We aren’t all lucky enough to get to experience the beauty of Hawaii itself, but we can take inspiration from their plants, landscaping ideas and materials to create our own sort of Hawaiian paradise in our back gardens for this Summer. Even if the weather isn’t quite as warm and sunny, at least you can look around you and imagine that you are on a Caribbean holiday. Summer is coming, so why Here are some tips on how to create a Hawaiian inspired garden, and bring a touch of the Caribbean into your own outside space.
Include Large, Leafy Plants
One of the most obvious elements of a Hawaiian garden is the luscious green leafy plants. You can adapt the size and number of these according to your garden size. If you have limited space, opt for potted or pygmy date palm trees in order to get the same effect. However, if you have an abundance of space, try to incorporate full-sized leafy palms with their smaller counterparts. This will make the space feel luscious, and make the garden glow in a warm, green light.
Include A Water Feature
Hawaii is an island surrounded by water, which means that water must feature in your Hawaiian inspired garden. If you have plenty of space, a large pond with Koi fish is very authentic, and the fish will add an extra pop of colour to your garden. However, if space is limited, a small water feature will achieve a similar effect, and the sound of the trickling water will add to the relaxing atmosphere of the garden.
Choose Wooden Furniture
Outside spaces in Hawaii would feature wooden, rather than metal, furniture because the sun would make the metal too hot. If you really want to give your garden a caribbean feel, why not put up a hammock, to allow you real relaxation in the summer months.
Plant Colourful Flowers
A Hawaiian inspired garden wouldn’t look complete without some colourful flowers! Plumerias are the perfect flower, and in spite of growing best in tropical conditions, can also ben grown in the UK. Arum lilies are also a beautiful choice and and while they aren’t bright in colour, their white leaves will pop against the luscious greenery.
Add Some Heat
Of course, a Hawaiian inspired garden needs some of the heat of Hawaii, and while you can’t control the weather, you can add some heat yourself. Why not add a fire pit? Not only will this provide some light and some warmth on a summer evening, it is an authentic Hawaiian way to do so.

As groundbreaking nears for the Arch project, CityArchRiver has released a new fly-through of its design. Most of the imagery (east slope paths, north gateway) is unchanged from previous plans, but there are a couple new things to view. Most significant may be the treatment of the new city-facing entrance to the underground Museum of Westward Expansion. Through iterations of convex, then concave class entryways, several design challenges had remained unresolved. Here, the museum entrance avoid added an intrusive rail atop the new berm and instead appears to introduce a trench to serve as a barrier that won't extend into the existing sightline.
Second, the raised Leonor K. Sullivan Boulevard design has been refined. Gone are the various large barriers once intended to separate uses on the riverfront. The apparently more open, flat design is a smart way to encourage visitors to approach the riverfront, while also accomodating bikes, strollers and cars. As noted several times previously, the winding paths connecting the Arch grounds to the riverfront may be the most impactful, well-designed change offered. What else do you see that may be new?
Old rendering of central riverfront:

1) Turn the square into a circle (bigger than the square so I don't have to plant grass).
2) Dig a really deep and really wide pit in the middle, build a stone block wall around it, eventually make a custom lid or screen and for sure a cooking grill.
3) Dig the edges of the area deep and get the crappy sand out, replace with nice new sand (like a beach!), or really fine pebbles (no sandy butts) [what do you guys think, which one?]
4) Get a couple nice chairs and a table.
BUT here's the thing: I kinda want more. Or any other ideas for that matter (maybe not putting the pit in the center?) A little pizzaz? Well, if there are any good ideas that is. Here are some pictures, as you can see it's right next to a small hill:
You can use anything: plants, pots, rocks, terraces, logs, anything... and mega bonus points for ideas on features I could use all the old sand for and cover with grass
Every idea is good, give me a stoned highdea, i really don't care. Thanks!


Our stabilized decomposed granite has been screened to 3/8 in. minus. It is suitable to use for pathways, outdoor patios, hiking and bike trails, equestrian base, and driveways. It can also be used for base under artificial turf. The color is a golden tan and will vary in color depending on it it is wet or dry. When dry is looks like a golden tan. When wet it looks like a dark tan with a slight red tone. To stabilized the DG we add psyllium powder to the decomposed granite. The psyllium once wet will act as a binder to help minimize erosion. We recommend using stabilized DG in high traffic areas or when erosion is a main concern.


November 10: Rainwater Harvesting Workshop (Sponsored by the City of Eugene)
Nov 10, 2012
from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
|Where||Nearby Nature Yurt in Alton Baker Park|
|Contact Name||Jenna Garmon|
|Add event to calendar||
Want help designing a rainwater harvesting system for your yard? Sign up for a 2-hour workshop with local expert Sarah Whitney that will cover design, installation and maintenance. Specific topics will include different types of systems, how to calculate your rainwater resource, water budget and storage needs, and what to do with overflow. Following the presentation, we will look at two rainwater harvesting systems installed at the Alton Baker Park Water Wise Garden.
Why harvest rainwater?
Rainwater is a precious resource, vital to sustaining life, and people have been collecting rainwater throughout history. Yet in the modern built environment, it is typically piped off-site. Rain picks up pollutants from roofs and pavement and carries it into storm drains and eventually into our streams. Rainwater harvesting is a strategy of capturing rain, storing it over time, and re-using it on-site. This decreases the volume and rate of storm water runoff and associated water pollution, flooding and erosion. Rainwater harvesting also reduces the amount of water taken from the McKenzie watershed that is then treated and pumped to your home for uses that don’t require treated drinking water, such as irrigation. Rain is a naturally soft water and does not contain harmful minerals, chlorine, and other chemicals. For this reason, plants respond very well to rainwater. And once you have your system set up, it’s free!
Please note: You must register
and pay for this workshop ahead of time. Cost: $10.

I was at the home of a potential client today. They have some tall trees at the rear of their home with newly-landscaped plants and a dry creek bed below the trees. The trees have been in a wooded setting and consequently have sparse or no lower limbs. I commented that I would like to moonlight from one or two of the trees but that I wasn't seeing much branching that could filter the light. The client said "couldn't you use some artificial foliage attached where you wanted on the tree?" Now why didn't I think of that?


From Planes to Placemaking
A $10,000 travel award has been made available annually through a gift from family and friends in memory of Joyce Drohan (1954-2022) for a student enrolled in a graduate program at the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Students must be in their second or graduating year of an eligible program and undertaking travel to expand their knowledge of sustainable architecture or sustainable urban design. Joyce Drohan was an award-winning architect and urban designer of public sector projects and sustainable communities. She was especially interested in shaping meaningful places that expressed the historic, cultural and social aspects of a community, underpinned by sustainable design. The award is made on the recommendation of the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. (First award available for the 2022/2023 winter session).


From the Creative Team
Our inspiration for the ‘Marsh Queen’ photo shoot came from many different elements of the theme. We live in such a beautiful place surrounded by farms, wetlands and trails. The colours are turning right now into the richest fall shades. We wanted to express our talents and the beauty of colour through landscape, humanity and of course florals. We hope you enjoy these stunning visual images.


Clark Engineering adds wetland, environmental services
Clark Engineering Corp. has added landscape architecture, natural resource and environmental services to its offerings out of the Sioux Falls office.
Minneapolis-based Clark Engineering hired Paul Clinton, a landscape architect, and Carrie Johnson, a wetland delineator and environmental specialist.
The company had been outsourcing environmental and wetland services and decided at a strategic planning session last year to add them. Clinton and Johnson were looking for new opportunities in Sioux Falls without having to relocate, so Clark decided to base the services here.
Clinton is a registered landscape architect in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. He also is a certified professional in erosion and sediment control, and a wetland delineator, with more than 20 years of experience.
Johnson is a certified wetland delineator in Minnesota and has completed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland certification program for South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska. She has more than 10 years of experience in the natural resource field.
In addition to Sioux Falls and Minneapolis, Clark Engineering has offices in Watertown and Aberdeen.

Lets build a garden. The design one. So, no spoilers – let’s get straight to the homework because it’s all homework now.
It is simple. Draw a design for your garden! He said like it was the easiest thing in the world.
So, we can do this at several levels. For those of you with children the designs can be as simple as a drawing of your garden now. And for older children the design can be as you would like it to be. Children who are confident can design with real measures and to scale.
Below is a video covering some simple measurement techniques. There are some more resources at the bottom of the page.
There are a whole range of drawing programmes available from the simple “Paint” to full-on CAD/ CAM design software. As ever I can’t recommend anything specific. Just provide a limited list of some of the software available.
So, think about all the elements you want to use. Turf, hard landscaping and flowers. Shrubs and ground-covering plants. Then, bark or similar mulch. Driveways and paths. Remember to think about the relative heights of the plants and when they flower. The colours of their buds and flowers, as well as the area they will cover and how much ground cover you actually want.
If you are looking for help then BALI has a directory of contractors who can help – https://www.bali.org.uk/members/directory
There is a huge range of advice on planning and designing a garden, so I won’t duplicate it here. But there are some common themes. Start with a plan. Use graph paper if software isn’t your thing. Then, decide your priorities and the style to adopt. Small spaces needn’t limit your options but they will challenge your creativity. It is best to consider hard landscaping first. Then planting – please don’t rush to planting.
Where shall I start?
The first thing to do is to define the edges of your plot by thinking about height, colour, area coverage and the time of flowering…and take it a day at a time.
…..and of course, we have all sorts of articles on our website to help you work out how to go about designing and building your garden.

You may decide that your garden is going to be functional, rather than full of plants and water features. You might choose a children’s area with a slide and a sandpit, or a large patio and decking area for barbeques. You might just want to be able to get to the washing line, or the shed.
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.

SOMERSET residents are set to see a series of changes to one county town centre as part of a multi-million regeneration scheme.
The Triangle is set to be transformed as part of Yeovil Refresh, in a bit to make the space more attractive to residents, visitors and businesses.
Here are five key changes to the area that you will see once work is completed:
An SSDC spokesman said: “We want to make The Triangle an entertainment area for anyone to enjoy so we will be creating amphitheatre seating around a water feature, raised stage area and large screen.
“The seating area provides the perfect opportunity for anyone to take a break from shopping and take in the entertainment provided in this area or stop for a bite to eat.
“We are also going to be providing accessible route access to the area so everyone can enjoy The Triangle.”
Focal water feature
“Imagine Brewery Square in Dorchester – but better,” said SSDC.
“The Triangle will offer a newly installed water feature in the town centre which can be turned on and off depending on the use of the area. We want this space to feel modern, fresh and fun.”
Raised stage area
The council is going to be creating a raised stage area so that entertainment can take place at The Triangle.
They added: “We see this public realm space a key area for people to gather, socialise and have fun whilst in the town.
“There are many shops and restaurants for people to visit and enjoy and adding entertainment will only enhance the experience in Yeovil town.”
This has been added to plans after initial consultation found many people wanted a big screen for promotion and to use for events. The district council will be able to display key information to the public whilst also providing a space for people to congregate and watch events. The Triangle will offer the perfect location for this in the town centre.
Natural stone paving and ornamental planting
The SSDC spokesman added: “We can’t just put a fantastic new shiny amphitheatre seating area, water feature and big screen in The Triangle area without making sure that the rest of the public realm area is tidied up as well, so we will be using natural stone paving to fit in with the new facilities provided and also using ornamental planting to bring some greenery to the area.”
There are a total of six areas of Yeovil town centre which will see changes including Westminster Street, The Borough, upper Middle Street (including Wine Street), Middle Street (East), Middle Street (West) and The Triangle.
Work is scheduled to start in early February and will be completed in a phased approach over a few years as the council works to keep the town centre running while the construction is delivered, beginning with Westminster Street.
Councillor Peter Gubbins, executive member for Yeovil Refresh, said: “I’m really excited about the Triangle.
“This is a space that has been under-utilised for many years as, but now we are going to be providing an area which can be used for many different things and an area which will be attractive and appealing for people to use.
“We are delivering on what people asked for in this area and can’t wait for it to be finished and fully functioning as a new focal point in the town centre.”
Andrew Clancy is the managing director of Coreus, who have been working with SSDC on Quantity Surveying, project management support and the public realm designs.
He said: “As a South Somerset resident, I am so pleased to be supporting SSDC in project and cost management works for the regeneration of Yeovil. The public realm works will regenerate the town and in a post Covid world help attract inward investment and economic development.”

Consider the long term practically and maintenance of patio materials carefully....Most people only think about materials in terms of the cost but that should not be your only consideration.

120 million trees to be planted in capital citySociety
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. It is planned to plant 120 million trees in nine districts of Ulaanbaatar city by making rehabilitation and establishing forest protection strip. Reforestation in more than 12 hectares in Ulaanbaatar city will increase the forest area of the capital city to 23 percent.
At the meeting of the Governor's Council of the Capital City, Deputy Mayor in charge of green development and air pollution reduction P.Battur introduced a draft plan on the implementation of ‘One billion trees’ nationwide campaign in the capital city.
“Three objectives have been set in the plan for 2022-2030. Within the framework of the objectives, the measures will be taken for the reduction of deforestation and degradation, reforestation and rehabilitation of the area affected by forest fire and pests, and the expansion of forest area. Forest protection strips will be established on an area covering 3.350 hectares. As a result, it will become possible to expand gardening, reduce air pollution and soil degradation, and increase the green area per capita,” said P.Battur.
‘One billion trees’ nationwide campaign is expected to be implemented in three phases. The first phase or the preparatory phase will be taking place in 2021-2024, and the second or the intensification phase will be implemented in 2024-2026, while, the third or sustainable implementation phase is planned for 2027-2030.

Take the stress out of your landscape renovation
Robert Schucker, president of R&S Landscaping in Midland Park, provides the following information.
MIDLAND PARK — Are you considering renovating your yard and outdoor living space? Have you inherited a tired, overgrown and outdated landscape? Working with a professional landscape designer to prepare a plan can save you from costly mistakes.
Over the past 30 years I have interacted and worked with many clients. In that time, I’ve learned the most important steps a homeowner can take to ensure their landscape project goes smoothly with a trusted professional. I’ll share some tips with you on how to prepare yourself to select, hire and effectively work with your landscape designer.
What you need to know before interviewing designers
The first question you need to ask yourself is: Do I really need a designer? Landscape renovations can vary from completely re-thinking and changing the allocation of your outdoor space to renovating only a portion of your property. If you’re looking to replace only a small section of plants, hiring a professional gardener may be a better option, rather than paying for a full, drafted design. Local landscaping companies will most likely have gardeners on staff to assist you in choosing and replacing your plantings.
When your project includes a larger area or re-allocating space such as lawn to patio or plant bed to pool, you’ll most likely require a designer.
At this point, ask yourself if you’re ready to invest in a complete property renovation or simply want to enhance or improve only one portion of your property. Landscape projects are often broken down into phases over time if homeowners are not ready to invest in a full renovation.
Next, you’ll want to determine exactly how you’d like to use your property. Ask yourself these questions: How do you use you outdoor space currently and how would you really like to use the space? Do you enjoy spending time outdoors during the day? Sitting in the sun in the morning while sipping coffee, or evenings outside grilling and entertaining? Is the rear more important to you? Is the front of the house (or the public view) a priority?
If you share this information with your designer they can help to plan out the appropriate amount of outdoor living (patio and hardscape) space required.
Creating privacy is often another topic that should be discussed. How much privacy is needed? Is blocking a view of your neighbor’s house important? Evergreen hedges and privacy buffers can add to the overall budget depending on the quantity and size required.
Be prepared with these questions for your designer
Once you’ve answered these questions for yourself, it’s time to start looking for a designer or design firm. Not all designers come with an installation crew. Landscape companies with designers on staff will most likely have an installation crew to back up their design. However, independent designers may just offer a design and leave you to find another construction company to install the project.
Independent designers can do great work, but prepare to be more hands-on with a project when working with just a designer. You may need to research and hire an installation contractor as well after working with an independent designer. Hiring a design firm allows you to hand off the project to professionals from start to finish. The communication between designer and installation foremen is already established and you will not need to act as a middle-man or risk important details getting lost in translation.
There are many different styles of landscape design to select from such as contemporary, formal, informal, natural, native or a mixture of styles. Not every designer excels in each style. To make sure you will get your ideal style, ask to look at a designers project portfolio of finished projects. Many designers have images on their website or social media you can browse even before you pick up a phone. If their designs appeal to you, contact potential landscape designers and meet them in person.
Briefly discuss your project and budget range with them before launching into a whole list of questions or paying for the design. Make sure your expectations of costs lines up with their pricing. This will save you the disappointment of time and money wasted due to unrealistic expectations.
When you interview the designer don’t be afraid to bring a list of questions and be prepared to write down the answers for future reference – especially if your spouse is absent from the meeting. It may be difficult to remember all the answers later, after interviewing multiple designers.
Ask about their capabilities and experience. If your project is a large renovation, it’s essential to determine whether the designer has capacity for landscape design in all the areas you’ll need.
Ask questions that go beyond the initial design
If the designer will not be managing the installation with their landscape firm, find out whether the landscape designer will supervise the project with other contractors or leave you to bring in your own contractors. If the designer works with a larger landscape company, ask questions about their capabilities regarding ongoing maintenance, drainage, sprinkler system installation, outdoor lighting, zoning, permits and types of plants or any other specific concerns.
Ask about their availability for scheduling and start dates. It’s best to plan your project a minimum of 2-3 months prior to the anticipated completion start date. This allows time for design revisions, zoning and permit submissions or special order materials to arrive.
Discuss budget with your designer and get a sense of how different elements in the project will affect the final cost. Having a realistic project budget allocated will result in a landscape that best fits your lifestyle and budget.
The next step is to ask for references. Homeowners who have been in your position, may be able to give you specific insights into the designer and what to expect during the process.
Working with the best designer for the job
Ultimately, I suggest you hire the landscape designer you feel most comfortable communicating with about your needs. It’s important that your designer listens to your needs and wants. When both you and your designer are the same page regarding design style and overall goals, the process of designing and building a new landscape is fun and exciting.
As you walk through the process, your designer will help guide you with appropriate material choices that complement your homes architecture and neighborhood. A professional will also guide you through the correct project sequence or phasing. This helps save you money by sequencing the elements of your installation properly.

We all know that Rhododendrons are fabulous for their dramatic flower colour but did you know that some have great foliage colour too. Moser's Maroon is a perfect example. The flowers are a memorable shade of rich, slightly translucent ruby in themselves but the new foliage is an attraction in its own right.
This foliage stays the same amazing red all summer and through autumn and into winter. The effect is more pronounced when it is grown in a sheltered spot in the garden and given a little shade. Light shade is great for all rhododendrons as the flowers last longer out of the harsh glare of the sun. Try using it to cover ugly features like drainpipes and utility boxes round the house.Read More

Seeding pebbles over the surface of wet concrete adds visual interest to pavement. Creating an exposed pebble finish on pavement is a do-it-yourself task that only slightly increases the total cost of the project. Pebbled concrete forms a level, slip-resistant surface that suits driveways, walkways or patios. Choose smooth, colorful pebbles that complement existing colors in your yard.
Things You'll Need
How to Create a Pebbled Concrete Surface
Step 1: Measure and Outline the Site
Measure the area and add 3 inches to the sides for the form boards. Outline the site with landscaping paint, tracing the side of a board so the lines are straight.
Video of the Day
Step 2: Dig and Compact the Surface
Unearth the area with a shovel until there's an 8-inch-deep expanse with vertical walls. Press the bottom of a hand tamper over the surface so the loose dirt feels compact.
Step 3: Tamp the Aggregate
Add 3/4-inch aggregate into the expanse and spread it with a shovel. Insert a measuring stick through the aggregate to the compacted subsoil. Tamp the aggregate and add more to create a 5-inch-thick base. The tamped base is flexible enough to buffer the concrete from ground tension and enable water to drain away.
Step 4: Fit Boards
Fit 2-by-4 inch form boards against the inner walls and screw them together with a drill. Brace the boards with wooden posts around the outer perimeter.
Step 5: Mix Concrete
Mix the concrete mix in a large wheelbarrow with water using a paddle and drill. The composition should be thick but spreadable.
Step 6: Pour the Concrete Mix
Pour the mixture over the base using a gauge rake to fill the corners and sides. Place a wood board on the wet surface and pull it back and forth to make it level.
Step 7: Lay the Pebbles
Lay decorative pebbles over the concrete with a shovel. Spread any small piles with a broom for even coverage. Lay a board over top and press the pebbles into the concrete. Wait about two hours so the surface can start to set.
Step 8: Expose the Pebbles
Push off the thin coating of cement paste around the sides of the stones with a soft broom. Expose only the top of the pebbles so they remain firmly embedded in the concrete. Hose off the cement you removed.
Step 9: Cover the Pavement for One Week
Cover the pavement with moist, breathable fabric and keep it moist for a week.
Step 10: Apply Sealant to Finish
Seal the pavement with clear, penetrating sealant using a roller brush to guard against water damage and wear and tear.

Here’s some of the things I state: “I’m truly eagerly anticipating conference you on -day, before you go, among the important things I was hoping you might have a think of prior to we fulfill is how much you’re thinking you ‘d like to buy this project.””I’m not sure if you’ve already thought of this and I don’t require a response from you now, due to the fact that I know this is an actually awkward subject to discuss, but it will truly help me to make certain you get the finest value for cash if I have some idea of the spending plan we’ll be working within.””To provide you an idea, my clients normally return to me with a figure range to the nearby $5k, so for example $45-50thousand.
The last thing I want you to experience is a lot of surprise surprises.”Oh, and if you might bring some images or hard copies of the sorts of things you have actually seen prior to that you truly like, that would be really helpful too.

Your hosta White Feather will eventually spread to 30 inches/90 cms wide but not in its first season. It needs to be grown in shade or very dappled sunlight to avoid burning those pale leaves.
Slugs will probably love it so you'll need to protect it - wildlife friendly slug pellets scattered thinly but regularly, a mulch of coffee grounds or sharp grit, a copper ring round the plant............
Different hostas have different heights and spread and very different leaf shapes, textures and colours. With care, you can plant a beautiful tapestry of them. Most like moist soils rather than sharply drained so you may want to add some well rotted leaf mold or compost to your soil before planting.


Flowers are a beautiful way to decorate the outside of your home. It can be easy, however, for your garden to end up looking generic. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make sure that your flowerbeds stand out from the rest.
One thing that will set your plant beds apart from the rest is lighting. While your garden is easy to see during the day, lights can make it stand out after the sun goes down. You can keep it simple with path lights, or highlight a bigger portion of your garden by installing spotlights. Fairy lights and illuminated statues can add an element of whimsy to your garden.
A statue doesn’t have to light up to bring your garden personality. Many gardeners turn their flowerbeds into a “fairy garden” with tiny statues of fairies and their houses and furniture. While this fairy theme is charming, it is far from the only option. A garden is a wonderful place to display artwork such as sculptures that you have either made or collected. If you have kids, your flowerbed can be a unique way of displaying their art to the neighborhood.
Whether they line your flowerbed or lie on the ground as stepping-stones, stones are an important part of your garden’s decor. For a more simple, elegant look, you can leave them plain. You may also paint them to align with the theme of your garden. Stones also offer practical use, in addition to elevating the beauty of a flowerbed. They offer protection from erosion and loss of moisture, making them an important part of flower bed maintenance Avon OH.
Gardens should be as diverse as the people that grow them. There are so many ways to personalize your garden. Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through!

The initial call from these clients came during COVID, while they were still living in California. They purchased the home site-unseen and initially hired the Designer to select paint colors and furnishings. Following a site-visit the Designer reported back to the clients, and the consensus was to do a full remodel. The inspiration was to honor the American Empire style Architecture while juxtaposing modern elements and furnishings.
The Clients loved the Library in the home, with it’s floor to ceiling bookcases and fireplace. They requested to have a Partner’s Desk by the French Doors, so that they could enjoy looking out to the enclosed patio while they were working. The original patio felt dated and featured an abundance of crema-marfil and terracotta. There was an eye-sore and not any particular design style, but the space felt more South-western than anything else. Architecturally, the space was limiting and an interesting challenge for the Designer.
Standing in the Library and looking out the French Doors the Designer visualized an opportunity to design a beautiful focal point for the Clients when they are sitting at their desk. Taking time to determine an aesthetic unique to the home, the Designer had a revelation. Drawing inspiration from a lush Zen Garden, a 10’ high water wall was designed for visual interest and to add the sound of gently cascading water. Lush greenery was planted above the wall to obstruct the view of the neighbors home. Black Japanese pebbles, Epi Planks and towering Bamboo add an organic element to the garden. A bench by Bernhardt for sitting and contemplation (which the husband shared that he enjoys taking time to do), and authentic Buddha complete the perfect outdoor Zen Garden. The Clients favorite part of their newly remodeled home!

Summer is soon arriving so why not take this opportunity to transform your garden seating area so that you can make the most of your outdoor space? We’ve put together an edit of some of our favourite showstopping schemes we’ve recently discovered on Instagram.
Is this not a garden scheme we all dream of? A hot tub, a fire pit and bundles of stylish and comfortable furniture! Take inspiration from @noplacelikehome2018 and adapt her luxurious scheme to suit your own outdoor space.
Gardens are for relaxing and spending time with friends and family in a cosy and comfortable space. We think @tiffyandflow has nailed it with this woodland-inspired oasis which is filled with an abundance of texture and pattern.
Take note from Michaela from @houseofchester and jazz up a grey garden furniture set with tropical print cushions and fun outdoor planters. Lighting is really important when it comes to creating a cosy atmosphere in an outdoor space – adorn your fence with fairylights or simply hang them above your seating area for a festival feel.
The key to creating an inviting garden seating area is bringing your living space outdoors! Mimic the style you have used indoors and replicate this for your garden to make it feel cohesive. We’re huge fans of Kate’s set up from @copper.and.me, especially her outdoor rug, which pulls together the scheme and her cosy egg chair.
No matter how big or how small your garden space is, Alicia from @emeraldterrace proves that you can make any outdoor area stylish and functional. Think outside the box when it comes to your choice of seating – a hammock, for example, is perfect if you’re going to host guests for a casual event.
Black is the new black
Black interiors is a huge trend for 2020 and it has made its way out into the garden! Becky from @21oakham has transformed her garden with a painted black fence and decking, a comfy corner sofa and an abundance of potted plants.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (Parks) announced today that work to convert the former West River Parkway into a multi- use recreational trail that connects the City of Buffalo to the City of Niagara Falls has been completed.
The $2.5 million Parks 2020 project transformed two lanes of highway into a vehicle free multi-use, multi-season trail that runs along eight miles of the Niagara River from Beaver Island State Park to Buckhorn State Park. It includes refurbished overlooks, landscaping and year-round access to the water while closing a significant gap in the Niagara River Greenway Shoreline Trail. Funding for the project was provided by a $1.6 million federal grant as well as $900,000 from the New York Power Authority though the Niagara River Greenway Commission.
New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner Rose Harvey said, "The West River Shoreline Trail is certain to become one of the best places to recreate in all of Western New York. Connecting communities and creating more places to enjoy is vital to the work we do at Parks and this project does all of that and more. We look forward to seeing families from all over New York State and beyond enjoying this newest recreational asset."
New York State Power Authority President and CEO Gil C. Quiniones said "The Power Authority is proud to support the great work by State Parks on many recent recreational improvements at Western New York parks and other public areas. To support State Parks' efforts to fast track its restoration initiatives, including the major upgrades at Niagara Falls State Park and the West River Shoreline Trail, NYPA provided a lump-sum, advance payment of $25 million from funding set aside for Greenway improvements. Not only are these improvements an investment in future tourism, they enhance the local quality-of-life and provide more access to the waterfront for community enjoyment."
Congressman Brian Higgins said "With the opening of the West River Shoreline Trail we leave behind Robert Moses-inspired, car-centric, underused infrastructure and replace it with a smarter, greener alternative that continues the great progress we've made opening up access to Western New York's waterfront. This is a great recreational feature that adds to the quality of life for residents living in the Town of Grand Island and beyond."
Assemblyman Angelo Morinello said "With the completion of the project, we add another asset to the other eco-tourism industry not only here in Western New York but in New York State. I appreciate State Parks taking on this project as well as their commitment to keeping this trail free of commercial development."
Grand Island Supervisor Nathan McMurray said "Having eight miles of beautiful shoreline to dedicated to safe pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be a huge benefit for Grand Island and for all of Western New York. The Trail will connect the 1,300+ acres of green space in Beaver Island and Buckhorn State Parks, and provide a unique recreation opportunity for residents and visitors alike."
Completion of this project comes just months after Governor Cuomo introduced cashless tolling to Grand Island and opened the newest I Love NY Welcome Center, just a mile from the trail.
The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees more than 250 parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, boat launches and more, which are visited by 71 million people annually. For more information on any of these recreation areas, call 518-474-0456 or visit parks.ny.gov, connect on Facebook, or follow on Twitter.


We developed the idea for an arts and science transitional park, Urban Flower Field, in downtown St. Paul and needed a creative company to collaborate with to help make it a reality. Ecological Gardens team was great with helping translate our ideas into reality. They came up with creative solutions to work with in our budget while stile maintaining the overall concept. Ecological Gardens were hard working and a joy to work with from start to finish! I hope to work with them again on creative projects in the future.

A garden favourite it the simple sleeper garden bench or wooden bench seat. We make these in hardwood only as the treated pine benches tend to twist over time. Using a full thickness sleeper makes the garden bench look rustic and authentic. The sleeper being a natural timber can blend into any garden setting and provide a real rustic furniture look..
Full thickness sleepers are such a popular wanted feature that we have multiple designs to choose from. If you want a garden bench to fully blend into the surroundings then the choice of using recycled railway sleeper is a must. Their deformed edges, spike holes and defects are all natural. If however you prefer a cleaner looking wooden bench seat then the new ironbark garden sleepers may provide the best option.
All designs can be either free standing or anchored into the ground for added stability. All our designs use a steel dowel to join the legs to the bench so that there are no exposed screws on the surface.
Place two units together to form a couch like feature and make sitting more comfortable, add an armrest or some outdoor cushions. Whichever option, these units will outlast any conventional wooden bench seat and weathering will make these garden benches look even more authentic and natural.
Prices listed are per unit, any photos or combinations with double width is classified as 2 units.
|New Ironbark/Greygum Hardwood Sleepers||$341||$400||$480||$522|
|Recycled Railway Sleepers 'AA' Grade||$475||$539||$608||$643|

CHICAGO -- For a place that likes to color its river once a year, a new permanent plan is making waves.
Over the next year, Josh Ellis has a new mission: a master plan for the 100 miles of Chicago’s riverfronts: the Chicago, Calumet and Des Plaines.
Just a few days ago, a new website went online looking for a flood of ideas on what will become a slow moving river plan by next summer.
The key for Chicago is balance -- balance between commercial, recreational and the rivers’ historical use: industrial.
This is the start of what could be the plan used for generations to come -- that Chicagoans can have a say in today.
Take the survey: Great Rivers Chicago Survey

Landscaping, that is, the ability to shape the landscape that surrounds us, is a very important part of the Blues Simon Group hallmark, whose constructive philosophy organically integrates its buildings with the natural environment. The Mediterranean climate in which we find ourselves also gives us a wide range of possibilities to do so, even in winter.
One of the main characteristics of Mediterranean gardens is their ability to withstand dry seasons, as well as extreme climatic conditions, which makes their maintenance extremely easy. The climate we have here, gives us the privilege to enjoy a bright, aromatic, fresh and sustainable exterior of our homes.
However, we cannot fall into anarchic planting, without planning, as an amalgam of plant species without a common thread will ruin the harmony of colors, masses and textures that we try to find for our garden.
Wide range of possibilities
The coloring is the norm in Mediterranean landscaping, capable of masterfully combining hibiscus with jasmine, lilies with bougainvillea, dondiegos with genistas, honeysuckle, lantana … even mountain carnations with flowery walls of white sands – also known as “dead fly wing”-, some of them that without being native to the area have adapted perfectly to our climate.
A color that can be mixed with other harder-looking plants, thus looking for a contrast with the delicacy of flowering plants, such as the infinite species of cacti, “echeverías”, the variety of succulent plants, with the evergreen at the top or aloe-vera, so widespread in our region.
To the cool air of the shade
Furthermore, the need to create natural shade spaces cannot be neglected. For this, the Mediterranean coast has species such as fig trees, wild and stone pines, cork oaks, laurels or holm oaks, which can give us wonderful shady afternoons to enjoy a chill-out after-dinner. There are those who prefer more of a tropical touch and opt for one of the palm tree species that very well addapted in our region.
If, in addition, we want to contribute something more colorful, with that explosion of warm colors, even in autumn or winter, we can bet on fruit trees, such as orange tree, lemon tree, mandarin tree, strawberry tree, olive or pomegranate, among others.
An aromatic and nourishing touch
We cannot forget the perimeter of our plot, for which we can take advantage of which is by far one of the great protagonists of Mediterranean landscaping. We are talking about the Cypress, a conifer with its lush green essence (and perennial) that will give us the privacy we want for our garden.
In addition, and looking at the low species to delimit flower beds, we can combine the bushes with aromatic plants that provide freshness and that pleasant fragrance that mixes with jasmine and orange blossom: we refer to thyme, lavender, rosemary or rockrose.
If in addition to cultivating plant species we want to cultivate hobbies, perhaps we can allocate a part of our plot to a garden, in which to unleash our more rustic side, an activity in which many people find another escape valve. Winter is the season for beans, oriental like pak choi or tak choi crowns, red cabbage for Christmas Eve dinner, carrots or Brussels sprouts.The garden and the landscaping that we carry out are another part of our homes. From our know-how, we will not only optimize the environment but the architecture itself, improving your enjoyment without falling into altering the idiosyncrasy of the place.
