Outdoor light fixtures not only provide necessary illumination for your outdoor spaces, but also serve as decorative elements that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your property. Whether you're looking for wall sconces, post lights, or hanging fixtures, there are plenty of options available to suit your style and budget. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the most popular types of outdoor light fixtures and how they can be used to create a welcoming and well-lit outdoor space.
Types of Outdoor Light Fixtures
Wall sconces are a popular choice for outdoor lighting because they can be mounted on walls or fences to provide focused illumination. They come in a variety of styles, from sleek and modern to traditional and rustic. Wall sconces are often used to highlight architectural features or create a welcoming ambiance on porches or entryways.
Post lights are another common type of outdoor light fixture that can be used to provide ambient lighting in large outdoor areas such as driveways, walkways, and gardens. They can be mounted on posts, poles, or even on the ground to provide illumination from a higher vantage point. Post lights come in a range of styles and materials, including metal, glass, and stone, so you can find one that matches your outdoor decor.
Hanging Outdoor Light Fixtures:
Hanging fixtures are a great option for outdoor dining areas or covered porches where you want to create a cozy atmosphere. They can be suspended from a ceiling or pergola to provide soft, diffused lighting. Hanging fixtures come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from simple lanterns to intricate chandeliers, so you can find one that fits your space and style.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Outdoor Light Fixtures
Style: Outdoor light fixtures come in a wide range of styles, so it's important to choose one that complements the overall aesthetic of your property. Consider the architectural style of your home and outdoor spaces, as well as your personal taste.
Size: The size of your outdoor light fixtures should be proportional to the size of your space. Larger fixtures may be needed for larger areas, while smaller fixtures can be used in more intimate spaces.
Material: Outdoor light fixtures should be made from durable materials that can withstand the elements. Look for fixtures made from metals such as aluminum or copper, as well as glass or stone.
Light Output: Consider the amount of light output needed for your outdoor space. Wall sconces and post lights provide focused illumination, while hanging fixtures offer softer, diffused lighting.
Fixtures are an essential component of any well-designed outdoor space. Whether you're looking for functional illumination or decorative accents, there are plenty of options available to suit your needs. By considering factors such as style, size, material, and light output, you can find the perfect outdoor light fixtures to enhance your property and create a welcoming ambiance for guests.


What grey leaved plants can I put under a holly tree please ? , trunk is 5ft before branches start
Most grey leaved plants prefer sunshine. The furry leaves are an adaptation to cope with lots of heat. So they don't like being in shade although they can cope with it being dry. Silver leaved dead nettle (lamium) seem to like it under the dry shade of my oak tree.
You could try a green leaf that is frosted like Brunnera Jack Frost.


Timber is a traditional material used in many decking installations and other outdoor applications such as cladding, screens and furniture. The natural textures and colours of timber decking compliment almost all environments that it is used in; providing the area a sense of charm, warmth and nostalgia as well.
Timber, when used for decking, should not be varnished. It should rather be oiled to create a lower maintenance application. If timber decking is maintained regularly, it can last for years to come. To provide multiple colour options and different effects to any type of timber deck, stains can be added to oils if you wish. Alternatively, timber can also be left to naturally weather over time.


Who would have thought that the Italian Cypress you planted under the eaves of the house would reach 100 feet tall?
Or that your ficus would puncture the swimming pool and drop fruit everywhere?
And how about the travelers palm you planted in the narrow strip behind your pool with all the fans perfectly aligned in a row? Now, the fence is down and the fans are growing in different directions up into the power lines.
Sound familiar, folks?
Some plants are runners and others are clumpers. And before you plant anything, you should know the difference. A runner is a plant that can send roots out up to 40 feet in several directions. A clumper stays in a dense cluster and expands slowly.
Invaders can be on your doorstep and over the house before you realize it because our long growing season doesn't give plants any rest.
Most of the following plants should be cut out and disposed of if they are out of control - certain heliconias (such as heliconia psittsacorum), bamboos, clerodendrums, snowbush, and wild vines such as moonvine, air potato, Virginia creeper, skyvine, cucumber vine and some jasmine.
Sometimes valuable plants can be transplanted if they are not too large. Plants with fibrous root systems move well with little worry, but others are more of a challenge.
Recently a reader from Pompano Beach wrote us about problems with a Keith mango that was planted too close to the street. His tree is about 10 feet tall with a 6-inch trunk diameter - a realistic size to transplant with some help.
Mangoes are big trees with large roots, so they should be planted in spots with no overhead wires, septic tanks, sewers or sprinkler lines in the way. They can easily reach 50 feet tall and 40 feet across. Allow for this spacing when transplanting the tree or substitute the dwarf Julie mango, which only reaches 20 feet.
The best time for transplanting is before we get too far into the rainy season. Root-prune before the end of this month. If the tree can be moved in late June or early July, it has the whole rainy season to get established in its new location.
To root-prune, measure 1 foot out from the tree for each inch of trunk diameter or make the ball half the spread of the plant. Using a spade, cut down vertically around the entire root ball. Fertilize with liquid Root Stimulator and Plant Starter by Fertiloam. Use 31/2 tablespoons per gallon of water; water in to the tree's root ball. Consider tip-pruning the tree to minimize wilting.
Water the tree thoroughly the day before you will be transplanting. This will help hold the soil together during the dig.
Here are some additional hints:
* Dig carefully so the root ball does not fall apart. Use the shovel with the back facing the plant to avoid lifting uncut roots and loosening the root ball.
* Carefully remove soil from around the root ball to a depth of about 20 inches. Cut any roots with lopping shears or hand pruners to avoid shocking the root ball. You can start to shape the root ball and remove any protruding roots. Undercut the root ball, carefully cutting off individual roots under the plant. You can gently tip the plant to feel for these roots.
* When the plant is completely separated from the surrounding soil, gently tip the root ball over and insert a roll of organic burlap that will decay naturally under the ball. Lean the root ball over in the opposite direction and unroll the burlap under the plant.
* Pull the burlap up around the root ball and secure tightly with nails. Use rope to additionally hold the root ball together. Remove about one-half of the tree's green volume to make it easier to handle. Carefully remove the root ball and dolly it to the new location. Do not pull on the trunk or the root ball may fall apart.
* Dig the new hole ahead of time. Make it about 1 foot deeper and wider than the root ball. Improved soil containing peat moss and compost mixed with existing soil can be added at the bottom of the hole; gently compact it.
* Install the tree at the same level as it was before. Fill the hole to three-quarters and water thoroughly. This will remove air pockets in the soil.
* Untie rope and pull burlap and rope away from the trunk. Add the rest of the soil to the hole and add more water. Create a soil dam around the plant to hold the water so it is concentrated over the root system. Water every day if there is no rain for two to three weeks then back off as the tree starts to root in and get established. Watch for wilting, which will be an indicator that water is necessary.
* A one-half strength treatment with the liquid Root Stimulator will help the tree to get established more quickly. Use about 2 tablespoons per gallon of water.

Designing the perfect fire pit….
When it came to this front garden, the entire area was hard surface! Sandstone flagging paving and pebblecrete and concrete pathways dominated the space. The decision was quickly made as a minimum, to turn the space into something a lot more usable, functional and alive with plants!! A main feature of this garden was to be a fire pit! A place to come together, a place to mingle and enjoy the company of others and a focal point of the garden.
When it came to designing the area, there were a few decisions and considerations in the design brief:
- The area must be circular so that any one seated in the area can clearly see and talk too anyone else seated in the area no matter where they sit. This will also mean everyone is an even distance away from the fire
- The area must be sunken to help create intamacy and privacy. We humans like to feel safe and being sunken helps this
- The area can not be too big or too small. Guests need to be a safe distance from the fire yet not too far away they can’t feel it’s radiant heat or too far from each other to be able to communicate
- Recycled hardwood timber posts must be incorporated somehow!?!
- The area must be centred to the existing windows which will soon become sliding doors
- The fire must be smoke free as it will be located near the house and the neighbours
- A mixture of materials in the construction of the fire pit without it looking too busy
With all these considerations a design was penned and the set out and construction commenced. Below are some photos of the early progress as we strived to complete the perfect fire pit!
In the next instalment, we will cover the design solutions to help create the perfect fire pit and tick off all the requirements from the design brief.


The Arlington Landfill team announced today a significant construction project to place a final cap over 22 acres of the southeast portion of the Landfill. This project fulfills a commitment the Landfill made to the community in late 2016. In the coming months, neighbors will see the Landfill team installing the cap’s base layer of engineered soil liner and cover soils, incorporating an irrigation system and drainage structures and planting enhanced vegetation and grass.
As a good neighbor, the Arlington Landfill team worked directly with Viridian developers to design a closure and landscaping plan that fits the community’s look and feel. In fact, the vegetation the team will plant consists of the same variety found in the community, including Texas Mountain Laurels, Crepe Myrtles, Desert Willows, and Purple Muhly Grass.
While the team completes this project, disposal operations will continue in the northeast portion of the Landfill for approximately the next 18 months. Once that section is filled to grade, the Landfill team will place a final cap on it and plant the same enhanced vegetation to maintain a consistent look across the entire slope.
We are honored to be a part of this community and are excited about these developments. We look forward to keeping you informed on our progress. If you have questions or would like to learn more about Arlington Landfill, please visit us online at http://arlingtonlandfill.com/, or email us at Arlington@RepublicServices.com.

Overlooking natural stone in favor of more run-of-the-mill concrete materials when designing your hardscape project is like choosing cold cereal at an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Why choose Tony the Tiger when Eggs Benedict are there for the taking (not to mention bacon and croissants)?
One of the problems, according to Nathan “Hardscape Nate” Fuelleman, is that contractors just don’t know enough about natural stone — and Indiana limestone and American granite in particular — or how best to incorporate them into landscape projects.
To help, we’ve put together the 4-1-1 on granite and limestone and how to include them in your design palette and stand out from the competition.
All About Indiana Limestone
Thanks to the way it’s been formed over millions of years, Indian limestone — which can be found in just two counties in the Hoosier state — gets sawed out of the ground at the quarry and results in a tight, consistent grain.
“You’re able to manipulate it much easier and the grain size makes for more consistent products time and time again,” says Hardscape Nate. Unlike some dolomitic limestones, which form in layers that need to be broken out of the ground, there are no variations in Indiana — or oolitic — limestone.
“You’re not limited by how thick that layer is,” Nate adds.
Because Indiana limestone has a gradient of natural earth tones from its aging, it will accommodate any other material it’s matched with. “It’s the white shirt of natural stones,” he jokes. “You can put it with anything.”
The tightness and consistency of grain, tied to earth tone colors that range from medium grey to a light buff, gives you the ability to hit those nice muted tones, he adds.
INDIANA LIMESTONE – FULL COLOR BLEND ™
QUARRIED IN BLOOMINGTON, IN
INDIANA LIMESTONE – Full Color Blend ™ is a natural, full range compilation of warm buff colors and medium gray tones are present within this historic limestone. Subtle veining meanders throughout the surface creating a unique movement in this medium grained, standard grade stone.
Drilling Down On Granite
The hardest of stones, granite is “the strong dude on campus”. Its density and very tight grains makes it the perfect material for a variety of hardscape projects, which is only limited by its weight. “It’s really that go-to stone for high end projects,” says Hardscape Nate.
Granite’s wide-ranging palette is what really separates it from other materials, as you can use the same stone for a project and get all different shading. “You can go from great accenting in dark, rich tones — the black and deep burgundies — all the way through to the softer and lighter, elegant whites.”
Woodbury Gray granite pavers offer striking texture and superior slip resistance and are available in many standard sizes, thicknesses and finishes.
The naturally occurring variations are based on where the stone is formed geographically, which can result in beautiful striations of different minerals. The result? A color range that can stretch from milky, quartz-like whites to pinky salmon shades all the way to rich black tones.
“The awesome thing about granite is that you can get just about any color you want — from your field colors all the way to banding, accents and inlays,” he says. “You can use the natural variations in color within the same stone type. With pre-cast you’re limited by the hue you’ve selected. It doesn’t have natural variations like natural stone. Highlighting different elements in the project with color helps pull your eye across the finished installation.”
WOODBURY GRAY ™ Granite
QUARRIED IN WOODBURY, VT
WOODBURY GRAY ™ granite is a salt and pepper, light gray granite, with a medium tight grain and a consistent color. The stone is known for its durability in all weather conditions, slip resistance and classic appearance.
Pulling it all together: how to add natural stone to your hardscape design
Now that you know a little more about why natural stones are the perfect fit for landscape design, let’s see specifically how to incorporate them into a landscape project:
Indiana Limestone pavers and steps in Full Color Blend blend gently with natural surroundings and remain cooler underfoot than concrete or composite surfaces.
Steps, Treads & Walkways
Indian limestone gives an unimposing feeling on steps and treads — think the old world feel of New England townhomes that used the material to welcome guests with its muted tones and textures, Nate says. “It gives that elegant entryway where you want to focus on potentially other elements.”
Where Indiana limestone will work in basically any setting and conform to the design style, granite is going to give more of a rustic vibe. “Granite is the favored material in a more wooded or rustic setting,” he said.
These rustic garden steps in Woodbury Gray™ granite are durable in all seasons and add a finished look to both natural and formal landscapes.
Walkway construction, which is typically made up of field pieces installed within an accent band that provides direction and movement, is a lot like steps and entryways. You can create visual interest with varying textures like, contrasting split face steps with smooth pavers.
Patios & Pool Decks
Indiana limestone has a number of advantages when used as your main patio material like its color palette — those gentle earth tones pretty much complement any style of house. But more importantly, Hardscape Nate said, the softer, warmer-toned limestone will be the perfect companion to almost any home’s exterior, whether it’s aluminum siding, brick or even industrial steel.
For pool decks, Indiana limestone is a family-friendly material. Its smooth surface provides an easy walking surface for young children and older adults. The lighter color tones have a low SRI (Solar Reflective Index) value, so it’s not really absorbing the heat and is friendly to barefooted guests. “It’s perfect for the back patio that doesn’t have a pergola and is taking on full sun and they’ve got kids who are going to be running around without their shoes on,” Nate says.
The beauty of granite is that it’s going to give you those color options and tend to be tighter and heavier in feel, he says, “which makes it the perfect material for a more grand, expansive area. We’re not talking 400 square feet but 1,500 to 2,000.”
Granite is also the right choice to use for a patio if the homeowner likes to entertain. “Its really tight grain, texture, and density won’t absorb a spilled glass of wine nearly as easily as other materials.” And it looks luxurious when used for pool coping.
The classic tones of Woodbury Gray™ granite pavers support the elegant design of this New England poolscape. Homeowners appreciate that they will last generations.
Nate says, granite’s best features are its versatility and durability. “I see granite being used in the driveway application to give that high end, luxury feel. From ski cabin in the mountains to high end modern downtown Chicago home.”
Even though granite can be a workhorse of a stone — lending a durability to projects to help them stand up to heavy traffic and resist staining — it’s also a timeless material, he said. “I mean, it is Roman after all.”
Snap-to-size Indiana Limestone – Full Color Blend ™ wall caps enable contractors to easily create polished projects with less work than bluestone and better results than concrete.
Walls, Caps, Coping & Edging
One of the advantages of using Indiana limestone for landscape walls, caps, coping and edging is its ability to be easily manipulated on site. “You can easily make these pieces any length you want,” he says, explaining how limestone can be snapped to size and quickly touched up using a rock hammer to restore a nice, chiseled face. The ability to do smooth faced or snap faced wall units and blend them would also give the project’s look “great variety and texture,” he adds.
Because of the tone and texture of Indiana limestone, it’s gives a warm and inviting feel when used to create seat walls, pillars, small planters inside the space. “For further interest you might want to accent it with another material because of its tone,” Nate said.
Hardscape Nate really sees this as the ideal opportunity to mix natural stone materials to really bring a “wow factor” to a patio area using granite, and then softening the look with Indiana limestone. He gives as an example using Indiana limestone paving with a WOODBURY GRAY ™ granite wall to really define the edges of a larger space, then installing the limestone as coping to cap the wall. “That’s going to bring that soft edge to the top and finish off the look by bringing the tone color back and even out the heaviness of the wall,” he says.
With granite, the mass of the stone allows you to build larger gravity walls and seat walls. When it comes to caps, coping and edging, the color tones of granite and the texture that can be achieved when its snapped lend itself to those more accent areas of a patio project. “That’s going to define those structural edges along a walkway or patio that really defines your space and ties other elements, like pillars, together,” he says.
There are endless ways to incorporate natural stone into your landscape vision, which not only bring textural and color beauty to the project, but help make your work stand out from the competition.
Whether you’re looking for just the right material for a full walkway or patio or to add the finishing touches on an entryway, your natural stone choices are a veritable buffet of design choices to choose from. And really, who wouldn’t pick bacon over cold cereal?


You could also include a little bit of marsh to get a much more essential look. The timber log, you could utilize this like an ornamental component to get yard tools. Produce a yard tree table through that either utilize cut timber logs like feces as the sitting location around the balcony. Take a look for another creative ideas below.
When you own a cut plant around the yard, you need to take advantage of the circumstance also usage timber logs idea within a truly innovative means concerning yard style. Please create the aged timber log a really initial floral container through growing various blossoms inside the timber trunk planters.

Working for clean rivers
Multnomah Arts Center Lower Parking Lot Stormwater Project
The Bureau of Environmental Services is working with Portland Parks & Recreation to manage stormwater that flows from the lower parking lot, into stormwater pipes and then to Tryon Creek. Urban runoff carries pollutants to the creek and high runoff volume and velocities erode stream banks. The facilities will collect runoff and allow pollutants to settle out before the water enters the creek. The designs are 90% complete. The project will be constructed in summer 2013.

Cochrane’s Open Space Master Plan has not only receiving rave reviews locally, it’s also being recognized by the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP).
Last week it was announced 02 Planning + Design Inc. won the 2013 CIP award for planning excellence in recreation planning for their work on Cochrane’s Open Space Master Plan. That category includes municipal recreation planning and regional-scale park and conservation area planning.
Suzanne Gaida, senior manager of community services, said it was great for 02 to be recognized for their work.
“O2 was an excellent partner and developed a plan for Cochrane’s open spaces that will serve the community for years into the future,” said Gaida. “We’re thrilled to see this recognition for them and all their hard work.”
Adopted by town council in November, the Open Space Master Plan (OSMP) will see the town designate 22.4 per cent of its land for open space. While a big part of this is the new Riverfront Park, the plan enhance green spaces and puts major emphasis on connecting Cochrane neighbourhoods and the downtown area with pathways.
Currently work is progressing on the Riverfront Park. Ground3, of Calgary, has been doing the groundwork in preparation for upgrades slated to begin this fall. This includes the improvement of pathways (paving some with asphalt and using limestone instead of shale on others); creating new pathways; raising some pathways to alleviate flooding; improving the off-leash area to a multi-use green space; improving the parking area; and implementing fire pits, picnic tables and a play area for recreational day-use. Initial work will start east of Hwy. 22.
One thing that will not happen is the development of a boat launch near the bridge spanning the Bow River on Hwy. 22. The land sought for the launch is controlled by Alberta Transportation and will eventually be utilized when bridge is upgraded to accommodate four lanes of traffic.
Jared Kassel, Town of Cochrane Manager of Planning will attend the CIP conference in Vancouver in July to represent the Town at the awards ceremony.
CIP represents approximately 7,000 planning professionals across Canada and has been dedicated to the advancement of responsible planning since 1919.

We feel it’s time to move outside a bit and catch up on some fresh air and sunshine – and while we’re there, how about we take in another homify 360° discovery? This one comes to us from Southampton-based pros Elks-Smith Landscape And Garden Design whose client was a keen gardener who loves to entertain and relax outside.
Bet you can’t guess what’s coming next…
Even at the front of the house, we can tell that a lot of time and devotion goes into this house’s gardening – just look at that picturesque setting styling up the front façade!
However, we are going to focus more on the breathtaking beauty at the back (and pick up a few tips on what makes this garden so special), so let’s get to it.
Want your garden to stop visitors in their tracks (the good way)? Include personal touches, such as this little timber sign. It can be something as pretty as signs noting which plants or flowers are planted, or something more unique like dedicating each flowerbed to a loved one.
What good is a stunning garden if you can’t sit down in style to enjoy it?
Architects, gardeners, and many more – we have them all here on homify. See our professionals page for more info.
Regardless of how beautiful and colourful those flowers are, if your pathways are untidy, it will pull down the whole garden’s look. This example, fortunately, has nothing to be concerned about.
You don’t need to mix and match various flowers and plants together like this garden has done, but please include some sort of variation, even if it’s just that no two flowerbeds look the same.
Variety is, after all, the spice of life!
Any good gardener knows it’s not only about the greens. A few décor pieces here and there (a stunning potter, a duck pond, some beautiful lighting fixtures, a birdfeeder… ) can make all the difference!
Don’t think you can get away with putting in just any fence – it has to match up with your garden’s style. This one, for example, is a perfect wooden fence that even brings in some motif via its block design.

Althea, also known as hibiscus or tree mallow, is a very ornamental shrub.
In summary, what you need to know:
Last name : Hibiscus syriacus
Family : Malvaceae
Type : Shrub
Height : 1 to 4 m
Exposure : Sunny and partial shade
Foliage : Expired -Flowering : June to November
Maintenance, from planting to flowering, watering and pruning, is easy and will give beautiful blooms to your altheas.
Whether in a pot on a balcony or terrace, or in soil in the garden, althea deserves the greatest care when planting to ensure it growth and beautiful flowering.
Althea in a pot:
Throughout the year, the shrub must be planted in a special soil for flowering plants, planting or universal.
- Althea needs a pot large enough to grow with the seasons.
- It bed of gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the pot will facilitate good drainage and so that the roots do not stagnate in the water.
- The pot must be drilled at the bottom.
- Repotting in the spring and every 2-3 years at most in a pot of slightly larger diameter.
Althea in earth:
Prefer a plantation in autumn, or in spring whether the shrub is sold in a pot or container.
- Prefer a place sheltered from the wind and especially sunny.
- Regular watering the first year after planting is important for althea.
- Follow our advice planting shrubs.
Cuttings is easy to achieve in spring with althea.
You can also simply put stems pruned in spring directly into a vase of water and plant them as soon as a few roots appear.
The size of the altera takes place preferably at start
of spring, towards February March, so as not to compromise the summer flowering.
Althea blooms on the shoots of the current year, which also allows you to prune your althea each year.
However, avoid pruning too late in the season, as this may affect flowering.
- Remove any twigs that grow inward to restore light to the shrub.
- Cut off the remaining stems about 2/3, just above an outward-facing bud.
Things to know about the althea
Althea, also known as Tree mallow, is certainly one of the most beautiful flowering shrubs for a garden but also for a terrace or a balcony.
Although this shrub prefers heat, some species like thehibiscus syriacus adapt perfectly to more temperate climates.
The many species it contains are so many colors and shapes, each more beautiful than the next.
In hedges, in clumps or isolated, the althea will delight you with the beauty of its flowers.
Flowering is also generous and is constantly renewed from July to October and November when the climate remains mild.
Smart tip about althea
A winter cover is recommended from November if you are afraid of frost!


Carefully creating your house’s aesthetic is one of the best parts of being a homeowner. Allowing your home’s exterior to represent your personal style is a great way to add curb appeal, but if you’ve never chosen paint colors or roofing materials before, the process can be pretty daunting.
Your home’s landscaping should be designed with just as much thought as you put into other aspects of your home, and that includes landscape lighting. Landscape lighting may not be something you’ve thought much about before, so here are some handy tips on how to choose your home landscape lighting design style.
Like every other part of your home design, there is no right or wrong. Instead, as the homeowner, you get to choose the style that resonates with you, suits your home, and that you enjoy looking at. Still not sure how to choose? Here are a few different landscape lighting design approaches that you might like.
A minimalist approach is a way to go for those who believe lighting should add to the home’s appearance without drawing attention to itself. This style uses light to highlight the home and landscape’s subtle details. For example, some use ground lights to highlight a footpath or subtle backlighting to accentuate an architectural feature.
A minimalist lighting style is a great way to use subtle, low lights to create a romantic atmosphere. Be careful, though – this style can look “spooky” to some. Opt for subtlety over drama.
However, if you’re a fan of drama, then statement lighting is for you. A statement style uses extra-bright lights or lights that cast a broader coverage to reveal the entire home or a prominent feature. Statement lighting works exceptionally well for homes with topiaries, fountains, or a generally shapely landscape.
Even this bright, bold option can make a home look elegant and stately when lights are carefully placed.
An accent lighting approach uses intense spotlights to draw attention to a home’s unique or beautiful architectural features. Unlike statement lighting, which aims to illuminate large swathes of the house, accent lighting zeroes in on key areas of the home that you’re particularly proud of. To focus on a feature as much as possible, a narrow spotlight should be used so that the lit area can contrast with the darkness around it. However, for most areas that you’d want to highlight, a slightly wider beam can look a bit more natural.
Lighting doesn’t always have to be for a specific design aesthetic. Landscape lighting is also quite beneficial from a safety and security standpoint.

The Marathon Garden Club was organized in 1955 by a group of civic-minded residents who wanted to help improve the appearance of the area. In addition to its community involvement, the club encourages members to improve the gardens and landscaping of their own homes and neighborhoods. Classes are taught by local experts on topics such as floral arrangements, landscape design, conservation, and orchid growing. In addition to ongoing plant sales, the group hosts a Jamboree in January and a House and Garden Tour in March. The club is the only location in the Keys that hosts both a House and a Garden Tour.


At Auroralight we strive to create estate-quality luminaires that bring elegance and illumination to a wide variety of environments and spaces. This is part of why we have been a leader in the outdoor lighting industry for over 25 years. Our fixtures are sleek and modern but also timeless, which matched the needs of a special project in Omaha, Nebraska featured in Landscape Architect. Hear how we helped the lighting designer solve multiple problems presented by this unique installation.
Illuminating Historical Structures and Modern Outdoor Path Lighting
For this project, our products were used to highlight the historical campus of Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart. The campus itself is over 100 years old, and it was in desperate need of a lighting upgrade. The project demanded a clever design that combined strong, dramatic lighting with improved efficiency and modern technology to help offset ongoing costs.
The project was headed by McKay Lighting, and the designer knew from the outset that the best way to improve efficiency was to replace the current high-voltage lights with low-voltage LEDs. Many of Auroralight’s products use high-efficiency LED bulbs as part of our commitment to creating modern but sustainable lighting solutions. This resulted in significant cost savings for the academy and ensures that the lighting can be easily maintained for a long time to come.
Another challenge created by the campus was the presence of old structures as well as large deciduous trees that leave significant leaf debris in the fall and winter. The lighting designer cleverly avoided installing anything directly into the historic structures while still providing a stunning lighting feature for the academy’s stately arch. For the leaf debris, fixtures were placed on risers so there was plenty of room for the leaves to settle naturally and the light fixtures to continue to illuminate the trees above. The products used also include built-in drainage to prevent moisture from building up on the lens and distorting or blocking the light.
The project designers from McKay Lighting also made an interesting and bold choice. They did not use any traditional path lighting. The modern outdoor path lighting they chose to create focused on the trees, buildings, and other significant structures around the campus to draw the eye up rather than focus it on a path. The results are spectacular and highlight the architectural features of the area. To create this effect, the design relied heavily on our robust selection of directional lighting. Some of the fixtures used include our signature luminaire, the SLX16 Mariner, as well as the LSL40 Sitka. Both include our Storm Drain™ Lens Drainage System and are made with solid brass construction.

Introducing a swing to your front yard is a splendid decision, infusing your outdoor space with a touch of leisure and delight. This addition not only cultivates a hospitable ambiance for both dwellers and guests but also empowers you to reimagine your front yard, crafting a space that harmoniously blends functionality and visual allure. It becomes an inviting haven for unwinding and social connections, turning your front yard into a dynamic retreat.
However, there are several factors you should consider before installing a swing to ensure that it enhances your yard’s aesthetics, functionality, and safety. Here are some key considerations:
Local Regulations and Codes: Check with your local municipality or homeowner’s association to ensure that there are no restrictions or regulations regarding the installation of swings or other outdoor structures in your front yard.
Space and Layout: Evaluate the available space in your front yard. Consider the swing’s size and placement to ensure that it fits comfortably without overwhelming the area. Keep in mind the swing’s range of motion to prevent it from hitting walls, trees, or other obstacles.
Aesthetics: Choose a swing design that complements the overall style of your home and landscaping. Whether you prefer a classic, rustic, modern, or whimsical look, make sure the swing’s design aligns with your front yard’s aesthetics.
Materials: Select durable and weather-resistant materials for the swing’s construction. Wood, metal, and plastic are common choices. Make sure the materials are suitable for the climate in your area to prevent premature wear and tear.
Comfort: Prioritize comfort when choosing the swing’s seating material and design. Cushions, padding, and ergonomic designs can make the swing more inviting for relaxation.
Anchoring and Installation: Ensure that the swing is properly anchored to the ground or other structures for stability and safety. Improper installation can lead to accidents or damage.
Visibility and Privacy: Consider how the swing will affect the visibility and privacy of your home. Think about whether you want the swing to be a focal point in the front yard or if you prefer a more secluded and private spot.
Maintenance: Swings exposed to outdoor elements will require regular maintenance. Depending on the materials, you may need to periodically repaint, stain, or treat the swing to prevent deterioration.
Landscaping and Surroundings: Take into account the existing landscaping, trees, plants, and other features in your front yard. Make sure the swing doesn’t interfere with the growth of plants or obstruct any important views.
Safety Measures: Safety should be a top priority. Ensure that the swing is securely installed, with proper support and weight capacity. If you have children, choose a swing that is age-appropriate and safe for them to use.
Neighborhood Considerations: Consider how the swing might impact your neighbors. Will it be visible from neighboring properties? Will it generate noise that could disturb others? Being considerate of your neighbors’ experiences is important.
Weather Protection: Depending on your climate, you might want to provide some form of weather protection for the swing, such as a canopy or pergola, to shield it from rain, sun, and other elements.
Budget: Set a budget for the swing, including its purchase, installation, and any additional features or landscaping changes you plan to make.

Remember the cartoon about Mowgli and Tarzan? What there was the jungle, flexible braided vines, climbing the trunks of trees and a snake on the ground? This is the same properties - scrambling braid, climb up and crawl to the side - and have vines perennial garden. A sort of kind greetings from the jungle. Of course, ennobled and cultivated vines in our gardens is not much resemble the wild inhabitants of the rainforest, but still.
Still, they are similar in that they also need something to lean on something and build something to cling to. And it is this indispensable property of vines in the landscape design. With their help it is possible to make the garden is especially beautiful, decorating unpresentable walls and fences, as well as any vertical, overhead and near-Earth space. What then are the vines for the garden, and what to choose for your paradise? Let's face it.
Botanical especially vines
Liana - it's plants that have whip-like trunks and branches. They can not grow up on their own and need support (that's a "parasitic" way of existence!). Supports for vines are other plants (trees and shrubs), cliffs and rocks, the walls of houses, fences. A garden design for climbers use special miniature bearings: trellis, pergolas, arches.
In order to keep a support lianas use different (sometimes very tricky) devices. Some of them, especially not philosophising, simply wrap around support, others lay down on her long flexible branches. There are those who, such as wisteria, entwine support just the tip. Other vines cling to something special shoots, tendrils (grapes), others are used for these purposes, the roots-sucker (Campsis, ivy).
But regardless of the "method of attachment" all perennial vines can be divided into two main botanical species: woody and herbaceous. First grow like trees, each season renewing and keeping up growth has regrown stems and branches. Herbaceous vines for the winter retain only the root, and their aerial part dies every autumn. In the spring, these vines (as many flowers, perennials) produce new shoots from the root with decorative leaves and beautiful flowers. Incidentally, depending on what it is (flowers or leaves) the attractive or other plant vines can be divided further into two large groups.
Of course, almost all (or almost all) of the plants are blooming! Only some flowers large, bright, bright, and others - are small and inconspicuous. But the "other" as a rule, have a gorgeous foliage, and for which valued in garden design. Notable dekorativnolistvennye vines stands out parthenocissus.
Many gardeners do not particularly read this unpretentious vine, but in vain. First, the plant is extremely frost resistance. Second, the growing parthenocissus very, very quickly. Thirdly, it is absolutely painless transfers pruning, making it easy to monitor its growth and progress in the art of topiary. In addition, parthenocissus - densely leafy vine and allows you to create practically "impenetrable" wall of green and well protected from the sun. In the fall, this vine is so ornate and colorful, which successfully replace any fall color.
Ivy growing "slowly but surely". His curly greens is an excellent cover for the shady corners of the garden. It can be used to decorate the tree trunks, compress on the Alpine hills and in the rose garden. In addition, the Ivy is perfect for vertical landscaping walls, given that it preserves the green color in winter. And in addition, this does not destroy or brick or concrete, or wood
Conditionally dekorativnolistvennye vines (after all, they bloom!) Include hops, Actinidia, Chinese magnolia, honeysuckle-Perfoliate. Honeysuckle flowers short-lived, but it has unusual shaped leaves and bright (but inedible) fruit. Lemongrass and actinides, in contrast, is often grown as a horticultural crops. But hop, of course, beautiful and pyshen. But once set him in his garden, get rid of it you can hardly. Creeping hop roots entangle the entire area, releasing more and more new shoots in all corners of the garden.
So be careful when choosing such plants. They can be very aggressive, and like weeds, will bring you a lot of hassle or even intractable problems. Be sure to check for any surprises or "dirty tricks" are capable of vines that you are going to decorate your garden, using them as green walls or roofs.
Liana with beautiful flowers
Flowering vines in the garden - it's just a godsend for any landscape designer. They can be completely transform any garden, turning it into a work of art. Covered with flowers arches and pergolas and become so-called "twist" or perfectly complement the already established architecture of the garden. They can be used as a groundcover, and for decorating buildings, and make certain elements of the bright terrain.
"The most-most" of them - is climbing roses and clematis. They rightly top the list of flowering vines for the garden. No other plant (from a number of these) are not able to compete with them on the beauty and splendor of flowers bloom. Therefore, it is for them - a little bit more.
Climbing roses. Most types of blooms only once a season, usually at the end of May and June. But they bloom! The plant is just full of flowers - is umopomrachayusche beautiful! And flowers on pletistyh roses can be white, and red, and yellow, and all shades of pink. Let the short term, but your garden (or part thereof) is shrouded in a chic pink foam. The effect is simply stunning! No one can pass by without stopping and admire your climbing rose.
But if such short-term and abundant flowering you feel inadequate, select the type of climbing rose that can bloom all summer. Yes, there are. For example, Rose New Dawn. This vigorous (up to three meters in height) plant with pale pink, almost white colors, which emit a pleasant aroma with hints of apple. The foliage in her dark green, thick and fine, with a glossy sheen. It blooms continuously, and live long. The British parks have roses in this class, which is already more than a hundred years!
Clematis - another prince of your garden. It is believed that the plant is a capricious and whimsical. This is partly true, but, tell me, who is not capricious aristocrats? Given the extraordinary beauty of clematis, some of his whim quite forgivable. The varieties of vines a great multitude, and they are divided into groups: Zhakmana, Lanuginoza Florida Vititsella. On each of these groups, you can talk a lot and forever. Therefore we note only that this classification allows grouping clematis color and shape, and flowers, as well as farming.
Other Flowering perennial vines yield and roses and clematis, but they are no less decorative, and therefore no less popular with gardeners. Campsis - woody vine with openwork foliage and red or orange-gramophones. Wisteria blooms chic pink or lilac brush, but is only suitable for the southern regions. Hydrangea winding will give you blooms in July and August. Its inflorescence in the form of umbrellas reach twenty centimeters in diameter.
In earlier periods (June, July) blooms kalistegiya - herbaceous climber up to four meters in height. It blooms profusely in small (but very attractive) terry white and pink flowers. Azarina - not very high vine, blooming in the second half of the summer until the first frost. Many species of Passiflora (room creeper known) well live in the open ground and are suitable for the garden. The flowers in her large and fragrant, like the representatives of alien flora.
Describe the diversity of perennial vines simply unrealistic. Among them are unpretentious specimens, there are those that will have to tinker. But you should be able to choose what is right for you, and it will be a real decoration of your garden. Because the vines in the garden - it's not only beautiful, but often also useful! So be sure to settle on his site a sort of "greetings from the jungle", and you will certainly be happy with the result.

Comfort Lake property in Watershed District cost sharing program to bring back native plants, natural storm water control
Native plants and rushes would have rimmed the lakeshore at one.
By next year-- that's exactly what there will be...natives flowering and sending up their foliage for the McEvoy clan to enjoy, and from which the lake will benefit.
Diane McEvoy laid out her backyard's new landscape plan with the Chisago County Soil and Water Conservation District. It includes dozens of varieties of plant species.
The plan was okayed by the Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District Board as qualifying for a cost-sharing program promoting Best Management Practices or BMPs.
(The plantings will go in along the lower hill, to the viewer's left of the swinging chair.)
The layout swoops downhill in a crescent and stays to one side of the dock, leaving space to haul boats out of the water and store the dock off the ice in wintertime.
McEvoy said it was important to keep the plantings nearest the swimming area short, so that she can clearly see to supervise the grandkids. At the same time the plantings are to be installed the ramp to the dock will be replaced at the property owner's full expense. Hard-scape is not normally something done under the Watershed District's cost sharing.
The landscaping team works the first few days to kill off the invasive species with hand applied pesticides, and the ground gets prepared for the bedding plants. McEvoy said the spot on the hillside is compacted from when rip-rap was hauled in with heavy machinery, so the ground there needs a lot of prep.
If all goes well, and the weather cooperates, the crews can get everything in before fall and by next spring the shoreline should be moving in the right direction.
Another BMP project supported through the watershed district's program was installed on the opposite side of Comfort Lake from where the McEvoy project is getting underway. The Trandal family residence had a low area where the water and yard were at the same level, and there was no delineation between the lake, lawn or soils. Done last year, this project is featured in photos on the Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District website; along with details of another project using BMP cost sharing near Ashton Lake.
To see if a lakeshore project qualifies for the watershed district cost sharing contact the Soil and Water Conservation District offices in North Branch. Schedule a site visit by calling the 651-209-9753. Refer to the community cost share incentive program.
The design expense is fully covered and done by experts with the SWCD. If you have someone else in mind for the design the cost may be shared up to $500. The materials and labor are split 50-50. The max is $3,000 from the watershed district.
Potential projects that are most important include: erosion control, enhancing wildlife communities, shoreline and streambank restoration and raingardens. Projects that provide public education or allow for collaboration get high priority.
Your project must be within the Comfort Lake-Forest Lake watershed district to qualify for this program. Applications can be downloaded at clflwd.org.


The intent of this program is to discuss and ideate with professional lighting designers various solutions that can now be facilitated in relation to better lighting solutions for buildings, landscapes and residences.

The preliminary lighting plans for the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan site have been completed.
Artistic Producer Will Brooks expects the high-tech LED lights will fit in with the surroundings and make the area shine.
They propose the 450-thousand dollar budget be used on high-tech LED lights to illuminate trees and architectural features around their site while providing safety.
Brooks says they have sensors that will change and adjust the light as people walk by.
He feels the challenge is finalizing a plan that works for them, their partners and the public.
The group will now collaborate with officials at the Meewasin Valley Authority and city to make sure they are all in agreement.
Organizers have raised 1.2 million dollars toward the entire 3.5 million dollar capital plan which plan hope to have ready for the opening of the 2020 season.

PortSide Builders provided us with a variety of options. We chose a design that uses clustering to allow many areas of green space.

Selaginella kraussiana Gold has soft foliage that grows tight and not much more than a few centimetres. They are used in terrariums and green walls as gap fillers, they are good to fill in pockets of space in ferneries or as understories to larger indoor plants. They can also be used between large pavers in a protected area of your garden as golden lawn that you don't have to mow.


Continuity in the Landscape
Of the many elements of a well-designed landscape, continuity is one of the ‘big ones’. But for such an important element, continuity can also be rather difficult to define. It is kind of one of those things that you know it when you see it, and you definitely miss it if it’s not there. But creating it is necessary in creating that feeling of welcome, of warmth and familiarity that exists in great landscapes.
Continuity is one of those things that is very often missing in a landscape in need of a re-design. It’s that feeling of nothing being connected, of the individual pieces not being a part of the whole. One analogy would be the various melodies and ‘hooks’ in a song. The song often repeats these elements in just such a way that is very appealing and catchy. If the writer repeats them too often it’s not good. If a melody appears only once, that’s not good either. So they are mixed in and repeated in just the right way so that the song is a complete piece unto itself, but is also a product of the many pieces that it contains.
Let’s look at one example. I recently did a re-design for a beautiful estate here in middle Georgia. The design had a few obvious flaws, one of which was a lack of continuity. There were lots of nice elements present, but they lacked any connection to each other and to the whole. So, I started with focusing on a beautiful fountain that was already present in the front lawn. It was a large ornamental fountain with ornate ironwork. I added two more (smaller) fountains to the landscape, also with ironwork but in slightly different styles for each one. Then I added a few more subtle ironwork pieces throughout the landscape (garden bench, iron railing along a path, etc.). With each change you could feel the landscape becoming more of an inter-connected environment. There were other challenges than just the continuity issue, but none more important to gaining that ‘feel’ that the client was searching for.
Thank you for reading. Just let me know if you have any questions or comments. I would love to hear from you.

TRUSSVILLE — Work has officially started on the downtown plaza area between Main Street and Linden Street.
The work is part of the overall downtown redevelopment plan, which includes the development of the corner lot into a focal point of the downtown area. There will be a large clock, donated by the Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club. Linden Street will also be revamped and parking will be added to the area.
Sidewalk replacement is the first phase of the project. New lighting will also be installed.
Contractors expect the sidewalk work to take about three weeks to complete. During that time, one lane of Main Street will be closed each day from 6:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Overall, the installation of infrastructure throughout the plaza will take 90 to 120 days.

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.
Now that you know the choices that are out there for backyard fireplaces, as well as the pros and cons, its time to start choosing what you would like and imagine how it will fit in your outdoor living space. Make sure that it fits well into the space available as well as into the scheme of the landscaping. One last thing you might want to think about is if you want to cook on it or just enjoy the fire. Once you have decided all of this, as well as what you want it to look like, you are ready to go shopping and start enjoying your evenings in your backyard even more.
You may even believe that a roof above your patio will do the trick. This will admit you to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather is not so nice. A good way to get the whole family in on the backyard landscaping is to plant trees or flowers together. Help the kids aid with the flowers. Let them each choose a special flower or even a tree and let them plant it in a special place. This is a great way to produce memories and a family backyard at the same time. A great backyard landscaping project can be done in one or two weekends. It can also take longer. Create your own sanctuary by adding your own personality and you have a getaway from the rest of the world. After reading the article above you may ask yourself ”did it take the writer a lot of time to do all of that research?” Well, not really. It’s more like life itself; it’s all about dreams and what we make of them.

Indian Rocks Beach Pocket Park Wins Award
INDIAN ROCKS BEACH — It is such a tiny park to win such a big award.
After years of planning, the Pocket Park at Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham Road is complete and the planning and building of it has won the American Public Works Association West Coast Branch’s Project of the Year — Structure Award for the year 2019.
The park was a vision of the city fathers when they bought an old empty house on the property. They saw then what the property is now: a spectacular entrance to the city as people drive over the Walsingham Bridge onto Gulf Boulevard.
meetings and discussion and debate over just how the park should look.
Now complete, it includes an 8-foot meandering walkway to get pedestrians from Gulf Boulevard to the beach. It includes extensive landscaping, a pergola for shade, bike racks and hidden lighting to help guide the way after dark.
The most spectacular part of the park is the city sign which towers over the entrance to the park and leaves no mistake that visitors are entering Indian Rocks Beach.
All that on a tiny 1/4 acre of land.
City Manager Gregg Mims is as proud of the award as he is of the park.
“It is an awesome award and a lot of people are to be credited for making it happen,” he said. “The project is so important because it is one of the gateways to the city; it emphasizes the importance of that property.”
As often as not involving projects of this size, city residents have differing views. Usually criticism is common, but not this time.
“There has been no pushback,” said Mims. “I don’t recall receiving any negative feedback about the park or the idea of the park or of what the final product is.”
Dean Scharmen, IRB’s director of Public Works, spearheaded the work on the project. He remembered the old house that was on the property.
“It was the old Schmidt house back in the day,” he said. “It became very dilapidated. It got to the point where it was cost-prohibitive to renovate so we bought it from the owner. It was a win-win for everybody.
Scharmen admitted someone else could have swooped in and obtained the property but that didn’t happen and the city was able to proceed with its plans.
“We were trying to get a passive entryway to the city and we had several visioning sessions as to what to do with the property. Once we remade the intersection we tied it all in,” he said.
Scharmen was referring to the makeover of Gulf Boulevard and Walsingham Road at that intersection. New crosswalks were installed, new traffic lights erected and the intersection was reconfigured with new landscaping. With that the area was ready for the park.
The city was helped in the construction and beautifying of the park by Action 2000 the city group dedicated to making Gulf Boulevard an attractive place to visit. The park fitted right into their wheelhouse.
Scharmen, who developed the narrative for the award, said it was special.
“It is pretty humbling,” he said. “Anytime we can get recognition for the city is a positive thing.”
Mims said the city hopes to erect a sculpture in the park in the near future.

Looking for an elegant and functional shrub or small tree for your landscape? Consider Viburnum obovatum, also known as Small-leaf Arrowwood or Walter's Viburnum. This small to medium-sized tree has a broadly spreading crown and can be used as an accent or specimen shrub, informal or formal hedge, or buffer planting. It is widely cultivated and has a moderate growth rate, typically reaching 10-20 feet in height in South Florida and up to 30 feet in Florida, with trunks up to 6 inches in diameter. Its dark green leaves are semi-deciduous, about 1/2-1 1/2 inches long, and provide a stunning contrast against its nearly black, furrowed bark. The Viburnum obovatum produces semi-showy white flowers in the winter-spring and red turning black drupe fruit, which serves as a significant source of food and cover for wildlife, particularly birds and other animals. This small viburnum can grow in nutrient poor but seasonally wet to moist, well-drained sandy soils with some organic content to thrive. Additionally, it requires full sun to light shade and moderate moisture, but it is tolerant of short periods of drought once established. So, if you're looking to enhance your landscape with an attractive, functional, and low-maintenance tree, Viburnum obovatum is an excellent choice.


Reminder: Riverfront Park redevelopment meeting tonight
This will be the first of several public meetings to showcase plans and solicit input from the public on how the park should be redeveloped after the former City Hall building in Monument Square is demolished.
Last week the city Planning Board made negative declarations on both the demolition of the former city hall and the redevelopment of Riverfront Park, allowing both projects to move forward.
Mayor Harry Tutunjian said that "an inviting public space like Riverfront Park is a key component of economic development, attracting visitors to Troy and enhancing river access for boaters to bring more people to our shops and restaurants downtown" in a press release.
The city has taken other steps to improve riverfront access to the Hudson, including the construction of the Madison Street Fishing Pier. The pier was funded by a grant from the New York Department of State Division of Coastal Resources and an adjacent kayak launch is expected to be built before the end of the year.
