Anytime a new construction project begins, one of the greatest threats to the environment is erosion. Site preparation can disturb delicate root structures that hold soil systems in place. Roads and paths necessary for the movement of heavy machinery unwittingly create conduits for surface runoff that can transport sediment into streams, creeks, wetlands and rivers.
Erosion is going to happen. Our job is to prevent soil erosion whenever possible and when it does happen, reduce its impact on lakes, streams and rivers.
The professionals at CCI provide custom design services to help reduce the harmful effects of erosion. We utilize industry recognized Best Management Practices (BMP’s) to reduce sediment from stormwater including the use of sediment basins, traps, check drains, silt dams and flocculent.
The dedicated team at Cannon & Cannon has decades of practical experience developing and implementing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for sites small and large.


what my clients are saying
It’s great to hear back from my clients once the work is complete. Here are their thoughts…
Having spent many years unhappy with our garden due to the lack of patio where the sun reaches and a small garden wall that made the garden feel smaller, we contacted Elaine to come to our rescue. Elaine spoke to us about our requirements, our likes and dislikes and what we expected from the design and then came up with a proposed design. After only a few tweaks we agreed the design and Elaine recommended companies to quote for the construction. The garden is now complete and despite it being Winter we are thrilled with it and looking forward to seeing the new plants blossom in the Spring.

She worked with us to understand what we wanted, offered us knowledgeable planting options, including pet friendly plants, and ensured the contractors built everything as planned. We would have no hesitation in recommending Elaine.

"Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust’s multimillion pound regeneration programme has been backed by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) who have supported the further development of the Trust’s £16.8m lottery funding application.
"The HLF Board of Trustees were unanimous in their decision to award the ‘People’s Palace’ development phase funding ... to develop the project’s designs and business plan to deliver the maximum sustainable long-term benefit for the Palace, its visitors and local communities.
"At the conclusion of this development phase, a further application will be submitted to the HLF for the remaining funding towards the required construction works.
"Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive for Alexandra Park and Palace, said:
“The HLF announcement marks a significant moment in the future of Alexandra Palace. Finally we can plan with confidence to bring back to life the glorious Victorian Theatre and the historic BBC Television studios. The ‘People’s Palace’ in its entirety can now become a reality, and we are thrilled that the HLF have endorsed our plans for its future in this way.”"The HLF funding will contribute the major part of a £23.9m project which will transform the eastern end of the Palace, making accessible to the public the most historically significant – yet currently derelict and inaccessible – parts of the building."


Philipsburg – The development of a small campground area at Philipsburg’s Cold Stream Dam and Park is getting a federal funding boost.
More than $111,000 in grant money was announced Wednesday, and it will be used to cover construction of a pedestrian walkway, boardwalk trail, observation areas, landscaping, and other site improvements.
Philipsburg’s code enforcement officer Tim Ryder said the proposed 10-site campground will be nestled in an area surrounded by walking trails, fishing, soccer fields and a playground.
Most of the development work will be done by Philipsburg Borough maintenance crews to save money.
Ryder is hopeful that the campground will be complete and open by spring 2023.

Grevillea juniperina x rhyolitica 'Sunkissed'APPEARANCE : A new compact ground cover Grevillea with a low mounding habit. Lots of small curly flowers in apricot-gold in Autumn and Spring.
ORIGIN : G juniperina is found in ACT, coastal southern QLD and NSW, and is the parent of many popular grevilleas including New Blood and Canterbury Gold; G rhyolitica comes from a small coastal area of NSW, in a wide range of habitats and environments, and is the parent of Deua Flame.
USE FOR: Lovely mass planting, groundcover, erosion control, in containers, or as a rockery plant. Great grevillea for attracting wildlife.
PLANTING: Plant in well drained soil, mulch well and water regularly until the plant is established. Apply a native plant fertiliser yearly. Prune after flowering to promote new growth and flowering.
CARE: Prefers a warm, sunny position in the garden and is relatively hardy once established. Feed with a slow release native fertiliser when buds form - grevilleas can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%.

When I first bought a new house, I realized that the front trees were a little overgrown. I was worried about a branch breaking in the wind and smashing into a window or the roof, and so I decided to invest in professional tree service.

People naturally want to draw closer together when seated around a fire pit. This elegant tall version includes a few enviable features. More comfy seats equal fewer spots for a side table; the fire pit eliminates that need with enough height to double as a narrow shelf, too. Two materials offer subtle textural and color contrast in the patio space to help heighten visual interest.
There are many options when it comes to the size, shape and style of a fire pit. You can have a built-in fire pit installed, or you can purchase a portable one that can be moved about your yard. If opting for a built-in fire pit, you will be able to choose from a variety of outdoor finishing materials including concrete, stone and brick. And remember, fire pits do not have to be round-they can be square, L-shaped, triangular, or an entirely custom shape.
How local building codes may impact where you can locate your fire pit as well as when you can use it and what types of wood you can burn. The cost ranges for various types of fire pits and how to choose the right style for your budget.
Many people opt for a mobile fire pit that can be moved around to various locations. Movable fire pits are certainly less expensive than a built-in pit, come in a wide variety of designs, and have the added benefit of portability. The primary drawback, however, is that a movable fire pit tends to only last a season or two before the materials begin to deteriorate.

Using the very latest in digital visualization technology, we strive to develop design solutions independent of specific fixture selections – solutions that can stand the test of time. While the tools we have to implement our design concepts evolve, the art and science of integrating lighting into an architectural project rely on the same principles of perception and vision that we have used for over 60 years to create places for people to work, live and play.
Light in the Urban Realm
We seek to explore ways to activate the open space and streetscape at night through various lighting techniques, to make it exciting and pleasant, safe, and secure. We work closely with architecture, landscape, and engineering teams to integrate lighting hardware into the urban fabric whenever possible to establish a memorable aesthetic and experience.
In urban public spaces, the visual environment should present a positive and welcoming atmosphere, which encourages public use of civic space. Lighting objectives should include: reducing glare and visual noise to enhance safety and navigation; creating gradients between lightness and darkness, and considering long-term maintenance to reduce cost and maximize the life of the lighting installation. Early development of a strong concept helps to inform decision-making throughout the entire design process. Integrating the lighting into the architectural and urban fabric is of the utmost importance, and at the core of our design philosophy: lighting the architecture, rather than applying lighting hardware.
Since our firm’s founding, designing for and with daylight has been a central aspect to our workflow. While tools have advanced considerably, our focus on designing incredible spaces in collaboration with architects continues.
Today, we use the most up-to-date tools to shape the daylighting in your spaces. We work best as part of an integrated team; using a variety of methods we can easily integrate our daylighting analysis with formal investigations throughout the design process, taking advantage of opportunities latent in parametric software, and advanced rendering platforms.
Dynamic lighting can vary from project to project and from day to day depending on the design. Colored lighting or white light can be dynamically applied to activate your project with excitement, breathing a vibrant energy into the architecture. Initial design renderings, video simulations and physical mockups can all be utilized to bring the client’s vision to fruition; testing and refining the appropriate solution and hardware necessary. Development continues through consultation and coordination with manufacturers and media integrators. Media mapping diagrams, video resolution parameters and additional control strategies can all be developed with the design team. From initial concepts to final on-site adjustments, dynamic lighting requires coordinated collaboration; a tremendous value and expertise that we can bring to your project.
Collaboration and Process
Effective lighting design begins with a clear understanding of architectural design principles, our clients’ project vision, spatial programmatic needs, and the design and construction process itself. We begin by determining with the client what surfaces we need to light, rather than what lighting hardware we need to use. We establish lighting objectives that focus on satisfying user needs and the overall architectural vision.
Creative interaction between all disciplines during the design process is needed to achieve fully integrated and truly sustainable project solutions. Diagrams, illustrations and renderings are all utilized for clear visualizations of team concepts. Our understanding of how light interacts with materials to affect brightness perception and visual comfort is paramount to impacting human perception through architectural lighting design. We create beautiful luminous environments and sustainable designs through our collaborative process with your team.

Silloth Green in Cumbria opened after revamp
A Cumbrian green has been officially opened after more than £1m was spent on transforming it.
The Silloth Green project has given the area, which is a focal point for the town, a facelift and includes restoring the Pagoda and creating an events area.
It received £1.1m from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £100,000 from the Rural Development Programme for England.
Crowds of people were at the reopening, which came after a 10-year project.
Other elements of the revamp have been the Edwardian toilets, which were derelict, an adventure play area, improved lighting and new park furniture.
The funding also paid for a community engagement officer who will work to promote the green as a valuable resource for people in the town.
Cumbria County Council cabinet member for economic development and Silloth deputy mayor, Tony Markley, said: "The Green is a hugely popular focal point of Silloth, we really are blessed to have such a wonderful area, so for it to receive a facelift such as this is a huge boost for the community.
"I am confident that the new look Green will attract even more visitors to our coastal town."

Business Journal: Riverfront Redeveloped
Four miles of riverfront in West Sacramento will be redeveloped with parks, housing and stores.
Monday, June 25, 2007
The redevelopment will be done by the Cordish company from Baltimore. It’s created waterfront sites and large entertainment districts in other sites, such as Baltimore’s inner harbor and the new ballpark village underway in St. Louis. City staff chose the company … although the City Council must review the selection. Initial concepts for the 200 acre site could be developed by the fall. It’s called Stone Lock, and fronts both the Sacramento River and the outdated locks to the port of Sacramento. City officials say they’d like to see a large park, a new marina, and perhaps housing with neighborhood stores.

Hunter's Point South is a proposed mixed-use, affordable housing development situated on approximately 30 acres of prime waterfront property in Long Island City, Queens. Up to 5,000 housing units, 60% of which will be affordable to low/moderate income families, are expected to be developed on the site. NYCEDC, as part of an inter-agency initiative, seeks to revitalize this underutilized waterfront to improve the quality of life of New York City residents. NYCEDC's scope includes the design and construction of the infrastructure and roadway as well as a 10-acre waterfront park, which will support the seven housing parcels of Hunter's Point South.
This Project is being implemented in phases, with NYCEDC's scope of Phases 1 completed in August 2013. Phase 1 of the Infrastructure and Waterfront Park Project includes the area bound by 50th Avenue to the north, 2nd Street to the east, 54th Avenue to the south, and the East River to the west.

For more than two decades, Glenlyon Business Park in South Burnaby has been recognized as Western Canada’s premier suburban office park. The 133-acre site, formerly owned by CN Rail, combines a beautiful and natural landscape with direct access to the Greater Vancouver Area, creating one of the most attractive business locations in the country.
Following Canada Lands’ acquisition of the property in 1995, the company made great strides to preserve and protect the park’s natural elements, while also respecting the needs and processes required to do so. Throughout Glenlyon’s development, Canada Lands actively encouraged builders to incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designs and best practices wherever possible. This, in turn, led to the addition of natural landscaping and native plant materials, and the enhancement of natural features that were already in existence at the site.
Now complete, Glenlyon Business Park includes an extensive trail for pedestrians and cyclists, open green space, an off-leash dog park and a playground. Landscaped medians, island features, many ponds and creek ways, curvilinear sidewalks, large setbacks from the roadways and an extensive path system have all been integrated to create a unique balance between work and recreation. The park has more than 2 million square feet of state-of-the-art office, industrial and laboratory space which, over the years, has attracted several high-profile companies such as Nokia, Telus, Ballard Power Systems, Best Buy and Ritchie Bros.
Together, innovative development practices, an outstanding natural environment, contemporary architecture and many service offerings have put Glenlyon Business Park in a class of its own. The prestigious park has earned several industry awards including the City of Burnaby’s Environmental Award and Inaugural Award for Planning and Development, as well as the award for Best Office Development from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties.
Canada Lands’ near 20-year investment in Glenlyon Business Park’s has been valued at more than $400 million, and its return on this investment is estimated at $125 million in revenue. Additionally, the park has provided more than $9 million of direct tax revenue to the City of Burnaby.
Although the company sold the remaining parcels of land in 2014, the success of Glenlyon Business Park remains one of the strongest examples of Canada Lands’ commitment to developing projects that deliver solid financial results and provide lasting benefits to the communities in which they are located.


Being a sister seedling of the fabulous rhododendron 'Naselle', this one has to be good. The plant grows wider than tall, has excellent dark-green shiny leaves that hold on the plant for several years, making it full and lush. Rich pink flowers appear in late April and last into May. Each flower has wavy edges and a kiss of yellow in the throat, adding a glow. Rarely offered.


HydroBlox has been tested for this application. The conclusion ~ HydroBlox meets and exceeds every other material for green roofs.
HydroPlanks have been university tested with a result of no finer product on the market.
Why are HydroBlox better?
Plants can grow directly on HydroBlox without soil. The result is a much easier and less expensive installation. Without soil, the weight on the roof is greatly reduced. The logistics and expense of moving soil are eliminated.
As an alternative, sod can be placed directly on the HydroPlank for an instant green roof!

and the Heart of Bladensburg Redevelopment and Design Proposals
to the Bladensburg Town Council on March 1st, 2011. The students presented the finance, urban design, transportation and environmental elements of their redevelopment proposals for the Town Council's consideration. Each of the plans included affordable housing, retail amenities and services, economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and historic restoration options. Unlike many plans that have been completed for Bladensburg, both plans and the individual real estate projects provided realistic financing options to implement the innovative concepts.

City Announces Congress Square Redesign Finalists
The City’s Planning & Urban Development Department has selected four design teams as finalists for the Congress Square Redesign project. Of twelve submissions received for the design contract,these four will proceed to round two of the selection process. Round two will include interviews with the selection committee, a site visit, and a public presentation.
The chosen design team’s work will include developing a schematic design for the entire Congress Square, in coordination with an artist who will create a concept for public art. The artist selection for the public art commission is still under review and will be announced in the spring.
The four finalist design teams are (in alphabetical order):
- CRJA – IBI (Boston, MA)
- Michael Boucher Landscape Architecture (Freeport, ME)
- Terry DeWan & Associates with Olin Studio (Yarmouth, ME and Philadelphia, PA)
- WRT (Philadelphia, PA)
The finalists will speak at a public forum on Wednesday, May 4th to be held in the Portland Museum of Art auditorium from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public, though RSVP will be required for capacity reasons, and will include a presentation from each finalist and a question and answer session.
An online survey will also be available to gather community input about the finalists. Stakeholders and the general public will be invited to provide feedback and participate throughout the design process.
Visit the project webpage for updates and links to the applications: www.portlandmaine.gov/1113/Congress-Square-Redesign.
The Planning & Urban Development Department, in partnership with the Portland Public Art Committee and the Friends of Congress Square Park, released an open call for landscape designers and visual artists in December to create concepts for the Congress Square Redesign project. Responses to the open call were collected until January 28th.
The City currently has funds to develop schematic level concepts for the Congress Square intersection and public artwork. The concepts developed by the winning design team and artist will be used to help raise money to implement the project.
The project team anticipates the project, if approved for implementation, will require significant fundraising efforts. The City is also pursuing grant opportunities to fund the endeavor.


For the history buffs out there, here’s a glimpse of Bryant Park from 1935.
The photo has you looking west toward 6th Avenue from a vantage point near the southern end of the back of the New York Public Library. To your left is the pathway we refer to as the 40th Street Allee, now fully covered by a canopy of branches and leaves from the trees, and to your right is the lawn, now bordered by gravel instead of stone. The center balustrade should look familiar, as well as the fountain that you can see in the far right of the frame, under the classic Coca Cola billboard. This design of the park was conceptualized by architect Lusby Simpson and implemented by Parks Department Commissioner and public-works “czar”, Robert Moses during the Great Depression.
Below left, an aerial shot dated 1931, of Bryant Park’s original design by architect Thomas Hastings. Below right, a view of Simpson’s redesign from above, 1939.

Wayzata took a step closer last week to extending a popular bike and walking trail through its downtown and along the city's lakefront, where it's planning an ambitious beautification project.
The City Council chose a plan to reroute the Dakota Rail Regional Trail from Ferndale Road to Lake Street, the city's shop- and restaurant-lined waterfront boulevard, as far as Broadway Avenue.
The trail extension is in connection with the Lake Effect, the name the city has given to its $15 million lakefront plan. The Dakota Trail will be part of the project, running four blocks on the shore side of Lake Street and offering lanes for bikes and pedestrians that are buffered from car traffic and each other by trees and vegetation.
Other Lake Effect features will include parks, a boardwalk and a multiuse plaza. Construction on the first phase is expected to begin this fall and be completed in 2020.
"The priorities of the project are water-quality improvement, providing a better connection to the lake and providing a public space for the community to gather," said Jeff Thomson, Wayzata's planning and building director.
The Dakota Trail curves around the north shore of Lake Minnetonka, stretching west about 14 miles from Wayzata through Orono, Mound and other lakeside cities, eventually reaching St. Bonifacius and heading from there into Carver County.
Three Rivers Park District, which manages the regional trail system, has committed to paying the $500,000 cost of building the trail along the plaza in the Lake Effect plan.
The trail does not currently reach the point on Lake Street where the Lake Effect area will begin; it terminates at Shaver Park, a couple of blocks southwest. Currently, bikers and pedestrians must cross a parking lot, streets and a railroad track to go from the trail to downtown Wayzata.
The plan selected last week by the council will require removal of only nine trees to give cars space to wait at a train crossing. Other concepts would have required removal of as many as 33 trees.
Three Rivers will pay for that stretch of the trail too, said Jonathan Vlaming, associate superintendent of planning and design for the district.
"Getting through downtown Wayzata has always been one of the most difficult challenges," Vlaming said.
He added that the Lake Effect offers an opportunity to partner with the city and piggyback on its construction.
The Dakota Trail opened in 2008 and receives about 500,000 visits a year, Vlaming said. Eventually, the district wants to extend the trail eastward another few miles to Minnetonka City Hall at Minnetonka Boulevard and Williston Road, where it would connect with the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail running through Hopkins, Minnetonka, Excelsior and Victoria.
"We're working to create loops around Lake Minnetonka with the regional trail network," Vlaming said. "People love loops."
In addition to the Three Rivers contribution, the Lake Effect project is being funded by a public-private partnership that includes Wayzata, the state and the Lake Effect Conservancy, a fundraising organization. The conservancy has committed to raising $10 million in private donations and has raised $1.6 million so far, said Andrew Mullin, a former Wayzata City Council member who chairs the effort.
"In the end you'll have three parks and a boardwalk with a beautified streetscape, resulting in a more clean, welcoming and connected lakefront for Wayzata," Mullin said.

There are many choices when it comes to choosing garden benches. First, you will have to choose from materials like plastic, metal, wood and even metal frames with a wooden bench. There are also several choices if you decide you want a wooden bench. Do you want to go buy a bench? Do you want to go buy a kit and put it together? Or, would you rather take on the project of building a bench from scratch?
A garden bench can be a wonderful compliment to any garden. A bench can add to the style of your garden and also give you a place to relax. As one of the most versatile pieces in any garden, a bench can serve many purposes. Of the types of benches available, the backless bench is the most multi-dimensional.

It will keep weeds away; protect the plants by keeping the soil cool; decrease evaporation and reduce soil compaction. Be creative and use materials like: pebbles, bark chippings, gravel, cocoa shells, decorative pine cones, marbles, broken crockery, grass clippings or leaf mould. But avoid mulching too close to the stems to avoid the plant rotting in winter.
More green tips


the choice of the ‘Hobbit House’ design for the new Ross Bandstand is likely to prove popular with most readers of this newspaper.
It was the clear winner when we asked you which of the designs created by some of the world’s leading architects would fit best in Princes Street Gardens. It was striking that your second choice was the other with a grassy roof.
Blending in well with the rest of the Gardens was obviously important to many of you and it is easy to understand why.
There are two things particularly that I personally like about the vision of US architects wHY. Firstly it looks modern while at the same time blending in with its historice surroundings. Edinburgh should be confident enough to add some of the best 21st century design to our fantastic heritage.
The other thing I love is that it will open this part of the Gardens to so many more people. Outside of the summer months, the west end of the Gardens can often be empty. The various walkways and meandering paths will change that, both making it easier for people to get in to the various levels of this fantastic green space and making it more inviting.
This really is a people’s choice - and all the better for it.
