Mayor Harp and the City of New Haven are pleased to announce that Perkins Eastman, an award-winning architecture and planning firm, will assist our community with the planning, design and strategic implementation of the “New Long Wharf”, a series of interrelated strategies to advance the responsible growth of this important business district. The goal is to support the social and economic development of the Long Wharf District through strategic focus on coastal resiliency, progressive economic strategies and community engagement - with assistance from Long Wharf’s thriving business community and residents of the Hill neighborhood.
More specifically, with Perkins Eastman’s specialized assistance, we will complete an overall “big picture” vision for the district which will be complemented by a strategic economic plan; new streetscape improvement concepts; and a transportation plan with more specific design work along Sargent Drive and landscape improvements to complement a revitalized Long Wharf Park.
This project is part of a larger grant from the State of Connecticut’s OPM to improve the Long Wharf District. Work already completed in the district via the grant include the state’s first cycle track and improvements to Long Wharf Drive’s 30-truck “Food Truck Paradise” area.
Companion efforts in the district include: • Coastal resiliency work at Long Wharf Park • Renovation and reopening of the Info Center • And Long Wharf’s signature project, the $40 million Canal Dock Boathouse, will be completed in 2018.


The Boerne, Texas property has contracted with Tripp Davis and Associates to prepare a Master Plan for the 18-hole golf course. The redesign of the driving range, one-third of the tees, and a quarter of the bunkers should be complete by the end of April.
The Tapatio Springs Hill Country Resort & Spa in Boerne, Texas, has contracted with Tripp Davis and Associates to prepare a Master Plan for renovation and redesign of its 18 hole golf course.
“Tapatio Springs is in the Texas Hill Country just outside San Antonio and it’s a beautiful property with great rolling terrain, huge old live oaks, and great vistas,” said Tripp Davis. “The golf course was originally well routed so there is a good foundation for us to work with in terms of updating the course. While our focus will be to make the course more playable, our intent also is to provide an enjoyable golf experience for resort guests and local members.”
Work undertaken by Tripp Davis will include enhancing the existing driving range, enlarging tee boxes, reshaping greenside bunkers and leveling off some fairways for improved irrigation. Davis and his team have already started the work and should complete the driving range redesign and renovation and redesign of one-third of the tees and a quarter of the bunkers by the end of April.

The Architecture Foundation, together with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and the Royal Academy of Arts, have now announced the 5 design teams selected for London As It Could Be Now: New Visions for the Thames public design workshop – ideas presented will subsequently be exhibited as part of the ‘Future of London’ section of the Richard Rogers RA: Inside Out exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London which runs until 13 October 2013.
Kingston University Landscape Architecture will be well represented as two of the teams feature students, teaching staff and alumni.
- The Eastern Reach – The Eastern Reach is a collective of designers, engineers and ecologists: George Wade, Ed Wall, Helena Rivera, Chris McCarthy, Kate Priestman and Alex Malaescu
- Carl Turner Architects with The Edible Bus Stop – founding member and Creative Director of The Edible Bus Stop, Will Sandy studied Landscape Architecture at Kingston University
The competition called for ideas on the future development of the river Thames in London. Selected for their innovative ideas for the Thames’ future development, the teams have been chosen to develop their wide-ranging proposals for the capital’s main waterway. The multidisciplinary design teams will put forward their ideas and visions for self-selected sites along the Tidal Thames. With the news currently full of proposals for new airports, floating villages and increased connectivity between North and South London it is more important than ever to consider new ways to harness this artery that runs through the capital to enhance the ways we will live in the future.
The design teams present their proposals at a public design workshop on 22 September hosted by the Royal Academy, where they will present their visions to a panel of expert advisors including architects Graham Stirk and Eric Parry as well as the deputy chair of the London Mayor’s Design Advisory Panel Patricia Brown.


After getting considered the choices accessible you’re ready to debate your necessities with a garden firm. They may be capable to take your concepts and your requirements and create a special haven so that you can take pleasure in. Even if the area is tiny, there isn’t any motive why you’ll be able to’t have one thing a bit bit special. Gardens do take a good amount of work, and when you merely haven’t the time then you will get some help.
There are many ways in which you can create a garden however whatever you do you may need a plan and that is the place a garden design comes in. Should you’re a eager newbie gardener there are plenty of inspirational books like Andrew Wilson’s ‘Guide of Backyard Plans’. But in the event you’ve not bought the inspiration otherwise you simply haven’t the time to review the ins and outs of surveys, planning requirements, development drawings and what plant to put where you then’ll doubtless need a backyard designer. Yow will discover designers who’ve passed stringent professional necessities and are members of the UK’s skilled body for garden design the Society of Backyard Designers or at the British Association of Panorama Industries.
A very powerful ability you possibly can have is perseverance.
You do not have to consider your self a eager gardener to enjoy the plants in your garden. While the above talked about elements all make for good backyard design, lets face it, a garden isn’t full with out quite a lot of shrubs, perennials, annuals and bushes. I personally like a more minimal planting scheme utilizing crops like buxus, bay and olive to create architectural shapes and green ‘structures’. There is nevertheless no denying the great thing about flowering crops and shrubs that add color to your backyard and brighten up your outside house. Small trees such as acer can actually add a splash of curiosity to your garden and their fiery crimson foliage nicely offset the greens and blues of standard crops and timber.
But if you happen to’d quite spend your money on plants and different things in your garden you may make your backyard come alive with simple candles. Whether or not they are in elaborate lamps bought again out of your holidays, hurricane lamps or what I am going to be doing tonight finding all the empty jam jars and filling them with tealights nothing easier or simpler.
Raised beds are one of the easiest sorts to work with.
Engaging a design marketing consultant to explain the essential strategies and maybe provide some inspirational concepts could also be all it’s worthwhile to get the ball rolling. Ultimately only you’ll be able to decide what is right on your backyard. Tastes in gardens range as much as in inside design and preferences for artwork or music. The true acid check of whether or not your new garden design has worked is only gauged by the pleasure that it provides you.
When you find yourself looking out designs for sheds it is vitally vital to consider the quantity of storage space that you’ll retailer your objects in like all little giant equipment like a garden mower or perhaps a small tractor. An excellent shed design will make it less complicated for you to herald or get out your gear. That is an essential component of any backyard or barn shed and likewise to make sure that it will work to your profit you need to construct it correctly.
Now that you’ve determined how much time and house you must dedicate to your new backyard. It’s essential to work out the place this area is going to be positioned. All herb gardens will benefit from 4 to 6 hours of steady sun. With that in thoughts for those who dwell within the north you in all probability want an area that’s sunnier in the afternoon.

The American Public Works Association (APWA) is proud to announce the City of Ventura has won APWA’s 2023 Public Works Project of the Year Award. Award winners publicly developed, owned, and maintained infrastructure projects that promote excellence in construction management and administration.
“Built in 1961, Arroyo Verde Park spans 129 acres of open space and features a large turf field area, playground, picnic area, hiking trails, and more. In 2017, the Arroyo Verde Park’s main play structure was destroyed in the Thomas Fire,” shared Public Works Director Phil Nelson. “Rather than simply rebuilding the former structure, our Parks Department sought to reimagine the space to make it the City’s first inclusive play area for children of all abilities.”
Primary playground features include structures offering social and play designs using movement and ability, uses topography as a natural playground, offers an open-ended sensory experience, music areas, native landscapes, and more.The American Public Works Association is a not-for-profit, international organization of more than 30,000 members involved in the field of public works. The City of Ventura earned APWA’s 2023 Public Works Project of the Year Award in the Structures category, in the less an $5 million division. The recent July edition of the APWA Reporter, shared highlights of award winners across the nation including the Arroyo Verde Park Inclusive Playground Rebuild.
“Each year APWA receives hundreds of entries for our Project of the Year Awards. It’s always a challenging process to select the winners as so many worthy projects are submitted. The Project of the Year Awards highlights the best projects that showcase amazing collaborative efforts and vision. Congratulations to this year’s winners!” said APWA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Scott D. Grayson, CAE.
An awards and recognition ceremony will take place during the APWA Public Works Expo on Monday, August 28, in San Diego. APWA will recognize this year’s Project of the Year Award winners in a video posted to www.apwa.org on August 30.

Paul Smith’s College: Heron Marsh Trail Professional Guide
Detailed Trail Description from our Guidebook
"This oasis of native species, well- groomed trails, and pristine open space provides a rare and delightful hiking treat.
A testament to sustainable land management and the eradication of invasive species, this trail shows us what New York must have looked like before Europeans arrived with their exotic plants, hitchhiking seeds, and inexplicable attachment to house sparrows.
The Heron Marsh Trail wanders through one exquisite landscape after another, from hardwood and mixed conifer-hardwood forests to pristine wetlands, where pickerelweed and blue flag iris do not have to fight against purple loosestrife and Queen Anne’s lace for a foothold. You may see plants here that you’ve only read about in books, native species that once thrived in New York. Visit here more than once over a range of seasons, and see the forest floor and the expansive wetlands change and bloom with new colors and varieties."


SEBASTIAN – A proposed waterfall for Riverview Park could be an eye-catcher for motorists heading north on US 1 through Sebastian.
Sebastian Councilman Richard Gillmor has suggested a rocky waterfall for the southwest corner of the park, near US 1 and Harrison Street as part of the city’s gateway enhancement project. How much a waterfall as suggested would cost has not yet been determined.
The Sebastian City Council, sitting as the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, will meet Wednesday starting at 6 p.m. to discuss the gateway project, among other improvements throughout the downtown and waterfront areas.
The city’s staff is expected to make a presentation for directional signage throughout the districts, helping residents and visitors alike find their way to points of interest.
The current staff proposal could cost the city $25,000 for landscaping, sign enhancements and “trail blazer” signs. The expense would come from the city’s CRA funds.
In August, the Sebastian Council/CRA discussed spending as much as $250,000 in CRA funds to redo the city’s welcome signs and construct visual points of interest to mark the entrance to the downtown and waterfront zones.
The council, however, decided against the large expenditure and agreed that sprucing up what the city already has and adding directional signs should be the way to go.

Strolling through the neighborhoods of downtown Franklin is a relaxing endeavor, largely because of the beautiful gardens and yards.
This is what downtown residents Bob and Lisa Ravener were thinking as they walked through their neighborhood one day.
They paused to admire Lynne and Tony McAlister’s yard on Fair Street, shaded by a spreading maple tree and bordered by hydrangea bushes. Lynne McAlister is the president of the Downtown Neighborhood Association, where Bob Ravener serves on the board.
“We were struck by the beauty that is in Lynne’s yard,” Bob Ravener said. “When you see something like that, it can’t help but make you feel better.”
Inspired, he approached Lynne McAlister about finding a way for interested residents to better align their yards with the local environment, including attracting native pollinators and reducing harmful invasive species.
In his research, Bob Ravener came across the Tennessee Smart Yards program through the University of Tennessee’s Institute of Agriculture. State residents have had the ability to complete the certification on their own for several years.
“What is compelling for the statewide program is, they hadn’t really contemplated creating a community certification,” Bob Ravener said.
He reached out to Dr. Andrea Ludwig, who heads the program at the university’s agricultural school, and she put him in touch with the Williamson County field rep, Taylor Reeder.
There is a small circle of DNA members who have begun Smart Yard certification, and a larger group who have begun to show interest, Bob Ravener said.
Creating a Smart Yard
One of the people working to create a more natural landscape is Janeth McKendrick. A resident of Rebel Meadows, she responded to a DNA survey asking what kinds of programs or emphases residents would like to see.
“I wrote that my aim is to have less lawn and more native pollinator plants,” she explained.
McKendrick’s husband died 15 years ago; for her, the garden is a place of peace and joy.
One of the first steps in reaching Smart Yard certification is to send a soil sample off to be tested. McKendrick’s soil was healthy, though others might need to add chemicals to balance pH levels.
The Smart Yard program also includes a workbook with ideas for how to handle water runoff, create habitats for birds and insects, and reduce invasive species, which choke out native plants and lead to depleted soil quality.
McKendrick has worked to rid her yard of invasive species and plant more native pollinators, like milkweed, which is the only plant monarch butterfly caterpillars eat as they grow.
Some of her favorite plants are the native vines, orange milkweed, black-eyed Susans and herbs, which also attract pollinators.
Roger Walters is a consultant with Chevron, but when he’s not working, he enjoys spending time in his backyard in downtown Franklin.
When Walters and his partner, Alan Simms, purchased their home on Lewisburg Avenue in 2011, they spent several years renovating it before moving in. Walters said he spent time working with a landscape architect to design the yard, which features lots of pine needles that don’t require frequent watering and are dog-friendly.
They also have native trees, including red maples and apple trees. The central feature is a rock garden with a small waterfall that helps distribute rainwater. And Walters is proud that he recently received a bird sanctuary certification.
When he heard about Smart Yards through Bob Ravener, he was worried he might have to make a lot of changes to comply.
“I’d actually done like 80% of what they’d recommended,” he said.
Walters encourages people who are interested in making their yards smarter to think about their favorite plants they see out in nature. There are several local nurseries where people can find native Tennessee plants for their yards.
“Go out in the woods and see what you like, then look it up online,” he said. “I think the biggest thing is, you don’t have to do it all at once. Decide what it is you really want out of it, and build it in over a couple of years.”
Part of the Smart Yard educational effort includes a one-page monthly newsletter, launched in March, sent out in conjunction with the DNA’s regular news blast that goes to around 700 people.
DNA gardeners have also connected with groups like the Master Gardeners and Habitat Connection to gain insight into different practices for beautifying and preserving the land.
Though the program has been publicized to downtown Franklin neighbors, its proponents want to spread awareness to all Franklin and Williamson County residents to build a better, more natural landscape.
A member of the Friends of Franklin Parks board, Bob Ravener hopes to incorporate the Smart Yard program within city parks.
McKendrick is optimistic others will want to join in creating a healthier landscape.
“I thought this was a marriage made in heaven,” she said. “What city would possibly be better to advertise?”


Creeping Fan-flower Scaevola hookeri is a prostrate, matting herb that roots at the nodes, with softly hairy stems and leaves. The single fan-shaped, one-sided flowers are white to pale blue with yellow throats from November to March. Coast Fan-flower is found scattered in coastal heathland and woodland but is more commonly found colonising bare moist ground in the alpine areas. At Venus Bay it occurs on the secondary dunes.
Creeping Fan-flower is an attractive ground cover that can act as a living mulch, with a spread of about 1 metre. Most attractive in flower, the foliage is suitable for rockeries or makes a good border.

Planting time for everygreens
I have two very mature pyramidal arborvitae everygreens (35-40 years old) and they have seen their better days, so I am going to remove them and replant some evergreens. When is the best time to do that, Spring or Fall? I would think that they need to get good rooting before winter, so they can survive. They will be on the North side of the house and am also wondering which would be the best evergreens to plant there. Thank you Brent Jordahl Roseville
Ramsey County Minnesota
The quote is from the following URL:
"Evergreens should be planted in spring, summer or early fall. While deciduous plants can be planted later in fall, evergreens benefit from having some time while the soil is relatively warm to start to become established. "
Planting tips are included in the below:
The following will give you some good ideas on what to plant:
Best of luck with replacing your evergreens.


The Holy City's Urban Nature
Rebirth of the Holy Land
Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, is an important part of Judaism and there is no better example of this commandment at work than the community gardens of Jerusalem. During my time in Jerusalem, I was able to see four different community gardens that were thriving with life. These gardens were sitting in areas that were previously barren. This land had been destroyed and discarded by development and either left desolate or filled in with trash. It was inspiring to see how the different neighborhoods became fed up with those areas and worked with SPNI to cultivate the land. Colorful gardens emerged from bleak areas.
One garden was previously a small landfill. The people that lived nearby not only built a garden, but also used the materials there to build ovens, arches, and artwork. They held festivals and community gatherings in their newly built garden.
It wasn’t just the land that was reborn; it was the community as well. Communities were brought closer together. Schools taught children the importance of building something from nothing through the gardens. Those that were retired had an activity that gave them a sense of purpose.

New beach boardwalk creates mega coastal pathway
A NEW pathway connecting a well-used stretch of Sunshine Coast beach will enable residents to walk, run or cycle uninterrupted.
The elevated boardwalk, which connects Bells Creek to Golden Beach, includes a viewing platform and bar stools nestled in the rehabilitated Bokarina bushland.
Sunshine Coast councillor Peter Cox said the vision of a "diversifying recreational experience" came to life.
Mr Cox said the one-kilometre pathway integrated beaches, views and nature, and was designed to align around the native trees.
The structure is the largest length of Coastal Pathway constructed on the Coast at any one time. It extends from beach access 238 to 242.
The Coastal Pathway is the region's most popular shared pathway and extends 73 kilometres.
"I've already received many positive comments from locals about how much easier it has made getting to the beach and exploring the beautiful coastline," he said.
"The new section of pathway is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of our coastline."
The expansion of the Coastal Pathway is guided by council's Coastal Pathway Linear Open Space Master Plan, available on council's website.

Who knew that a new drive will bring such pride and joy!.
Like converting a garage into a new room, this is a sensible way to add more useable space to your property and subsequently add value too, so what’s not to love about the idea of installing a new drive
The construction of a new drive can provide the opportunity to redesign the existing land, immediately creating additional parking, further turning space and another place for the kids to play outside too.
Beautiful paving, bold kerbs, clean lines and edges, lighting and good landscaping of the front garden, all contribute to creating a sense of space, a real ‘welcome statement’ to your home.
There are so many choices for creating a stunning new drive and Mango Paving & Landscaping Exeter will help you see how colours and textures can complement the style of your home with a free visualisation.

A permanent structure can last for several decades; building a permanent structure is seen as an investment. Like all other structures, a well-built gazebo can last long. Some people who don’t own a gazebo are doubting if the gazebo is a permanent structure or not. This article will clarify that doubt; follow along as I explain further.
A gazebo is a freestanding outdoor structure; you can also attach it to a building. Gazebo makers build a gazebo with partially open sides, although you can choose to cover the sides with a screen wall or curtains. The most telling feature of a gazebo is its shape; you can easily recognise a gazebo when you see one.
A gazebo can be a circular, square or rectangular shape. Some homeowners even build theirs in a hexagonal or octagonal shape. The gazebo can be small or large, depending on how wide your yard is or your choice. You can also use any materials like wood, metal and vinyl if you want to install a belvedere in your home. The gazebo roof provides full coverage from the sun; gazebo makers may cover the gazebo top with a hard or soft roof material depending on the type of gazebo you want.
Types of Gazebo
The hardtop gazebo is a type of outdoor structure with a hard roof. Gazebo makers create the gazebo roof with material like metal, wood or PVC; these types of material are strong and long-lasting. In most cases, gazebo builders also use the same material used to make the roof to create the gazebo structure. Builders use metals like aluminium and steel in making the hardtop gazebo. Other materials used in making a hardtop gazebo like pinewood, cedarwood and redwood are long-lasting; they can last for decades. A gazebo made with vinyl can also be used for several years and require little maintenance.
The hardtop gazebo is a permanent type of gazebo; the material is strong to withstand any climatic conditions. If you own a hardtop gazebo, you can use it all year round. They are not easily prone to damages when properly maintained. Even in winter periods with heavy snowfall and frost, you can still use a hardtop gazebo.
The gazebo can serve as a shade from the sun and the rain; you can also use it as a place to relax while enjoying the cool breeze. If you are the kind of person that likes entertaining friends, the hardtop gazebo is the ideal spot to use. You can customise a hardtop gazebo to suit your needs by adding accessories like a ceiling fan, bulb, potted plants, screen wall, curtains, drapes and more.
Soft top Gazebo
As the name implies, the soft top gazebo is a gazebo with a soft roof; gazebo makers create this type of gazebo roof with light materials. Gazebo builders use materials like fabric or nylon to make the gazebo cover. The soft top gazebo has a lightweight framework. A common type of soft top gazebo is the pop-up canopy, garden canopy, tents and so on. Some pop-up canopies have a powder-coated aluminium or galvanised steel frame and a canvas or polyester roof.
The soft top gazebo can not withstand different climate conditions like the hardtop gazebo; hence they are for occasional use. If you own a soft top gazebo, you should not use it throughout the year, especially in winter. Gazebo experts design the soft top gazebo for temporary use; the gazebo is folded into a compact size when not in use. Ensure you store the gazebo in a dry place when not in use to prevent it from damage.
Is the Gazebo Permanent?
Considering the various types of the gazebo, we can see that the gazebo can be a permanent structure and a temporary structure. The Hardtop belvedere can last for decades; hence it is a permanent structure. Simultaneously, the soft top gazebo, which is for occasional use, is a temporary type of gazebo.
Benefits of a Gazebo
- Installing a gazebo in your backyard will enhance your home as well as add value to your property. If you are contemplating increasing your property worth, building a gazebo is an excellent choice.
- The gazebo can shade you from the sun on a hot day. It can also prevent you from getting soaked when it rains. If you own a pop-up gazebo, you can easily put it up anywhere when needed.
- A gazebo in your garden can serve as a place for relaxation while enjoying the view of your garden. Simply enjoy your day by relaxing alone in your gazebo if you want some privacy. The gazebo can serve as a place where you can enjoy your evening reading or meditate without distractions.
The gazebo is a permanent structure and a temporary structure, depending on the type of gazebo. While a hardtop gazebo is considered a permanent structure, soft top gazebos are not.

There are many benefits to having a landscape company which truly can provide full landscape services all under one roof. When you have only one company maintaining all your landscape needs it is so much easier to know who to go to when you have a new project that you want to start. There is no more need to look around the web for one company to do the maintenance, one company to do drainage work and another for rock work, we at Smithwell are able to provide multiple services and specialty requests. You could have one company take care of all your landscape needs.
Many people are very hesitant about hiring new companies for work since they are unsure of the quality of work and because they don’t want to have a few different companies around the property. The advantage of having Smithwell care for all the landscape projects is that it provides us the opportunity to truly build a relationship with our clients based on trust and the quality that we deliver.
There are many projects that don’t fall under the basic landscape categories. Below are a few of the specialty services that we offer,

- – Drainage work
- – Retention pond modification
- – Seeding
- – Erosion control
- – Rock work
- – Garden Boxes and much more

With a snip and a shout, City of Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Vice Mayor, Steven Hansen and reps from Downtown Sacramento Partnership, and Old Sacramento celebrated the completion of the Front Street Embarcadero.
This milestone event celebrated the collaborative effort among City officials, the business community, and partners to revitalize the waterfront. The ceremony kicked off summer events and activities in the historic district and highlights the vision of waterfront activation.
The project consisted of rehabilitation of the waterfront walkway between J Street and Neasham Circle, west of Front Street. Worn out boards at the end of their lifecycle were replaced with stamped concrete, a more durable, and safer alternative that still feels like wood.


Published at Friday, 20 September 2019. Backyard. By Namo Neufville.
The exotic, tropical look of your backyard resort will be achieved by combining a wide variety of shapes, forms, colors, and textures. Banana plants with their large dramatic leaves, beautiful foliage plants like coleus and gingers, open and airy ornamental grasses, beautiful climbing vines, and tropical blooming plants all have a place. What may surprise you is that there is also a place for many of our more cold-hardy and traditional landscape plants. Uniformity and normality are out; randomness and whimsy are in.
If you are a more adventurous host, then you may add zest to your party by having games. This might take a bit more time in planning but your guests will surely have fun. Trivia games and giving away simple tokens will make your party worth remembering. Parties are very common and you want your party to be different. Make it as fun as possible by hiring some professional party entertainers like magicians or clowns. This is not only for kiddy parties but for adults as well.
Backyard landscaping can not only enhance the appeal of your home, but it can also increase the value of your home. Additionally, landscaping is a great form of exercise. Well thought out backyard landscaping can even help reduce your energy costs. Creating a windbreak with trees can keep your house warmer in the winter. And planting trees close to the house can provide cooling shade in the summer. Of course, all backyard landscaping ideas should start with your personal and family styles in mind. If possible, ask the whole family to brainstorm ideas for your backyard. This can help create a place that everyone in the family enjoys in their own personal way. It is a great way to spend time with your family, as well.

If you are feeling a bit stir crazy due to the old-fashioned Minnesota winter we have been experiencing, you can break out of the craziness by using the last part of the winter to design a new fresh look for your landscape. It can be liberating to experiment with pencil and paper – sketching out different new layouts for an area of your landscape that has become old, tired or overgrown.
Give yourself permission to jot down all of the ideas that come to you, a list of your likes and dislikes and some broad brush vision of what you are hoping for. Then quickly do several quick rough sketches that translate your ideas into a simple layout. Initially don’t worry about what’s right or wrong, striving instead to just get your ideas on paper. Once you have a few rough diagrams on paper, put them away for a couple of days, and then pull them out and review your brainstorming concept sketches. Over a period of days or weeks, pull together the most satisfying ideas and fine tune into your final plan.
If this seems like an exercise that you just don’t want to do – Knecht’s Nurseries and Landscaping offers some help. Our Landscape Designer, Amy Voight, has a great depth of experience designing landscapes that are custom tailored to the wants, needs and tastes of each family she works with. We can assist you with on-site consultations & advice, landscape design and installation. These services are detailed on our Landscape Page. Simply contact our office either by phone or on-line and we can arrange an initial consultation. Pre-season planning makes it possible to see the landscape of your dreams become a reality during spring or early summer. Give us a call today and we’ll get the ball rolling.

Upgrading the look and feel of your outdoor living area? Feeling inspired, and ready for a creative redesign project that will enhance the ambience of your external space? If you’ve always loved the smooth textures and myriad possibilities of porcelain paving, we’re here to take you on your next big landscaping adventure – because porcelain tiles aren’t just meant for the kitchen!
We’ve put together a list of five beautiful ways you can use porcelain to improve, transform, or completely reimagine your property’s hardscaping, from indoor/outdoor flooring to stunning decking, and beyond – all the way to your poolside area!
1. Take the Indoors Outside
With porcelain paving, it’s easy to keep a consistent look flowing from the indoors to the outdoors of your home. Carrying the same décor from your kitchen to your garden is one way to create an inviting atmosphere throughout the whole of your property, and an airy sense of space even if you have a smaller property. We like Global Stone’s Porcelain ‘Trento Internal’ Silver for this effect, and they are perfect inside and outside.
Natural Paving’s Porcelain ‘Vitripiazza’ Nerali line of paving creates a similar sophisticated finish if you’re looking for low absorbency pavers, and with Brett’s Porcelain Geoceramica ‘Mosaik’ Grigio, simplicity is key. With indoor/outdoor paving, you can also enjoy the durability of outdoor tiles inside your kitchen, for a much longer life without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal of your inside area.
2. As Outdoor Wall Tiles
Porcelain is also an effective way to clad unsightly outdoor walls if you’re tired of looking at worn-out cement or bare patches. Professionally finished walling can vastly enhance the appeal of your outdoor living area, and with porcelain, it’s simple to create a sleek surface that’s easy on the eye. Fans of neutral hues will love Global Stone’s Quartz Iron range of porcelain wall cladding. For those after a warmer, more summery climate, the Quartz Gold collection has a lot to offer if you’re wanting to upgrade your walling!
3. As an Alternative to Wooden Decking
Wooden decking has a classic, inviting look and feel – but what if you could add instant charm and elegance to your patio or decking with porcelain pavers? Modern properties, in particular, can benefit greatly from the added sense of space and the cool climate that porcelain decking imparts. We're big fans of Brett Paving's Porcelain ‘Elegante Timber’ slabs in Vintage Oak. Without any fading, splitting, cracking or wearing, you can enjoy the aesthetic appeal of sleek, timeless oak. And unlike classic wood, these porcelain pavers are mould-resistant, easily cleaned, and hold their own against moss damage. They work amazingly with all kinds of classic lawn furniture, and set a warm climate if you're wanting to entertain guests outdoors all year round!
Attractive alternatives Marshall Paving’s Porcelain ‘Symphony Plank’ Birch tiles, which have a lighter wood effect, and Global Stone’s Porcelain ‘Albero’ Oak slabs. Each of these has an aesthetic that’s reminiscent of authentic wood, with a much longer life, and none of the hassle!
4. Create Permanent Seating Areas or Steps
If your outdoor area is where you love to relax, porcelain’s versatile nature also makes it a great choice for permanent steps. While your guests may be very welcome on your patio or porch, you probably don’t want them on the plant beds – and that’s where Marshall Paving’s Porcelain ‘Symphony Vitrified’ Cherry or Stonemarket Paving’s Ceramic ‘Knotwood Vitrified’ Birch line of porcelain pavers can be used to best effect. Create gorgeous pathways or sitting out spaces that just like aged, elegant wood, while keeping your surfaces even.
5. As a Pool Deck or Pond Surround
Pool areas can also be taken up several notches with the stylish look and practical functionality of porcelain pavers. Many porcelain slabs also come with matching pool coping, step coping, and feature kit options, allowing you to maintain a uniform texture across larger areas. We recommend Talasey's Porcelain 'Vitripiazza Anno' slabs or the 'Vitripiazza Stile' range. These work exceptionally well in both traditional and contemporary style homes, and we couldn’t be bigger fans of Brett’s Porcelain Geoceramica ‘Marmostone’ Black flooring if you’re into neutral darker shades.
With porcelain tiling, your renovation options are endless. There’s no reason for your premium slabs to stay indoors, and nothing is stopping you from getting creative with your walling, poolside areas, or decking. What look are you going for this season?


The Land Life Company is committed to responsible land investments. Beyond a proper local stakeholder model, they strive for a healthy balance between productive land and nature. Also, they aspire to contribute to ecosystem restoration, where principles like native species, biodiversity and mosaic landscape design apply. For productive areas the company is committed to projects that reserve sufficient space for eco-agro zones (mix of areas of productive and native trees). The main focus is on developing strong, stress-resistant trees using mycorrhiza fungus, reducing the need for irrigation, fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
Land Life continuously innovates on the COCOON and planting methodology to improve performance, reduce costs, simplify logistics and adapt to different climate conditions. At their research facility in Amsterdam the parts of the hardware, e.g., different types of wicks and paper material are tested.
Acting as a tree incubator the COCOON nourishes tree seedlings, resulting in high survival rates. It is extremely water efficient as well. The COCOON comprises of a biodegradable water reservoir, buried in the soil surrounding the tree’s roots. Water is slowly released so that losses by evaporation and weeds are prevented. It also includes a shelter protecting seedlings against direct sunlight, desiccating winds and small animals. The COCOON builds on natural principles and well-proven technologies. The design and production process have been optimized to increase the quality of the product and reduce its cost.
Through the planting process, the company also conducts soil tests to better understand planting conditions and to determine what interventions, if any, are required. Based on this analysis, they consult experts to identify what type of mycorrhizae is needed.
On Sept. 11, 2015 the Cocoon won the prestigious Green Challenge award (Postcodeloterij) for the world’s most innovative and promising sustainable initiative.

If you want to have the great relaxing area for your home, a custom pool can be a good investment. Custom pools can give you everything you want in a pool and more. You can have water features that make it attractive, as well as things like spas for relaxing or slides and diving areas for fun. You can even have a exercise area or beach added to your custom pool. Here are some of the essential features that you will want to add to your custom pool.
1. Water Features to Help Create Cool Relaxing Areas
Water features can be a great addition to any pool. They can be simple waterfalls and fountains or they can be custom designs. If you want to create a cool relaxing area in your pool, you can have the waterfall feature made over open water to have a cool place to relax in the mist of the waterfall of your custom pool.
2. Beach Areas to Enter Pool Instead of Conventional Stairs
Beach areas can also be a great feature to add to a custom pool design. If you do not want to have conventional stairs in your pool, the beach can be made for the shallow area and getting in and out of the pool. This can also be another great place to relax and enjoy the sun. It can also give you a wading area for your pool when you just want to get your feet wet.
3. Submerged Seating to Add Entertainment
If you plan on entertaining, you may want to have submerged seating added to your pool design. This can be great for a barbeque area. The seating can be in the water, and you can have a service area in a dry area outside of your pool. This can be great if you want to enjoy a drink while relaxing and cooling down in the water.
4. Recreation Features with Slides and Diving Areas
You may also want to recreation for your custom pool. You may want to have stuff like slides and a diving area. This can be done with rock features around your pool. Rocks make an attractive design feature that can also be used for recreational features. You may also want to consider a current generator to give you an exercise area for your pool.
These are some of the things you may want to have added to your custom pool installation. If you are ready to have a custom pool installed for your home, contact a custom swimming pool builder and ask them about including some of these features in the design of your pool.Share


The City of Burnsville is updating the Heart of the City (HOC) Design Framework, originally established in 1999. For over 20 years the Design Framework has guided private development and public realm design in the District toward the community’s vision of an attractive, vibrant, and pedestrian-friendly district.
With new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations under construction and redevelopment happening on key sites in the District, the City has recognized this unique opportunity to update the HOC Design Framework’s principles, standards, and guidelines.The Framework Update will build on this momentum and incorporate new best practices in mobility planning, stormwater management, and placemaking.
Updating the HOC Design Framework offers an opportunity to reengage with community stakeholders, evaluate existing conditions and policies in the District, and update the vision, policies, and guidelines to better reflect community values and support goals of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

How Do You Choose a Seawall Design?
There are many types of seawall design out there. But choosing the one right for your shoreline can be challenging. After all, do you go for a simple and practical steel seawall? Or perhaps some eco-friendly rip rap?
Each seawall design has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. But there are many factors you must consider before making your decision. These include cost, aesthetics, shoreline conditions, and more. But if you’re new to the world of seawalls, then you might not know how to navigate this unfamiliar market.
Luckily, Seawalls Unlimited is here to help!
If you’re looking for a seawall but aren’t sure how to choose a design, don’t worry! Here’s a list of questions to help you decide.
What Type of Water Will Your Seawall Surround?
When choosing a seawall design, you must first consider the body of water it will border. Factors like size, depth, salinity, and currents all play a major role in seawall construction.
For example, the calmer the water, the less stress on the seawall. So, if your property borders a small pond or a quiet stretch of lake, you can use rip rap with stones as small as 3” to 6.” But if you border a river or an inland lake, you might want larger 6” to 12” stones. Likewise, sturdier structures like outcropping or steel lend themselves to rougher waters.
Also, you should consider salinity. For example, if your property borders saltwater, you might avoid a steel seawall, since these are best-suited to freshwater.
What Conditions Face the Shoreline?
Next, consider the conditions of the shoreline. Think about the slope of the shore and how much human activity it withstands.
For example, does the water see a lot of boat wake? If many crafts pass at high speeds, they create large wakes that might cause erosion to your shoreline over time. No-wake zones are safe for using small-stone rip rap. But areas with excessive wake might require a sturdier seawall design. In these cases, consider outcropping or a steel seawall—which are the strongest.
Also, think about the shoreline itself. Is the soil sandy, or does it contain mostly silt and clay? Perhaps it inclines steeply, or maybe more gradually? Learn about the installation processes for each seawall design to decide which would work for your shoreline. Steel seawalls can penetrate any soil. So, if you’re unsure about the stability of your shoreline, steel might be the safest choice.
But that’s not to say you can’t use other designs for shorelines with rough conditions.
In fact, for areas with currents strong enough to be dangerous, rip rap creates a barrier between land and water. This safeguard discourages people from wandering too close to the river. Also, rip rap prevents soil erosion and can even restore banks in problem areas. So, it’s still worth looking into if you think the conditions are suitable.
Do You Want Your Seawall to Be Eco-friendly?
Next, consider how important it is that your seawall design is environmentally-friendly.
By far, rip rap is the “greenest” seawall design. Unlike other types of seawall design, rip rap doesn’t block organisms from moving in and out of the water. So, it causes the least harm to animals in your area. Native plant species and some insect species can even colonize on rip rap.
Additionally, rip rap provides the most organic aesthetic because native plants and other vegetation can partially hide it. The stones also appear natural and rough-hewn. So, it’s the best option for blending into the shoreline.
On the other hand. outcropping offers a more stylized look. But it can be just as beautiful. The irregular shapes and sizes of the stone leave many design possibilities depending on the vibe you’re going for.
Which Seawall Design Best Fits Your Budget?
Finally, you must consider the pricing of the different types of seawall design.
First, ask whether you care more about the costs of installation or long-term ownership. In the short-term, rip rap is typically the cheapest because of its simplicity. But steel seawalls have the most extended lifespan of any seawall design. So, choosing steel might save you money if you plan on holding onto the property for a long time.
However, the cost of each seawall type depends on your shoreline as well. Different shoreline conditions such as soil type, incline, and currents affect the kind of seawall you can install.
Hopefully, you now have a better idea of how to choose a seawall design. If you still have any questions, we’d be happy to hear from you! We have 40 years of experience installing, maintaining, and repairing all types of seawalls in McHenry, IL. With our expertise, we can help you choose a seawall design appropriate for your shoreline.

The southeast reform architecture walk is the counterpart to the southwest reform architecture walk. This walk clearly illustrates the efforts of the then city of Essen to combine residential estates with the surrounding green areas. On the way, you will find the Eyhof reform architecture estates – with a central green axis, Grünhof – the Ulmenhof and Altenhof 2 estates. The Essen Stadtwald lies between these estates. The woods already played a major role as a recreation area for stressed city-dwellers in the age of industrialisation. At that time, the city of Essen strived to redesign the existing natural woods to meet the needs of the population. Essen Stadtwald was given trails, the Schiller well and the Schiller meadow ('people's meadow and festival grounds'). A natural theatre was also planned but never completed. Today, you can only see rudimentary remains. All in all, it can be said that, with the Stadtwald, the city of Essen can present a striking example of a forward-looking and modern green area policy.

An international ideas competition in a magnificent Finnish lakeside city29.5.2019
An international ideas competition started off on 15 May 2019 in Viinikanlahti, a highly exciting area close to Tampere city centre. Competitors get to design a housing area of over 3,000 residents on the shores of Lake Pyhäjärvi, as well as a leisure time environment for the locals and tourists. With a population of roughly 370,000, the sustainably growing Tampere is the largest inland city in the Nordic Countries and, together with the neighbouring municipalities, forms the second-largest urban area in Finland.
The aim of the ideas competition, which is open to all, is to create a new and ecologically sustainable city district that boasts high-quality architecture and meets the needs of the 21st century. The competition task is exceptionally interesting: the unique Viinikanlahti area has the most beautiful lake views in the centre of Tampere, but also involves environmental challenges. The size of the competition area (land and water) is roughly 40 hectares. The wastewater treatment plant currently operating in the area will be moved elsewhere. After the competition, both a master plan and a local detailed plan will be prepared for the area. The environment will be cleaned and the new city district constructed in phases between 2024-2035.
The international ideas competition is organised mainly digitally, and is expected to attract plenty of participants from Finland and abroad. A total of 165,000–345,000 euros will be awarded in prizes in the two-phased competition, the winner of which will be selected in April 2020. The competition is organised by the City of Tampere in cooperation with the Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA) and the Association of Finnish Landscape Architects (MARK).
The economy of the City of Tampere focuses on services and high-technology. Innovative, digital, and sustainable smart city solutions are being created in the region together with companies, research institutions, municipalities, and residents. The population of Tampere is increasing by over 3,000 residents a year. New construction is constantly being implemented in the area, and new ecological and low-emission solutions are needed to enable the carbon-neutral and sustainable growth of the city in accordance with its strategy.
