want people to live in their memory,” Benton said. “And then the purple tabebuias, they’re beautiful flowering trees, and we wanted those to represent the teachers.”
Wednesday also marked the final day of classes for the school.

This tiny treasure was created in response to a client’s desperate plea for help in transforming her dreary courtyard.
Living in a condo, with restrictive HOAs, is challenging enough but in addition, we needed to create a space that her wheelchair-bound companion could not only access, but enjoy.
The result is a serene year-round garden, filled with the sound of water, busy hummingbirds, the scent of flowers and multiple areas to entertain.

Strategic planning at the national, regional, or local levels is an important part of the successful development of any area. Our company has focused on developing green development strategies that emphasize strategic development projects that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, protection and conservation of biodiversity, and development of green infrastructure and landscapes.
Green development strategies ensure systematic and coordinated management of natural resources - forests, soil, water, clean air. With such an approach, we increase the opportunity for the realization of sustainable solutions, and we help the community in its adaptation to modern needs and climate change, as well as in the protection of its cultural and historical values. Our company has recognized the importance of ecologically oriented strategic planning and developed - the Landscaping Strategy of the City of Ludbreg - the first green strategy of its kind in the Republic of Croatia. We develop strategic documents related to the landscape and strategies for the development of green infrastructure for local governments.
The drafting of strategic documents includes:
The importance of environmental protection, sustainable development, and adaptation to climate change are all priority areas for the development of the European Union.
European Green Deal
At the end of 2019, the European Green Deal was presented. It defines Europe's growth strategy for the next ten years and it's aimed at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The Green Deal will mobilize over 100 billion euros for sustainable investment, facilitating the transition to a climate-neutral, green and inclusive economy.
In Croatia, a National Development Strategy is currently being drafted and it will be harmonized with the guidelines of the Green Deal, which is why all local governments should start thinking and planning their development strategies that will be harmonized with relevant EU documents. Turning to sustainable development and adaptation to climate change opens the possibility of using co-financing opportunities from European funds that will be available in the future financial period that are focused on these topics.

The grand opening for the Pueblo Justice Center was last Friday, May 7. It was great to see the finished product of years of hard work. The Justice Center was a fantastic project for a client is second-to-none. The project manager for the City of Pueblo was Steven Meier, who is a landscape architect for the City of Pueblo. The feedback and input that you can get from a client in the same profession is amazing and I believe that it can be seen in the results of the project. Enjoy the photos!

When it comes to Indian sandstone, several varieties stand out for their quality and aesthetic appeal. While the “best” Indian sandstone is subjective and dependent on individual preferences, some of the most sought-after options include Raj Green, Mint Fossil, and Kandla Grey.
Raj Green: Raj Green is a widely favored sandstone variety known for its earthy tones and natural veining. It features a blend of green, brown, and grey shades, which gives it a versatile and timeless appearance. This sandstone is often praised for its ability to seamlessly blend with various outdoor settings, from contemporary to traditional.

This sandstone offers a unique and striking appearance, making it an excellent choice for adding visual interest to any landscaping project. Mint Fossil is often preferred for its distinct color variations and a touch of elegance.

Ancient Usage: Sandstone has been used in construction and architecture for centuries. In India, sandstone has been a prominent choice for crafting intricate temples, palaces, and other historical structures, showcasing its enduring beauty and strength.
Natural Variations: Indian sandstone exhibits fascinating variations in color, veining, and surface texture. Each slab is unique, offering an individualistic charm to any project. This natural diversity ensures that every installation is truly one-of-a-kind.
Weather Resistance: Indian sandstone is known for its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. Its resilience against extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure makes it a reliable choice for outdoor applications, including patios, pathways, and garden features.
Sustainable Material: Sandstone is an eco-friendly choice as it is a natural material that does not require extensive energy consumption during the production process. Its long-lasting nature also reduces the need for frequent replacements, contributing to sustainability efforts.
To conclude, selecting the “best” Indian sandstone ultimately depends on personal preferences and the desired aesthetic for a particular project. While Raj Green, Mint Fossil, and Kandla Grey are popular choices due to their durability, attractive color variations, and versatility, it is essential to consider individual design goals and the ambiance you wish to create in your outdoor space. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry once said, “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” This quote emphasizes the importance of finding the sandstone that perfectly fits your vision while allowing the natural beauty of the material to shine through.

Here is another picture of our backyard in Florida. As you can see, I have a lot of work to do on landscaping. So far, I've been concentrating on flower beds close to the house and the pool because they are easier to water. We have an acre and no irrigation system (yet), so as you can imagine, it is quite a chore to water everything when rain is scarce. The crape myrtle you see just beyond the pool enclosure was planted by the previous owners. It's a little temperamental in the summer, getting some kind of lichen growing on the bark. A couple of years ago, it began to lose its leaves during the middle of summer, and I thought it was a goner. I mixed up a batch of essential oils including lavender, lemongrass, melaleuca, and a blend of oils called Thieves in a spray bottle with water and doused the whole tree. After a few days, whatever fungus was attacking it disappeared, and the tree recovered. Now if I could just find something that would discourage the fire ants which constantly plague us!

In Putin’s Moscow, an Urban Wilderness Emerges
Architects Liz Diller and Charles Renfro talk about their latest high-profile commission, a weather-bending (and politically charged) city park in the heart of the Russian capital.
At their hangar-like office in Manhattan, the architects Liz Diller and Charles Renfro click through a slideshow displaying enormous, fantastically shaped structures embedded into a hilly landscape. The renderings depict 32-acre Zaryadye Park in Moscow, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), the studio they lead with partner Ricardo Scofidio. The celebrated architects enthusiastically describe the various cultural and civic amenities now under construction, which will include a large glass concert hall for the city’s philharmonic, an open-air museum that will feature multimedia displays of Moscow’s history, and a grassy outdoor amphitheater capable of seating 5,000 people.
Zaryadye is the first major new park built in Moscow in the past 50 years; with a price tag reported to land between $390 million and $480 million, it will be one of the most expensive city parks in the world. It’s also a pet project of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin. When his name is mentioned, it’s as though a chilly Moscow breeze blows across the large wood conference table. Asked about rumors that the site is under consideration as a location for Putin to announce his 2018 presidential campaign this coming September, when the park is slated to be finished, Renfro says, «We have heard that.... Yep.»
The future park’s location along the Moskva River, steps from the Kremlin, will make a fitting stage for Putin to unveil his latest ambitions. Indeed, the park has been draped in Putin propaganda since its inception. The site was once home to the vast Rossiya Hotel, a Soviet-era behemoth once billed as the largest hotel in the world. It was demolished in 2006. Press accounts credit Putin with nixing a proposal for an enormous commercial development in the Zaryadye district, which was slated to be designed by the British architect Norman Foster, and instead deciding to build a park during a tour of the site in 2012 with Moscow’s mayor, Sergey Sobyanin.

A garden has the potential of providing you with a calm space, teleporting you from your stressful day to a peaceful moment. The art of landscaping is aimed at realising that potential, transforming any garden, big or small, into a sanctuary. Landscapers will ensure to make the most of the area they have to work with, endeavouring to find solutions to any surface area or incline that may seem difficult to work with. If you are considering hiring a landscaper, here are a few key aspects to their work you may be interested in.
This profession is a wonderful art, which can bring to life the smallest, initially hopeless looking spaces, as well as the largest, abandoned seeming plots. It combines creative thinking with problem solving, seeking to design something that is both beautiful to look at, as well as space maximising. If you are lacking inspiration for your garden or seeking a refreshed look, landscaping is the perfect solution for you.
Landscape design involves the technical, architectural aspects of the job. Here you will get the opportunity to meet with the designer and agree on a suitable layout for your garden. From the overall flow of the space to the flowers you would like to see planted, this step is an exciting way for you to get involved in including your own personal touch to the project. Landscape architects have a lot of knowledge about what can work and what can’t, given the space they have to work with, and will be able to offer you the best advice when it comes to achieving your desired look.
Implementing the plans that have been drawn up involves a dedicated team, led by a landscape gardener. Landscape gardeners do the physical work of planting, fertilising, trimming and paving. Their job also involves technical tasks, like designing water systems, building fences, patios, decks and setting up lighting to give your garden a deserved glow.
Landscape gardeners hold the responsibility of maintaining the overall design, paying your garden regular visits to ensure that pests stay away, that everything remains neat and fresh and that watering or lighting systems are still working.

A number of trees have come down in Winckley Square as the renovation of the grade-II Georgian area of Preston continues.Advertisement
Arboricultural experts have been sawing down the trees, which are all decaying and unhealthy, ahead of the £1.2million revamp.
Ben Williams project manager at Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire and Merseyside said: “We’d like to thank all the Square’s occupants for bearing with us during this period.
“Moving and collecting all the timber from the Gardens has caused some disturbance to the surrounding grassed areas. Over the coming days these areas will all be levelled out and re-seeded so that in a few weeks these areas will be back to normal.”
Around 19 trees have been removed from Winckley Square.

Funding for the revamp is coming the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund.
Work on the Square is due to begin in May and be completed by the end of the year.
