The Elk Grove Village Plan Commission has recommended approval of a landscape plan for a proposed Walgreens drugstore at Meacham and Biesterfield Roads.
The commission approved a revised plan, which includes planting several species of trees, including greenspire linden, seedless ash and Norway maple, along the parkway at the 1.9-acre site, according to Peter Vadopalas, assistant to the village manager.
Walgreen Co. had originally proposed one tree species, but the village asked for a variety in order to protect the health of the trees. Vadopalas said the company also agreed to 3-foot-high shrubs and trees around the parking lot to block out car headlights.
Kathy Rojina, planner for Bret Boyd, Lake Forest developer of the proposed 15,100-square-foot store, said a construction schedule would not be set until after the Village Board votes Sept. 14 on a sign change for the project.
"The site plan was approved on Aug. 24 subject to a revision to their sign plan," Vadopalas said. "They originally proposed a 20-foot free-standing pylon. The village wants a monument sign."
Walgreens agreed to the change.

Seafront enhancements boost for Southsea
The recent Portsmouth City Council Budget allocation will go towards significant public art installations, as well as making the seafront more user-friendly through additions such as benches, lighting and trees.
These enhancements will complement the sea defence works being undertaken by the Southsea Coastal Scheme – the UK’s largest local authority-led coastal defences’ project.
Councillor Steve Pitt, Deputy Leader of Portsmouth City Council and Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Economic Development said:
“Southsea’s new sea defences will stretch for 4.5km from Old Portsmouth to Eastney and will be a catalyst for enhanced areas.
“This latest funding matches last year’s Budget allocation and is part of our plans to gradually build up a very significant fund for enhancements across the whole of the Southsea Coastal Scheme.
“We’ll be working with local and international artists with plans for the new sea defences to deliver consistent enhancements along the whole seafront that are acceptable to everyone, giving a real Portsmouth identity.
“This could include enhancements such as low-level lighting where there has previously been no lighting at all, to new interpretation boards that showcase the historic importance of the area.
“Accessibility will also be a key concern and we want to enhance the connections to the wider seafront for the benefit of the community as a whole.”
In late 2020, Portsmouth residents had their say on a draft enhancements plan, with the majority of respondents in favour of planned enhancements along the seafront.
The Southsea Coastal Scheme is worth more than £100M and will help to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 10,000 homes and 700 businesses.

Hardscape for Your Landscape
Imagine stepping out into your backyard and being greeted by a meticulously designed outdoor space where you can entertain guests, enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind at the end of the day. The foundation for this dream begins with hardscaping – the art of constructing enduring and functional elements within your landscape. As essential as hardscaping is in creating an appealing and well-organized yard, hiring a professional hardscape contractor should be your top priority. In this article, four compelling reasons why an expert touch makes all the difference in transforming your property will be explored.
A skilled hardscape contractor will not only provide stunning designs but also recommend the most appropriate materials to translate ideas into reality while considering factors such as drainage, maintenance requirements, and local climate. They possess invaluable knowledge about trends and techniques guaranteed to elevate the aesthetics and functionality of your outdoor space.
Quality and Durability
The last thing you want is to invest time and money in landscaping improvements that don’t stand up to wear and tear. A professional contractor is well-equipped with using industry-approved materials and accurate tools that ensure every project meets stringent quality standards. This focus on excellence guarantees that your hardscaping elements remain beautiful and durable for years to come.
Saving Time and Money

Balboa Park is a true gem of San Diego. The park began taking shape in the late 1800’s. Land preserved by civic leaders of San Diego was later shaped into the park we know today, largely by the mother of Balboa Park, Kate Sessions. With a strong foothold in nature, the art and culture of the park were soon to follow.
ROSE GARDEN The Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden is truly glorious. A haven for rose lovers and aficionados alike. Bursting with color and fragrance, the circuitous paths keep me entranced for quite some time. I marvel a the varieties and colors, taking note for my roses at home. I met a volunteer and spent the better part our time talking about the intricacies of iceberg roses. Featuring 130 varieties, the best time to visit is April and May. As I leave, I pause and think about the visitors, each one taking a moment to stop and smell the roses.
OLD CACTUS GARDEN Adjacent to the Rose garden, the Old Cactus Garden loop trail is a must see. Some of the plants in this garden seem prehistoric. A beautiful juxtaposition between large spikes and silky vibrant flowers. It’s an easy stroll, where you’re guaranteed to see something new and if you’re lucky a pair of bunnies or lizards galore if you look closely.
CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANT GARDEN A favorite for my husband and I. You might walk right past it if you’re not looking for it. The trees, shrubs, flowers and succulents of this park are nestled on a slope in a circular path. Bursting with natives, this garden is a great place to learn more about the plants native to the region. We like to go see what is in season and get ideas for our own mini native garden at home. Shoutout to Moosa Creek Nursery where we’ve sourced most of our natives.
JAPANESE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN This garden is an experience all it’s own. Complete with a coy pond and abundant water features, this space transports you to another land and culture. If you can, visit during cherry blossom season in the early spring. This park is free to residents every third Tuesday of the month or with an Explorer pass, otherwise the entrance fee is well worth the $12.
BOTANICAL BUILDING Perhaps the most iconic location in the park, the Botanical Building sits at the head of the Lily Pond. Large palms, succulents and orchids reach out from all dimensions. I remember coming here with my mom as a little girl, a lasting memory of after school picnics
The San Diego Floral Association has a wonderful library in the park that is open to the public. Stop by to chat with the volunteers about plants, read up on something your curious about and maybe pick up a new book or two to add to your library.
This is by no means a complete list of the gardens at Balboa Park. Visit their website to learn more and plan your next trip!

Introducing fire into your outdoor living space creates a destination and gathering spot. Whether for heating or shedding light into the dark of night, the attraction of fire is undeniable. Fire features for the landscape come in a variety of forms and price points from the simple fire pit to the elaborate stone fireplace. In recent years, designers and manufacturers have developed elegant and unique lines of stand along fire elements with the benefit that the homeowner can move the fire feature when wanted in other areas. On the other hand, the permanent masonry built fireplaces provide an anchor in the landscape around which an outdoor living space can be developed. Your, needs, desires and budget will determine the right fire feature for your landscape.
Style & Character
Picking the right style and character for your fire feature depends on everything from your preferences and desires to the context of its planned location. Keep in mind that a fire feature is an architectural element in the landscape and should fit with the architectural style of the home. That doesn’t mean that a contemporary fire trough won’t work at an old stone farm house if placed correctly. On the other hand, an old world stone fireplace probably won’t be appropriate for a modernist home. Your choice of materials and design forms will be the biggest contributor to the fire elements character. The scale, the details and the nature of the fire itself will also determine the style of the final product.
The materials you choose for your fire feature plays a key role in determining its final character and cost. A stucco finish with travertine tile banding can be used to create a Tuscan style fireplace (image above) while a natural stone may create a more rustic old world styling (image below). In the Philadelphia region, a combination of brick and stone often reflects a historic design character indicative of the 18th century estates. In the southwest, stucco is probably the most common material as a reflection of traditional building techniques. As a rule of thumb, stucco will be the most economical option and natural stone the most expensive option with brick somewhere between the two.
Elements & Details
What sort of elements and details would you want to include into your outdoor fireplace? Often side walls are an important element to add. They will ground the fireplace in its space so it doesn’t look like a sore thumb plopped in the middle of the gardens. And they provide the opportunity to create wood storage spaces, seating, counter top or even a wood fired pizza oven. They can also help define the seating area and screen unwanted views behind the fireplace area. Will your fireplace have a mantle and what sort of detailing will it include? How about a raised hearth which will raise the firebox a provide seating or a place to rest and warm your feet? Choosing an ornamental chimney pot for the top of the flu’s can accentuate the chimneys detailing. The fireplace elements and details are what separate the ordinary and extraordinary.
Wood or Gas Burning?
Certainly burning wood is the pinnacle of the fire experience with its unique and dynamic character and fragrances, but gas provides far greater design flexibility and none of the wood burning hassles. Designing a wood burning fireplace is an exact science with specific ratios that must be adhered to when it comes to sizing the firebox opening, depth, flu sizes and chimney heights. If done incorrectly the fireplace will not draw properly and you will get a face full of smoke thus ruining the whole fire experience. On the other hand, burning gas provides a vast range of design flexibility especially outdoors. Your firebox and chimney can be almost any shape and size, for that matter you don’t even need a chimney. A good fireplace designer can help you understand the pros and cons of each option in order to make the right choice for you and your family.
Fire pits are an affordable and flexible way to add a fire feature into your landscape. The traditional in-ground ‘campfire’ type fire pit can be a very low cost and fun destination for the entire family. Take it up another step and you could build a raised fire pit that giving a bit more of an architectural element to the feature. But why lock yourself into having fire in one specific location? In recent years, manufacturers have developed an extensive variety of fantastic fire pits, fire chambers and chimenea type products that can match almost any home owner’s budget and style preferences. Not only can you find a unique sculptural quality piece that will draw the envy of your visitors, you can move it to the action or put it away if you are having a large gathering and need the space.

Circles, cobbles and walling can all add an additional feature to your garden.
Whether it is to create a border, a feature piece or a raised bed, this natural stone will complement your patio perfectly.
Natural stone cobbles are some of the most popular materials for a traditional look and feel. Offering a wide range of colours and two sizes. Natural stone is extremely strong and durable, standing up to wear and tear, lasting a lifetime.
Cobbles are more accurately known as setts also referred to as Belgian block or sampietrino was, and continues to be laid for paving roads and paths. Renowned as a long-lasting and easily maintainable paving method. Historically setts and cobbles were particularly popular for use on steeper streets as cobbles provided horses with better grip than a smooth surface.
Famous throughout the world this paving method is sure to enhance your driveway or patio. Cobbles are also used as edging material and as a feature piece to other hand hun paving slabs in some of our favourite projects.
Feature walls for showcasing water and plant features are a sure fire way to make a bold statement in the garden and outside. Used in rustic step risers, water features and garden seats.
By investing a little more in having them laid properly. Natural stone paving products require very little maintenance, requiring only the occasional cleaning, usually done with a pressure washer.
Natural stones are universally used in interior and exterior applications only your imagination is your limit.
Decorative Circles are a striking feature piece to any patio or laid as a feature in a garden. Circle kits are also used as steps to great effect.
We recommend using circles without the squaring off kit as a rule as the square surround lessens the impact of the circle feature.

Pittsburgh, Pa. – August 31, 2020 – Important headwaters of a wild brook trout stream in Ohiopyle State Park have been restored, thanks to a collaborative effort between the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – Bureau of State Parks (BSP), Wetland Restoration LLC, Beran Environmental and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
A portion of the restoration occurred on a 1,300-acre property that WPC acquired in 2008 and subsequently conveyed to the park. It included a spring-fed concrete swimming pool, road crossing and on-stream dams, which impacted natural wetlands and streams, including Long Run Creek, which supports naturally reproducing brook trout. A portion of the property was named the B.K. Simon Family Forest to honor a significant donation from family members in memory of B. Kenneth Simon, a Pittsburgh businessman who founded All-Pak Inc. and was a philanthropist and longtime member of WPC.
The restoration, which began in July 2018 with surveys by WPC’s Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program and BSP’s resource management personnel, was completed in August 2020. The result is a high-quality habitat for a diverse array of species, native flowering plants for pollinators and a beautiful landscape where visitors can hike, fish and observe wildlife.
An abandoned concrete swimming pool was removed, creating a half acre of exceptional value wetlands that provide improved habitat for waterfowl, amphibians, reptiles and multiple invertebrates including rare dragonflies.
About the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy:
The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) enhances the region by protecting and restoring exceptional places. A private nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1932, WPC has helped to establish 11 state parks, conserved more than a quarter million acres of natural lands and protected or restored more than 3,000 miles of rivers and streams. The Conservancy owns and operates Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, now on the UNESCO World Heritage List, which symbolizes people living in harmony with nature. In addition, WPC enriches our region’s cities and towns through 132 community gardens and other green spaces that are planted with the help of more than 11,000 volunteers. The work of WPC is accomplished through the support of more than 9,000 members. For more information, visit WaterLandLife.org or Fallingwater.org.


By SeMoGABErkah. Patio. At Wednesday, July 11th 2018, 02:49:31 AM.
Every garden needs a patio, somewhere to sit and reflect, enjoy your garden, entertain and relax. Often, a patio will be the focal point of a garden so it is important to not only get your patio design right, but to also use the right materials! Bricks, concrete and pebbles can be used, but often the most popular choice is flagstones as they are generally flat and durable.
Perhaps your patio is nestled between some businesses and space is at a premium. The type of patio chair you choose can make or break the consistency and flow of the design of your patio and your home, particularly if your patio opens up directly from your living or dining area. For this and many other reasons, the patience exercised in choosing the right patio chairs is well worth its weight.
When purchasing your flagstones get them all at the same time, to avoid variations in texture and colour. Popular choices for flags include sandstone, limestone and granite. There are also a lot of imported stones available like indian stone, which is often a cheaper option to some regional stones like yorkshire stone.


Berkshire Golf Club Ascot14th January 2014
The Berkshire Golf Club wanted to redesign their practice ground. The existing ground was in poor condition with little or no drainage and very poor soils.
Wooldridge was selected to work at The Berkshire based on previous experience at other golf courses.
Wooldridge worked closely with the Club to draw up the plans for a new, practical-yet-challenging practice ground and the proposal was approved by the land owners, The Crown Estate. Wooldridge located and re-used fill material from local construction sites then spread, levelled and compacted the area. The site was top soiled with material recycled on site during the project and seeded. After six months, leaving the earth to settle, Wooldridge completed land-drainage works.
To minimise disruption for the Club’s members, work began in the autumn and was completed in two phases so that major works took place during the quieter months of winter. The project was delivered on time. During the entire project approximately 120,000m3 of materials that would have gone to landfill were re-used and approximately 32,000m3 were recycled and used as topsoil.

The next step in Cobourg’s plan to re-vitalize the waterfront is to fix and enhance the East Pier. This requires extensive public consultation and this started last year (see links below) and now there is another consultation although this time it’s virtual and hosted on Engage Cobourg. This includes a presentation in two versions – a pdf and/or a video – a survey with the first question “have you watched the presentation?” and a forum for free form comments. The presentation starts with some background information then divides the area into zones and discusses options. Then the discussion moves into three “design approaches” then finally talks about design palettes – Contemporary, Heritage or hybrid. The survey opened Sept 4 and runs to September 18. Below is a summary but all Cobourg residents are encouraged to take the survey – go here.
Summary of Presentation
At the start of the presentation and in the survey questions, the area is divided into three zones:
- Waterfront Gateway – includes the entrance near the Esplanade parking area and the parking area before the Coast Guard area.
- Pier Promenade Connection – from the Coast Guard area through the narrower width section.
- Pier Community Space – the wider area towards the South end.
Different treatments are proposed for each although these are consolidated when the different “approaches” are discussed. This zoning does allow for some questions that are particular to them – e.g. should there be a “gateway feature”. But in the interest of brevity, let’s focus on the three “approaches”.
- Original Design Adjustment Ground truth (sic) proposed components and update areas with new information. (as originally proposed – see this article – 17 May 2018)
- Expand the Green Reduce the amount of open hardscape and introduce more trees, soft landscaping and pedestrian-only space.
- Venue + Urban park Balance hardscape and soft landscape areas to provide central gathering areas for events and celebrations.
Here are the three ideas illustrated (click to enlarge and scroll through):
The final section of the survey asks about palettes – that is whether benches, signs, lights, bike racks etc should be heritage, contemporary or hybrid style.
Presentation via Video
It’s recommended that you view the video (embedded above), possibly view the pdf version in addition or instead, then participate in the survey (go here)
The Final design and costing is scheduled for February 2021. Implementation would be 2021-22.

Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, British Columbia is one place that is essential for any visitor to see when in the area. This huge chunk of green land in the middle of town is bordered by water and filled with trees of many varieties, lakes, ponds, peacocks, goats, ravines and more. The diversity here is amazing and it’s truly remarkable to see a city that has worked so hard to preserve it. You can bring children to the petting zoo or have a picnic in the grass with swans and ducks wandering about. It’s a “must visit”.

Every year around now, GM re-runs an article reminding people that Dumbarton Oaks in the fall is nearly as spectacular as it is in the spring. But this year we can’t enjoy it in person, whether we’re reminded to or not.
So GM will have to merely offer you this virtual visit. May it bring you some peace:
Dumbarton Oaks is well known for its spring displays of incredible seasonal bounties. But people often overlook how spectacular the acres of gardens are in the fall. Hurry up and catch it now before it’s gone.
But here’s just a taste. The wildflowers of the Herbaceous Border are breathtaking:
The rest of the garden is at that magical moment when the gardeners loosen their grips and the plants give off one more explosion before the winter:
Of course the rest of Dumbarton Oaks is also looking great:

What makes you different from other contractors?
MazeLandscaping are unique in our aim to work with a customer at the stage or level they desire. We can help you get the project started with a design; we can complete part of the design or perform the full installation. We can work in stages, completing your landscaping in one year or over a couple years as fits with your schedule and budget.
What is the best way to get started?
Booking a consultation is the easiest way to get started. This will provide an opportunity for you to sit down with one of our landscape consultants to discuss your ideas and project in deta il. Book a consultation today and let’s get started!
What happens during the consultation?
During the consultation, a consultant will spend however long is necessary with the homeowners. During this time the consultant is available to discuss some design ideas and make.
What do I need for the consultation?
You don’t need anything to get started. However, providing your landscape consultant with pictures, names of products or plants that you know you like or do not like, will greatly assist your consultant in providing accurate information and budgeting for your project. An original site plan for your home is also very helpful to the process if available.
What are your consultation and design fees?
We believe that a great landscape starts with a solid plan. The best way to do this is with a properly scaled landscape design. We love working with our clients to turn their ideas and vision into real plan. Too many companies here in Dubai want up front fees for designs and plans. Although these fees are waived if you decide to go ahead, it is still quite a costly risk should you not like their designs or prices!
We are confident enough to offer a completely FREE consultation with our design experts, as well as computer-generated designs. Simply want to run your ideas by us before engaging into a project? We invite you to visit us at our landscape showroom & design centre. We will spend as long as you like with you at no cost – just remember to book in advance!
What is involved in the design process?
The first step is a survey of your area by our landscape consultant. The area is then drawn to scale, and design concepts are worked in. The design is presented to the homeowner for approval or suggested revisions. There may be one or several design revision meetings. Once a budget is agreed and one of the drawings chosen, a finalized 3D walkthrough of the scaled design is presented to the homeowners.
What is the benefit of having a design done?
A design is invaluable for several reasons. A design will provide the homeowners and/or a contractor with a blueprint to follow. Material counts can be made from the scaled design. A design will also allow the project to be broken down into stages or phases. However, the main benefit is that it is an opportunity for our professionals to design the project with the assistance of the homeowners, and it is this cooperation that ensures a superior result.
Can we work within a certain budget?
Absolutely! Working within a given budget is very important to most homeowners. We work within all budgets and together we will assist you in keeping your project within your established budget.
Who builds the pools in your landscapes?
We do! Unlike typical landscape contractors who outsource this part of the project, we actually build all of our clients’ pools ourselves. This unique offering allows us to see our customers dream right through from the beginning of a project to its end. Whatever the size and shape – whether for leisure or a place to swim laps – we have the expertise and experience to build a pool that will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment!

Great range of colours & Unique
Indian Sandstone Paving colours
Autumn Brown Sandstone Paving
Autumn Brown sandstone paving offers a mix of earthy tones of mostly browns, buffs and greys. The Indian stone is a very popular choice for clients because it blends into any style garden or patio area, whether it’s a traditional, or a contemporary feel you want.
Each slab features a riven surface texture. This texture will have been created naturally when the stone is split along its layers, giving a truly authentic finish to add to the natural, organic look and feel.
Fossil Mint Sandstone Paving
Ivory Sandstone Paving
Ivory Sawn sandstone is a light-coloured Indian stone paving featuring a blend of ivory and cream tones throughout the smooth, sawn surface.
The sandstone paving offers a contemporary feel with an elegant, neutral colour palette whilst giving a more eye catching look to any garden or patio. Being sawn and honed, the external surface is suited to a more modern style garden or patio area. Its brightness will always give a brighter look which is particularly useful in darker shaded gardens.
Kandla Grey Sandstone Paving
Raj Green Sandstone Paving
In contrast Raj Green sandstone features a range of green, brown, buff and grey tones. It is this variety of colours and tones that appeals to clients giving subtle colours and some brighter ones.
This sandstone paving is also available with the additional finish of sawn and honed. We advise our clients this sandstone paving is best suited in a traditional setting mainly.
Please note: Raj Green sandstone paving is very similar to Autumn Brown sandstone which is made up more of browns and buffs and is also available.
Rippon Buff Sandstone Paving
Rippon Buff sandstone is made up of warm golden tones, as well as orange, pink and purple hues and also has the occasional natural veining and variations throughout.
The natural colours of the slabs as with most sandstone paving becomes more vibrant when the slab is wet, giving an eye catching finish to its surface. We think this sandstone slab is suitable to more traditional settings.
Sawn Mint Sandstone Paving

Urban planning is used loosely to refer to intentional interventions in the urban development process...The term 'planning' thus subsumes a variety of mechanisms that are in fact quite distinct: regulation, collective choice, organizational design, market correction, citizen participation, and public sector action.
The University of Illinois has a long and rich history in the training of urban and regional planners, dating back to 1913 when Charles Mulford Robinson, one of the era's most distinguished planners, was appointed Professor of Civic Design in the University's Landscape Architecture Division. At that time, only the University of Illinois and Harvard University offered courses in urban planning. In 1945 the University authorized a master's degree in urban planning, and in 1953 an undergraduate degree was established. Both programs were offered in the Department of Landscape Architecture until 1965, when the Department of Urban Planning became its own academic unit. The Department established the Ph.D in Regional Planning in 1983.
The Department of Urban and Regional Planning is one of the largest planning programs in the U.S., and it is one of very few programs that offers three degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Planning, a Master of Urban Planning, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Regional Planning. It also offers a Minor in Urban Planning, as well as joint master's degree options, including with Law, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture. The size of the planning faculty, and the Department's presence on an Urbana campus with eleven colleges, nearly 3,000 faculty, 41,000 students, and over $330 million in funded research annually means that Illinois planning students have an extraordinarily rich array of learning and research opportunities available to them.
Located in the College of Fine and Applied Arts along with the School of Architecture and Department of Landscape Architecture, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning includes design components in its curricula through its own teaching and via linkages with those units while providing a planning education with firm roots in the social and policy sciences. The Planetizen Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs, 4th Edition, ranks Illinois among the top three programs in the United States and the leading planning program in the Midwest.

We observe our surroundings with multi-faceted senses. We don’t just notice a home’s color, but its noises, textures, and even smells. With a yard, you observe not just the plants and the lawn, but the environment’s creative arrangement. Are the flowers’ blooming seasons thoughtfully timed? Are there chairs in areas you’d like to sit? Are the yard accessories like fences, gates, and children’s play sets arranged functionally?
Yards are meant to be used, not looked at. By adding a third dimension to your yard, its beauty and usability can both be enhanced.
If your yard has plenty of mature tree cover, you’re in luck on this one. But if not, you can consider other options. A table with a classy, fashionable umbrella can be a picnic life-saver. A pergola, gazebo, or other outdoor shaded enclosure can cut the sun to offer comfort, but also serve as a tall focal point for your yard’s design.
The old stump in the yard isn’t going to last forever, so investing in long-lasting, beautiful outdoor seating is a good idea. From swings and hammocks to benches, chairs, and picnic tables, the possibilities are endless. Look for patterns and materials that will help deepen the multi-dimensional effect you a building. Cream-colored chairs against cream-colored siding will disappear. Try an exciting pattern on a grey patio or a bold white against a dark hedge.
After selecting the styles that appeal to your lifestyle, position the furniture for maximum comfort and easy conversation. Arrangements should encourage your family and guests to take in the loveliest views of your property.


It is not often that we are given the luxury of developing a garden from the ground up. This client from Hartford Connecticut was “all in” for a relaxed Virginia farmhouse look. We started with the hardscaping.
In the front, grading left us with a very steep hill to the front porch. We created a dry lay walkway in stone dust on this steep hill to promote a farmhouse look. We had to lay a block base at each landing and fill it with crusher run to support the base of the walkway. Erosion and heavy rains would dissolve the structure otherwise. These 5 feet wide, 7-inch high stone steps took 4 strong men to move, especially after the hurricane where the mud became a slip and slide. The Van Tassel stone stacked wall at the base of the stairs is a stunning first feature that you see as you enter the property from a hilly, winding driveway.
Here is a “Before and After Picture” of a raised brick paver terrace we designed and built in the back of the house. Lots of layering and tamping of crusher run gravel goes into the cinder block base of the brick faced terrace to match the grade of the fireplace. The pavers here are a 6-pattern design. The steps are bluestone treads which add another dimension into the color scape.

Lakeside and Johnson parks in Marble Falls are due from $3.3 million in upgrades and improvements. Staff photo by Jared Fields
STAFF WRITER JENNIFER FIERRO
MARBLE FALLS — The Marble Falls Parks and Recreation Commission learned during its regular meeting Sept. 11 how officials will pay for $3.3 million in upgrades and improvements to Lakeside and Johnson parks as well as received a timeline for Phase 1A of a multi-year parks plan.
Marble Falls Finance Director Margie Cardenas said the city will cover the projects by issuing certificates of obligation, or bonds. Reimbursement for that debt will come through several sources, including the Marble Falls Economic Development Corp., hotel occupancy taxes, and regular city revenue streams such as property taxes and sales taxes.
The city is eyeing several major park improvements over the next five years. The $3.3 million Phase 1A includes a 20-foot-wide boat ramp with six parking spots at Johnson Park, more parking on Yett Street, new restrooms in Johnson Park and on Main Street, a Lakeside Beach and restrooms, parking at Lakeside Pavilion, Lakeside Park trails, irrigation, furnishings, wayfinding signage, landscaping, utilities, lighting, and grading.
Cardenas said the annual bond payment will be approximately $234,000.
As for getting things rolling on this phase, officials hope to contract with a design firm by Dec. 5 with construction actually beginning around Sept. 1, 2018. Then, city leaders estimate, Phase 1A should be completed by June 30, 2019.
“As we progress, there’s a lot to look forward to in the parks,” Parks and Recreation Director Robert Moss said. “(The schedule) is aggressive.”
The downtown parks improvement plan (Phase 1 of the overall Capital Improvement Plan for the city parks) includes three sub-phases starting with Phase 1A. The other two — phases 1B and 1C — include a raised overlook, a boardwalk, a waterfall pavilion, restrooms, a 1,500-person-capacity Lakeside amphitheater, a smaller amphitheater, a pedestrian bridge, and more.
The city has included improvements to several of its parks outside the downtown area as part of the five-year plan.

We appear to be in a renaissance period for landscapes and cities -- with massive investment in new large-scale urban public parks, waterfronts, re-used infrastructures, public squares, trails, and other public spaces in cities around the country. There are a host of beautifully vibrant new parks around the world - projects more colorful, well-crafted, inventive and diverse than at any previous point in history. This talk will focus on the nearly 25 years of extraordinary work involved in creating an accessible and connected Bayfront and a magnificent urban National Park for San Francisco, starting with the designation of the Presidio as a National Park in 1994, the remarkable transformation of Crissy Field in 2001, and continuing with the new Presidio Tunnel Tops today


Throughout the length and breadth of its more than 50,000 hectares, an infinite network of paths crosses deep valleys and rises up to 2,000-metre-high peaks. In winter this area is covered with snow. When spring comes, the water from the thaw flows down the peaks to the low areas, creating many streams and small waterfalls. The mountain attains full splendour until the end of summer. In autumn the plant covering takes on reddish hues.


Well, we can’t complain there’s been no rain. It’s hard to be upset when everything looks so lush and green. A rainy June is much preferred over a pending drought. Weather means more to gardeners than idyl conversation. There are pros and cons to having such abundant rain and that’s the topic of today’s podcast, what to do in – and for – a muddy garden. Listen in.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the spectacular 200-acre Exbury Gardens near Beaulieu in the New Forest.
World famous for its Rothschild Collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and rare trees and shrubs, Exbury is celebrating its big birthday with some impressive new projects and a series of special events.
A new ‘secret centenary garden’ and ‘stream’ of spring bulbs opened to the public in March. Designed by RHS Gold Medal-winning designer Marie-Louise Agius, great grand-daughter of Exbury Gardens’ founder Lionel de Rothschild, the contemporary centenary garden features subtle nods to the family history, and will reach its full glory in late summer.
Visitors can also discover more about the story behind Exbury Gardens in a new history exhibition that showcases photographs of the gardens and staff from the last 100 years.
Keep an eye on the website for special events throughout the year, from exhibitions and special offers to a day devoted to dogs and a New Forest summer fair.
The gardens were apparently described by one visitor as “heaven with the gates open” and are a horticulturalist’s dream. But its appeal is far greater than just for gardeners.
There are more than 20 miles of paths to explore, and children can play spot the woodland creature, with a series of sculptures of deer, rabbits, lizards and meerkats alongside some very real pheasants, deer, herons and kingfishers!
We visited on a cool and cloudy spring day, but it was still spectacular.
The grounds make for a stunning peaceful walk down towards the Beaulieu River. There are so many different corners to explore: formal gardens, informal gardens, ponds, meadows, a bog garden and a rock garden, woodlands with ancient yew trees, shady walks along rivers, and spring carpets of sapphire haze created by bluebells alongside bubbling streams.
There’s a special family ticket and kids love racing along in the wind and rain as happily as in bright sunshine, only stopping to tuck into a picnic at one of the little hideaway spots.
Little ones love the play area, the specially designed family trail and activities, and the steam railway which chugs and whistles its way happily through the rhododendrons.
The Gardens are also dog-friendly. Although dogs have to be kept on a short lead, which can be tough when you’re walking with a boisterous Beagle, Bonios are handed out as a matter of course in the tearooms.
On June 9, 2019, there’s a ‘Devoted to Dogs Day’ with discounts for those who bring along their four-legged friend.
At the exit gate is a small nursery with some specimens of the amazing plants in the collection to take home with you – worth a visit in its own right if you’re in the area.
Tickets and opening times for Exbury Gardens can be found here.


Gladys Quinn Patios, 2019-01-02 06:30:42. Like all projects, start by putting a draft plan in place first before anything else. Set aside a budget for patio renovation. Estimate the time frame to get everything done. Most importantly, draw a layout plan of your existing patio. Take down the measurements of the structure, note especially those fixtures that are not easily movable. The layout plan will serve as a guide when you scout around for outdoor patio ideas. It helps you to focus on the types of design that work for a patio of similar structure and footage.
Eleanor Short Patios, 2019-01-03 07:30:52. When purchasing your materials, consider rather buying natural quality material than artificial ones: keep the project as environmentally friendly as possible. Besides, there are no better designer and manufacturer than Mother Nature! The colours are rich and won't fade as easily, the impact the project will have on the environment will be reduced, the strength of the stone and other materials will be better and it will look all natural, which is what you should be going for. Mother Nature will give your patio ideas life and a unique edge.
Eleanor Short Patios, 2018-12-28 05:19:05. How about a hot tub designed to go with your patio? Again, this is not a cheap patio idea but one that will make your patio a very popular place all year long. If you want to do something like this just consult your local hot tub store and they will be able to give you some great ideas on how to incorporate the hot tub - patio design.
Emilia Armstrong Patios, 2018-12-19 05:48:12. Summer is here, and if you need some great patio ideas to spruce up the look of your yard, you aren't alone. Even if you don't have a huge budget to work with, you can really make your patio look great. When you spend some time making your patio look gorgeous, you'll look at the area as an extension of your home and you'll want to use it more often. Give yourself permission to get creative and really infuse your patio with your own personal style. Patios are a great place to spend time reading a book, sipping some tea, or catching up with friends and family.
Roxanne Ayers Patios, 2018-12-21 05:53:38. But nighttime is much less scheduled. As a result, many of our favorite, most classic leisure time activities -- the ones we actually do -- end up being done at night. Think watching television and cooking and eating. Reading, playing board games, sewing projects and catching up with friends. Most of that is relegated to evenings.
Melisa Ferguson Patios, 2018-12-22 04:58:26. 2) Create a gathering area. If you have the money, its nice to build a pergola, or even set up a simple outdoor canopy. But if you can't afford that, just gather a bunch of chairs together. Get some chairs that serve as side tables, too, and possibly a little table.
Misty Lara Patios, 2018-12-21 05:54:04. Wrap up your paper research. It's time to go see the real world. A simple look around your neighborhood will open up your eyes but don't stop there. Public parks and pedestrian malls can inspire you too. Actually seeing how outdoor patio ideas are incorporated into real life designs will help concrete your own idea. You will see how the different types of patio furniture and ground can interact to give you the ambiance you want to create.
Jeanne Blair Patios, 2018-12-18 12:27:45. Patios are a wonderful place to spend your summer months. Choosing the size, shape, theme, exact location, and material of the patio are all things you will need to figure out. You may want to add lighting to your new patio so that you can use it during the night in the summer. The lighting should blend in well with the patio design and not look like a spotlight. You need to provide subtle lighting that highlights the features of the patio design and makes the patio more beautiful.
Coleen Vincent Patios, 2018-12-20 07:18:43. What type of weather you have is also important as the patio must be made out of something that is durable for the conditions. If you live in a place where there is either extreme cold or hot weather, you may want to consider covering and protecting your new patio as much as possible. It is amazing how much damage both hot and cold weather can do to rock and almost any other material you may choose to make your patio design idea out of.
Debbie Washington Patios, 2018-12-20 07:17:27. A good number patio ideas will include investing in lots of great flowers. Pick up intriguing containers to put on the patio, kinds with color and texture. Next fill the pots with herbs such as basil, mint, oregano and cilantro. A majority of these will add an enjoyable scent as well as produce fresh cuttings for salads and also other dishes. There are lots of vegetables that also do remarkably in containers. Raising the vegetables in baskets also makes them easier to maintain and keep bug free.
Emilia Armstrong Patios, 2018-12-19 05:48:01. Do not forget to include safety barriers and a non-slip surface for your decking or patio.
Gladys Quinn Patios, 2018-12-18 12:27:28. Patio ideas that include some kind of water feature may enhance any outside living space into a private paradise. The small-scale water feature can create a soothing mood as well as turn into the focal point of one's patio design. The trickling noises of the water are calming. Additionally they bring in birds and butterflies of countless types. A ornamental fountain could be hidden into a nook, constructed into a wall or put into the middle of the patio.

Decorate your place with rock fabric and walk through your very own secret rock garden. Show your birthstone and enjoy images of bloodstone or ruby sparkle from your design. The astonishing red rock formations shown off in your design is another marvelous way of flaunting the beauty of nature. Rocks are used in many styles of gardens and come in various types ranging from crystal gems to lava rocks, all of which are one of a kind and can be used in styling your space. Every rock has significance and energy gifting you with the option of what kind of vibe you want brought into your place.

Medidas de restauración de los ecosistemas urbanos
The "Blue Pearls for Berlin" eco-account project confronts critical challenges in the German capital, tackling issues such as habitat deterioration, biodiversity loss, and the growing impacts of climate change. With a substantial population of 3.76 million residents dispersed across 892 km2, Berlin is proactively addressing these concerns through a comprehensive initiative focused on the ecological revitalization of 30 small water bodies and their immediate surroundings.
Initiated in response to the escalating effects of drought leading to severe water shortages in ponds and small lakes, the project is strategically designed to counteract these ecological consequences, especially in the wake of major construction projects. Launched under the Berlin eco-account framework, the endeavor is a city-wide compensation management instrument aimed at mitigating the environmental repercussions of significant construction initiatives. Led by the City of Berlin, the project is a collaborative effort involving key partners such as the Berlin Rainwater Agency, the Foundation Nature Conservation Berlin, Berliner Wasserbetriebe, and various Berlin districts.
The primary goal is to create and enhance diverse habitats for both flora and fauna, simultaneously offering Berliners novel and enriching nature experiences within the urban landscape. While the project is still in its early stages, its multifaceted objectives include increasing biodiversity, adapting to climate change impacts, and facilitating decentralized rainwater management. As part of its initial phase, the project is implementing revitalization measures in two pilot projects, serving as a blueprint for broader applications.
The endeavor signifies a crucial step towards reinforcing Berlin's green infrastructure. Funding for the initiative is sourced from the state of Berlin, leveraging resources like the Berlin Programmes for Sustainable Development or Energy and Climate, complemented by national funds. Looking ahead, the project envisions extending its impact by implementing pilot projects, expanding to cover additional areas, and securing additional funding for the comprehensive revitalization of water bodies. This holistic approach highlights the project's commitment to integrated planning, necessitating cross-departmental and cross-stakeholder cooperation to address the multifaceted environmental challenges facing the city.
