The Town Center Planning Committee (TCPC) was formed by the Board of Selectmen to develop a master plan for the Town Center, taking into account streetscape design, pedestrian safety, traffic, parking, lighting, utility infrastructure, and historic character. Funds to investigate these improvements were appropriated by Special Town Meeting vote in 2015.
Utile, a Boston-based design and architecture firm, and landscape architects Richard Burck Associates were hired in spring 2016 to work with the Committee to create the master plan.
Public input has been an important part of the planning process. More than 300 people responded to an online survey in the spring, weighing in on what they like and dislike about the Town Center today, and what their priorities are for a redesign. One surprising result was that parking is mostly not perceived as a problem, as shown in the charts below (the second chart reflects responses from people who self-identified as business owners or employees in the Town Center).
The most important thing we learned from the survey is that more than anything else, people want more places to gather in the Town Center, whether it's a nice restaurant where they can have a glass of wine with a friend, or an ice cream shop where teens can hang out, or simply more benches to sit on.

The Committee and the design team took the survey feedback to heart, and responded by creating multiple new open spaces that allow for different types of experiences. We brought these ideas to a public charrette on May 25th, when members of the public had an opportunity to learn about the preliminary designs, and draw their own ideas right on the map.
Since the spring, the Utile team has made numerous site visits, presented at five TCPC meetings, and had several additional meetings with stakeholders such as the Weston Department of Public Works and members of the Historical Society. The TCPC and Utile presented to the Board of Selectmen on September 14, followed by a presentation to a joint meeting of the Planning Board and Historical Commission on October 5, and the Finance Committee on October 13. The final step in this phase of the process is Special Town Meeting on November 29th, when residents will vote to fund the final design and engineering for the plan.


As the warm weather begins to cool down, fall is the perfect time to have friends and family over to gather around the fire at night. If you’ll be hosting gatherings in your backyard, having outdoor lighting to fit the mood is essential. Designing the perfect lighting setup can easily be integrated directly into your landscape.
A good lighting design will have all three types of lighting- ambient, task and accent- by layering the different lights. Ambient lighting is used to provide general illumination and sets the ambiance and light level in an area. This type of light looks best in the main seating area will wall sconces, pendants or mounted fixtures. To extend the sense of space in your backyard, consider wrapping lights around a tree or focal point to draw your eye outward immediately.
Task and Accent Lighting
Task and accent light should contribute to ambient lighting, but not overpower it. Task lighting is used in particular areas to that need more light, such as a small light over an outdoor grill. Accent lighting is decorative and helps reinforce the overall mood of a space. The accent light can be an illuminated planter which serves two purposes, as a flower pot by day and a source of light at night.
Sprinkle With Fairy Lights
If you have a smaller or more simple yard, lighting is a great way to transform your space to look bigger and capture everyone’s attention. Fairy lights or string lights hung across a patio will light up your space and easily make it the prettiest spot in the yard. Play around with twinkling lights in your plants and shrubbery as well to create a magical ambiance.
If you’re unsure of how much lighting is needed to fill an outdoor space, try this simple calculation. Measure the square footage of the area you want to light, then multiply that number by 1.5 to get an estimate of how much total wattage you will need.

Steve Martino is arguably one of the most exciting (IMO) landscape designers currently working. Even though he works in a climate that's nearly the polar opposite of mine (Arizona — and I am in New England), he is on my shortlist of colleagues that I study for inspiration and ideas. This project makes me want to pick up and move southwest — to a deserted grocery store.
The client wanted to leave the suburbs for a more urban lifestyle, and when she found this dilapidated grocery store and adjacent bungalow she decided an adaptive re-use of the structures was a great sustainable solution.
She needed studio space, as an interior designer, and Steve Martino helped her create a live-work compound of courtyards that use native plants throughout.
I'm slightly obsessed with the breeze block walls and really want to get comfortable with doing this myself — both for use in retaining walls and for making simple geometric features like reflecting pools. The construction is relatively straightforward and doable for DIY.
The second bit of inspiration I personally take from this garden is the colors, specifically how the art and the finishes and the plants all take cues from each other and work so well together.
What inspires you from this project?

For the second episode of Behind The Design, we’re walking through a unique and interesting garden… You see, our clients wanted a true traditional feel, using modern products! Why would they want this? Traditional materials often require more maintenance than modern alternatives.For example, timber sleepers need to be replaced every 10 years, and sandstone needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent algae build up (depending on the environment). However, alternatives such as porcelain paving offer an easier solution. Virtually impervious to moisture, little to no algae growth and frost resistant are just some of the benefits of this modern paving option. You aren’t limited on choice either, with a wide variety of textures, colours and finishes available from manufacturers. As porcelain paving specialists, we have installed many porcelain driveways and patios over the last 11 years – so this was … Continue reading

Many people we speak to are hesitant to look into their garden or driveway project in the depths of Winter. There is Christmas, New Year and the weather is dark, cold and generally miserable.

Bricklaying patterns, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship, have graced structures throughout history, shaping architectural hardscaping and landscaping with their enduring allure. From the simplicity of running bond to the intricate beauty of herringbone, these patterns are more than design choices; they’re a testament to the artistry and versatility of brickwork.
A Walk Through History
Bricklaying’s journey through time reveals a rich tapestry of patterns. The English bond, with its alternating headers and stretchers, reflects a sense of order, while the Flemish bond adds an element of complexity with headers centered over stretchers. Herringbone, a pattern dating back to ancient Rome, weaves a zigzag narrative that exudes elegance.
Common Bricklaying Patterns
- Running Bond – Headers and stretchers alternate, providing a classic and straightforward look.
- English Bond – Headers and stretchers alternate within each course, creating a grid-like visual appeal.
- Flemish Bond – A visually striking pattern with headers centered over stretchers in alternating rows.
- Herringbone Bond – Bricks laid at an angle create a zigzag effect, adding a touch of sophistication.
- Basketweave Bond – Interlocking bricks in a diagonal pattern, resembling the texture of woven baskets.
Bricklaying patterns extend beyond walls, influencing various architectural elements:
- Pavements and Patios – Transform walkways and outdoor spaces into visually striking focal points.
- Gardens and Landscapes – Define garden beds, create edging for walkways, and add decorative accents.
- Interior Walls and Fireplaces – Bring warmth, texture, and visual interest to indoor spaces.
- Architectural Accents – Highlight architectural details like arches, window surrounds, and columns.
The Craftsmanship Behind Bricklaying
Bricklaying, a cornerstone of masonry, is a craft that transcends functionality; it’s an art form that requires skill, precision, and an understanding of architectural aesthetics.
As a bricklayer meticulously places each brick, it contributes not just to the structural integrity of a building but also to its visual appeal. The tools of the trade, from trowels to levels, become extensions of the artisan’s hands, shaping not just walls but the ambiance of spaces.
A Glimpse into the Trade’s History
The roots of bricklaying trace back to ancient civilizations, with Mesopotamia and Egypt showcasing early examples. In Europe, the Middle Ages witnessed the rise of brick structures, culminating in the majestic cathedrals and castles that stand as tributes to the art of bricklaying.
5 Essential Tools of the Craft
- Trowels – Essential for spreading mortar and laying bricks.
- Levels – Ensure walls are straight and level.
- Lines – Mark the layout of the walls.
- Hammers – Used for chipping and shaping bricks.
- Jointers – Smooth and finish mortar joints.
3 Techniques of Bricklaying
- Running Bond – Alternating rows of headers and stretchers, the most common pattern.
- Stack Bond – Bricks laid in vertical rows, creating a clean and modern look.
- Garden Wall Bond – Alternating headers and stretchers in a series, adding visual interest.
The Artistic Side of Bricklaying
Beyond functionality, bricklaying is an art. Bricklayers can create intricate patterns, play with textures, and introduce unique finishes. The choice of bond patterns, the play with color, and the integration of artistic elements turn bricklaying into a canvas for creativity.
The Significance of Bricklaying
Bricklayers play a vital role in society, constructing homes, schools, hospitals, and other structures essential for daily life. Their work isn’t just about building; it’s about maintaining and preserving the spaces we inhabit.
The Sustainable Future of Bricklaying
In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, bricklaying stands as an environmentally friendly trade. The demand for bricklayers is expected to rise with the growing population, emphasizing the enduring relevance of this craft.
Design Tomorrow: The Evolution of Bricklaying Patterns
Bricklaying patterns are a testament to the evolution of architectural expression, weaving through centuries and civilizations. Today, these patterns are more than just structural arrangements; they are a means of artistic and creative exploration.
When considering hardscaping endeavors, incorporating these patterns infuses not only structural integrity but also an aesthetic dimension that echoes the rich history of masonry. The artistry of hardscaping, intertwined with the elegance of bricklaying patterns, allows for a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary design in outdoor spaces.
Dive into Versatility
The beauty of bricklaying patterns lies in their versatility. They aren’t just about aesthetics; they influence structural strength, functionality, and the overall atmosphere of a space. For instance, the running bond and garden wall bond add strength to walls, while the basketweave pattern introduces visual intrigue and dimension.
Applications Beyond Walls
Bricklaying patterns extend beyond traditional walls, influencing a variety of architectural elements:
- Pavements and Patios – Transforming walkways and outdoor spaces into visually striking focal points.
- Gardens and Landscapes – Defining garden beds, creating edging, and adding decorative accents.
- Interior Walls and Fireplaces – Bringing warmth, texture, and visual interest to interior spaces.
- Architectural Accents – Highlighting details such as arches, window surrounds, and columns.
Considerations for Choosing Bricklaying Patterns
Considerations for selecting bricklaying patterns include the architectural style, desired aesthetic, and functionality of the space. The choice between a traditional running bond for a classic brick house or a herringbone pattern for a modern structure can significantly impact the overall design.
In essence, bricklaying patterns are more than a functional necessity; they are a language of design, a tool for architects and designers to articulate visual stories in brick and mortar. From the simplicity of running bonds to the intricacy of herringbone, each pattern speaks a unique dialect, contributing to the rich tapestry of architectural heritage.
As we embrace the possibilities of the future, bricklaying patterns stand as a timeless bridge between tradition and contemporary expression.

How local building codes may impact where you can locate your fire pit as well as when you can use it and what types of wood you can burn. The cost ranges for various types of fire pits and how to choose the right style for your budget.
For very narrow landscape spaces, a full circle may not be feasible for a fire pit. That’s OK: Like so much else in our homes, fire pits very much adapt to our personalized style as well as our space restrictions. This half-circle fits neatly into a sloping space that’s not deep enough to accommodate any wider diameter.
All permanent fire pits have some sort of fireproof material as a surround; it acts as a barrier to prevent people from getting too close and as a buffer to any loose, hot materials that may escape the structure. If you have the space, a wider than normal decking can be easily integrated into the fire pit’s permanent seating, for a setup that mimics this space. Here, a slightly raised surround elevates the narrow ring of the fire pit and offers casual seating for larger gatherings.
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.

Yuanjiajie Scenic Area
Yuanjiajie Scenic Area is situated in the northwest of the National Forest Park of Zhangjiajie. It got the name after a people whose surname is Yuan in Tang Dynasty, the total area is more than 1,200 hectares, it is reputed as "48KM Yuanjiajie", the core area of Wulingyuan scenic spot of Zhangjiajie and is famous for its magnificence and mystery.
More than 3,500m steep tour path strings the spots as The Back Garden, Enchanting Platform, Five Girls Going for Expedition, No.1 Natural Bridge in the World and etc. thus forms a charming picture scroll with best features of Zhangjiajie.


A primary focus of the Environment Effects Statement (EES) was understanding how the construction of rail trenches at Edithvale and Bonbeach could affect vegetation and how we could manage any potential impacts.
Impact to the wetlands vegetation
The EES found that the vegetation in the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands would not be impacted by the level crossing removals at Edithvale and Bonbeach.
This is because groundwater changes resulting from the project are highly unlikely to occur closer than one kilometre from the Edithvale wetlands.
The vegetation, birds and animals in the wetlands would not be impacted by the project.
Impact to coastal vegetation
There is the possibility of impacting some coastal vegetation due to lowering of the groundwater on the side of the trenches. By implementing mitigation measures, we expect any impacts to be avoided at Bonbeach and Edithvale.
Groundwater is essential for many local ecosystems such as wetlands, rivers and coastal dunes.
Our planning and technical work predicts possible changes in ground water levels around the trenches. This is not uncommon on projects of this nature.
The projects will be undertaken in accordance with a robust Environmental Performance Framework which is included in the EES. The Framework includes Environmental Performance Requirements which provide examples of how mitigations of environmental risks can be implemented, including for any potential coastal vegetation impacts.
Mitigation measures may include monitoring groundwater and vegetation, irrigation, and planting of new drought-tolerant vegetation.
Habitat is the natural home or environment of animals and plants.
A team of technical experts conducted several detailed studies at Edithvale and Bonbeach, to ensure that the construction of the rail trenches would not result in habitat fragmentation, which is the breaking up of large areas of habitat into smaller sections.
Our studies found that the risk of habitat fragmentation is extremely low, in other words, negligible.
Vegetation removal and landscaping
To construct the rail trenches at Edithvale and Bonbeach, it will be necessary to remove some plants and trees along the rail corridor, including native vegetation.
We will remove as few trees as possible.
As part of these projects we will implement a revegetation plan. Native vegetation that is removed in the rail corridor to construct the trenches will be offset – more native vegetation will be planted in the region or existing vegetation will be improved.
Where appropriate, new vegetation will be planted as part of the design. We will continue to consult with the community about re-planting and landscaping before construction begins.
Native vegetation that is removed in the rail corridor to construct the trenches will be offset – more native vegetation will be planted in the region or existing vegetation will be improved.
We will continue to consult with the community about re-planting and landscaping before construction begins.

(Washington, DC) Today the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) launched its first Green Alley Pilot Project, initiating construction in an alley in Northeast Washington. The Green Alley Pilot is aimed at reducing the quantity and improving the quality of stormwater run-off within the District’s right-of-way (ROW). The program is being implemented in partnership with the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
“Our green alley program demonstrates how we are continuously evolving to ensure that our infrastructure and operations remain sustainable, said DDOT Director Terry Bellamy. “The green alley concept has the potential to shape how we design our right-of-way beyond our alleys.”
Although many alleys include a significant amount of impervious surface, most do not have stormwater controls, such as water quality catch basin or grate inlets. To mitigate this, green alleys use sustainable design and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques that reduce the amount of stormwater and pollutants entering the sewer system by increasing water infiltration and treatment on site.
Throughout the United States, Green Alley projects are being used as an effective and innovative way to manage storm water runoff and pollution. In Chicago, for example, more than 80 green alleys have been successfully completed since 2006.
Needless to say, DDOE is pleased with the Green Allley projects,” says Christophe A.G. Tulou, director of the District Department of the Environment. “It is important that we investigate and implement ways in which we can make manage and make good use of storm water so that we can continue to improve our waterways. DDOE will continue to invest and support projects that do that.”
Three initial Green Alley sites are included in DDOT’s pilot program. The sites are located along the Watts Branch Watershed in northeast Washington at the following blocks:
- Alley between 54th Street, Blaine Street, 55th Street, & Clay Street
- Alley between 56th Street, Eads Street and 57th Street
- Alley between 58th Street, Dix Street, 59th Street and Clay Street
DDOT will construct Green Alleys by replacing gravel, impervious concrete or asphalt surfaces with permeable concrete, asphalt or brick paver materials. Permeable pavement has pores or openings that allow water to pass through the surface, then percolate down through a gravel layer and into the soil below rather than running off into sewers.
DDOT estimates it will take approximately two months to complete each alley. Upon completing the work DDOT will monitor these four sites to determine the effectiveness and durability of the materials.


You’ll discover some best practices that you should implement and easy to avoid lighting mistakes that many educational institute and homeowners make. Three important design considerations for outdoor lighting are cohesion, depth, and focal points. To make your lighting design cohesive, you need to illuminate the background, intermediate areas, and borders.
You should avoid large unlit areas around your home, as your eyes naturally overlook the space. Finally, when determining the front of house lighting positions, consider the focal points of your home. Functional elements of your home include seating areas or the entrance to your house.
Uplighting and moonlighting are two ways you can highlight tall landscape features in the front of your home. Uplighting involves installing well or directional lights facing upwards under trees or architectural elements.
Moonlighting provides soft illumination over large parts of your property and minimizes dark patches.
Ideally, the lighting fixtures should be at least 25 feet high and preferably attached to a tree with a canopy. There are various ways to utilize uplighting for this purpose, including silhouetting, shadowing, and grazing. Grazing is especially effective with irregular surfaces such as river stones as it produces interesting shadow patterns.
Our CAST Classic Small China Hat Area Path Light has a dome. Harsh weather conditions can make the exterior coating brittle, while wild animals or pets can chew away at the insulation.
The National Electrical Code recommends encasing wire in a non-metallic conduit made from a material such as PVC and burying it at a depth of 18 inches below the soil surface. The glare will make it difficult for you to see outside, and the backlighting can prevent you from spotting suspicious objects or figures lurking in darker areas.
Instead of pointing light sources directly at doors or windows, we suggest positioning them at an angle. When designing your lighting plan, make sure to consider concepts like focal points, cohesion, and depth.


All gardens start off as an idea and that idea is eventually translated into reality. We at Herons can help you realise your dream by providing the expertise and advice needed to achieve that goal. Not only will we come up with elegant design solutions, but we will give you sound practical advice on how to see the project through. Much of this comes from years of experience in building Japanese gardens in the UK and abroad.
How we do it...
We begin by visiting your garden to survey the site and discuss ideas that you wish to incorporate into your garden. It is only through this interactive dialogue that we can get to know your needs and tastes. We invariably discuss the various design options and ideas with you before finalising the design that best fits your needs. We have found that it is only through this consultative process that a unique and personal garden can evolve.
We charge for the design service, but it is money well spent.
Some of our clients go on to create their own gardens using our design, which they find very satisfying. Others prefer to commission us to carry out the work. We are happy to work with you either way. Our ultimate aim of course is that you end up with a beautiful and scenic extension of your home or office which will be your own personal Japanese garden.

Hosta Kabuki forms a small to medium loose moundof 10" to 12" in height with a spread of about 18" at maturity. The colour of the leaves are blue green but there is very little blue mixed in with cream details. The cream color of the leaves is streaked randomly throughout each leaf and each one is unique. The leaves are very lightly corrugated and slightly cupped making the leaves of this plant appear to have little to no detail other than the colour variegation. In summer leaves are green with a bright white margin. The lavender flowers bloom on scapes of up to 24" tall, in July and are tubular. This plant is not sun or slug resistant and should be planted in the shade.

An above-ground pit becomes a focal point of your outdoor living design. Be sure and place it where it balances with other large design elements. A gas fire pit can be placed just about anywhere, but a wood-burning pit will need to be at least 10 feet away from any structure. Before putting in a permanent fire pit, check for wind patterns that may cause potential smoke issues. Also, remember to leave ample room for seating around the pit.
Although fire pits are a common appearance in more traditionally influenced landscapes, with the right detailing they can fit perfectly in modern-leaning yards. That’s why the choice of material is particularly important if you’re adding a fire pit after the backyard gathering area has already been assembled. Here, an atypical fire pit design -- a sloped-in base -- as well as the neutral color and wide top shelf help give this portable fire pit a clean-line aesthetic.
There are many options when it comes to the size, shape and style of a fire pit. You can have a built-in fire pit installed, or you can purchase a portable one that can be moved about your yard. If opting for a built-in fire pit, you will be able to choose from a variety of outdoor finishing materials including concrete, stone and brick. And remember, fire pits do not have to be round-they can be square, L-shaped, triangular, or an entirely custom shape.
Pre-made fire pits are the most common form of fire pits and can be purchased from a store. These are commonly made of pre cast concrete or metal and/or a combination of metal table and stone. They are usually natural gas, propane ( LP ) or bio ethanol. Wood burning fire pits made of metal are also quite common but under increasing scrutiny due to fire bans and air particulate emissions. Natural gas and propane burners in these sort of pre fabricated vessels are certified under ANSI ( American ),CSA ( Canadian ) and CE ( European ) standards. Unregulated and uncertified fire pit burners are increasingly being scrutinized by regulatory authorities and being denied permits. Fire pits have recommended clearance to combustibles and require at least 5 feet above the flame and 16" circumference from the exterior perimeter of the vessel.

World Construction Today – The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced that construction has begun on the US$12.5 million Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project.
MD & CEO of DEWA, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, launched the initiative, which will be a component of the organization’s social and investment obligation to create Hatta as a unique tourist destination, according to a statement from DEWA.
Based on the statement, the Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project is an inventive architectural concept that was motivated by the hexagonal honeycomb design because Hatta is well-known as a centre for premium honey.
Bridges across the water canal connect the project’s oasis, creating a busy and gorgeous area where people can hang out and snap lovely pictures.
As per Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, DEWA is implementing ground-breaking initiatives in Hatta in line with the vision and directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, for comprehensive and sustainable development throughout Dubai, and to reshape Hatta into a tourism and investment hub, while preserving its heritage, Al Tayer said.
With these initiatives, they hope to improve Hatta, offer the locals cutting-edge employment options, and foster a happy community. In addition to improving the area and transforming it into recreational areas and a tourist destination in the UAE, the Hatta Sustainable Waterfalls project seeks to preserve the surrounding natural ecosystem. Making a natural water stream that blended in with Hatta’s surroundings was the initial concept.
Four oasis with coffee shops, restaurants, playgrounds for kids, as well as stores offering natural honey, regional goods, and souvenirs, offer a wealth of investment prospects. The shops will be handed over to the people of Hatta as grants from HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to address the requirements of social, economic, and environmental development and to create more work possibilities.
A natural waterfall will be produced by the project using the ramp of the upper dam of the Hatta plant. The water utilised in the waterfall will be gathered at the end of the stream, reused, and piped back to the top of the dam through a channel that will be constructed below the dam. Restaurants and leisure areas will be built in the vicinity.
In order to safeguard the Hatta Mountain Reserve and harmonise the project with its surroundings, they are keen to use the newest, most cutting-edge, and safest technologies to match the geological conditions of the Hatta region. They will also take into account the strictest international environmental standards.
The project will provide tourists with a distinctive experience and highlight the grandeur of the hilly regions of the UAE. DEWA is keen to employ environmentally friendly materials that blend in with the surroundings at every stage of the project. The water channel empties into a lake, which supports a healthy natural aquatic life and creates a diverse biological habitat.

1. The use of smaller cobbles or carpet stones give the effect of space and also a lot of versatility for use of the imagination.
2. Rather than having lots of small cuts of paving to go around the edge and border, why not use pebbles and decorative chippings. Small plants can be added as a feature.
3.Planked or linear paving gives the impression of depth and helps a smaller garden appear larger than it is. Basically an optical illusion.
4.Why not just use a paving circle as a complete feature. Just go straight for the wow factor so you dont even notice the size of the garden.
5. Add decorative items such as rockery stones or cobbles to edge the garden paving as a border feature.
6. Use a eye catching feature like a millstone or different sized planters to add vibrancy and appeal.

The city of Boise is inviting park users, neighbors and the general public to a public meeting Feb. 26 to learn more about plans to expand Boise River Park’s size and features.
The meeting starts at 6 p.m. at the Associated General Contractors Building, 1649 W. Shoreline Drive, with a presentation by the design team for McMillen, S2o Design, and DHM Design, which the city hired to put together a plan for the river park’s second phase.
The design team is developing a concept plan for in-river construction and replacement of the Farmers Union Canal diversion downriver from the existing River Park improvements to the 36th St. pedestrian bridge. The design team will present the Phase II preliminary concept plan for review and comment. The city is paying $250,000 for the design.
A concept plan is expected to be completed by April.
Design and Construction of phase II is dependent on private fundraising led by volunteers with the Friends of Parks. To make an online contribution to the Boise River Park, please see www.boiseriverpark.com or contact Beth Markley at email@example.com.
Development of the Boise River Park is tied closely to planning and permitting for the adjacent Esther Simplot Park. Construction is expected to begin in winter 2014. Funding for Esther Simplot Park is provided by the Simplot family foundation.
The Boise River Park opened June 28, 2012. The park, located off Pleasanton Avenue and Whitewater Park Boulevard west of downtown, was funded by the City of Boise, the J.A. & Kathryn Albertson Foundation and private donations. The $3.6 million facility features state-of-the-art waveshapers and pneumatically-operated air bladders that inflate to elevate stainless steel flashboards.
For information about the phase II concept plan, visit www.parks.cityofboise.org or call City Engineer John Tensen at (208) 384-3900 or Tom Governale, Superintendent of Parks, at (208) 608-7624.

Beneits of Bonsai trees.
We need our homes to look tidy and be in a position to look appealing to others. We therefore try and come up with the ideas that we can use to make this possible. Planting of flowers around our homes is always one of the greatest ideas that we get. We are therefore faced with a responsibility of having to look for the right kind of flowers around our places. We can be able to get the right kind of flowers by getting those flowers that please our eyes. We can also decide to paint our homes with pictures that will to some extent give the place a natural look. The idea behind all this is to have the best natural homes around us.
Bonsai trees are some of the well-known trees for their sizes. Most of the people keep these trees in the homes since they are in size and fit so well in the house. The bonsai trees are mostly given as gift to the people like the relatives. The the bonsai tree is a well-known example of a little tree.
Having tiny trees around us can be the ways in which we can have a beautiful look around us. The trees can be varying in size, that is, the small and the big trees. Some people like the greenery view around them. This is because of the different reasons that they may have regarding to this. There Some reasons that can make one decide to have small trees around his place. This always makes us have the go-ahead that will contribute for our homes to be beautiful.

One of the merits of the tint trees is that they make our homesteads look nice all the time. This makes us have a lot of courage even when we welcome our friends and relatives at our homes and they want to walk around.

Does Germany's Leonardo Glass Cube represent cutting-edge architecture or evidence of strange alien organisms slowly taking over the landscapes of the world? We know it's the former... but can't help wondering about the latter, too.
The building, built in 2007, was designed by interdisciplinary design group 3deluxe as a showpiece for the German glassware company Glaskoch, and their Leonardo line of products. Combining architecture, interior design and landscape design, the space is a functional, modern example of Glaskoch's craftsmanship, modern design... and maybe just a little bit creepy-alien, too.

⚠Laying Recommendations: When grouting slabs, we highly recommend avoiding using grouts with significantly contrasting colors. This is because the hardener in the grout resin can create marks on textured slabs that may prove challenging or even impossible to remove. In the event that grout comes into contact with the slab surface, please clean it immediately to minimize the risk of the hardener with significant color contrast adhering and causing temporary staining.

Since they are very popular, they are fairly easy to find online and in many garden stores. Most people decide to buy a gazebo because they find themselves needing an extra shaded area to enjoy.
Uses of an Outdoor Gazebos
Gazebos are great to have when it comes to planning outdoor activities and parties, especially when spring comes and everyone begins to think of the outdoor activities. Other than the factor of shade, an outdoor gazebo is great to have for any type of special occasion that should come up.
Canopies and gazebos continue to provide shelter and protection for family reunions, neighborhood parties, and other outdoor entertaining events.

Accessorizing Your Outdoor Canopy Gazebo
Try to make your gazebo where it is comfortable and will look very appealing from a distance. You can do this by simply adding a few little touches to your gazebo that will add color and style to your design.

This Plant's Growing Zones: 7-10


My August Plant pick is our Hydrangea anomala Petiolaris other wise known as a climbing hydrangea. It's perfect for Zones 5-7. These Vines feature large, fragrant white flowers that bloom in the late spring and summer. We sell these staked in #1's and #5's, as standards (tree form) in #5's and as espaliers in #5's.
One of my all time favorite evergreens to use as a focal point in the landscape is Chamaecyparis 'Well's Special'. The emerald green foliage is a very pretty soft breezy type of appearance. This particular variety will grow to be about 15 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 7 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. We sell this plant in 1 gal as well as 5 gal container sizes. You will not be disappointed in this plant.
My plant pick of the month is the Taxus m. Hicksii. These are an excellent hedge if you're looking for something with a little more texture and perhaps a little less contrived than a standard arborvitae. With deep green foliage and red berries, these plants are characterized by their upright growth habit often reaching over 12' tall at maturity. They can get quite thick although my personal preference is to see them sheered into columns. We are currently offering them in a #05 size for $10.75.

The free-form, 7-foot-deep pool, built by New Braunfels-based Varsity Pools, has handsome, Oklahoma flagstone coping, concrete flooring treated to stay cooler in summer and a raised hot tub from which water overspills into the main pool.
“I’ve always wanted a pool,” said Diane, a retired educator. “I love the water, the sound of the waterfall and the clear blue color. I worked my way through college managing the city pool near Pearland.”
