As you’ve read previously, Wes has completed two dry lay stone bench projects in our yard. In August, he started working on a third, just off our patio, and we’re finally getting around to posting more photos of the whole process. The photo above shows the dry lay bench when the yard-facing end was complete. Wes notes that if you’re building your own dry lay stone bench, it’s important to consider that each layer of the bench should be completed at the same time for structural strength.
This is a photo from our patio vantage point, looking at the completed dry lay bench, just before Wes poured the concrete cap. Wes was very careful to maintain the angle of the bench, taking into consideration which way we want the water to run off the bench (away from our home and patio). During the building of the bench and pouring of the concrete cap, our patio stone was covered to prevent any staining or damage.
In preparation for pouring the concrete cap, Wes utilized some old wire from a sign in substitution for rebar and to reinforce the strength of the concrete cap. We debated whether we actually wanted to pour a cap on this bench, or just leave it as an entirely natural lay, and in the end we opted to pour a cap for a couple of reasons: 1. So the look of our patio would be symmetrical, and 2. A poured concrete cap = extra outdoor seating for entertaining in the summer months!
It required a lot of patience to build the form for the concrete. Wes ensured the run off angles were accurate by using a level every step of the way. He also used string to pull in the plexiglass side of the form to create the curved side of the concrete cap. He made several adjustments along the way as setting up the form was tedious work.
As you can see from the photo above, Wes used plexiglass for the one side of the form as we wanted to create a curved side that runs parallel with the natural shape of our patio stone. If you’re planning a project like this on your own property, we’d recommend ensuring that for your concrete cap you use the right ratio of water to cement. Add the water slowly to your mix. After the concrete cap was poured, Wes used a broom to create the brushed effect in the centre of the concrete, and used an edger to create the finished border.
Stay tuned for more pics of the finished product and our patio!


Has been a long time in planning this garden, I think I had about 5 different ideas and just wasn’t sure what I wanted.
I went with Iceburg Standard Roses, Little Ruby Alternanthera Dentata, Federation Daisy Argytanthemum Frutescens, Eternal Fragrance Daphne X Transatlantica, with a Liriope border.
I am so happy with the end result. Can’t wait to see it all in full bloom. #happygardenheart#creatingbeauty#summerdays

Full sawn paving is the most expensive of all basalt paving types, but also as close as possible to the ideal. The full sawn basalt paving stone has even, polished edges and a rough top. Bars are distinguished by a flat surface and look like classic paving plate.
Split pavement (or full-split) is a classic that has come down to us through the centuries. The full-split stone blocks have the form of a cube from basalt, but with not absolutely equal sides. Full-split pavement stacked with different patterns. “Fan”, “wave”, “chess” – this is only few of the options for laying on tracks and platforms with a gap between the bars of about 1-2 centimeters.
Basalt plates are a status way to lay tracks and squares, as well as a beautiful facade material.
We offer basalt plates “rock”, rubble stone, basalt washers, basalt “crust”, basalt steps and bordures.


Stone walls can help shape the look and feel of your landscaping efforts (literally). There’s something about the natural aesthetic that rocks exude that makes them a fan favorite for landscaping enthusiasts and homeowners alike. From accent boulder pieces and pavers, to rock gardens and more — stone can be the perfect way to frame your yard.
Walls are no different and can be both functional and aesthetic. There are essentially two schools of thought when it comes to stone walls.
Dry laid (dry stone or dry stacking)
The distinction between these two constructions is in between the lines. Dry laid rock walls are simply stacked on top of one another while mortared rock walls use, well, mortar. What’s the big difference? Well, the size and shape of the rocks might determine which option is more feasible — so your choice in rock type has a big impact on the finished product. So, while you’re making a plan and possibly drawing up some designs — you’ll need to get to know your rocks and which of these two styles works best for what you need.
Dry Laid Rocks
Typically, these are much easier to maintain. That’s because any real damage to the wall can be easily managed by either replacing the rocks or rebuilding the damaged section. That being said, you are limited here on which rock types work. Because you’re stacking them on top of one another without any adhesive support, you’ll need to select rocks that have flat surfaces (squares or rectangular shapes). Flat, round stones can be done but it’s much more difficult than it’s usually worth. Dry laid rock walls are typically cheaper than their mortared counterpart because you’ll be using fewer materials. They also can’t be built extremely high (usually around 4 feet max) — so they aren’t necessarily great options for securing your property or an area.
There’s typically a bit more work in mortar wall construction because they require footing that goes several inches down into the ground. This helps keep the wall stable and secure. That being said, mortar helps keep everything solid, which means these walls are a bit stronger and more stable than dry-laid walls. You also have a bit more wiggle room when deciding what type of rocks you want to use and are not limited to one shape or size. You’re also able to build mortared walls as high as necessary, making their application a bit more diverse.
Which Type of Rock Should You Use?
Well, there’s really not one solution here. There are a handful of popular stone types that can be used to create both dry laid and mortared walls.
- Concrete blocks
Deciding between these different types of stone is really up to your current or future landscape design, personal preference, and budget. Some have more diverse color and size options while others are a bit more limited. Custom rock and stonework is a great way to make your home stand out.
Granite has been a popular one for a while now. While you can find granite substitutes or variations in a wide variety of colors, true granite is white, pink, or gray. Shades can vary greatly, but for the most part, those are the colors you’ll be looking at. These rocks are fairly large and look great when dry stacked.
Sandstone is a great option for those that need a specific shape. It’s super easy to shape and cut, so it works great for both dry laid and mortar walls. Some homeowners use sandstone cutouts as veneers on top of their concrete walls.
Limestone is similar to sandstone in that it can be shaped and cut to fit your needs. Colors typically range from white and tan to gray. Great for both dry laid and mortar walls, along with veneers as well.
Fieldstone has a slightly different shape than the other options we’ve described. It’s usually a bit more rounded. This rock type is usually locally sourced, so availability may be limited but the price will be less than imported stone types. There’s a huge variation in size, you can find massive boulders or tiny stones. Due to the shape, these work best for mortar applications.
The last option we mentioned is concrete, or more specifically, man-made concrete. These work great but are a bit less “natural” looking because they are, well, shaped by humans. That being said they are great for a symmetrical and uniform look.
Speaking of specific looks, there are some tips and tricks that can help you decide what shape and size of the rock wall you want for your property. If you’re looking for a slightly more old-fashioned look, you can use reclaimed stone or find rocks that look weathered. If you want a stone wall that exudes strength, use larger rocks. This helps anchor your wall and yard while creating the illusion that your property was built into a natural foundation. For a slightly more unique look, don’t be afraid to mix and match your rock types. This can be a great way to make your walls stand out and also create incredible textures.

Preserving Eau Claire’s Olympic Arch
CALGARY - When Eau Claire Plaza’s Olympic Arch was created in 1987, it signified the feeling of excitement and renewal for Calgary, as we prepared to host the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. As 2021 comes to a close, the Olympic Arch is also a part of a renewed effort to reinvent Calgary’s downtown and reshape the Eau Claire neighbourhood.
The Olympic Arch will be featured prominently in the new design of Eau Claire Plaza, as it has for the past 33 years. The existing features of Eau Claire Plaza are being removed, including the Arch, so the ground level can be raised to a height that would protect against flooding, similar to the 2013 flood. The Olympic Arch will be safely preserved, placed in storage until it’s reinstalled close to its original location.
In addition to the Arch, The City will also restore and reintegrate the Eau Claire Lumber building into the in the new plaza design. The Lumber building will be repurposed to support programming and functionality of the plaza. The City also aims to use as many existing elements as possible to limit the amount of waste being sent to local landfills.
“Paving stone from the plaza have been salvaged and will be reused at parks around the city,” said Dennis Hoffart, Project Manager for the Eau Claire Plaza redesign. “Lumber from trees that were removed from the plaza will be used to construct architectural elements of the new design including benches and tables. Others have been used to restore flower beds on Princes Island Park and to improve fish habitat in the river system.”
A truly Calgarian arch
In 1987, Canada participated in the Olympic Arts Festival in advance of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, the first hosted in Canada. The mandate of the Olympic Charter includes that the architecture of the host country be showcased. Twenty architects from across the country were commissioned to design ceremonial Olympic Arches for the Olympic Games. The architects were chosen by an arts festival selection committee, assisted by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and the Alberta Architects Association. Five of the 20 architects were from Alberta, including Fredrick Valentine of Calgary. Valentine’s entry was chosen as one of three winning designs and became the ceremonial entrance to Prince’s Island Park, in Eau Claire Plaza.
“I can’t help but feel flattered,” said Valentine, now 82. “I’m certainly honored that the Arch is being restored and integrated into the new redesign of the public space. It’s a very thrilling thing to have happen at this time of my life.”
Valentine’s Olympic Arch design draws on the precedents of triumphal arches as “city gates.” The use of the post-and-beam structure and the attic shed roof are reminiscent of the simple pole barn and ranch gate structures which are scattered throughout Alberta. Valentine’s Olympic Arch design remained a permanent reminder of the games in Eau Claire for the last 33 years and has served as the gateway between downtown and Prince’s Island Park and the Bow River pathway system.
A new Plaza and space for Eau Claire
Another Eau Claire element that is getting a second life is the iconic windmill. The windmill was recently sold to a successful bidder and was removed from the plaza on August 11. The new owner plans to install the windmill in a new dinosaur adventure park next to the Royal Tyrell Museum. Eau Claire Plaza is being redesigned and rebuilt as part of the refresh of the Eau Claire area to create a better year-round public space and improve accessibility for all residents and visitors. Its new design will embrace everyday community gatherings in addition to spaces for hosting larger events and festivals. The new plaza is part of a larger program to redevelop the public spaces in the Eau Claire area and improve the flood resiliency of Calgary’s downtown. This includes construction of the Downtown Flood Barrier, Eau Claire Promenade, and Jaipur Bridge replacement. Once fully completed, the plaza will become an iconic gateway to the area and a vibrant destination that compliments the improvements occurring around it.
Construction of the Eau Claire Plaza is set to take approximately 2-3 years, with portions opening to the public as they’re completed. To learn more about Eau Claire Plaza and the Eau Claire Area Improvement Program, please visit calgary.ca/eauclaire.


Bergmann was tasked with renovating Philadelphia Mill's interior for the first time since the Mills Corporation built the Outlet Center in 1989. The intent of the improvements was to re-brand the Center with a timeless regional mall character. The modernized exterior entrance structures and landscape enhance the customers’ experience from arrival through to the interior. The new interior design projects a fresh, contemporary aesthetic providing an inviting and comfortable atmosphere to shop. The dated, ‘themed’ entries were replaced by a simpler physical gateway feature addressing both the scale of the large parking fields and the experience for pedestrian as they approach the entrances. Using durable finish materials throughout and the careful addition of landscaping, softseating, and lighting accents improves the appearance of the mall while providing the customer with an impression of a contemporary shopping experience – both inside and out.


Top 5 Myths on Garden Landscaping Debunked
The internet is flooded with information and ideas on professional landscaping. How do you know how much of this is true, and how much is plainly false information? The truth is, with so much of data floating around, separating the facts from the myths can be difficult. To help you out with this, with the help of professional landscapers, Landscaping Sydney, we have compiled a list of the top five myths about garden landscaping, and the truth about them.
The Myth: Watering your garden in the evening helps conserve water.
The Truth: Many people believe that watering the garden after the sun goes down helps to conserve water and makes it go further in, and at the same time, it is important to ensure that you adhere to building standards and tolerances especially where water conservation is required, such as drought prone areas. The incorrect reason behind this myth is that people believe that watering the plants when the sun is out makes the water dry out faster and perhaps even before the roots have a fair chance to absorb the moisture. On the contrary, the truth is that watering the garden at night only ends up making the water remain on the lawn surface. This increases the growth of lawn fungus and bacteria.

BRIGHTON EAST residence
Whilst a challenging space to design, with varying angles and level changes, it is these exact elements that create the ingenuity and interest in our Brighton East project.
We removed the residential garage, but retained the rich redbrick wall, making way for our custom corten steel pergola. Incorporating our bespoke dining table, decking and blue-stone paving, this once small courtyard now screams entertaining space!
Whilst the angular hardscapes are complimented and softened by a stunning circular vista and tranquil water feature, a sleek, modern, and minimal colour palette, brings simplicity and calm. This allowed the multitude of textural offerings in the materials, finishes and planting schedule to create scope and interest around every corner!

Our Community Gardening group first came together in April to begin to design flower bed planting schemes for several areas that we will maintain in future. Pictured left are some of our initial thoughts on a design. We worked with a garden designer, Bruce Batten, who helped us put our ideas on paper to produce a proper design 'to scale'. This was a very enlightening process - especially learning to measure areas and calculate the number of plants needed, etc.
|Above: This is one of the areas we'll be planting in July using our 'sun ray' planting scheme.|
|Above: This is our vegetable planting area, which we haven't even begun to work on!|
|This photos is an attempt to show you the wider area our group is maintaining - basically any unplanted areas are our flower bed areas. The veg area isn't shown in this photo. It is beautiful surroundings to be working in.!|

How To Create A Beautiful Yard
Have you ever driven by a home and had to take a second or third look at their yard because of how well it was landscaped? It’s okay to admit you were envious when you couldn’t spot a single weed! Maybe you justified your jealously by saying you just don’t have the time to put in that effort with your own yard. We’re not saying that it doesn’t take a little time and patience, but you too can have that curb appeal by being efficient with your time. Here are some tips on weed and grub control that you can use anywhere from the landscaping to the garden:
Adjust the blade of your lawn mower. Moving the blade setting up one notch higher will create more shade for weed seeds which makes it more difficult for weeds to grow. After all, we want to make it as hard on them as possible when it comes to reproducing!
There’s an old saying about weed control that says, “Pull when wet; hoe when dry”. Try to keep this in mind because it still holds true today. It’s easier to effectively pull weeds (roots and all) when the soil is damp.
Using mulch to fill in the gaps between landscaping is one of the best weed control tactics. A few inches of mulch not only prevents weed germination and growth but also seals in moisture for the plants that you actually want to grow.
Sometimes, just pulling weeds won’t get the job done. This is when you might want to consider using a weed control. Herbicides kill weeds all the way down to their roots instead of only getting rid of the head of the weed which is what happens when pulling. Also, do a little research when deciding what type of control to use; it’ll vary depending on the area of land you’re working on.
One of the most important things to remember is that a beautiful landscape or garden isn’t going to happen overnight. Break up whatever area you may be tackling into small sections so it’s an adequate amount of land to manage at one time. Be realistic with your goals and slowly but surely, you’ll have the ultimate landscape.

Regardless of your home’s architectural style or your personal tastes, you want your home to appear connected to the surrounding space. By taking cues from the architecture of your home, its materials and the surroundings, your house can blend seamlessly with the landscape. That is not to say that it must be a literal interpretation of a historic landscaping style but you can add aspects of those styles that are adapted for you. Landscaping trends tend to overlap and merge more than architectural styles and, while garden styles may have originated in a specific location, they’ve migrated and can be readily adapted to any area. This series on different landscape styles will explore the following:
- are they formal, informal or a combination of both
- what is the overall sense and geometry
- what are the design elements and material types for both hardscape and plants
- what is the role of lawn
- what furniture and décor is typical
- what are the uses of form, line, color, and texture
- what is the role of complementing versus contrasting elements to create harmony and/or tension and interest
Photos from Houzz.com
Overall sense: The minimalist style is a streamlined aesthetic with sleek, sophisticated style that is distinguished by refined forms, pure materials and the achievement of balance. Typically, the focus is more on hardscape and structures than it is on plants. This style includes mid-century modern and works with a contemporary or ranch style home. It has its roots in the 1950s and ’60s but draws on the simplicity of Asian design principles. One of the main goals is to create contrast, however, it is important to do so selectively. Limit it to two or three areas and focus on one contrasting element for each area.
Geometry: Bold, linear lines with straight edges and ninety degree angles. Curved lines should be avoided.
Hardscape: Hardscaping has a restricted palette with limited material types. Paving is simple and clean with geometric shapes in repeated grid patterns. The materials of choice are concrete and wood decking used to create geometric patterns and straight lines. Gravel with rocks/ boulders is used in place of wood mulch. A feeling of enclosure is important and achieved with boundaries such as fences, blank walls and patio covers. Materials commonly used for fences, screens and walls include poured concrete, stucco, Ipe Brazilian hardwood, and steel sheet metals. Wood panels or fences should have horizontal versus vertical slats with hidden fence posts. Patio covers should emphasize geometric patterns and have an industrial appearance. Wire mesh and cable rail are also used.
Plants: Plantings are designed with order and a simplified, restricted palette. Plants are selected for architectural interest that have interesting form, line, and texture but minimal color, mostly in shades of green. Examples include spiky plants like ornamental grasses and yucca, rounded or columnar shapes like boxwood and evergreens, soft-textured weeping plants, succulents and anything with a strong visual punch. Use a single specimen of the architectural plant and a contrasting form around its base such as soft, fine textured plants. Plants should be planted in straight lines and grouped in odd numbers, preferably threes or fives. The spaces between pavers can be filled with gravel, rock, or grass. Enclosure can also be provided with the use of hedges.
Lawn: little to no lawn.
Furniture & Décor: Water features are formal, geometric shapes with simplistic materials. Furniture should be sleek, refined and made of sculpted metal, wood or plastic. Pops of bold color can be added with furniture cushions, planters or a painted wall. Containers should be selected for texture, color and be geometric in shape. Contrast the shape of the pot with that of the plant. Sculpture and spheres are commonly used. Mid-century modern gardens feature vintage furniture and decor.

Invited to exhibit at the RHS Tatton Flower Show, Sam Ovens wanted to design a landscape that challenges the way in which we think about outdoor space. Sam envisioned a multi-storey garden that used all the available area for planting, while still providing seating. He explains, “I wanted to come up with a solution to a common problem found in many small urban gardens where space is limited, and as a result, gardens end up almost completely paved over. This garden will make you appreciate the natural world: the sky, the breeze, seasonal change and wildlife.”
The garden, called "The Sky's the Limit", was a highlight at the RHS Tatton Flower Show. It attracted a lot of attention from the visitors, winning Sam Ovens the prestigious RHS Young Designer of the Year 2014 award.
Western Red Cedar was the easy choice, it was a dream to work with.
The design incorporates a bespoke deck that appears to float, allowing for virtually every inch of the garden to be planted. The wood deck allows visitors to relax, encapsulated by plants. The whole design relied on clean lines in order to exude a contemporary and minimalist feel. Therefore, choosing a stable wood species would be crucial for this design to work.
"If the wood started to bow or bend, the whole design would be ruined. I spent a lot of time testing different species of wood. I experimented with Oak, Chestnut, Birch, Pine and Western Red Cedar. After a week of weathering, everything apart from the Western Red Cedar started to distort, swell and dramatically change shape. For this reason, Western Red Cedar was the easy choice, it was a dream to work with. It allowed me to achieve the quality of finish I required."
Silva's Western Red Cedar is grown in coastal regions of British Columbia, Canada. The cold climate ensures slow-growth, which is what makes Western Red Cedar exceptionally stable and durable. Aesthetically we think no other wood comes close, with a warm palette of rich amber tones with interesting grain patterns.
Sam purchased the Western Red Cedar Cedardeck Clear deck boards in a trade pack. These packs are available periodically and come with a significant discount.
The garden succeeded in making visitors stop, think and consider new ways of using garden space. It received an excellent reception, drawing comments from all types of visitors at the RHS Tatton Flower Show 2014. Sam won a gold medal: Young Designer of the Year 2014.
"Following the show, the garden was donated to St Luke’s Hospice in Plymouth, where it will be used for recuperation and contemplation for both patients and their loved ones. It will serve as a tranquil and private space offering refuge during a stressful time in their lives."

The entries for the World Architecture Festival 2012 Awards have been short listed. The festival this year has moved to Singapore and it shows in the projects short listed for 2012 awards with many projects situated in Asia. This is especially true of the Landscape categories with only 2 of 9 projects in the short list for Landscape Projects – Completed designs – urban being situated outside the Asia-Pacific region. It is also interesting to see that no projects were short listed in the categories of Landscape Projects – Completed designs – rural and Future Projects – Landscape. Looking through the short lists for the architecture and urban planning categories there is a large number of Asia-Pacific projects whether this is due to the festival location in 2012 or that a large number of projects have been undertaken in the region due to the stronger economy in comparison with the rest of the world. Congratulations to all those short listed.

We reported on Singapore’s plan for Bishan Park back in late 2009 (‘Kallang River to reappear in Bishan Park‘) and the plan has now come to fruition with Singapore’s Prime Minister recently opening the park to the public. The design was undertaken by Atelier Dreiseitl
Mr Herbert Dreiseitl, Founder and Partner from Atelier Dreiseitl stated back in 2009.
“As a strong new impulse for the future, an infrastructure that can be appreciated and accessed by citizens which at the same time respects the environment in a sustainable manner also brings about a subtle change in behaviour and thinking and it is through this change that we can begin to create places which are vibrant, healthy and full of socio-cultural liveliness. Bishan Park has already the beginnings of this, and bringing the river and water element back to the people, will further enhance the place.”

The 2016 "International Architecture Awards" featured an all-Italian jury which chose the winners out of more than 370 projects submitted from all over the world, including some by very prominent names on the international architecture scene such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP., Foster + Partners, AECOM, C.F. Møller Architects, Pei Cobb Freed & Partners Architects LLP., Morphosis Architects, Toyo Ito & Associates, Vo Trong Nghia Architects, Haworth Tompkins, Richard Meier and Partners, Pininfarina, Christian de Portzamparc, and Safdie Architects, to mention only a few.
The awards, promoted by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, were presented to 132 new buildings built for different purposes, landscape architecture projects and urban planning projects from 43 different countries.
Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, president of The Chicago Athenaeum, noted that, in line with the theme of the 15th International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia,Reporting from the Front, the award-winning projects reveal a humanistic approach that is sensitive to the present and the future of urban development, apparent in both mega-projects and public housing and community services buildings: ingenious structures built using simple materials and unskilled labour, to bring disadvantaged communities good architecture at a low cost and with a low environmental impact.

WJ Cairns & Associates
Member of Intersphere Consulting Organization
Cairns were responsible for the route selection of the new Megget Road and siting and design of all new buildings (Reservoir Control Building, Outlet Tower, Stilling Pool, replacement farms, houses and steadings and other structures). Cairns had a particular role in advising on Dam siting in collaboration with consulting Engineer, Cuthbertson and the treatment of the dam slopes (highest earth dam in the UK, 180ft): in contouring, terracing and establishment of the grassland ecosphere of indigenous species. The Cairns design established appropriate woodlands, parks and recreation facilities for public access and enjoyment, whilst accommodating sheep farming, composing an entirely new but harmonious and natural landscape structure.
The project was accorded the highest nationally accredited combined design and environmental awards of any project constructed in Scotland during the period from 1970-2000.
Megget Reservoir, Selkirk, Scotland
FINANCIAL TIMES ARCHITECTURE AWARD
“The Financial Times Architecture at Work Award for 1986 has been given to the Megget Reservoir Control Building, near Selkirk, Scotland, and the assessors wish to include in the prize the white tower spillway that sits in the lake, the stilling pool, the dam itself and the whole composition of the giant landscape of the scheme.
The stone and steel entrance gates, the portal in the hillside that lead to the waterpipes to Edinburgh and the entrance to the Control Building are all consistently carried out in a well composed development and enlargement of the local dry stone wall vernacular. The Control Building is well below the surface of the dam which allows the dam to be the major element in the landscape and permits wildlife and plant life the same opportunity to colonise the valley as it had before”.
Cairns were commissioned by Lothian Regional Water Board to carry out an environmental impact assessment of the Megget Reservoir development scheme as well as the appointment as architects and landscape architects to work in association with Robert H Cuthbertson and Partners the Consulting Engineers in overall charge of the project.
Cairns in collaboration with the Engineers undertook the comprehensive dissection of the engineering components for the Works including the siting of the dam and the replacement St. Marys Loch to Tweedsmuir B-class road through the Megget Valley.
At the same time Cairns dissected the landscape and ecology of the Megget Valley and all elements of the existing rural land use and settlement. A rigorous process of reconstruction interposing engineering, landscape and elements was undertaken with the ultimate objective of complete integration of the reservoir and reconstructed sheep farming, land use and settlements.

We all need to have fine homes that can look attractive to other people. We try to develop some ideas that can be able to make it possible to bring this into reality. This calls for some actions like planting of flowers around our compound. We are therefore supposed to come up with the right kind of flowers which we can plant and make the place look beautiful. We can do this by getting the flowers which in our opinions are very beautiful. We can also decide to paint our homes with pictures that will to some extent give the place a natural look. The idea behind all this is to have the best natural homes around us.
The bonsai trees are common among the many people because of their size. The trees are small in size and are kept in the house by most of the people. The and friends gives the gifts to others regarding the bonsai trees. The the bonsai tree is a well-known example of a little tree.
This can also be enabled by having the trees around us. We can have both tiny and big trees around our homes depending on our specification and desire. Some people like the greenery view around them. people have to contradict ideas when it comes to the scale of the trees around their homes. There are those people that always like to have trees around them due to different reasons. These tiny trees significantly add to the beauty around our homes. We can be able to make this possible by making the small plantations at our homes in our home gardens. We can do this by preparing a nursery bed of our choice and having the right kind of seeds on them. The trees have a handful of benefits to us especially the tiny trees.
One of the merits of the tint trees is that they make our homesteads look nice all the time. This makes us have a lot of courage even when we welcome our friends and relatives at our homes and they want to walk around. Another benefit of the tiny trees is that the small trees can curb air pollution in the area. This is because they have the ability to use the air to their benefit. The tiny trees do not make the place around our homes untidy. The leaves of the tiny trees are young therefore do not drop like the big trees thereby reducing the effects making the place look unpleasant.
These tiny trees require little trees to be able to grow in the right way. By taking care of the tiny trees all the time makes the people busy all the time, therefore, making them be occupied. The small trees are the ones which eventually turns out to be the big trees which are admired by the people. The big trees also have a lot of advantages to the people and the surrounding in general.

Whatever way you look at it, many of the patios you see out there are boring! It is too easy to just accept the norm, and go with a safe patio installation that just looks like a typical patio, a dull lifeless exterior area of grey slabs or tiling. But it doesn’t have to be like this – pattern imprinted concrete is such a versatile material that you can happily create an exciting dynamic patio area that will inject some real style into your exterior, while retaining a head wearing finish that will last for years.
For a start, you could consider accessorising your patio. You could choose some tasteful, interesting furniture that goes beyond boring garden chairs – all you have to consider is that it needs to be waterproof and hardwearing. How about a warm, inviting bench? You can go beyond this too – how about a built in fire pit as a central focus point, or a built in BBQ? Flowers can also add a touch of beauty and class – pots full of flowers are cool, but take up valuable patio space, so it might be better to utilise overhanging wooden structures such as trestles or a pergola. Couple this with climbing plants and hanging baskets and you will have beauty and shade!
Next, you should consider going with a more interesting texture and colour scheme – why not go with a bright colour scheme that will really brighten up the surrounding area? staining and coloured finishes can provide a huge variety of options. You could also go with a polished finish, to create a really different effect. You could even use a clear finish, and embed coloured panels and other exciting design features inside the finish! Why not go for a patio resembling the BoHouse cafe floor?

A Japanese architectural group has been announced today as the firm that will work with the Art Gallery of New South Wales on its major expansion, known as the Sydney Modern project.
The Tokyo-based practice, SANAA, was selected by an international jury from a shortlist of five architects to work on the $450 million project for the landmark new building.
SANAA was founded 20 years ago in Tokyo by renowned architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. Their award-winning work includes Manhattan’s New Museum of Contemporary Art building and the Musée du Louvre-Lens in northern France.
In 2010 the duo was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, architecture’s highest honour.
Their winning concept for the AGNSW expansion is a series of light-filled pavilions designed to blend with the Botanic Gardens, the Domain and Sydney Harbour.
“The SANAA concept is at once subtle and spectacular in its design. It responds to and respects the extraordinary beauty of the competition site through a series of pavilions that reach out to [the surrounding areas],” says AGNSW director Michael Brand.
“The subtle profile of the pavilions complement and preserve the history of the existing gallery building, creating spaces that bring people together and foster a sense of community, imagination and openness.”
SANAA will partner with a local architectural firm to realise its final design for Sydney Modern.
Kazuyo Sejima is one of the most highly regarded architects in the world. She says she is thrilled to be working with the gallery on this important next step.
“I am very much looking forward to learning more about the history, collection and diverse environment to develop the design into one that is fitting to this beautiful landscape,” she says.
SANAA’s concept was selected unanimously by the international jury from a shortlist of five architects that included Australian firms Kerry Hill Architects and Sean Goodsell Architects and two other international firms.
Jury member Juhani Pallasmaa, a Finnish architect and professor, says the Sydney Modern Project jury was impressed by SANAA’s design, which subtly incorporates the various urban and landscape components of the site.
“The complex of pavilion-like units does not dominate the site, or attempt to project its own overwhelming architectural image. It creates a respectful, refined and balanced dialogue with the existing gallery building, as well as the larger park setting,” Professor Pallasmaa says.
The final concept will be developed over the next 12 months along with staff, relevant groups and the broader community.
It is hoped the Sydney Modern project will be completed by 2021 in time for the gallery’s 150th anniversary.


Short columns break up the freestanding wall that encircles this raised paver patio. Lights are mounted on the columns for an elegant touch.
Create eye-catching designs by combining VERSA-LOK Standard, Cobble and Accent units to form the random-patterned Mosaic Retaining Wall System. Attractive and durable, the Mosaic system uses a four-unit panel (10" x 24")—consisting of one Standard, one Cobble and two Accent units—giving each wall an interesting and visually arresting look and feel. Although they can create seemingly complex patterns, the simple four-unit Mosaic panels are just as easy to install as our Standard, Cobble or Accent retaining wall systems.

Start with a chat...
Ashleigh will get in touch to arrange a free telephone consultation and a visitation to carry out a site survey. We begin by getting an understanding of all your wants and needs before measuring up the space. The telephone consultation lasts approximately 20 minutes and costs you nothing.
...next, an initial proposal.
After the site survey, Ashleigh will put together a budget proposal to make sure the design comes in at expected total costs and ticks the boxes you need it to. This is a perfect opportunity to ask questions and make adjustments. If the core elements of the project make sense, we can get cracking.
Let's get designing...
The design document will include a full site plan, layout, plant/material list, image board and a 3D model of the garden. All these elements will help you visualise the plan and also make the construction phase smooth. Design costs will have been agreed in the previous phase and we only ask for 50% up front and then the remaining once you're happy with the product.
Bringing a design to life is truly the fun part. Similarly to the design phase, 50% of the labour and product costs are payable upfront. Our team will clear the space for bigger elements like decking, paving or foundations. Next we progress to the planting, pruning and laying a beautiful lawn. All the finishing touches we need to make you feel truly proud when you look out of the window each morning.

Trees Knoxville, a nonprofit devoted to expanding the urban canopy of trees throughout Knox County, is inviting residents to help develop a master plan for incorporating trees throughout the city over the next 20 years. The plan will help Knoxville preserve, grow, and care for trees, which play a significant role in public and environmental health.
A series of meetings are scheduled to learn about the tree plan and to provide input. On April 11, residents may come to the Jacob Building in Chilhowee Park from 5 to 7 pm. On April 19, drop in at the Urban Trees Planning Workshop at the UT Student Union, Ballroom A, from 3 to 5 pm. And on May 11 from 4 to 7 pm, drop in at the Cansler YMCA, 616 Jessamine Street. Or click here to complete an online survey.
Cityview asked Kasey Krouse, Knoxville’s urban forester, some questions about the tree plan.
What percentage of Knoxville already has an adequate tree canopy?
It is not so much about quantity, but more to do with trends. We know that about two-thirds of our neighborhoods have lost tree cover and one-third has gained over the years from 2008 to 2018. The majority of that tree loss (about 550 of the 700 acres lost) was on single family residential property.
What are you aiming for?
This is one of the things that we are looking at in this planning process. We hope to make realistic and impactful goals by working through all those folks partnering and that are part of this process.
Hardwoods or evergreens? Advantages or disadvantages?
Evergreens have some advantages over hardwoods in the fact that they have leaves year round and have some minimal environmental benefits. In fact, we need to prioritize native trees when possible, and that is mostly hardwoods. Prioritizing evergreens would impact other benefits such as wildlife habitat and food. Tree diversity is what is important.
What part of the city needs trees the most?
Again this is something that we are looking to address. A lot of this goes into overlays where prioritized needs overlap. An example may be low income neighborhoods with lack of tree cover, high impervious surfaces, and large areas available to plant.
I’d think that two major interstates crossing through town would contribute to our lack of trees. Any way to address that?
We have 1,000 miles of streets beyond just the highways. All of them impact tree canopy. Obviously, it is much easier to work out kinks in the streets that we own and maintain, but we are trying to work with TDOT on this process and develop opportunities to do more in these interstate corridors.

- Snider Plaza Improvements
Having completed the replacement of water and sanitary sewer utilities in and around the plaza, the City is moving forward with construction documents for a second stage of improvements. The streetscape project Concept Plan includes new pavement, stormwater utilities, landscaping, pedestrian amenities, and parking enhancements.
To assist with final consideration of design elements, in late 2022 the City constructed a streetscape mock-up to showcase all of the components. It's located on city property along Rankin, just west of Snider Plaza (see aerial photo). Final design and bidding for this upcoming work is now a major point of emphasis for the City. Before construction can begin, the City still needs to address rights-of-way issues and overall parking management with Snider Plaza property owners.
In February 2023, City Engineer Katie Barron provided Council with a design update, based on feedback received from the mock-up.
View or download February Council presentation.
The Concept Plan was referred to the Planning & Zoning Commission for public hearing on April 11, 2023. The Commission discussed the proposed request at two subsequent meetings on May 9 and May 30, culminating in approval of a zoning district map amendment for a boundary expansion (Rankin lot), a concept plan for the Street Zones and Sidewalk Zones, and a wavier of a requirement for a detailed site plan for the proposed work in the public rights of way.
The City Council will conduct a public hearing to gain additional comments on the Concept Plan during their June 6 meeting.

About the woodland
Before European invasion, the site was Yellow Box–Red Gum Grassy Woodland, but a century of unsustainable grazing and the development of the suburbs have seriously degraded the site. Fortunately, much of the park was replanted in 1965, mostly to yellow box, apple box and Blakely’s red gum- trees that existed in the original woodland.
The aim is to develop the Woodland as an amenity park for the local community. It is not a Nature Park, but in the longer term, the aim is to restore the area to look like the original box-gum grassy woodland.
The Hughes Garran Woodland Group was a successful recipient of the ACT Government’s Adopt-A-Park program at the end of 2019. The group received funding to upgrade a pathway in the park to improve community access, to reduce erosion, to promote the park through signage and install a water source to enable watering recent plantings throughout the drought. These activities will take place throughout 2020 with the support of SACTCG.
Long Term Management Plan
The Hughes Garran Woodland Group was awarded an ACT Environment Grant to develop a Long Term Management Plan for the Woodland. The eight hectare Hughes Garran Woodland lies between the suburbs of Hughes and Garran with the Southern Cross retirement village to the west and Kitchener Street to the east. The aim is to develop the Woodland as an amenity park for the local community.
Consultants were engaged to assist in the preparation of the plan. The Woodland was mapped to show its vegetation and natural features as well as access roads and walking tracks. This information, along with input from fire and maintenance people in ACT Government, was used to divide the Woodland into five Units according to their different management requirements. The final Plan will provide both the Hughes Garran Woodland Group and the ACT Government with guidelines for its activities over the next ten years.
The final Hughes Garran Woodlands Long Term Management Plan is now available to download below.

Had a customer with a rinky dink spike spray system that was originally for irises. Had already put the sod down and had spike sprays or shrubblers set in the turf. So I said why don't we try an experiment. So I pulled up the grass. Ran 4 rows of 6" spaced .5gph 1/4" tubing underneath the sod.

West 8 announced as the winner of Gulangyu Island Landscape Masterplan Conceptual Design
Earlier this year West 8 and AECOM were each invited to conduct an in-depth analysis and draw up a Landscape Improvement Plan for Gulangyu Island. In line with the Xiamen People’s Government and Gulangyu Management Committee’s “Beautiful Xiamen” strategy, and building upon Gulangyu’s UNESCO World Heritage application procedure, West 8’s proposal, which was presented to the official selection panel in July, includes a new spatial framework for the island.
The framework addresses how the stories of Gulangyu can be told and brought alive today, and the ways in which Gulangyu can be restored/preserved for inhabitants and visitors to increase liveability and create an enjoyable free spirited island.
On 8th Aug. 2014, the Xiamen Municipal Urban Planning Bureau held an external committee meeting for “Gulangyu Island Landscape Conceptual Design”. The jury, composed of six external experts (Mr. Ma, Mr. Hung, Mr. Bai, Mr. Wang , Mr. Lin and Mr. Lau) and other related organisations such as The Siming People’s Government and Gulangyu Management Committee, announced that West 8 had been awarded 1st place and shall continue to develop their Landscape Conceptual Design for Gulangyu Island.
West 8’s winning analysis and improvement plan encompasses the layered legacy of the island’s landscape, architecture, culture and scenery; its urban tissue and the monuments within; as well as the impact of the increasing mass tourism on the island for the local community. It outlines how the infrastructure and resources of Gulangyu Island have come under strain in recent years. The significant increases in tourism have created an overflow of mass commerce, damaged the heritage elements and undermined the natural beauty and history of the island.
In accordance with Xiamen People’s Government’s vision of reconstructing a “Noble, Elegant, Livable and Exquisite Gulangyu Island”, West 8 has realized a Strategic Framework Plan “Gulangyu – The Sea Garden Paradise – A Marriage of Heritage & Nature”. The plan aims to restore the historical marriage between heritage and nature and introduce a shift from mass tourism towards sustainable tourism.
The new master plan creates coherency between the different aspects of the island’s heritage so that the cultural, landscape and architectural legacy become parts of the same ensemble. It includes improvements to the urban network, unveils the hidden treasures of the island by enhancing the overall landscape and increases urban nodes for visitors without trespassing on the private space of residents. The design intention is to transition to a model of sustainable tourism by broadening the visitors’ experience on the island and re-balancing the intense use of the urban spaces within the context of the historical landscape.
West 8’s Strategic Framework Plan will be further developed and presented to the client again in the upcoming months.

A medium-sized shrub that blooms in mid-summer when little else is in flower. The light pink, spicy-sweet flowers open from a deep pink bud and are a pollinator favorite. Disease and pest free but avoid planting in dry soils. Spreads by underground stems to form a dense clump over time. Foliage turns a golden yellow in fall. In New York it’s found on the edges of acidic ponds, acidic sphagnum wetlands, and bog edges, mostly in the southern part of the state. In our area it’s common near the lakes in Minnewaska State Park, often in association with Swamp Azalea (Rhododendron viscosum), but is largely absent from the Catskills. Also known as Sweet Pepperbush.
