The Town of Christiansburg removed 18 Black Locust trees from Downtown Park, and had citizens and staff replace them with a variety of different trees on Saturday.
The invasive species are known for unexpectedly dropping limbs which had become a problem according to a news release from the town.
“Several large branches have fallen in recent weeks, creating a safety hazard in the park, especially because of the height from which the limbs fall. Many of the Black Locust trees are also suffering from a fungal infection, weakening the limbs and increasing the likelihood of broken branches,” according to the release.
Town Spokesperson Melissa Powell said that more than 30 residents came out to help in the replanting process Saturday morning.
Replacing the Black Locust trees were a variety of trees including: 21 Arborvitaes, four Black Gums, seven Dawn Redwoods, three Saucer Magnolias and three Star Magnolias. Powell said that town Horticulturist Micheal Huesman selected the species.
“He wanted trees that people may not experience on a daily basis and that could provide some color in the park. The magnolias produce spring blossoms, and the redwood and blackgum have beautiful fall leaves,” Powell said. “Plus, he selected slightly matured trees to provide some height and canopy at the time of planting. The trees will continue to grow and branch out as they mature.
Powell said that Valley Tree Service completed the tree removal and stump grinding, which cost $6,250, and the replacement trees cost $713.75.
Downtown Park is located at 15 College St. To learn more about the different types of trees planted, visit www.mortonarb.org.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article was updated at 10 a.m. Oct. 22 to reflect that two letters of interest for the city attorney position were included in a revised Bartlesville City Council packet. The letters were from Jess Kane and Johnny Akers.
Bartlesville City Councilors will meet behind closed doors to discuss hiring a new city attorney during a portion of Monday night's City Council meeting.
The special meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of Bartlesville City Hall, 401 S. Johnstone Ave. The meeting is open to the public, except for the executive session to discuss the city attorney position.
According to an agenda, the executive session is expected to be called towards the end of the meeting. The City Council was accepting applications through Friday for the soon-to-be open position. Long-time City Attorney Jerry Maddux announced that he will retire Jan. 1, 2019 after 43 years.
In the City Council packet for Monday's meeting, two cover letters from attorneys Jess M. Kane and Johnny Akers are included, indicating interest in the city attorney position.
While the agenda for Monday's meeting does not name Kane or Akers specifically in the executive session, no additional letters from other candidates are included in the City Council packet.
City Councilors are expected to make a decision on Maddux's replacement during the Nov. 5 City Council meeting.
In other business, the City Council will hear an update from Ward 3 City Councilor Jim Curd and Ward 4 City Councilor Alan Gentges regarding progress of the design plans for the community green space between Price Tower and the Bartlesville Community Center. Curd and Gentges co-chair the Tower Green Design Committee.
Bartlesville voters approved $1.75 million in funding for the green during a general obligation bond election in March. Since then, the design committee has held several meetings to gain feedback from the community on what features should be included in the space.
In mid-September, students from the Taliesin School of Architecture visited Bartlesville to come up with conceptual designs of the green space. Taliesin was founded by Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect behind the historic Price Tower. William Wesley Peters from Taliesin designed the Bartlesville Community Center.
On Oct. 17, the Tower Green Design Committee met to discuss some of the final design elements for the project. The proposal calls for the west side of the green, where Dewey Avenue and Silas Street now intersect, to be transformed into a natural park-like setting. In the center of the green, a performance stage is proposed on the north side and an interactive water feature is proposed for the south side.
During a meeting Thursday, the city of Bartlesville's Park Board voted to recommend to the City Council that $355,000 in bond funding from the March election be reallocated to the interactive water feature. The original intent of the bond funding was to build a splash pad outside of the new Johnstone Park Pavilion. Since the splash pad was a discretionary project in the bond election, the funding can be moved to the green's interactive water project.
In the green design proposal, the iconic fountain outside of the Bartlesville Community Center would be integrated into the new green space and the north entrance/exit to the Community Center's parking lot would be closed to vehicle traffic — allowing for pedestrians to walk safely and it also joins the Community Center building into the green.
The Tower Green Design Committee is scheduled to meet again at noon on Wednesday to come up with a final recommendation for the City Council's Nov. 5 meeting. The design committee's meeting is open to the public at Bartlesville City Hall.


(Sketch from West Seattleites’ 2008 presentation to the City Council about a “boulevard” vision for Fauntleroy Way)
All week long, the City Council has been listening to presentations about possible changes to the Mayor’s budget plan. Just because a change is presented, doesn’t mean it’ll make it into the final plan, but with that in mind: One of the proposals that will be heard this afternoon would allot a quarter-million dollars to start working toward what’s dubbed the “Fauntleroy Way Green Boulevard.” This is a concept that has been under discussion for more than three years, including as a component of the West Seattle Triangle vision. Just last night, in fact, members of the Southwest District Council brought it up briefly while reviewing what’s transpired with the Triangle. It’ll be one of many budget-change options presented during this afternoon’s City Council session. Here’s part of the description, from the “Green Sheet” for the proposal (which you can see in its entirety here):
This project will transform Fauntleroy Way SW into a green boulevard. Preliminary engineering will address project elements identified during conceptual design, including: a planted median with signature lighting fixtures, a pedestrian zone with sidewalks and planting areas including street trees, pedestrian lighting, potential green stormwater infrastructure and art, and safety improvements for crossing movements for all modes, including bicycle improvements and pedestrian crossings, signals, and reconfigured intersections and bulbs. Funding will be used to complete preliminary engineering in 2012, including public outreach, preliminary design, and construction cost estimates. Alternative project designs will be developed (with and without the relocation of a 28? drainage and wastewater main) that seek to balance green boulevard design elements with Major Truck Street treatments.
The proposal is officially from Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, who chairs the Transportation Committee and has long been involved in discussions about improving the Fauntleroy Way “gateway” to West Seattle. His office says the goal of this item is to get the project on the city’s Capital Improvement List and start studying what it would take to make it happen. This presentation is part of the council’s afternoon agenda (full list here), scheduled to start at 2 pm; you can watch live on Channel 21 or seattlechannel.org (or of course by going to City Hall downtown). Budget-change decisions are scheduled to start next week, with a plan finalized before Thanksgiving.

The Council and the community have established four objectives for the Harrow Road Place Plan: create a 21st century high street; improve access to public open space; ensure a socially sustainable future; benefit from future development. The concept masterplan and the delivery of the three key public spaces, aim to catalyse wider regeneration and investment to meet these objectives.

We know that proper soil preparation is key to a successful garden, and one of the most vital steps in preparing your soil is adding topsoil.
But how much does a yard of topsoil weigh? And how do you know how much you need? Keep reading to find out!
What Is Topsoil?
Most people have a general idea of what soil is, but there tends to be a bit less understanding when it comes to topsoil.
Simply put, topsoil is the top layer of the earth’s surface and is composed of clay, silt, sand, and organic materials. It also includes minerals such as magnesium, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
This rich mixture of materials is essential for plant growth. It provides nutrients and regulates oxygen levels, as well as playing an essential role in preventing erosion because it helps to anchor roots and deflect wind and water.
Topsoil also has good drainage and aeration properties, making it ideal for use in gardens and lawns.
It’s no wonder that topsoil is often referred to as the “gold standard” for gardening. While it can be tricky to find high-quality topsoil, it is definitely worth the effort. After all, healthy plants start with healthy soil.
40-pound bags of topsoil are the most common size of topsoil sold in stores. This is because they are a manageable size for most people to carry, and they are large enough to cover a decent-sized area.
One 40-pound bag will cover approximately 10 square feet with a layer of topsoil that is 3 inches deep. Topsoil is essential for Gardens because it helps with drainage, provides essential nutrients, and aids in weed prevention.
For these reasons, it is crucial to choose the right type and size of topsoil for your needs. A 40-pound bag of topsoil should be sufficient for most gardening projects.
How Much Does A Yard Of Topsoil Weigh?
It’s essential to be knowledgeable about much topsoil you need when you’re planning a gardening or landscaping project. So, how much does a yard of soil weigh? The weight of a cubic yard of topsoil is typically between 1,500 and 3000 lbs.
However, the weight can vary depending on the type of topsoil and the moisture, debris, and rocks it may contain. If you’re buying topsoil by truckload, keep in mind that a cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.
With that said, a yard of topsoil is a lot of soil. It will cover approximately 100 square feet with a depth of 3 inches.
Topsoil is relatively inexpensive, and it’s easy to find at garden centers and nurseries. Here are a few things to take into consideration when it comes to the weight of topsoil.
1. The moisture levels
Many people are surprised to learn that moisture content can have a big impact on the overall weight of topsoil. When the soil is wet, it can actually be up to twice as heavy as dry topsoil.
A cubic yard of wet topsoil can weigh around 3000 lbs, whereas a cubic yard of dry topsoil will weigh around 1500 to 2000 lbs. So, if you’re trying to measure the weight of topsoil, it’s important to do it on a dry day.
This is because water molecules bind to soil particles, making them larger and heavier. Wet topsoil is also more difficult to shovel and maneuver, which can make gardening and landscaping tasks more challenging.
In addition, wet topsoil is more likely to compact, which can damage plant roots and make it difficult for new seedlings to take hold. For these reasons, it’s important to be aware of how moisture can affect the weight of topsoil.
Too much moisture can create problems, but so can too little. By monitoring the moisture levels in your soil, you can help ensure that your plants stay healthy and your garden stays beautiful.
The components and composition of the topsoil you have can affect how much it weighs. For example, sandy soil weighs more than clay soil because it has more sand particles.
The amount of organic matter in the soil can also affect weight. Soil with a higher organic matter content will weigh more than soil with a lower organic matter content.
The amount of compaction in the soil can also affect weight. Soils that are more compacted will weigh more than soils that are less compacted. It is important to take them into account when determining how much topsoil to use for your project.
3. Blended or straight
Most people think of topsoil as being a heavy, dense material. However, when it’s blended with wood chips, the topsoil actually becomes lighter in weight.
This is due to the fact that wood chips take up more space than topsoil particles. As a result, there is less actual topsoil per cubic foot of blended soil, so you may need to buy more than you would straight topsoil to get the same coverage.
Calculating How Much Topsoil You’ll Need
If you’re looking to add topsoil to your garden beds or raised garden, knowing how much you’ll need is essential.
To determine the number of cubic yards of topsoil you need, you’ll need to know the depth, width, and length of the area you’re planning to cover.
When you have the measurements of your area, just multiply them together. One example, if you’re looking to add topsoil to an area that is 10′ long, 10′ wide, and 3″ deep, you would need 300 cubic feet of topsoil.
To calculate how many yards of topsoil this is, simply divide by 27 (the number of cubic feet in a yard). In this case, you would need 11 yards of topsoil.
Knowing how much topsoil you need will help ensure that your garden beds are properly filled and ready for planting. If you are still not sure how much topsoil you need, it is best to err on the side of caution and order more.
Can you use an online topsoil calculator?
Yes! Using an online topsoil calculator is a handy way to measure your topsoil. These online calculators will ask you for information about your gardens, such as the type of plants you’re growing and the size of your garden bed.
Based on this information, they’ll recommend a type of topsoil that will be best for your needs. Another option is to talk to a local gardening expert who can help you choose the suitable topsoil for your garden.
Whichever method you choose, make sure you take the time to select the right topsoil for your plants – it can make all the difference in their health and growth!
Transporting Your Topsoil
If you’re planning on transporting cubic yards of topsoil, there are a few things you should know. First of all, it will take up a lot of space, so you’ll need to choose a vehicle that can accommodate it.
A small dump truck or a full-size pickup truck should do the trick. Also, remember that topsoil is very heavy. This means that you’ll need to take care when loading and unloading it, as well as when driving. Make sure to take breaks often and drive slowly to avoid accidents.
And finally, be aware that transporting large quantities of topsoil can be messy. Cover your truck bed with a tarp to prevent the soil from spilling out and making a mess. With these tips in mind, transporting cubic yards of topsoil should be a breeze!
How can I transport my topsoil around the garden or project area?
You can use a wheelbarrow to transport topsoil once you have it at its location. This is a common method for moving soil around the garden, and it’s relatively easy to do.
Just scoop the topsoil into the wheelbarrow and then wheel it to where it needs to be. Be careful not to spill any soil while you’re transporting it, as this can make a mess.
When you’re finished, simply dump the topsoil out of the wheelbarrow and into the desired location. Repeat as needed until all of the topsoils has been moved.
So there you have it, the average weight of a yard of topsoil is between 1500 and 3000 pounds. However, remember the weight changes based on the ingredients in your topsoil and how densely packed it is.

It’s amazing how people can make use of the space they’re given. In the heart of a city, you can find an urban oasis in someone’s tiny backyard, while a sprawling property in the suburbs could be totally unappealing.

Summary: Landscaping can revolutionize the look of your outdoor garden. This guide introduces the basics of landscaping and will also give you an idea of where you should start.
There are more ways to use flowers than in a garden. With thousands of different types of floral arrangements, you can turn your outdoor garden into a colorful spectacle.
The idea of landscaping can sound rather imposing. One could spend years upon years trying to study all types of ideas in this field. With so many different routes to take, it’s quite difficult to pinpoint one type of design that you’ll want to stick to.
The Basics of Landscaping
Whenever you put something together, you engage in the world of designing. Sometimes people take their designing skills for granted because what they create lacks the challenge and creativity that most people that do not possess the design skills can do. Those that want to get into landscaping must first learn the basic elements of design that underlie the discipline of landscaping. These basic elements can serve as a foundation for implementing the more advanced techniques and principles for designing a garden.
Understanding the “Feel” of Landscaping
Plants and flowers should be arranged according to three principles of garden designed. One of the first elements if proportion which refers to the size of each individual component, or group of components, in a landscape. A garden that is out of proportion often refers to abrupt transitions and awkward placements. For example, a garden that incorporates a tall wooden wall might offset the size of the house, therefore making the home appear smaller than it actually is. Balancing the idea of proportion can lead to creative and well-rounded ideas.
Balance often goes hand-in-hand with the understanding of focalization. Focalization refers to a focal point that the viewer is often forced to look at. While this can be achieved through a variety of different techniques, intense focalization can be created through an arrangement of different elements or arrangements.
The Bottom Line
Landscaping is an art form that takes practice, knowledge, and awareness. These elements all coincide with one another and can turn a dull, boring garden into a bright and warm masterpiece. Utilizing the basics of these elements, you as a homeowner, should first take a look at what you want to implement, how you’re going to accomplish this task, and what techniques are available to get this project done. Preparation remains the key to success.

It is firstly of utter importance to acknowledge the fact that mounding is the method that includes a layer that is useful when it comes to retaining moisture around the base of the plant just so as to stimulate the growth of the new roots. It is important to take note of the fact that aside from stimulating the growth of the new roots, mounting also helps to protect the new roots that grow and develop later on. Another thing that you ought to know about mounding is the fact that it helps to create a very large root zone which is usually very vital to most plants.
The good thing about mounding is the fact that it brings about tolerance in times of drought. Always remember that mounding is that successful and great gardening tip that has always existed from a very long time. The technique is mostly practiced in the cool and wet areas but it is beneficial in almost all the areas you know off. The following article seeks to educate people on the benefits that come with mounding. Check out also the ducks unlimited Calgary.
The very first advantage is the fact that it enables the alleviated soil to warm up quicker than the surrounding garden soil. The alleviated soil will be more than able to access the sun rays and the air and that is why it will get warmer than the surrounding garden soil. When the alleviated soil is warmer and has access to the sun rays and the air, you will be able to commence your planting season way early. It could be better if every other farmer out there would consider mounding so that they could prepare their gardens early enough.
Aside from ensuring that the alleviated soil is warmer than the surrounding soil, mounding also ensures that the excess moisture gets to drain away from the seeds and the plants. In this way, the seeds will be protected whenever the heavy rains get to fall and damage the plant.
The third merit that comes with the mounding gardening technique is the fact that it makes soil less compacted. When you use mounding as a technique in your garden, you will notice that the plants will be able to access the air pockets and nutrients since the soil will be less compacted. The other good thing about that less compacted soil is the fact that it will see to it that the root of the plant gets to develop to be healthier and even larger. When it comes to the dry areas, you should know that mounding is not necessary because the much desired water would wander off. If you want mounding to help you in the dry areas, you should make sure that you are always watering the plant. If you are a farmer who wants better results upon their farms, you should ensure that you mound your plants. Learn more here in securing nursery stock Calgary.

Founded in 1573, Córdoba stands as one of Argentina’s oldest cities, boasting a mix of colonial architecture and modern sophistication. The city’s historical significance is evident in its well-preserved Jesuit Block, a UNESCO World Heritage site comprising churches, a university, and residences that showcase the region’s colonial heritage.
As you venture beyond the historical sites, Córdoba’s natural beauty unfolds. The province of the same name boasts diverse landscapes, from rolling hills and fertile valleys to picturesque lakes and cascading waterfalls. Nature lovers can explore the Sierras de Córdoba mountain range, offering opportunities for hiking and horseback riding.
A visit to Cordoba is incomplete without a stay at a historic estancia. These opulent countryside estates were once the retreats of wealthy landowners. Today, estancias invite visitors to indulge in rustic luxury while enveloped by the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.


DPJ is launching a new placemaking editorial series in partnership with the Phoenix Metro Chapter of the AIA (American Institute of Architects). Together we will explore places in our city, look closer at what makes them special, and perhaps challenge those who want to contribute to our built environment to approach downtown development in a more thoughtful way.
The presence of water in the desert has great significance because of its scarcity and its life-giving qualities. Water is the lifeblood that has allowed Phoenix to grow and flourish over the past 150 years. The canal system fed by the Salt River and Colorado River currently sustains over 4 million people in our metropolitan area. And yet our urban form is largely disconnected from the river corridor and canals that have given life to our desert city.
The dry Salt River bed became an industrial wasteland through much of the twentieth century, and the canal system was treated as a utilitarian alleyway that we turned our back on. Both became “leftover” spaces and a no-man’s land that divided neighborhoods. Over the past decade, we are in the midst of rethinking how we connect to these waterways through several strategic plans.
The upcoming $5 million redevelopment of the Grand Canal in Uptown represents a significant opportunity to change how we treat the canal system in Phoenix and to attract waterfront development. Flowing water can become the urban connector that rebuilds linkages to surrounding neighborhoods and spurs significant infill development at key nodes.
Additionally, Phoenix’s Rio Salado habitat restoration presents a tremendous opportunity to transform our city and heal the scar that the dry riverbed had become. The $100 million habitat restoration along a 5 mile stretch of the Salt River created a 600 acres of Sonoran riparian habitat with multi-use trails and wildlife viewing areas. The Rio Salado Audubon Center provides an anchor and a gateway to the Rio Salado.
Now, the critical next step in the urban transformation of the Rio Salado will be the creation of thoughtful new community oriented development along the banks of the river. The Del Rio Area Brownfield Plan and the SoPho Between the 7’s Plan both create guidelines to help shape redevelopment. Future development in this area should be bold in the effort to create community centric urban plans that build on the rich cultural heritage of South Phoenix and strengthen connections to Downtown.
Ultimately, one of the measures of Phoenix reaching its true potential as a “great desert city” will be the way we recognize and reconnect to the waterways that have been our lifeblood. We have made significant strides over the past decade to start this transformation. Now, we must foster thoughtful community oriented infill development to stitch our community together and to cultivate our vibrant urban city.

The exact nature of the impermeable ground layer of the lake is still unknown.
Usable in shallow impermeable grounds,and ropy ground i.e., near the plant roots.
A hydrostatic seal is created when the ice is so much higher around the lake that the equipotential surface dips down into impermeable ground.
Soil permeability (infiltration difficulty) and underlying rock type affect the runoff in a watershed; impermeable ground or exposed bedrock will lead to an increase in surface water runoff and therefore to more frequent streams.
SURFACE CAPPING (Encapsulation) Utilizes an impermeable ground cover to isolate the contaminants from the surface and redirect surface water percolation away from the contaminated soil.
The plains of Lombardy, formed by alluvial deposits, can be divided into the Alta - an upper, permeable ground zone in the north and a lower zone - the Bassa - dotted by the so-called line of fontanili, spring waters rising from impermeable ground.
Rather, it is sufficient to define future land use in broad-brush terms since the critical parameter is the proportion of impervious ground cover.
“It may seem like a bit of an oxymoron that garages could be green,” he said, “but decreasing the amount of impervious ground cover can be very beneficial in cities where runoff is the No. 1 pollutant.”


The exquisite art of aquascaping is essentially the underwater equivalent of flora-based landscaping. This practice gives hobbyists the opportunity to conceive their own alluring aquatic world. The key to achieving the perfect aquascape lies in a balanced, sustainable ecosystem housed within a visually pleasing environment. Aquascaping has evolved into a growing passion that encourages both creativity and eco-awareness. Let’s dive into our comprehensive guide on simple aquascape design.
The Concept of Aquascaping
Aquascaping is akin to painting a beautiful portrait, using live aquatic plants, rocks, wood, and a variety of substrate materials as the medium. The resulting natural simplicity brings forth harmonious tranquility, which is a unique charm of aquascaping. The dimensions of this art form extend to both aesthetic and scientific realms introducing interaction between living organisms and their ambiance.
Components of a Simple Aquascape Design
A. The Layout Material
Fundamental to aquascaping are the materials that construct its bare bones. Fish, plants, rocks, and driftwood all contribute to the aquascape environment. Their selection, placement, and arrangement significantly impact the overall design.
B. The Substrate
The substrate forms the bedrock of the aquascape, providing a base for plants and adding aesthetic value. Among options are soil, sand, and gravels, each having distinct textures, colors, and sizes.
C. The Lighting System
The right lighting accentuates the beauty and health of an aquarium. Fluorescent, metal halide or LED lights can be used for distinct effects. However, LEDs have gained popularity due to energy efficiency and longevity.
Elements of a Pleasing, Simple Aquascape Design
Great aquascaping is all about balance and simplicity. An awkward jumble of elements will detract from the overall visual appeal, while a coherent, minimalist approach will enliven the senses.
A. Plant Species Selection
Different types of plants contribute to the aquatic beauty in terms of shape, size, color, and leaf texture. Certain species, such as mosses and ferns, are recommended for beginners due to their low maintenance nature.
B. Hardscape Material Placement
The hardscape materials – rocks and wood – form the backdrop of the aquascaping. Symmetry is often avoided as an asymmetrical arrangement often looks more natural and visually appealing.
C. Color and Texture Coordination
A variety of textures and colors add intricacy to the aquatic landscape. Continuity in color and texture across the aquascape enhances the visual harmony and natural feel.
Steps to Creating Your First Simple Aquascape
A. Planning Your Aquascape
Utilize sketches and software tools to visualize your design. A well-thought-out plan minimizes errors during the implementation phase.
B. Preparing Your Aquarium
Ensure that your tank is clean and positioned correctly. The placement should account for light requirements and ease of maintenance.
C. Installing the Substrate
Place the substrate at the bottom of the tank. You can use substrates of different types and colors to add visual depth and variety.
D. Arranging the Hardscape

We all want to upscale the value of our homes and turn it into the living space we’ve dreamt of. However, the thought of spending an exuberant amount of money compels us to rethink our desires. While several people often take measures to redo the interior, they often neglect the outdoor areas because they think it does not matter as much as the interior. Contrary to the prevalent idea, enhancing the outdoor amps up the home’s beauty, increasing the worth of the property.
Over time, a house’s exterior loses its charm and starts appearing worn out. It demands a retouch, and with little addition here and there, you can change how it looks. Moreover, enhancing the outdoor area gives an excuse to spend time outside and soak up some vitamin D. When you have an exquisitely decorated patio or backyard, you can also throw parties and entertain your guest under the open sky. So if you’re looking for some quick tips to spruce your home’s exterior, take a look down below.
1. Redo the patio
If you want to jazz things up, being by redoing your patio. Install a shade to cover some area of the outer space to enjoy sitting outside even in harsh weather. You can turn to the internet and call professionals to install roof panels. For example, if you live in California, search for ‘patio Irvine CA‘ and browse a few options. Repeat the same for any city you live in, and don’t forget to read reviews. Covering some space on the deck will separate the area, give two sides of the outdoor space, and you can decorate them distinctively.
2. Accentuate with furniture and art
You can also add some benches or space-saving tables with stylish chairs on the patio. You can incorporate some art pieces into the décor. Place a sculpture and make it a focal point, hang a wind chime, or hang some paintings to upgrade the space. The patio does not necessarily have to be huge. You can easily add spark in a relatively small area with some creativity.
3. Refresh the landscape
Flooring is a crucial aspect and can make or break the entire look of the house. Fixing gravel pathways, planting flowering shrubs, or spreading a turf in an outdoor area can enhance the home’s exterior. You can upgrade with cobblestone pavers since they appear trendy and give outdoor spaces a sophisticated touch. Add more trees and colorful plants to make things look fresh. You can refresh your yard by mowing it frequently and installing lawn sprinklers to ensure the plants get the required amount of water.
4. Change the entrance door
The first impression lasts long, and it becomes almost impossible to undo it. The door to your home is the center point of the entire house and can create a strong and security impact. While updating the outer space, you can replace the old, worn-out door with a modern yet stylish one. Spruce it up with a vintage doorbell and some lovely lights on the side. If you want to save money, repaint or repolish the door and make it appear new.
5. Enhance outdoor lighting
Good lighting helps to enhance the ambiance, make the area lively, and give you an excuse to use the place even at night. Landscape bulbs enhance the beauty of the site, giving it a warm feeling. You can also install fancy and trendy decorative bulbs. LED lamp posts are space-saving and cost-effective. Or you can string fairy lights up to illuminate the area. Hang pendants or lanterns from the overhead coverings and add life to the space.
6. Incorporate greenery
While renovating the outdoor space, you can add plants and give a hint of green. In your outdoor area, you can plant a tree or some flowering shrubs on the sides. Another idea is to have a wooden frame and hang some planters on it. You can put small plant pots on tables, corners, or a huge plant to incorporate greenery and make it a focal point.
7. Build an outdoor kitchen
An outdoor kitchen might seem extravagant, but it is a fantastic way of utilizing excess space. The kitchen does not need to have multiple cabinets, kitchen island, or oven. You can install a countertop, one or two shelves, and keep minimal crockery. Outdoors spaces are ideal for barbeque parties in pleasant weather.
8. Opt for small seating arrangements
Outdoor areas are perfect for intimate gatherings. A massive table with multiple chairs may seem intimidating. Instead, you can incorporate different furniture pieces and have two or three styles of space-saving tables. You can also spread a rug or carpet and throw some cushions on it. Seating in the outdoor area must be cohesive and should give a warm feeling. Place the chairs or stools facing each other and make it a private space in an outdoor setting.
9. Install an outdoor fire pit
Installing a fireplace in your yard may seem fanciful, but it can upscale the whole area dramatically. Besides, with a fireplace, you can easily enjoy the outdoors even in cold weather. A fireplace with bare bricks is not only economical but also gives the area a vintage vibe. Sitting with loved ones in front of the fireplace while carrying out intimate conversation can serve as an antidepressant. You can also sit there in solitude and enjoy the heat while devouring your favorite book or beverage.
10. Add a deck
Many houses do not have a deck, but you can install one and create space to soak the sun up. Wooden decks are cost-saving and give people a choice to decorate them as per their preference. People can select a theme and set the place accordingly or adopt a mix and match approach and have different furniture pieces. Wooden decks are ideal for hosting small gatherings or winding down alone after spending a chaotic day outdoors. You can also convert them into a patio later on.
Outdoor renovations can significantly impact your property’s value and add charm. It is more than changing the color of the front door or adding new things to the décor. This article mentions a few ways you can spruce up your home outdoors. Consider investing in these to make the most of your living space.

It’s hard not to be in awe when taking in the sights of Kaupulehu Residence. Not only due to the sheer size of the property which is a whopping 1,668m2 – but also the way it was styled and designed, the kind of design that leaves you with a lingering impression. There is certainly a sense of grandeur about this home, but at the same time, Kaupulehu Residence aims to find an equilibrium with nature: an aesthetic balance where home as a tropical sanctuary, would fit into this severely beautiful setting with quiet strength. Indeed, there is a Japanese-like sense of restraint that is prevalent throughout the design.
Working alongside The Wiseman Group as interior designers and Vita Planning and Landscape Architecture as landscape designers, de Reus Architects was entrusted to translate their client’s vision and create a home on their property at South Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii. As related by Mark de Reus, founding design partner of de Reus Architects to Sugar & Cream, the initial design was for the building and landscape to evolve together as one design one expression. “The design vision for this home was greatly influenced from a recent trip I had taken to Kyoto touring temples and gardens,” says de Reus. “What was so impressive and inspirational was the sense of harmony and balance that came about from having buildings and gardens so interlinked in spirit, so thoughtfully crafted together as one experience.”
He goes on to explain that the home itself is organized as a series of connected and separated hipped roof pavilions or hales as they are called in Hawaii, and planned with a sensibility of a village. These pavilion-like hipped roofs convey a sense of island architecture. The clients themselves, for their part, actually had very few design requests they wanted to achieve a high level of craftsmanship, a good use of curves, as well as the use of the recycled teak roof shingles. The desire for curves accommodated in part by stone walls in curved segments, which were used to define and shape external and internal spaces.


Mark did a major front and back yard renovation for us in 2010. This included a new patio, front and back stone stairs, stone retaining wall, an outdoor fireplace and extensive landscaping. Mark is extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He brings a vision to the project that provides different options based on budget and style. Mark is extremely responsive and immediately answers emails and phone calls. The office staff was also very easy to work with. Tammy provided all quotes (which may need to be changed multiple times based on options) and this was always done in an expedited manner and very professionally. I highly recommend Mark and Legacy Landscape.

Remote Operated Outdoor Light Switch - Many homeowners wonder just how they could revamp their existing landscape, the way they could add value to their own residence with no heavy investment which renovations require. The simplest and most convenient manner in which to do so is to include outdoor lighting fittings. By highlighting the most crucial areas of your yard you can raise the value of your home whilst also adding to the curb appeal that the outside of your home has to offer. Locating the ideal outdoor fixture requires a whole lot of planning.
While significantly less than an entire home renovation, the process nonetheless requires exact calculations of their future savings which certain light fixtures may offer compared to their initial investment costs, in addition to verification that the possible outdoor lighting fittings are in compliance with the Dark Sky Movement and that the possible outdoor lighting fittings that you're contemplating are able to light the right regions of your home. If for example, the front of your home has a quaint garden and dishwasher, it is best to emphasize these areas with outside fixtures that cast the light downward. A footpath can be emphasized for aesthetic appeal and safety through the use of outside lighting fixtures.
You can utilize outdoor lighting to create the ideal layers of lighting for an outside seating area, a seat for stargazing, a porch, deck, or an outside patio. |} Determining the most appropriate outdoor fittings is best done by considering energy efficiency, colour, design, and aesthetic appeal. Each home is different and every homeowner will have a distinct creative mindset. Some want outdoor lighting fittings that fit inside the monochromatic exterior of their home while some desire complementary colours and designs. You will find iron wrought iron designs for outside lighting fittings or delicate lamps whose shades direct artificial light down.
A light expert can assess which areas of your yard need to be emphasized in addition to the suitable amount of lighting required to make certain that no glare happens and that your neighbors aren't disturbed. By hiring professional lighting fixture designs you're able to evaluate private photometric programs, lighting design strategies, and the ready number of fittings necessary to create the ideal light layers.
By hiring professionals this may be avoided. By using the hints of a professional design, it is possible to find cost-effective plans which are truly efficient. If you have an present lighting plan, professionals may take that plan with a design of your home and create a light system which fits inside the limits of your availability. Best lighting makers may be indicated in addition to which decorative lighting designs will maximize energy usage and lamp lifetime. The upfront costs of this plan and these outside lighting fittings may be more than other possibilities, but the long-term savings are well worth the initial investment due to less power use and reduced replacement costs.

fahz began as an overly ambitious Mother's Day gift from Nick to Martha. Rather than designing a single vase, Nick decided to design a generative vase design system. Drawing from his background as an architect and computational designer
, Nick utilized customized software (Rhino
, etc.) to produce a detailed parametric model. The original idea was to update the file with new profiles once a year (children grow), thereby solving the Mother's Day gift conundrum once and for all. It was only as Martha began to show the vase to friends and family that they began to think about ways to expand the project. fahz was officially launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign
in January 2015.

The climbing plants are able to enhance the aesthetic beauty of every type of balcony and, in addition, have other very advantageous characteristics: in winter, for example, insulate the house from the cold and in summer the preserve of the high temperatures. As seen, there are many advantages that climbing plants produce. It will only be necessary to cultivate them in the most appropriate way for their harmonious growth. In this guide, therefore, we want to show you how to grow climbing plants.
How to grow climbing plants?
You will need:
- Work gloves
- Organic fertilizer
- Support lattice
Eliminate the weed vegetation
Get down to business immediately. First you will have to eliminate any weed vegetation on your balcony. Subsequently, dig a hole within the ground that has a diameter of at least 35-40 cm and fertilize it using an organic fertilizer. Alternatively, you could also use cornunghia, a special animal-based fertilizer mixed with mineral elements. Clean up the area around which you carried out the intervention and now dedicate yourself to burying the climbing plant, following the instructions that we will provide in the next paragraph.
Bury the climbing plant
Now, therefore, it will be possible to bury the chosen climbing plant. You must first make sure that it can remain in the same depth it was in when it was placed inside the vase in which they sold it to you. Plant the element and then cover the ground with mulch. Remember not to plant the creeper near walls, because in that area the soil can become dry and this would irreparably compromise its growth. Let the plant take root in the soil and spray it moderately with water only after a couple of days have actually passed since it was buried.
Apply a stand
You will see that, after some time, the plant will begin to develop very quickly. At this point it will be necessary to fan it and attach it to a support. This is to allow the climbing plant to grow along the actually desired direction. Remember that some types of climbing plants have aerial roots that allow the plant itself to attach itself to walls or any fences on the balcony. Others, on the other hand, only have branches and for this reason they must be necessarily attached to special supports. Therefore opt for safe supports, such as metal wires, trellises or pergolas, or the most suitable tools to allow the climbing plant to grow in a harmonious and aesthetically appreciable way.
Never plant creepers near walls on the balcony.

Oak is fine but really no fertilize effect. Maple leaves contain tannin. Which is a plant killer. It stops bottom plants competing with the maple tree. Compost after two years is ok. Compost hummus holds moisture and may not be the best idea. Be sure to use palmice or perlite to aid drainage.
