I can’t think of a homeowner who hasn’t dreamed of owning a water feature. The same thing that compels a person to travel hundreds, even thousands of miles to gaze at Niagara, Victoria or Iguazu Falls fuels the desire to create one’s own mini-Niagara, right in his own backyard. There’s just something about the sight and sound of water rushing over rocks that soothes the spirit.
Having your own waterfall used to be something only a wealthy person could experience.
Not anymore. Thanks to technology, anyone can afford to have a modest water feature. And now that the economy has perked up again, homeowners are back in dream-fulfillment mode. A pondless waterfall is the perfect thing to suggest to such a dreamer. It’s a relatively inexpensive way that an ordinary person can enjoy this luxury.
A pondless waterfall is just that, a water feature without a pond. A deep hole isn’t needed, and because you don’t have to excavate a deep or extensive one, the time and labor involved is much less. A small reservoir hidden just belowgrade is filled with water. A small pump in the reservoir pumps water up to the top of the falls. The water tumbles back down via gravity and is pumped out again, creating a closed circulation system.
However, before you begin building, you first have to decide where this feature should be placed. Ideally, it should be positioned so it can be seen and enjoyed from inside the home as well as outside. If the client has an outdoor living space, it should be integrated into it. (If he doesn’t have one yet, this could be the start of something much bigger!) Now, to build it. You have a couple of choices.
If you’re new at this game, you might want to consider buying a kit. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, and can really streamline the whole process for you. Your local wholesale distributor should carry them.
All the components—the modular geosynthetic blocks, pump, liner, underlayment geofabric and everything else you’ll need— will be included in the kit. Or, you can purchase the components separately and build it from scratch.
But before we grab those shovels and start digging, let’s take a look at the soil. A house needs a strong foundation, and so does a water feature; water and rocks are heavy. If the soil underneath it isn’t stable, when the soil does settle, it can cause the waterfall rocks to shift. So if the soil is loose, make sure you compact it before you do anything else.
Once you’re certain you have a good, stable base, you can start your excavation. The reservoir area should be big enough and deep enough to hold all the water needed to circulate through the system, about 100 gallons, at minimum. Make sure the reservoir has enough extra capacity to hold on to the water when the pump is shut off; you shouldn’t see water flowing over the sides.
The reservoir needs to be just deep enough so that the water will cover the 15-inch submersible pump and the 15-by-19-inch blocks completely, and keep the blocks even with the grade. You can include a deeper area in the reservoir to insert the pump vault, if the pump vault’s height requires it. If there’s a hill, make sure you’re building your spillway on the high side of it.
If you’re installing the feature in a substrate that tends to retain water, such as a dense clay soil, you may need to create drains underneath the liner. This way, should you ever get a heavy rain or groundwater buildup, these escape hatches will prevent the excess groundwater below from pushing the rocks and modular blocks up and out of place.
Next, level the top rim of the reservoir. This can be done using a straight piece of lumber, such as a two-by-four. Lay it across like a bridge spanning the reservoir, and put a bubble level on top of it. If the top rim of your reservoir isn’t level all the way around, make it so. Then, level off the bottom of the reservoir so you’ll be able to place the blocks flat into it.
Before we put anything into the reservoir, though, we first must put down the underlayment. This is a sheet of geotextile fabric that goes underneath the waterproof EPDM liner and protects it against any rocks in the soil that could tear it, and compromise your water feature’s foundation. This underlayment step is crucial, so don’t omit it.
It’d be like installing carpeting without a pad.
Once you’ve laid down the geotextile fabric, lay the EPDM liner down over it, and smooth it out as much as possible. Push it down into the reservoir, smoothing it into the corners and over the sides.
Now that you’ve prepared the reservoir, you’ll put in the modular geosynthetic block products (AquaBlox, Eco-Blox or others). They’ll create a strong base for the rocks that’ll be put atop them, to hide them from view and naturalize the look of the feature.
You can use marble or golf ballsized rocks, but avoid ones that are small enough to fall through the holes in the blocks. If you wish, you can put fabric cloth, plastic mesh with three-eighth-inch openings, on top of the blocks before you add the rocks as extra protection.
Avoid making the common mistake of cutting the EPDM liner too short; you’ll have nowhere to go if repairs or patching are needed later. Besides, the weight of the water and everything else in it will cause the reservoir to settle over time. So, leave a foot or two of extra liner material and fold it over. It’ll be hidden under rocks and plants anyway. It’s best not to cut the liner until after you’ve seen the feature running.
Place the modular blocks and pump vault in the reservoir, to serve as a base for the decorative rocks and boulders, then fill in the remaining spaces with rounded river rocks. To protect the integrity of your liner, avoid using jagged-edged rocks or gravel. Experts also advise against using pea gravel here, as debris tends to build up in it, and can eventually prevent the water from reaching the pump. Use rocks no smaller than fist size to fill in around the blocks.
Place the pump in the reservoir and connect the pipe to the spillway. The pump is the most expensive component in the entire structure, so it’s important to keep it from burning up, which is what will happen if the water level gets too low. To prevent that, it’s a good idea to install a low-water shutoff switch.
This way, if the water should ever dip below a certain level, the pump will automatically shut down.
Now comes the fun part, aesthetically placing the decorative rocks and boulders around the feature, to make it look like a natural part of the landscape. Submersible, remotecontrolled LED lights can be placed along the rocks in the waterfall, giving it a dramatic look after dark.
Once the boulders are placed surrounding the waterfall, you’ll notice some voids at the points where they meet. Many installers fill these with black expanding foam so the water doesn’t run into them. But don’t overdo it, especially around the edges, or you risk having water flow over the sides of the feature.
Fill the rest of the bed with river rocks. Finally, install plantings around the edges of the waterfall. Include some that are already part of the landscape so that it blends in seamlessly. Start the pump and watch your waterfall in action!
Now, let’s look at what’s required to keep it going. This type of water feature requires minimal maintenance. However, low maintenance doesn’t mean no maintenance.
Water should be added every week or two to offset what’s been lost to evaporation; make sure the client is aware of that.
Once-yearly cleanouts are usually sufficient in warmer climates. Setting up a routine maintenance contract with the client to service the feature at regular intervals will help keep things running smoothly.
In areas that are prone to freezing, you may need to winterize the feature by disconnecting the pump and storing it indoors. Once the pump is disconnected from the pipe, make sure that no water remains in that pipe, or it could freeze and break.
Some people in colder climates run their water features year-round, using the friction of the running water to keep it from freezing. If this is the case, you might need to dig a deeper hole. Burying the reservoir at least four feet underground should get it below the frost line, where the geothermal activity of the soil should keep the pump from freezing.
Installing a pondless water feature is a wonderful way to bring added beauty and delight to your clients’ backyards or outdoor living spaces. In just a few short hours, you’ll be giving them something they will be able to enjoy for years to come. And, maybe even silently thank you every time they look at it.


Representatives from Highland Park's Shade Tree Advisory Committee received one of the US EPA Region II's 2000 Environmental Quality Awards in a Spring 2000 ceremony at regional EPA headquarters in New York City. The award was presented by Sen. Frank Lautenberg and US EPA administrators and was received on STAC's behalf by (on the left) Arnold Henderson and Ruth Bowers and (on the right) Aileen Coffey.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (Region II) awarded Highland Park's Native Plant Reserve one of its Year 2000 Environmental Quality Awards. Our project was nominated for the award by Middlesex County. We share the EPA honor with projects that were larger (by hundreds of acres) or in wilder landscapes, but we think we were singled out as the kind of small project that can have a good impact in the tight spaces of urban cores, where open space may be needed the most. STAC members traveled to regional EPA headquarters in New York City to receive the award plaque.


Natural Area Management & Services have been awarded the Point Walter Restoration Project by the City of Melville. Point Walter is a popular recreational node along the Melville foreshore, with the iconic Point Walter sand spit the area is known for kite-surfing, wind-surfing, fishing, swimming, water-skiing, boating and picnicking. Continual erosion of the beach has impacted the amenity of the area with large tree roots being undercut and the functionality of the infrastructure being threatened.
The project is aimed at increasing the local amenity through improved access and erosion control. The key components include brush mattressing with the reintroduction of locally endemic plants, replenishment and creation of rock headlands, installation of gabion cages with seating and stepped access to the beach and installation of timber decks and ramps.
Stage 1 works commenced in March 2012 and will be completed by the end of July 2012. Stage 2 works will then commence in September 2012 with Stage 3 works starting in June 2013.

When preparing a new yard, we ordinarily think about the amount of money of sunlight which will be readily available to vegetation in a certain site at different occasions of the day, and perhaps how vegetation may well look in the daylight at specific situations of the day. But have you at any time assumed about how crops in your backyard garden or household landscape may possibly appear in the mild of the moon? If the plan intrigues you, then probably you really should look at planting a moon yard this spring.
A moon yard is 1 which capabilities crops with white bouquets, vegetation with light-weight colored or variegated foliage, and vegetation which bloom at night. And what would be a lot more calming on a warm summertime evening than sitting down outdoor in the back garden in the dark listening to the cicadas sing, seeing lightning bugs fliting higher than the grass, and admiring crops bathed in moonlight?
White, light hues excellent for moon gardens
Vegetation with white or other light-coloured bouquets are best options for a moon backyard garden. Contemplate flowering plants this sort of as Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum superbum), 4 o’clock (Mirabillis jalapa),sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima), yarrow (Achillea milliefolium), foxglove (Digitalis), petunias, New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawker), and geranium (Pelargonium).
Early spring bloomers this kind of as lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis),daffodil (Narcissus), and azalea (Rhododendron spp.) will glow under the Pink Moon of April, whilst species this kind of as chrysanthemum and autumn clematis (Clematis terniflora) will lengthen the season and glow less than the Comprehensive Corn Moon of September and the Hunter’s Moon of Oct.
White-blooming hydrangea versions such as Annabelle, Incrediball, Snow Queen, Minor Lamb, and even the well-known Limelight assortment provide as an fantastic backdrop for a moon backyard. Trees with white flowers this sort of as dogwood and magnolia can also be incorporated into a moon garden. Trees with gentle-coloured bark these types of as birch can insert visual fascination to a moon backyard.
Brilliant foliage demonstrates moonlight
Plants with gentle-colored or variegated foliage will also replicate the moonlight in a moon back garden. Take into account shrubs such as variegated dogwood (Cornus alba), variegated euonymus (Euonymus fortunei), and Japanese wrong cypress (Chamaecyparis). Herbaceous perennials with gentle colored foliage which are superior candidates for inclusion in a moon back garden include lamb’s ear (Stachys byzantine), silver mound artemisia (Artemisia schmidtiana) and varieties of variegated hostas (hosta plantaginea). And be certain to include things like annuals these kinds of as dusty miller (Jacobaea maritima) and white cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus).
Evening bloomers an fantastic backdrop
Yrs in the past, while going to my wife’s grandmother, I recognized that just prior to sunset, many of the neighbors on her avenue had gathered jointly and had been sitting down in lawn chairs in the grass median that ran down the heart of their silent household avenue. It looked as if the neighbors ended up expecting a parade to occur down the avenue. I soon realized, however, that the neighbors had gathered to watch the nightly spectacle offered by a row of night primrose vegetation developing in the grass median. The fragrant yellow flowers of night primrose (Oenothera biennis) bloom every single night at sunset and shut all through the working day. These vegetation make an outstanding backdrop for a moon backyard.
Other evening-blooming plants consist of the aptly named moonflower (Ipomoea alba) and angel’s trumpet (Brugmansia).
Additions and accents for ambiance
In addition to white flowers, gentle-colored hardscapes and garden accents will replicate moonlight and include to the ambiance of a moon back garden. A backyard garden route of marble chips or crushed limestone will replicate the moonlight, as will white or light-coloured backyard accents these kinds of as a limestone obelisk, statue or birdbath. A garden bench, fence or trellis painted white can also be integrated into a moon garden.
Very low-voltage backyard garden accent lights which direct gentle toward the ground can be extra to moon gardens to supplement the generally-fleeting all-natural light-weight of the moon. A string of photo voltaic-driven lights strung on modest trees or woody ornamental crops this kind of as hydrangea can also give comfortable light-weight in a moon yard.
Planting a moon garden will permit you to delight in crops and flowers at evening without flooding the landscape with loads of overhead mild.

43rd Greenfingers garden opens at children’s hospice in Sussex
The latest garden from the charity Greenfingers(1) – a magical ‘Woodland Walk’ – was officially opened last week at Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice in Arundel, Sussex.
Renowned garden designer, and Sussex local, Ann-Marie Powell(2) designed the Woodland Walk at the hospice, with another local company, Garden House Design(3) building the project. It has seen a previously unusable piece of woodland transformed in to a fully accessible, magical woodland space for the children and families who use the hospice to enjoy.
The new woodland garden now includes many exciting and engaging elements all carefully designed with the children who use the hospice in mind. Children will enter the woodland through impressive ‘moon gates’ suggesting a doorway to another world where they can delight in lawned picnic areas with bespoke blackboard panels; a water zone with viewing platform over a natural pond; a stick walk with giant telegraph poles; a relaxing and restful tepee; a bug zone with nesting boxes and bug ‘hotels’ and touch flowing strips of sail cloth in the hanging garden.
The opening on Thursday 19th June saw Linda Perry, Head of Care at Chestnut Tree House welcome guests to the ceremony with Matthew Wilson, Greenfingers chairman, and designer Ann-Marie Powell officially opening the new space which was marked by the release of a cloud of butterflies. Guests were also invited to make their own mark on the garden by scattering woodland flower seeds as they explored and enjoyed the garden.
Matthew Wilson, chairman of Greenfingers, said: ‘We are absolutely thrilled to be opening what is a truly magical space here at Chestnut Tree House. For the children who use the hospice this space will offer them a wonderful opportunity to be transported into an enchanting woodland; a place where they can lose themselves in an inspiring natural environment that was previously inaccessible to them.’
Matthew Wilson continued to thank you all those involved in the project: ‘We are indebted to everyone who has contributed so generously to this garden, particularly to Ann-Marie Powell for her design and commitment and to Garden House Design for their fantastic build and putting so much time and effort into creating this incredible space.
Thanks also to all the other suppliers and businesses who generously donated time, services and products – without them this garden would not have been possible. The woodland walk we can see before us today is a breathtaking transformation of the space and a credit to all involved. It is wonderful to think about all the children and families who will now be able to spend time here.’
The Woodland Walk at Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice is the 43rd garden to be completed by Greenfingers and the first to be finished under the umbrella of the charity’s Rosy Cheeks Appeal(5).

Duke Gardens Plum Yew Care
When caring for a Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree, make sure to water it regularly, especially during dry spells. These trees do not tolerate standing water, so be sure to plant them in a location with good drainage. Fertilizing the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a year can also promote healthy growth. These trees prefer partial shade and well-draining soil, so it is best to plant them in an area that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day and is protected from heavy rainfall and standing water. Other factors to consider when choosing the planting site include water availability, nearby plants or structures, and proximity to power lines and underground utilities. Mulching around a Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree can help to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, all of which can contribute to the overall health and growth of the tree.
Pruning is generally not necessary for the Duke Gardens Plum Yew, as it has a naturally neat and tidy shape. However, if the tree becomes overgrown or develops any damaged or diseased branches, you can trim them back to maintain the tree's overall health.
Duke Gardens Plum Yew Spacing
The Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide, so space it about 5 feet apart, center on center, to allow it to reach its mature size.

Hasil gambar untuk how to plant Hurricane creek white x alata) x Schnell's ghost carnivorous sarracenia plant
Sarracenias will tolerate a minimum of 40°F/4°C in winter. Soil: Sarracenia purpurea needs a medium that's free of nutrients and allows good drainage. Use a mixture of 1 part sphagnum peat moss and 1 part perlite or horticultural sand. DO NOT use potting soil or compost because it will kill the plant.
What soil does a Sarracenia need?
Soil: We recommend a mix of two or three parts sphagnum peat moss to one part of sand. Sarracenia like acid, nutrient-poor, moisture retentive soil. Avoid rich soil and clay. In clay, sink containers with drainage and fill with peat/sand mix.

If you could wave a magic wand to create the perfect pond or waterfall, what would it look like? Whether you are a DIYer or hiring the work done, here are seven questions to help you figure out exactly what that looks like and if it will work for you!
1. How much space do you have?
If space is limited, consider installing a Pondless® waterfall or bubbling urn.
2. Do you have a budget?
Fountains cost the least and are quickest to install. Prices for waterfalls, streams, and ponds depend on size, type or rock used, and difficulty of installation. You can easily add a pond to your waterfall later on if you decide that you’d like to keep some fish and enjoy different types of aquatic plants (water lilies, for example).
A beautiful koi pond 8 x 10 feet and 24 inches deep professionally installed can gust upwards of $11500 depending on type of rock, lighting, or plants added. A basic backyard pond starts at $7200.
3. Do you want fish, plants, or lighting?
If you want fish choose a pond that is at least 24” deep. Lighting can also be added to a fountain or a waterfall. Plants can be customized by the owner, or installed by the contractor. Plants make a beautiful pond even better, and are vital to keeping the water clean in your backyard pond.
4. Do you want to hear the water moving?
A waterfall can be gentle and serene in the form a babbling brook or louder and more dramatic if built with longer drops. Perhaps a koi pond with no sound at all fits you better.
5. How much time do you want to spend time maintaining it?
Be honest about the time. But also note that maintaining a pond actually turns out to be playing in the water for many folks! Pond maintenance is relaxing work. You could hire the maintenance out to a pond professional if you don’t have time or interest.
6. Logistical questions include: Where do you want this? Can you see the water from the house? Be sure to locate it near a window so you can enjoy it from inside too! Does that spot have access to electricity or can it be installed? Do you have an irrigation system? (An automatic fill valve can be added for when you’re on vacation.)
7. Technical questions: Which system will you use? We recommend and only use the Aquascape system for its ease of use and environmentally-friendly approach to crafting and sustaining water features.
Hopefully these questions helped you create your ideal water feature! For more information and fun videos visit Aquascape’s youtube channel, MNponds pinterest page, Aquascapeinc.com for technical information, or contact us to set up a free, phone consultation today!

50th Anniversary Golden Nugget of the Week: Jigsaw Puzzle
Have you ever assembled a 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle? How about one with 4,500 pieces. That was the formidable challenge faced by the two landscape architects in Branigar’s headquarters on Abercorn Street. Staffed by Dick Magnuson, VP Planning/Southeast and fellow landscape architect, Bill Dempsey, the charge was to “fit” 4,500 individual homesites onto an otherwise blank canvas, and to do it in a way that not only preserved the character and quality of the natural elements, but built upon them to enrich the beauty and livability of the community.
Dick, with a B.A. in Landscape Architecture from The Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters in Landscape Architecture from Harvard, had worked on The Landings from the very beginning. His first assignment during the nine years he spent as a Senior Associate at Sasaki in Boston was “a 5,000-acre housing project on Skidaway Island.” Dick came to Branigar full-time in 1977.
Bill earned two Master’s Degrees, one in Landscape Architecture at the University of Georgia and another in Urban Planning at Georgia Tech. He joined Branigar in 1983, was heavily involved with Dick in planning Palmetto, Oak Ridge. and Deer Creek, and was the sole planner for Moon River. Bill and his wife Jennifer have been Landings residents for the past 20 years.
Here are some of the issues they faced: How many homesites can the land comfortably accommodate? What’s the right mix of single-family lots, patio-lots and townhomes? What land “pods” are best suited to each housing type? How can homesites be arranged to maximize amenity views without overcrowding a single streetscape (marsh, golf, lagoon, woodlands)? What road network would be best for interconnecting the various neighborhoods, without generating unwelcome levels of traffic in any one of them? And how best to protect the tree cover and natural beauty that are fundamental parts of the community’s environment and lifestyle?
Like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, no two Landings homesites are exactly the same and getting them all in exactly the right place takes talent, patience, and some “trial and error.” But if precisely arranged by talented and creative planners, those 4,500 pieces combine to form the “whole” we enjoy today and which rightly earned us the Urban Land Institute’s recognition as “one of the best planned and best managed communities in the nation!”
Pictured (l-r) is Dick Magnuson and Bill Dempsey.

So I finished my hardy cacti bed a few weeks ago. It is a semi-raised bed that I made out of some old discarded cinder blocks I found on the side of the street, and the larger rocks I found around my house. The bed was filled with a mixture of play sand, paver sand, and miracle-grow potting mix. Then topped the bed off with pea gravel and red lava rock, on the upper section. I used Alabama sunset river rocks around the larger rocks to help keep the sand from eroding away. I planted several species of hardy cacti species as well as three Yucca Rostrata, two Agave Paryii var. Paryii, and two Agave harvardia. I decided to go with more of a seaside theme for this bed and various sea shells, sea glass, and flat marbles. I am very happy with the way this turned out.

Medina community, elementary students celebrate Arbor Day
Photos by Tom Rivers
MEDINA – The Medina community held its annual Arbor Day celebration this morning with about 500 students in grades K through 3 at Oak Orchard Elementary School.
The students helped plant four trees at Rotary Park on Main Street. The students also sang three Arbor Day songs.
This year Medina is planting 83 trees, mostly along areas of Eagle and Pearl Streets with additional plantings throughout the village. The village has been recognized with the Tree City USA designation by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The award honors Medina’s commitment to community forestry.
Ava King (center), a kindergartner, tosses some dirt on a newly planted tree at Rotary Park. This is one of four new trees in the park that are the Musashino Zelkova variety. These trees are ideal for street use. They have tightly upright branches that allow good vehicle and pedestrian clearance.
This group of kindergartners poses for a group photo after the Arbor Day celebration.
Chris Busch, the Medina Tree Board chairman, joins the kids for the photo. This is the 13th year Medina has held the Arbor Day celebration. Busch and the Tree Board presented a “Friend of the Urban Forest” award to Oak Orchard Elementary School for their participation in the Arbor Day program.
“They have been supporters from the very beginning,” Busch said about the school. “A celebration isn’t a celebration without the kids. They are also the future stewards of our village forest.”
Candlelight Cabinetry in Lockport also was honored as a “Friend of the Urban Forest” for the second straight year. The company makes a generous donation to support tree planting in Medina.

Use landscape edging to separate the grass from the garden or simply make a creative border
There is nothing nicer than a well-designed landscape with crisp edges and accents. Trees, flowerbeds, driveways, and sidewalks all benefit from the use of landscape edging. The options for design are endless and with minimal tools and a visit to the nursery or home improvement store, you can make improvements over a weekend.
First, you should create a plan for edging placement. You can do a quick sketch on paper before you head outside with string and stakes. Be adventurous, but think simple: curves, straight edges, and random lines all add character to a home's appearance.
Try to avoid sharp angles and, at the very least, keep them to a minimum, especially in grassy areas. You'll find mowing much easier without those corners.
To get a quick and clear idea of curved paths, play around with a garden hose as your border. Then you can use stakes and strings for a more definitive pattern, especially if some of the borders are squared. Once you have staked your lines and you are confident there will be no course changes, purchase lime and put it down along the route of edging. Now you can remove the string and stakes, which will make it easier to dig.
There is no "best" edging product but a few recommendations may help. You can purchase plastic edging at the local home improvement store. The best quality will be clearly packaged as landscape edging and will come in a kit with stakes. Without stakes, the edging will be susceptible to side movement and upheaval in climate changes.
Metal edging is difficult to maneuver, but has been a popular product for decades. It is prone to rust eventually, but over all is a generally durable product. Aluminum edging is newer to the market and easier to handle. It does not rust or wear out.
You have probably seen bricks used for flowerbed edging. They are buried to a depth that leaves about one-half inch of surface showing. Be careful when purchasing bricks; they are made for both interior and exterior use. The interior versions, which are cheaper, cannot hold up to outdoor conditions.
Stones and precast pavers are also popular choices. The precast stones are wonderful for layered terraces. They come in a limited range of colors that will complement just about any house.
Landscape timbers and railroad ties are good old standbys. Pre-treated wood will last for many years, but any wood eventually requires replacement. If you are planning an herb garden, these are ideal. Herbs need plenty of drainage and thrive well in a raised-bed environment. Timbers or ties are economical and can add the needed support around the edges.
Plastic edging that looks like terracotta tile is another alternative for long-lasting support and division between grass and beds. It's very hardy - made of polypropylene - and is guaranteed to not crack or chip.
Rubber edging can be pounded into the ground and is durable and soft enough that lawnmowers can run right over it. It is also flexible and will re-position itself through most ground upheavals.
Tree rings look like flat Christmas tree skirts. They are made of rubber, but are attractive enough to fit into any landscape - formal or informal. These bark-like mats prevent weeds and grass from growing around the tree and can withstand lawnmowing.
Some iron edging styles are merely decorative; they are neither functional nor safe without adequate lighting. However, there is no denying the elegance of finials or the contemporary look of edging rings. They are painted and powder-coated to add a dramatic touch to the landscape.
Some experts say
the perfect edging is an invisible one. You can decide which you prefer:
decorative, functional, or a blend. If it's within your budget, a professional
edging job will last many years to come, or you can do-it-yourself with
a visit to the nursery or home improvement store.

DH and I built a firepit today! We had been talking about it for a while. My kids were so excited to help us dig and put rocks in the hole. Then they were mesmerized by the fire.
Soon, we are going to put a border around it (3ft out) and fill the area with river rock. But for now, I am just excited to get it together and burning!


Urban Splash is aiming to create family homes as part of a 20-year contract to regenerate Swansea city centre sites
Swansea Council and regeneration developer Urban Splash have signed a 20-year contract to carry out £750m regeneration works.
The Manchester-based developer will now lead on redeveloping sites in Swansea. The regen plans include homes on a 7.5-acre riverfront site in St Thomas and the possible transformation of the 23-acre civic centre.
Jonathan Falkingham, co-founder of Urban Splash and a former resident of the Welsh city, who attended school there, said: “We are very much looking forward to progressing our partnership with Swansea Council, applying almost three decades’ experience in regeneration to create a world-class environment which fuses the city’s historic fabric with new, sustainable architecture, with the objective of establishing Swansea as one of the UK’s most healthy and liveable cities.”
Other areas that the deal should see regenerated include the 5.5-acre Swansea Central North site at the former St David’s Shopping Centre, which is lined up to deliver new flats as well as office space.
Rob Stewart, Swansea Council leader, said: “The planned regeneration of sites including the area around St Mary’s Church known as Swansea Central North and the world-class Civic Centre site are going to be something really special and unique, building on the work we have already done around Copr Bay and the arena.”
He said work had already been done to deliver “a new Kingsway, an improved Wind Street, Copr Bay and Swansea Arena over the past five years. Castle Gardens, the Palace Theatre, Albert Hall and a number of other key regeneration schemes are also in progress”. Urban Splash would help the council “move up another gear to the next level of reimagining our beautiful city”, Stewart said.

Planning the future of the Mill Creek Addition, the newest part of Redwood National and State Parks, could start in the spring or summer.
The state parks section will seek to contract a planning firm and draft a guide for the resource.
andquot;The first step is to get a variety of ideas,andquot; said park interpreter Rick Nolan of the process that could take up to two years. andquot;The one thing it has going for it is it's a blank slate.andquot;
In 2002, Redwood National and State Parks added the 25,000-acre parcel that once hosted old growth redwoods. The nonprofit Save the Redwoods League donated the land to the state park after buying it from Stimson Lumber Co.
But the attraction of the former timber lands that show the huge stumps of logged old growth redwoods remains questionable as visitors seek out the giant trees and trails that wind among them.
andquot;For people outside of the area, we'll have to see,andquot; Nolan said. andquot;What the appeal of Mill Creek will be over time.andquot;
The site also hosts about 350 miles of old logging roads. Restoration and management steps will likely mirror those underway at Redwood Creek that joined the park system in 1978.
Nolan pointed to work there that has so far restored about half of the 415 miles of roads, moving dirt back into the gravelly stretches to stabilize habitat and replace soil that absorbs runoff water and blocks pollutants from streams and salmon.
Redwood planting in that section will also likely serve as a model for Mill Creek a project to restore an old growth redwood forests that will take hundreds of years.
Such work at Mill Creek will likely interest scientists, Nolan said. And the resource has already attracted environmental group leaders who have begun running tours to watch salmon spawning in Mill Creek and plan to host ecology and history sessions in the summer.
The park will not likely be fully operational and open to the public for several years, though, Nolan said.
The planning stages that will soon begin aims to collect ideas from the public for its use.
andquot;It's always a fun process. You're setting the course for that property,andquot; Nolan said.

We combine good functional design principles with a sculptural sensibility.
We look for each space’s inherent grace, or ‘sense of place’ and then we find the balance between the particular forms and functions that will contain the specific wishes and needs of each client.
Our designs have a gentle formality to them, with layers of interest that will ebb and flow throughout the year and through the senses. We work with the qualities of each season and where they will shine brightest within each space, to maximize the potential of the borders, however large or small. This adds another magical dimension to the garden. And we ensure that all materials used are sensitive to those of the property and in keeping with the style of the design the client is hoping for.
These spaces will continue to grow and develop over time and so are set up to work from day one through to maturity. The gardens are built to last.
Gardens can be elegant solutions for whatever you want them to be and do.

What does that mean? Basically, it means that some pavers might cost a bit more up-front but have much more to offer in terms of long-term durability than their more affordable counterparts. We’re not saying you have to spend a fortune on your pavers by any means, but it’s certainly advisable to ask your paver professionals about the long-term durability of each option you’re considering.

City of Scottsboro starts downtown renovations
SCOTTSBORO, Ala. – The City of Scottsboro received a $1.1 million grant for the renovations of the downtown area. They also got an additional grant to renovate surrounding streets outside of the square.
“It’s time to have a facelift. We’ll redo the curbs, from the curbs to the store front, we’ll do sidewalks. We’ll do sidewalks, benches, plants, new landscaping, new trees planted, shrubs… to help the overall look of the downtown appearance to the square,” said Mayor Potter.
Monday night, engineers will meet with the council to approve the second phase of constriction and discuss any additional pieces to the project.
“The plan right now is for the engineer and contractor to work with the business owner so that there’s no impact to their businesses,” said Mayor Potter. “They can’t actually block off an entrance to a business on the square.”
Businesses will still provide regular service during construction, which they hope to begin in the spring and have completed by the end of 2017.
“That’s kind of the goal but all of that is weather dependent.”
The mayor says he’s excited for the city’s improvements and hopes that those in the community enjoy them as well.
“I think it’ll give it a new modern look to it and hopefully make it more aesthetically pleasing for people to come downtown.”

You are about to invest a lot of time and money into the outdoor project of your dreams. You have an idea in mind. You’ve done your research. You can envision the transformation your yard will go through once your project is complete.
Once you’ve picked the project specifications, design ideas, and style for your driveway, patio, or walkway pavers, there’s one more important decision you need to make. If you want your project to look amazing, you need to pick the right color palette. It can make or break your project.
Choose the Right Color for Your Walkway Pavers
The first place to start when it comes to choosing your colors is to look at your home. What color palettes will complement the color schemes of your property? You can get dramatic effects when you choose a color palette that harmonizes with the architectural style and exterior color schemes of your property.
When scanning the outside of your property, take landscaping into consideration as well. Think about how this aspect will change as the season change. Different colors express and elicit different emotions. If you’re looking for a relaxed feeling for your outdoor project, grey and light blue tones can give you a soothing or calming feeling. If you want a rustic vibe, reds or browns can do the trick.
Just like different colors create a different sense of emotion, they can also change the way things look. Lighter colors generally make space seem larger than it is. They can also brighten up a dark area. Darker tones are great for spaces that are in direct sunlight, but they can make your outdoor space seem smaller.
Consider How Your Space Is Used
When you’re choosing your color scheme, consider how your space is being used. If you’re building a patio around your pool, lighter colors are a better choice. That’s because they reflect light and keep the area cool so you won’t burn your feet. If your project is for an outdoor kitchen, consider a darker palette. This will keep you from creating an eyesore when messy cooking leaves stains on the patio.
Add Some Flair with Borders
If you want to add a sense of style to your project, consider using a contrasting color as a border. This will help your walkway pavers stand out! An accent or border color can add elegance. You can choose two shades of the same color family or add a completely different color that complements your main patio color to add a bold effect.
Talk About Color Before You Choose Your Walkway Pavers
Before you decide which brand to choose, discuss your project and ideas with your mason. By deciding on a color scheme ahead of time and sharing your thoughts, they will be able to pick a brand of pavers that’ll be the best fit for your project. Many paver companies focus on innovative color trends and unique blends.
You’ll be able to look at a variety of choices before you pick the company that works right with the exact color you had in mind. Your project should reflect your unique personal style and taste. You don’t need to settle with a product that doesn’t do the job because there’s a wide variety of options on the market.
Discuss All the Details of Your Property
Does the lighting on your walkway or patio change with the seasons? Is that area of your property exposed to excess water when it rains? While your project will last for years, it’s important to take these things into consideration. We want the colors of your patio to stay rich and vibrant. It’s our goal to give you a finished project that complements your property for many, many years.
From rustic to contemporary, there’s a color palette to fit your unique style when you’re ready to start your outdoor project. At Bethlehem, we work with the highest quality pavers to deliver a beautiful, functional outdoor living space that can withstand the test of time. We want your property to look great and we’re committed to ensuring a lifetime of beauty when finishing your outdoor project.
