The driveway – it is the first place that your guests come in contact with your property. It can welcome (or not) and can set the tone for a visit because it is so tied to your guests’ first impression. Often homeowners overlook the potential of their driveways to dazzle and impress their guests. As a result, the true potential of driveways goes untapped. One of the best ways to unlock the potential of your drive is to illuminate it with outdoor lighting. That said, it is very easy to light a driveway poorly, and poor lighting can leave you with something that looks like a landing strip at the airport rather than a scene that evokes emotion and sets mood.
Because you want lighting that is elegant and enticing, you need lighting designers that will be able to properly illuminate the area without overpowering it. Driveway lighting should bring attention to your drive and landscape elements, not to the lights themselves. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Naples lighting designers can give your drive a welcoming atmosphere that makes your guests want to pull in and stay awhile. Using our high quality, copper path lights,
While you may have a straight driveway, many Naples drives incorporate an island that is home to palms, foliage plants, and flowers. These areas can be difficult to illuminate because of the concrete that surrounds them, but when they are lit correctly, they are especially striking. Though lighting an island is a difficult project, we are up to the challenge. You can have confidence that the end result will be as lovely and purposeful as your architecture and garden lighting. There will be no unsightly conduit stretching over your driveway to house the wiring. Rather, your guests will be greeted by warm, welcoming light, accentuating the best features of your island landscaping. Using uplighting, spotlighting, and a combination of other lighting techniques, your island can be the most striking on the block and showcase the beautiful palms and shrubs that so characterize our state.
So if you are ready to elevate your driveway, call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Naples today. With your project in our hands, you can relax, enjoy your property, and anticipate the beautiful scene we will create to make a lasting impression on all your guests – a scene that will be memorable and satisfying. Not a runway. (239) 970-9554

Suisun Landscapes (Project)
As the largest brackish marsh on the West Coast, Suisun Marsh is a unique transitional landscape between the Bay and the Delta portions of the Estuary. The Marsh has long been managed for recreational hunting and native biodiversity, yet it is threatened by an uncertain future under climate change. Sea level rise and increasing salinity pose significant threats to the current structure and uses of the Marsh. Likely impacts include conversion of wetlands to open water, changes in species composition, increased flood risk, and drainage challenges in managed wetlands.

Things To Consider When Choosing A Garden Arbour
Before you commit to any particular arbour be it a seated arbour or wooden arbour, there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. It is important to check over the features of the arbour and make sure that it is suitable for your needs.
In a smaller garden, a garden arbour can make a stunning feature without taking up masses of space. On the other hand, if you have a larger garden, there are some beautiful corner arbours or those with more space to make an even more striking statement.
It is also important to think about the number of seats you will need. If you live alone or as a couple, then a small, two seat arbour will be sufficient. However, if you have guests over or have a family then something a little more spacious might be required.
Garden arbours are typically made from either wood or metal and both materials have their pros and cons. For example, wood gives a much more high-end and luxurious look but it will require a certain degree of maintenance to prevent it from deteriorating.
On the other hand, metal is usually treated and this means it will effectively resist weather and other elements making it last longer without maintenance. However, you should keep in mind that metal arbours may not look as good.
A seated garden arbour may come with a swinging seat or one that remains static. If you want to gently sway as you relax then go for a swing seated arbour. However, for people with mobility issues, this seat design may pose some problems.
Some garden arbours come with storage which is great for keeping cushions and blankets as well as an array of garden equipment. That said, if you are going to choose this option then it is important to make sure that the arbour is completely waterproof so that your belongings are kept clean and safe.
What is an arbour UK?
A garden arbour is a freestanding structure that is used in a garden and can serve several purposes. For the most part, people use their arbours as an additional seating area thanks to the overhead shelter included in these designs. In many cases, an arbour will come with seating so you don’t have to include your own.
Garden arbours in the UK are available in different shapes and sizes. You can purchase corner arbours, seated arbours, wooden arbours and even metal arbours here directly on the garden and patio website.
But much more than this, a garden arbour can be used for other things such as placing over a BBQ for a more aesthetically pleasing cooking area. Some people also use their arbours as a place to support climbing plants.
How much is a garden arbour?
The cost of purchasing and putting together a garden arbour will depend on a lot of factors. Of course, the larger the arbour you choose, the more expensive it will be owing to the cost of the materials. You will typically find that wooden arbours are more costly than their metal counterparts.
In addition to this, the quality of the materials will impact the cost as well as whether the fixings are included or whether you will need to purchase them separately. Of course, while putting together a garden arbour is pretty straightforward, some people choose to hire someone to do it and this will come with its own costs. On average, you should be able to pick up an arbour for a couple of hundred pounds.
Do you need a base for an arbour?
Most garden arbours do not come with a base and since they are freestanding, can be placed on almost any surface. It is important to make sure that you choose a level area that the arbour won’t easily wobble on.
Placing the arbour onto grass, especially if it is made from wood, may cause it to rot sooner and so we would always recommend using stone or concrete where you can.
Where to put a garden arbour?
This really depends on your garden space and where the particular type of garden arbour you have purchased will fit. For example, if you’ve purchased a corner arbour, then ideally it would fit perfectly into one corner of your garden. Some people prefer to put their garden arbour in a quiet location in the garden to further add to the relaxing and tranquil environment the arbour creates when sitting and relaxing there.

The new owner of this property had transformed the inside, but wasn't sure how to tackle the garden. The request was for a relaxing & welcoming space in the day & an entertainer's 'wow factor' by night. The key was to keep it simple & work with the existing structures. The old water feature had to be removed & a new water feature installed. The walls were given a smooth render finish & timber screens & seating installed. A simple planting plan compliments & highlights the statement columns. Each column was painted with 'Porters' rust paint, & when uplit create interesting evening shadows. A key planting feature is the dwarf magnolias; the rust under leaf compliments the columns.

If you are exposed to sunshine so much, you can think of installing a shade. It is important to ensure you maintain comfort as that is the whole idea of using the backyard. As you furnish the place you need to be guided by that fact.
The second aspect that you should consider is entertainment. One of the reasons for creating a beautiful outdoor space is to be able to entertain. You can come up with a certain spot where you will be entertaining yourself with some of the people close to you. When you include a table in the design you get something that will enable you to enjoy a drink alone or with your friends. You may also want to be creative and use the space more creatively.

Wood is a common choice among raised bed gardeners. It is readily available and easy to work with. Rail road ties make a very rustic look, while planed lumber appears more finished.
Another special style element in our Japanese garden is empty space, it may sound strange but this space is one of the most important style elements that this type of garden has. It is one of the traditions you can follow when you decide to do your own design. The empty space forms a retreat to all the beauty of the trees, plants and other elements, it reminds you of what you have missed and what you have found. These are just those elements what people need to learn to understand before they can fully appreciate the Japanese style garden.

Koishikawa Korakuen is one of the few gardens in Japan with a designation as the Special Place of Scenic Beauty and Special Historic Site of the country. Like other Japanese-style gardens, this garden features a big pond; an array of different trees; and flowers that bloom for every season. However the inspiration from various classic literature as well as images from historic places makes it unique from other gardens.
The park is just beside Tokyo Dome and a few minutes away from the Tokyo station via Marounochi Subway train. It is also less than ten minutes walk from Iidabashi station via Oedo Line or Tozai Line.
Walking Around Koishikawa Korakuen in Spring
Last Sunday, my husband and I visited Korakuen for sakura viewing. It has been ages since my last visit to this park. Hence, it felt like it was my first time walking around. In early spring, the park has a late winter- early spring ambiance. Some trees do not have leaves yet due to the cold winter while some are in full bloom.
While my husband was queuing for our tickets, the park’s wooden map caught my attention. It is very impressive to see how the creator carved the minute details of the map.
Inside the park, the white blooms of the sakura trees welcomed us. These trees are lined along the big pond together yet separated from other trees.
Inspiration from History and Chinese Classics
Dai-Sensui, which is the main pond, is an attempt to resemble Biwa Lake. In olden times, people enjoy boating in this area.
From the sakura trees, we walked along the forest-like path surrounded by ferns and tall trees going to Engetsu-kyo or the Full Moon Bridge.
Beside the bridge is an uphill path towards the ruins of Komachi-zuka.
After enjoying the garden from a higher vantage point, we walked down to the Ume Grove. Although it is still quite early, we saw some irises not from there.
Nearby the grove are the wisteria trellis and some rice paddies. The owner built the rice paddies for his wife and son to learn the hardship of farmers.
Not far from there is a smaller inner garden separated by a Chinese gate. Inside was the former site of the shoin-style guest house of the Mito Domain. Although the house is no longer there, walking around the pond gave a nostalgic vibe.
Walking around the park was not a difficult navigation because of its pebble path. This winding path guides the visitors as they enjoy the different areas of the garden. Alongside the path is a small stream to reflect an image of the Mito highway during Edo period. The sound of the water helped us relax and be one with nature despite being in the city center.

Use an old tire to create a small backyard pond. My kids, 3 sons, have been helping with yard work and planting. They keep asking for a pond. I think this is a great DIY project to do outside with them. Looks simple.


In a world of rapidly evolving technology and modern aesthetics, there's something undeniably enchanting about the past – a connection to the roots of our heritage and the architectural treasures that have stood the test of time. Harte Outdoor Lighting, a name synonymous with quality and creativity, has once again captured the essence of bygone eras in their latest offering: a design inspired by the old downturned yard light. This new addition celebrates the vernacular style, reminding us that true beauty is often found in the simplicity of tradition.
The concept of the vernacular is rooted in time-tested methods, materials, and design elements. It's a style that has stood strong against the tide of fleeting trends, embodying a sense of timelessness that speaks to generations past, present, and future. Harte Outdoor Lighting's commitment to this approach is not just a nod to the past but a step toward a more sustainable future.
By reviving older technologies and materials, this design echoes the wisdom of our ancestors who understood the harmony between people and the environment. As we grapple with climate change and the need for more eco-friendly practices, the vernacular way of building serves as a beacon of inspiration. It's a bridge between heritage and innovation, a reminder that modern solutions can be rooted in time-honoured principles.
Furthermore, embracing vernacular design can revitalise local economies. Traditional building materials and methods that might have fallen out of favour can find a new purpose, offering a market for locally sourced materials and skilled craftsmen. This fusion of heritage and economic viability aligns with the ethos of sustainable living, showcasing a holistic approach to design and construction.
Harte Outdoor Lighting's latest creation pays homage to the beauty found in simplicity, channelling the ornate curve and teardrop lantern head that have charmed generations. The graceful lines of the curve create an instant visual appeal, drawing the eye to the heart of the design. This curvaceous element not only exudes elegance but also harkens back to the days when attention to detail was a mark of quality craftsmanship.
The teardrop lantern head is a nod to the past, reminiscent of the classic fixtures that adorned yards and pathways in days gone by. This timeless shape offers a sense of nostalgia while seamlessly fitting into modern outdoor aesthetics. It's a testament to the design's versatility that it can seamlessly integrate into various styles, from vintage to contemporary, forging a harmonious connection between the past and the present.
One of the fundamental aspects of any outdoor lighting fixture is its ability to illuminate its surroundings effectively. Harte Outdoor Lighting's new design takes this responsibility seriously, featuring a clear lens that guarantees optimal illumination. The design's commitment to functionality doesn't compromise its aesthetics, as the clear lens blends seamlessly with the overall design, ensuring that the beauty of the teardrop lantern head is enhanced rather than concealed.
Whether it's casting a warm glow on a cosy patio or guiding the way along a garden path, the clear lens ensures that every space is bathed in the right amount of light. It's this attention to both form and function that sets Harte Outdoor Lighting's design apart, making it a truly versatile and indispensable addition to any outdoor setting. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of Harte Outdoor Lighting's new design is its versatility. This outdoor wall light is not confined by style or setting – it seamlessly blends into diverse surroundings, be it a charming cottage garden, a minimalist modern courtyard, or a historic estate. It's this adaptability that makes it a valuable asset to any design project, allowing designers and homeowners alike to tap into its timeless charm.

Back in 2014, AIA Portland hosted the Stitch Design Competition at the Center for Architecture. The challenge was to design a solution for capping the section of I-405 highway between SW 13th and 14th near the Portland Art Museum, the central Multnomah County Library branch and Providence Park. Always up for a challenge, we teamed up with a couple of friends from a Bay Area architecture firm along with a local designer and presented our idea for this unique area of the city. Essentially, as we envisioned it, a park would rise in the north, and create a covered space for Portlanders to get away from the rain. An open space above this area would offer an ideal location for gatherings, and the entire design would be easily connected so that visitors and locals alike could easily navigate from one end to the other. Overall, the design, which would naturally intertwine with the existing highway and buildings, was aimed to provide “an adaptable, engaging, connecting space available for a variety of purposes and users, whether they happen upon it or intentionally arrive.”
The city of Portland never built this idea out in the real world, but we loved our proposed design just the same. Therefore, when we came across the Przelomy Centre in Poland, we were excited to see such a unique, yet similar design come to life. From the Public Space website, the project is described: “The south-western edge of the square, which is curved, also rises above street level in order to protect the space from traffic noise from the motorway running along that side. The two sloping edges gently converge from diagonally opposite points to meet near the centre of the square, which is now sheltered despite the gaps in its urban facades. A downwards-slanting ramp set at an angle to the gradient of the square is located in the central dip giving access to the museum. This central zone, at ground level, respects the diagonal route taken by most pedestrians and cyclists when crossing the square before it was renovated. The pre-existing trees on the north-western quarter just in front of the Philharmonic Hall were also conserved and, in the opposite quarter the Angel of Freedom still stands.”
While the Portland design solution for capping a section of I-405 and the Przelomy design for the heart of Solidarity Square in Szcecin, Poland are remarkably different, their structural and aesthetic elements are strikingly similar. To us it’s exciting to see such a uniquely contrasting part of the world utilize a design that is functional, beautiful and meaningful all at once.


Jubilee Reserve Concept Masterplan and Building Design
The Town of Bassendean engaged Tredwell Management to develop the Jubilee Reserve Master Plan, with the aim to develop a high level concept master plan for Jubilee Reserve, maximising sustainable reserve usage and providing an accessible, multipurpose facility. The concept master plan has been delivered with a detailed building design of the multipurpose facility with an opinion of probable costs.
Jubilee Reserve is a large 12.75-hectare District Sports Reserve which comprises of 11-hectares of grass spaces marked into six separate fields for junior and senior sports. The Reserve also contains two areas of remnant vegetation.
The development of the Jubilee Reserve Master Plan included a comprehensive review of background information and strategic documents to align with the wider strategic objectives at federal, state and local levels.
The consultation approach gathered specific information to contribute towards the Master Plan’s development from key stakeholders such as site user groups/clubs, Council Staff and Elected Members and the broader community.
The general principles and approaches followed in the development of the Jubilee Reserve Master Plan concept design included ensuring that the site caters to its defined hierarchical catchment area, that the site and its facilities are accessible to all, it is visible and safe and that the site provides a flexible design which allows for the co-location of users and service integration that encourages social connectivity and adaptation.
Tredwell, in partnership with Donovan Payne
Architects (DPA) developed three concept plan design options for Jubilee Reserve. All options include high quality new and updated features.


2.6 Piped Culvert
The piped culvert is one of the few cases where synthetic material is introduced into upland pathwork. They are only used where traditional drainage techniques are not possible, mainly when a path crosses soft ground, particularly deep peat, and it is impractical to build cross-drains. Large piped culverts are also required to cope with streams where covered drains are needed, and there is no suitable material for stone culverts. Stone facing, or headwalls, help to hide the plastic pipe.
The piped culvert serves the same function as a crossdrain, or stone culvert - to channel water from one side of the path to the other, generally from drainage ditches installed to protect the path. This situation commonly occurs when the path is traversing wet hillsides or stretches of poorly drained ground. The culvert does not catch water draining down the path; a continuous walking surface is provided over the top.
Bill of Quantities (example)
Construct a piped culvert under the aggregate path, using 300mm diam. twin-walled black pipe bedded on 100mm depth of gravel material. Compact backfill material to 300mm minimum depth. Use local weathered stone to build headwalls, and landscape to hide exposed pipe ends. Allow approximately 10m of ditching.
POSITIONING OF THE PIPED CULVERT
The assessment for positioning piped culverts is largely the same as for stone culverts and cross-drains. When installed with a new path over soft ground, the path alignment can affect location and frequency. To reduce the visual impact of too many piped culverts design the path to reduce the need for water to cross it. Avoid using piped culverts on steeper gradients, where they block quickly and are prone to becoming exposed.
Positions to consider include:
- at the best place for a ditched waterflow to cross under the path, often the lowest point
- where water crosses the path, from a small stream, spring or mossy flush
- at the best place for water to be dispersed away from the path
ComponentsThe piped culvert consists of:
- synthetic pipe laid in excavated trench
- bedding material in base of trench to hold the pipe in position and level
- backfill material over the pipe to protect it from pressure of path use; also provides a compacted base for path construction
- headwalls around exposed pipe ends, comprising base stone, two side walls supporting one top stone, and splash stones at both ends
With careful turfing, headwalls hide the existence of the synthetic pipe, minimising the visual impact in the landscape. Headwalls also serve to retain the backfilled trench and stabilise the path edge. These are weak points of the feature. Without protection they may erode and collapse with path use.
The inflow and outflow to the pipe are also weak points, particularly if there is a steep drop to or from the culvert in soft ground. Without large splash plates they become undermined and eroded by pressure of reduce the depth and fall required to flow into the pipe under the path. The outflow ditch will also need careful alignment to ensure dispersal away from the path edge.
These will depend on the situation in which the piped culvert is being used, and the size of pipe required.
- the culvert will normally be straight across the path, but may need angling to allow for the fall in the pipe, and the alignment and fall of the inflow and outflow ditches
- the drainage fall of the pipe should be at least 5° so that water will flow easily and reduce the amount of silting
- the pipe diameter depends on the volume of water - the size most suited to an upland landscape is 225mm - as this is may quickly block with debris a minimum of 300mm is preferable
- bedding material should be approximately 100mm depth to provide a level base and retain the pipe alignment
- backfill material should be compacted to a depth of at least 300mm, to protect the pipe from pressure of path use, and exposure through path damage; it also provides a firm base for the path surfacing
- the trench and bedded pipe should extend at least 300mm each side of the path width
- headwall dimensions will depend on the pipe size, but the outer edge should extend in front of the pipe by at least 150mm, to hide the pipe; and the top and side stones should retain the trench backfill and path edge, and fully enclose the pipe extending outside the path width
- there should be at least 100mm of backfill or bedding material between the inside faces of headwall stones and the pipe
- the base stone should extend under the pipe and bedding material by at least 150mm; and in front of the pipe by approximately 300mm to provide a splash plate on the outflow side, and splash plate base on the inflow
- the top stone surface should be lower than the finished path surface, and allow turfing over to match adjoining path edge landscaping
The most common pipe used is black polypropylene, which has less visual impact. It can be easily cut to the length required, and for easy transport. Alternatives such as concrete and clay are available but will be heavy to transport to remote sites.
|225, 300 or 450mm||Black||Single walled flexible pipe||30m coils|
|225, 300 or 450mm||Black||Twin walled rigid pipe||6m length|
Local, weathered stone for the headwall should be found within reach of the path. Points to note when selecting stone:
- the base stone should be at least 200mm deep; wide and level enough to support the side stones, if possible; long enough to serve as the splash plate
- the side stones should be large and deep enough to sit on the base stone, or be set in each side of it, and support the top stone above the pipe
- the top stone should be wide enough to span the side stones; and not extend above the path surface level
- top and side stone should be long or deep enough to hide the exposed pipe and retain the trench and path edge
Bedding material should be gravel, or small aggregate, won from borrow pits or stream beds within close reach of the path.
Backfill material must compact well; trench excavated material should be suitable, unless it is peat when material should be won from borrow pits or stream deposits.
Method of Construction
Excavate a trench.
- dig the trench long and wide enough for the required pipe length, diameter and bedding surround; and deep enough for bedding material, pipe diameter and compacted backfill below the path surface
- the angle, and base of the trench must provide the required fall for the pipe
- if the path is on deep peat, and floated on geotextile, the matting and geogrid are taken into the trench to line it; for fitting, and ease of laying, the geotextile should be cut and overlapped across the full trench width
Position the pipe
- cut or trim the pipe to the exact length required
- compact and level the bedding material in the trench base working up from the outflow end to maintain the required draining fall
- position the pipe and align correctly, adjusting the drain fall, if necessary
- pack the sides of the pipe using bedding material topped with compacted backfill
- taking care not to move or damage the pipe with any large or sharp stone, backfill the trench across the path width, compacting in at least two layers, to the required level
- construct the headwalls prior to final compaction
Construct the headwalls
- set in the base stone to extend under the pipe bedding and the required length out from the pipe, making sure it is level if used to support the side stone
- set the side stones firmly on the base stone, or at each side, and set back to retain the trench and enclose the pipe, leaving the required margin around it, and providing level top surfaces for the top stone
- set additional side stones, if needed to achieve the required height, and to provide solid and stable side walls
- position the top stone to span the side stones, set back to retain the trench or path edge and enclose the pipe, leaving the required margin above it, and the top surface to the required level.
- wedge, pin and pack all stonework firmly before completing the backfill, with gaps packed tightly with smaller stone, to prevent any movement
- set splash plate stones, as required, with the surface level below the base stone at the outflow, above the base stone at the inflow
Complete the aggregate path over the backfill base to tie in with the adjoining surface.
Complete the inflow and outflow ditching, connecting to drainage ditches as required. Ensure the required draining fall is maintained to collect and disperse the waterflow.
Restore all areas damaged during construction. The path edges and the area above the headwall should be carefully landscaped using turf and spoil, won from ditching and excavations. Turfing over the top stone must be stable and form a containing edge to the path. Lay turf up to the side stones to minimise the impact of the pipe and stonework, ensuring the feature is as natural and unobtrusive as possible.
Key points to watch out for:
- use the correct diameter of pipe for the volume of water
- maintain the pipe and ditch run - ensure that water will flow through the pipe
- set in headwall base stones and splash plates firmly - prevent undermining by waterflow pressure
- make sure the headwall protects the trench and path edge - prevent path edge collapse over the pipe
- set the pipe at least 300mm below the path surface - if not it will become exposed with use
Larger piped culverts are needed when there is no suitable material for stone culverts, and covered drains are essential for the nature of path use. They are also required to channel streams with high flows. Where large pipes are used, substantially wider and higher revetted headwalls, with several courses of stone, will be necessary.
Another variation for high volumes of water, is to use two pipes side by side with a wider headwall. Two pipes are harder to disguise than one.
Where no block stone is available on site to construct a stone-faced culvert headwall, an alternative is to use geotextile grid and large turves to construct a reinforced turf bank. This is built using alternative layers of strong turf and geotextile grid, build up around the mouth of the culvert pipe. Build the bank so that it shapes back, with a batter of 30°- 45°, and use large turves to prevent movement. This solution will not be as solid as a stone headwall, but is preferable to an unsupported and uncovered culvert end.
Piped culverts are very prone to becoming blocked. Routine clearing after long or high periods of rain or after snow melt is essential:
- carefully clear out debris and silt from the pipe; drain rods or long handled tools will be required for this
- clear out debris and silt from out and inflowing ditches
- check stability of headwalls; re-pack stonework where there is any movement or gaps
- check landscaping around the headwall and path edge, stabilise and re-instate as required
- re-pack surfacing over the culvert, and backfill over pipe if there is any settling, compaction or erosion
- cleared silt or gravel can be re-used in packing and re-surfacing; any spare material should be carefully hidden on site.
- the appropriateness of piped culverts in the landscape must be considered - it is difficult to hide the pipe completely - use an alternative technique, such as cross-drains or stone culverts
- surplus spoil from excavations should be used for landscaping, in-filling borrow pits or discretely hidden on site
- any off-cuts or excess pipe must be removed from the site and disposed of properly
HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARDS
- be careful when cutting pipe, use sharp tools - blunt ones may lead to excessive force being used and an accident
- take care when working in the trench of a culvert - it may become wet and slippery under foot
- make sure the pipe is well hidden and the path edge and headwall are stable.
- do not under estimate the amount of water to be channelled in the wettest conditions. It is better to choose a larger capacity pipe than one that may be too small.

South to Christian
SRDC worked with the City of Philadelphia and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to design and build a trail segment along the east bank of the Schuylkill from South Street to the vicinity of Christian Street. This project extends the popular Schuylkill River Trail by an additional 1,400 feet, closing part of the gap between the Boardwalk and Grays Ferry Crescent. The north end of this trail segment ties to the southern end of the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk and the stair tower to the South Street Bridge. CHOP built a stair tower and bridge to connect the South to Christian trail segment to the elevated public plaza around its facility at South Street and Schuylkill Avenue.
We are proud to announce that this project received the Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence in 2019! Learn more about the award here.


Sometimes, size does not matter. It should not always be the factor to hinder your designing ideas. Have a backyard but no idea what to do with it? No worries. When there is a will, there is a way. Despite a limited area (and perhaps also budget), there are small backyard design ideas.
For a better home living, check out these five (5) ideas that can beautify your small backyard:
Diagonally-set Paving Stones for Your Small Backyard
Sometimes, having a small backyard can feel stuffy if it is not maintained. To make it look (and feel) larger than it is, this is the trick. By putting the paving stones in a diagonal position, no more disheveled looks on your small backyard.
To support this small backyard design idea, avoid planting too many big trees. Place some smaller plants with a considerable gap between one another.

A Mini-shed for Your Gardening Tools
Your small backyard still needs to be tended regularly. Instead of stuffing your gardening tools in your car garage, build a mini shed for them. The floor-to-ceiling shelving can be squeezed back against the wall.
With this idea, you gain plenty of benefits. Your gardening tools are easier to reach. Your small backyard is well-tended. There is also enough space left.

Small Backyard Design Ideas Levels Rule
Besides diagonally-set paving stones, creating levels also improve your small backyard design. These levels can make your backyard look more spacious and cozier. Use the right materials, and it will also look fancy and stylish.
With this trick, terraced “outdoor rooms” are created. If you prefer more organic materials, use raised planter beds instead. From the top of the levels, you can have a picnic at home.

Racks or Shelves for Smaller Pot Plants and Hanging Plants
So, you have a lot of plants you would like to grow in your backyard. Since the backyard is small, you have to improvise. This is the strategy many people use for their apartment balcony. That way, they can still have plants without overcrowding the space.
Prepare some racks and shelves for smaller pot plants or hanging plant. Put them on the side of the small backyard. If possible, you can also hang some of the plants on the wall.

Backyard Design with Add Bold, Bright Colours
This trick is common in-home designing. If you want your bedroom to look bigger, decorate it with bold, bright colours. Paint the walls white or other light shades instead of dark ones.
The same thing goes for small backyard design ideas. The front of the small landscape should be the first to be splashed with bold, bright colours. This part always catches the attention first. You have to make the right impression.
The paving stones should also be light-tone. To vary the shades of green around you, add some flower plants with bold, bright colours too for example orchids or roses.

It is now and again said that each nursery ought to have a passage. However,Garden Curves – A High priority Component For Any Nursery Configuration Articles while this may not be completely evident, it’s surely a fact that nursery curves can have a section to play in many nursery plans. Garden curves come in many shapes, sizes, plans and materials thus subsequently they can likewise include a wide range of purposes inside a nursery.
Utilizations of Nursery Curves Inside a Nursery Plan
One of the most widely recognized utilizations of curves inside a nursery is as an entry. This can be an entry to the actual nursery, or frequently curves can be used to make doors between various region of a nursery. Utilizing the curves an entryways between open air rooms makes a feeling of moderate acknowledgment and a feeling of excursion inside the nursery. On a comparative subject, they can make a feeling of interest to a nursery guest. Curves go about as an attract to individuals, drawing individuals towards the curve to see what lies past.
Garden curves give an upward component inside a nursery configuration, giving a place of separation on the off chance that most parts of the plan are in the flat plane. Furthermore, they give moment level inside a nursery. In spite of the fact that planting can eventually give level, except if mature (and in this way exorbitant) plants are brought into another nursery, it will be various years before those plants can give the level that a curve can give.
When set fittingly, garden curves can be utilized to approach a view inside the nursery – for instance outlining a point of convergence, for example, a sculpture or water highlight. Likewise, garden curves can be utilized to approach a far off view or vista.
Contemplations While Acquainting a Curve with the Nursery
As well as being functional, helpful how totill a garden and alluring inside a nursery, curves are likewise one of the most straightforward highlights to raise. Notwithstanding, in spite of the fact that they might be not difficult to raise, some thought should be given to the kind, style and size of curve to be utilized – some unacceptable curve in some unacceptable spot can adversely affect upon the equilibrium of the entire nursery plan. So what are the fundamental plan contemplations?
The scale and size of the curve should be with regards to the nursery and environmental elements. For instance, an immense, gold plated, exceptionally resplendent curve would be thoroughly awkward in an unassuming rural back garden, while on the other hand a 1m wide wooden nursery curve would be lost and irrelevant inside the tremendous grounds of a masterful home.
2. Solidarity of Plan and Materials
The style and material of the curve should be with regards to the nursery and climate. Thus, in the event that you are planning and building a cabin garden, an exceptionally contemporary glass and metal construction would look crazy. Essentially, in the event that you are building a cutting edge, moderate nursery, you wouldn’t need a customary style wooden entrance.
As well as plan contemplations, you want to consider what you will involve the curve for – not least, will you be involving it as a help for climbing plants? On the off chance that you are, contingent upon the plants to be developed, the curve should be adequately steady and powerful to endure the heaviness of plants as large plants with bunches of development can be shockingly weighty and placed critical tensions on the curve underneath.


European Golf Design is undertaking a major renovation project for Evian Resort. Created in 1904 and steeped in history, the Evian Masters Golf Club sits amongst stunning grounds with unique views over Lake Geneva and the French Alps.
The golf course plays host each year to the Evian Masters on the Ladies European Tour and LPGA, and as one of the most prominent events on the Tour attracts the top women golfers from around the world.
From 2013, the event will be renamed ‘The Evian’ and will be presented as the fifth Major tournament in women’s golf.
The majority of the current routing will remain in place with all greens, tees, bunkers and water features remodeled and upgraded. Holes 5, 15, 16 & 17 have been redesigned to introduce more drama and spectator viewing areas.
The redesign work will include improving the quality and challenges of the golf course not just for the Evian Masters but also for the Evian Resort guests. Incorporated into the design will be the Evian Masters brand identities, rock and wood as well as their trademark “pink” which will be used in planting and signage, at the same time as retaining the organic approach to management of the golf course.
The Masterplan has been approved by Evian Resort and the LPGA, and detailed design is currently underway, to be completed by the end of August. There will be two periods of construction – the first will commence in November this year through to April 2012, with the second period starting in October 2012 and completing in April 2013, ready for ‘The Evian’ that September.
Working with European Golf Design, Steve Smyers will be the design consultant on behalf of the LPGA.
European Golf Design’s Dave Sampson said: “We are extremely excited to be asked to work on such a prestigious project, and are looking forward to the challenge of turning this already distinguished golf course into one worthy of staging a Major golf tournament.”

Ayuin Property Development had just finished phase one of a new development in Sandringham. The second stage of the development was to build another high end apartment block on the adjacent Block. To give the residents of the initial apartments something to look at other than a building site they erected a massive wooden hoarding and got Urban Enhancement to come in and add a few layers of paint.
The artwork captures the colours and shapes of local indigenous flora, which adds a lovely background to the planting done in the lush green communal garden.
The work is massive and was done in coloured stages. It took two of our artists five days to complete painting the artwork.


These contemporary garden arches are handmade by award winning designer and blacksmith Alex Moore: http://www.mooredesigns.co.uk/garden-arches/. Ideal for positioning over a garden pathway, perhaps to form a tunnel. Constructed from steel we think they would look at home in a traditional garden as well as contemporary, with plants growing up them or left naked!
Here’s what they have to say at Moore Designs:
“Graceful and sturdy, our simple garden arch designs are handmade by us in extra thick steel. Their unfussy styles complement any style of garden and are strong enough to support even the largest climbing plant. Both designs are beautiful as well as functional, allowing you to enjoy their sweeping shapes even during the winter months.
Choose from two different finishes for your arch, a protective galvanised, or rustic oxidised steel. Both finishes are wonderfully plant-friendly. Their rough surfaces allow plants to grip easily and their colours blend beautifully with nature’s extensive palette. There’s no time consuming maintenance with our arches either, after all gardening is hard enough as it is. Both arches can be made with plates at the base if they are to be used as flower or florist arches indoors.”


Meet the Team
Our design team are a wonderful melting pot of ideas, creativity and hard work. We realised that these days, when we are getting out and about much less, it would be a great idea to briefly profile each of the team to share something more about them. Meet Eike our Head of Design at CGLA
German born Landscape Architect with over 20 years of international experience on some of the worlds most prestigious developments. Graduating from the University of Greenwich with a Batchelor of Arts and Diploma in Landscape Architecture along with a Master of Science in Construction Project Management, Eike was previously Managing Partner of the world-renowned Martha Schwartz Partners before joining CGLA in 2018 to lead the design team. Over the last two years Eike has also been involved with the University of Westminster teaching conceptual design to Environmental Architectural students.
Eike is involved in driving the design direction of all projects CGLA undertakes. Guiding, directing, and mentoring the design team to be at the forefront of design creativity. Taking projects through from concept design, planning to construction detailing, imparting his many years of industry experience in residential developments, hotels and resorts, commercial and public realm developments all over the world.
Describe your style
I don’t have a particular style, nor do I subscribe to the notion of needing to be stylistic. I feel that having a particular style already predetermines the aesthetic outcome of any given project at the risk of ignoring and not responding to the unique characteristics that are intrinsic in every site.
The design aesthetic for any project is driven by a multitude of unique driving factors. Whether its contextual in nature, cultural or historical for example, all can be powerful influencers in informing a design aesthetic. I try to ensure that our designs, wherever possible illicit emotional responses and challenge perceptions of what constitutes a landscape, although one thing my experience has taught me is that it is important to know what to do, but essential to know what not to do.
I view plants more as three-dimensional, architectural elements. I focus heavily on architectural form, structure, and contrasts when it comes to planting; the more robust and sculptural, the better. It is essential that the planting matches the architectural quality of the spaces we design. Whether manipulating scale, creating framing devices or focal points the planting is just one of a sum of parts that needs to strike a harmonious balance with the rest of the design. It should be viewed as one holistic and artistic composition.
What has been your biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge was to change the way my team perceived and approached design. Challenging their perceptions on what a landscape actually is and encouraging them not to bend to conventional norms. There is a lot of fluidity now between art, architecture, and landscape architecture – a lot more cross-pollination in the disciplines and the blending of art and landscape design is something I continuously instill into our design process.
How does your background inspire your creativity?
I was always artistic even as a young child, always drawing or sketching. My earliest inspiration that I can recall came from studying impressionist artists particularly Cezanne but also artists such as Mondrian and Kandinsky. I still to this day look to them for inspiration. I think my true design inspiration initially came from university looking at case studies and examples of work from some of the great international designers such as Peter Walker, Martha Schwartz and Zaha Hadid to name a few. This was to be further reinforced much later in my career when I was Managing Partner at Martha Schwartz Partners which was a turning point and completely transformed the way I approach design.
Proudest moment at CGLA?
There have been so many moments at CGLA to be proud of, so many achievments in a very short space of time. The biggest challenge but the most rewarding that I am most proud of is being able to build a tight knit team of dedicated and comitted international designers from a wide range of disciplines. Being part of an amazing team dynamic where the designers are thriving and growing in confidence and being encouraged to push their boundaries. We are still evolving, still growing and we are only just scratching the surface of what we are capable of.
Eike heads up the design team at CGLA who are an award winning team of Garden Designers, Landscape Architects, Landscapers and Garden Maintenance Operatives working in Buckinghamshire, London and the South East, as well as on prestigious design projects across the UK and abroad. We are currently working in Oman, Jersey and France, and welcome enquires for design, landscaping or garden maintenance. Contact us here


While it’s easy to be distracted by the grandeur and beauty of the Sunken Garden at the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul, there’s another green space nearby worth your attention. The Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden opened to the public in 1979 and was last renovated in 2013. Its chisen-kaiyu (strolling pond) design was a gift to St. Paul from its sister city of Nagasaki. Established in 1955, theirs was the first Sister City relationship between a U.S. and Asian city.
Landscape architect Masami Matsuda followed strict design principles of Japanese gardening when planning Ordway’s serene and artful layout, but he also made sure to incorporate hardy pines and shrubs that could handle Minnesota’s no-joke winters. More than 400 tons of rocks, many of them sourced at a quarry in Apple Valley, strategically punctuate the gardenscape. There are stone lanterns, too, just as you might find in a Buddhist temple. Three of these tōrō were once exhibited at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.
A traditional sukiya-style tea house fashioned from native cedar was added to the garden in 1991. Each spring, Como Park teams up with the Chado Urasenke Tankokai Minnesota Association to host chanoyu here. The traditional Japanese tea ceremonies have already sold out for the 2019 season, but check back in March of 2020 to get on next year’s list.
Ordway is open from April through November, weather permitting. It’s one of our favorite places in the Twin Cities to steal a moment of quiet reflection, but we’re also looking forward to Como Park’s annual Japanese Obon Festival, slated for Sunday, August 18 this year. The daylong event is co-hosted by the Japan America Society of Minnesota and Saint Paul Nagasaki Sister City Committee. On the docket: taiko drumming, bamboo fluting, martial arts, origami, anime, calligraphy, teppanyaki, bonsai, ikebana, and a beautiful display of floating paper lanterns.

One of the standout moments in the space is the cast concrete fireplace, which is considered to be one of Wright’s greatest two-dimensional works of art. Depicting an abstract landscape, the detail is spectacular, yet leaves much to the imagination while incorporating a bit of the hollyhock flower. Wright completed the fireplace with a skylight above and a moat in front that was designed to hold a pool of water. This was originally part of an elaborate water scheme to run throughout the property, though it was never completed. Regardless, the fireplace thus incorporated the four elements of nature: light, earth, fire, and water—making it a brilliant vision, even if it never ended up the way it was fully imagined.
