Ross NW Watergardens is a landscape design/build firm serving the Portland, Oregon area. What does that mean? We design a landscape that meets your family's needs and then we create it for you. You get to work with one team from start to finish.
Our focus, what we excel at, is high-end custom landscapes.
What is "custom landscaping"? It means that we design a landscape just for you. We don't install the same landscape over and over. The patio goes here, the boulder goes there, the lawn is here...(yawn). We spend time getting to know you and your property. Then we collaborate- trading pictures, emails, and eventually design versions- until you have a truly unique garden plan.
Can a unique landscape still be practical? Absolutely. We refuse to fall in love with an idea that looks good on paper but will not work in reality. Your landscape has to function for your family or we have not done our job.
When the time comes to install your design you will appreciate working with our team of craftsmen. Ross NW Watergardens is not just a company or business. We are a collection of designers, masons, technicians, and really hard workers! Our core team of crew leaders and masons have been with us for close to a decade!
There are lots of things we do well, but we especially enjoy working with water and stone. If you have a Mid-century Modern home or want a Japanese Garden we really want to talk to you.
Our family looks forward to working with yours. Your landscape will thank you.
Ross "Joe" Bowen is a second generation landscaper with over 30 years of experience. He is the President and CEO of Ross NW Watergardens and runs the day-to-day operations of our landscape projects.
Ross NW Watergardens was started in the Portland area to allow our family to create the kind of landscapes we love. Water features and irrigation systems were a focus from the very beginning.
We put family first and allow our employees to do the same. As a result we have had most of our employees for many years- they are the most valuable asset we can offer our clients.
Ben Bowen, 3rd generation landscaper, is our head landscape designer and often the first person at Ross NW Watergardens you will speak to.
Joe and Ben continue to push Ross NW Watergardens to create beautiful landscapes. Our portfolio is a testament to this. We were a finalist for Total Landscape Care's "Landscaper of the Year" award for 2014.

On August 3rd, 2012, Human Impacts Institute (HII), the youth environmental leaders went to the Gantry State Park in Long Island City, West Queens, to participate in Creative Sustainability Outreach. The restored gantries in the park, once used to load and unload rail cars, reminded us of the realities of the post-industrial age. Now it has become the backyard of residents in Long Island City, offering stunning views of the East River, willow trees and grasses, and the Manhattan skyline -including the United Nations and Empire State Building.
This time the students became future architects and designers, re-envisioning their own Gantry State Park waterfront view. Walking along the shoreline of the park, the students seeing the waterfront of exciting challenges: to create strong links and enhance the experience of the visitors. How can we make the park a more attractive place? How could the park help to restore our environment and natural resources? How can the park showcase the sustainability ideas? How could the design reflect the park’s rich history? Then the students were split into groups and went to different areas of the shoreline.
Even with a limited amount of time, students came up with many brilliant ideas. Some imagined a new education center with green roofs and solar panels, while others conceived of a jungle gym, a farmer’s market, and an aquarium! Still others sketched trees, flowers, and a volleyball court. The students also presented their ideas to everyone at the end of the workshop. Overall this event was another huge success and we look forward to many of these students’ promising urban planning and architecture careers!
Stay tuned by checking our blogs and website!

A house with some extra outdoor space could be very well turned into a fine living space with Northern Virgina concrete patios. This would create a good space for the friends and family to use a common place outside the house, for recreational activities. Getting a concrete patio done is best if you wish to have a seamless integration of both the exterior and interior living areas. This particular upgrade of the backyard to a decorative space of concrete patio will instantly make an improvement in the overall appearance of the entire place. This will be more so because the concrete is easier to maintain. Moreover, it stands up to all kind of harsh weather conditions while needing very minimalistic maintenance.
The design options are unlimited with the Northern Virgina concrete patios, as it can be molded into any shape, size or corners of the landscape. The color options are also endless with the use of integrated colors or stains to it. This allows it to match the Northern Virgina concrete patios with the exterior and the landscape of the house. This is not very much convenient with the use of Northern Virgina brick patios or with the Northern Virgina flagstone patios. However, the concrete could always be stamped or engraved to get the required pattern that would mirror the more costly paving materials, like flagstone, brick, slate as well as tile.
The cost on Northern Virgina concrete patios is less in comparison to Northern Virgina brick patios and Northern Virgina flagstone patios. It is important to comprehend that the lower cost of the investment in the concrete patio, coupled with a wide variety of choices in colors and patterns; combined with the lowest cost of maintenance makes it absolutely economical. This fact can be checked and rechecked as many times as a doubtful owner of a house may want.But the cost will always be economically viable in comparison to the budget of other patio designs. Adding to that is the customized design by the professionals in patio designing, could easily accommodate the restricted corners of the backyard, the garden, swimming pool, pool pumps at a little more consultancy charges. Though, all these will be worth the total satisfaction that the owner will have after the complete installation of concrete patio is over.
After the professional designing, the proficient and experienced experts install the concrete patio in line with the prescribed design that they have received. A planned outline of the entire work is very necessary in order to save time and money. The most appropriate thing a home owner can do before he jumps in speculating the entire idea by himself, he may get the professional consultation at his place by the experienced people of this field. This will let him have the idea on what are the best options available at what price. It will further allow him to prepare the budget for the entire things, which is the most important part of it; money. This way the outdoor decoration could be very well achieved by the Northern Virgina concrete patios.

Sterling Bay has taken a key step forward in its redevelopment of the Finkl steel site on the edge of Lincoln Park, picking a design team that includes Skidmore Owings & Merrill.
The Chicago-based architecture firm and CBT, a Boston-based design firm, will lead the planning and design efforts for the real estate project, which will be called Lincoln Yards, according to a statement from Sterling Bay. Sterling Bay plans a big mixed-use development on the 30-plus acre site along the North Branch of the Chicago River, an industrial area on the cusp of a dramatic transformation after the city relaxed zoning rules there earlier this year.
The planning team also includes landscape design firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates and transportation consultant Nelson\Nygaard, according to Sterling Bay.
“The selection of the master planning team is the first of many important steps for the overall project,” Sterling Bay Managing Principal Andy Gloor said in the statement. “Sterling Bay looks forward to assembling and engaging local stakeholders, neighborhood representatives and workforce and business diversity groups in the coming weeks and months as the development plans move forward."
In addition to designing big buildings, SOM has plenty of planning experience, designing Chicago projects including Millennium Park and the Lakeshore East real estate development. CBT's resume includes the NorthPoint development in Boston and the Durham Innovation District in Durham, N.C.
The statement offered no details about the scope, timing or makeup of the Lincoln Yards project. With Amazon announcing plans last week that it is searching for a site for a second headquarters, the Finkl site could be on the list of possible locations for the technology giant—if it decides to come to Chicago. Sterling Bay has been gobbling up land nearby, recently agreeing to buy an 18-acre site across the river, so it would have enough property to build a large corporate campus there.
Sterling Bay has been one of the busiest developers in the city over the past several years, especially in the Fulton Market neighborhood. It built an office building there for Google and is developing a new corporate headquarters there for McDonald's.


Brimbank council has released a draft Habitat Connectivity Plan for community consultation, with the aim of better preserving native flora and fauna in the municipality.
The draft Habitat Connectivity Plan 2017-2022 aims to provide a connected landscape across Brimbank to allow for the safe movement of wildlife and vegetation.
Brimbank mayor John Hedditch said it was an important component of the council’s overall environment strategy.
“Council is committed to creating a more sustainable Brimbank and ensuring biodiversity and resilience in a changing climate,” Cr Hedditch said.
“Council is keen for community members to take the opportunity and speak with council about plans to improve our natural habitats. The draft
Habitat Connectivity Plan 2017-2022 prioritises actions for conservation and habitat improvement where it will most benefit indigenous flora and fauna populations.”
The plan, which draws on a joint study in partnership with Hume council, provides detailed information about the habitat requirements of native species and their requirements for connectivity.
Speaking about the issue at last week’s council meeting, Cr Margaret Giudice said
it was important that the environment was
not forgotten when planning Brimbank’s future.
“With all of the planning that has gone on in the suburbs, it is very important that the environment is considered,” she said.
“People sometimes don’t understand that once those things are gone, we can’t get them back, so it’s very important for our future generations that we preserve these native species.”
The public consultation period for the draft
Habitat Connectivity Plan 2017-2022 is open until November 17.

Nuage is an organic pergola designed by the Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec that brings shade, shelter, seating and charm to the Paseo Ponti in the Miami Design District. Like ivy that grows along the street, Nuage engages with buildings and facades, creating a natural relationship with the surrounding architecture.
The sun shines through the steel and colored glass structure that mimics cloud apertures, casting graphic shadows that vibrate with blues and greens like stained-glass windows crossed by the sun in cathedrals. Local rustic plants envelop the project, with trees jutting through the clouds to the sky, or relaxing against them.
"Miami is a city where tropical nature sits, so that plants and trees have a very expressive manner. Also natural forces such has sun, wind and rain, are very strong. Nuage-Promenade wish to play with all those factors. Somehow there is an organic thinking behind it, the shapes do not belong to the straight line nor the perpendicular grid, they are about instinctive yet repetitive construction. A little the way ivy is growing onto building but in an extraordinary scale. Of course Nuage-Promenade is also conceived to let nature naturally grow inside it, through it, so that the whole become a landscape that is both manmade and nature grown.
Some years ago we deeply researched around some new urban structures. But instead of thinking for an identified place, we developed a number of patterns that we intended to be interesting proposals for public environment. Miami design district contacted us just at this very moment when things were growing, but were not settled. Appart this coincidence with our own research, the energy behind the transformation of the district was appealing to us. A conversation transformed into exciting exchanges, then the project was born.
Nuage-Promenade is not intended to drive a flow in one way or another, its aim is to provoke unexpected walk and stay. The structure naturally create colored shades, also noise and freshness through the ponds and plants. The path in itself is curvy and not linear; so that many sensations will be given to the one that cross. People will naturally behave in the passage like in a park.
Everything is about transparency and lightness. The main structure is floating at 3 meters from the floor, so that the landscape is still visually open, also, overall, clouds are mainly made of holes and empty zones, than volume and mass. So light and air will come through. This will create an ever changing atmosphere depending of the sun run during the day. The shadows will slowly evolve, their mass and color will nicely effect the surrounding, and the people. Ponds, plants, benches will react to all these slight changes. We can imagine that in few years, when the interlacing between plants and man made Clouds will have further develop that the atmosphere will be stronger and stronger. Materials are chosen to old nicely, taking a natural patina."

|Color:||Sedona, Toscana & Bella|
|Project Description:|| The owner of this Beverly Hills property wanted a space characterized by darker earth tones and beautifully designed walkways. We started by adding Belgard Bergerac pavers with a circle design in the center for the driveway, which also served as a basketball court area for the owner’s two young sons. The walkway featured a flat top texture and the overall color scheme consisted of Sedona, Toscana and Bella — great choices for an elegant, modern, sophisticated space.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday it was awarding two Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grants during Great Lakes Week in Cleveland.
The agency gave the Chagrin River Watershed Partners Inc. $770,250 to install green infrastructure projects in the Newell and Ward creeks, which are tributaries to the Chagrin River that drain parts of Mentor, Willoughby and Eastlake.
The agency said the impervious surface material at the Great Lakes Mall parking lot will be replaced with pervious concrete. This will allow stormwater to seep into the ground instead of going into the storm sewer system.
The agency said the improvements will decrease the amount of contaminants that flow from the watershed into the Chagrin and then Lake Erie.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency received $996,902 to implement green stormwater control practices in Cuyahoga County to cut down on the materials that flow into water ways.
In the past three years, nearly $30 million in federal aid has been used to improve the water quality by restoring watersheds.


Breakout STT Italian Ryegrass
Breakout with STT is a revolutionary new Italian ryegrass for use in overseeding warm-season grass applications or for quick
ground cover on cool-season turf. As with most Italian ryegrass varieties, Breakout with STT establishes very quickly, but unlike all Italian
ryegrasses, Breakout with STT has the fine leaf blade and texture that is more similar to perennial ryegrass. This unique trait gives Breakout with STT superior turf quality.

The Colony Park Sustainable Community Initiative began as a three-year master planning process supported through a $3 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Sustainable Communities Challenge Grant. The culmination of this planning process was the adoption of the Colony Park Master Plan and Design Guidelines and Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district for the 208-acre parcel of publicly-owned land located on Loyola Lane between Johnny Morris Road and Decker Lane.
The City of Austin Economic Development Department is working to ensure that the next phase of the project, the Implementation Phase, is successful. During this phase, the City is working with community partners to secure a Master Developer through a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process. We believe that with this two-step process we can secure a Master Developer who will work with city staff and the community to realize the Colony Park vision.
Join us for "It's My Park Day"!

How to plant hostas garden
As you can see I planted hostas in my garden last year. Today I want to share with you my experience with them and what you need to know in order to have them grow in the ground in your garden. In my garden they grow better if the soil is on the moist and loamy side, not too wet and not too dry. In order to plant them you have to choose the right hostas and it seems that there are many kind of them so that you have to be well informed about them. At the end I want to share with you the best hostas to plant for each kind of soil. You may also be interested in my article on How to grow hostas in containers. I hope that this article will help you to grow them in your garden.
Hostas (hosta) are hardy perennials that can grow in any conditions and in many climates. They can be considered easy to grow, but they will grow better if they are in rich soil and they will look better with the addition of some organic fertilizer in them. A healthy, thriving garden and container filled with hostas will show off the beauty of these popular perennials.
As hostas are perennials, they come back the following year, so in order for them to look good and be healthy for another year, it is important to give them the right amount of attention and water. You need to check them regularly and when necessary water them if the soil is dry.
Many gardeners have planted hostas in their gardens without realizing that it is not always easy to grow hostas. As hostas are very popular garden plants, you may have found hostas at local nurseries, or perhaps you have seen them growing in public spaces. But, for some reason you have not decided to grow them in your garden yet. You are not the only one! Hostas are not always easy to grow because they have many requirements. There are three types of hostas, semi-creeping, rambling and mound-forming. If you do not like one of these types, it does not mean that you cannot grow any hosta. But you may need to know a bit more about them to successfully grow hostas in your garden.
Growing hostas in a garden or in a container can be fun and rewarding, but sometimes it can also be complicated and confusing. If you like the look of hostas but you do not know how to grow them, then this article is for you.
Semi-creeping hostas, are one of the easiest hostas to grow. This is because they do not need as much sun as rambling hostas and are less susceptible to drought.
Semi-creeping hostas are grown either as a whole plant or they are divided into two or more plants. However, it is not recommended that you divide them as this can be dangerous and you might lose a plant.
How to Grow Hostas Step by Step
Semi-creeping hostas like to be in the shade and full sun. They can tolerate some drought but a lot of water must be used if the drought is prolonged. So if the drought is in the summer, then it is best to water them thoroughly and wait for rain.
If you have a raised bed garden then you should put the hostas into the raised bed. If you have a terraced garden then you can just plant them in the bed and plant them in to place of the existing hostas. You should remove all the other hostas to leave a space for the hostas to take hold of the soil.
You can use any size container for growing hostas. Just make sure that it has a hole in the bottom. If the container is big enough for your whole plant, then that is what you should use. Alternatively, if the container is too small for your plant then it is best to break your plant into smaller parts and plant them into bigger containers.
Here is an example of the type of hostas you can grow.
Now that you know how to grow hostas, then you should grow them properly in your garden.
Remember that the hostas will be divided every three years and so you must make sure that you do this every year. When they are divided then you need to plant in bigger pots, as they need to become bigger.
When you grow hostas, then make sure that you know when you will be dividing them and when they will be ready to be planted back into the garden. If you are planting hostas into a garden, then you should make sure that you put the hostas where they can go in to the soil quickly.
Do not forget that hostas need a lot of water and you should water them thoroughly, as this will help them grow. They also need protection from rain and you can do this with a green house. The other thing to do is to water them just before it starts to rain. This will help the soil in the pots to dry out quicker and they will dry out quicker.
If you are growing hostas in pots, then you can use a pot saver in the pot. This will help to keep the water out of the pot, so that the water can go in the soil and help the plant to grow. You can also add some soil to the pot saver, so that it will hold the water and help the hostas to grow.
It is best to water hostas in the morning. If you are using a pot saver, then you should water it at night, so that the water will not splash the plant. If you need to water, then use a watering can. Make sure that you water the hostas well, so that they can grow.
You should not pick hostas from your garden. It is best that you leave it for the birds. This will help to maintain the wildlife population. If you need to get rid of the hostas, then you should cut them back. Then you can take them to your garden center, so that they can be planted there. You can water them before you bring them to your garden center, so that they can grow back quickly.
After your plants grow back, you should leave the hostas alone. You should not look after them, because they will keep your garden looking good. It is best to plant hostas in places where they can grow easily. They should grow where you can still enjoy them.
You can look after your hostas in the winter, as long as you keep them in a warm location. They need to stay in a warm location to keep them healthy. If you have a green house, then you can put them in there. In the winter, it is best to use a house that has been heated. If you cannot get a heated house, then you should put the hostas in a place that is not very cold.
If you want to plant hostas in your garden, you should leave them in a pot until they are large enough to be planted. You should not plant them immediately.


When you are choosing the material to use as a foundation for the patio, think about the long-term practicality of the material before you make a final decision. Here are some common patio materials you can choose from.
That patio lighting are designed to be decorative and functional at the same time. Make sure you consider the original color of walls surrounding the garden, other patio elements including the materials used, and the possible effects patio lights may have to overall comfort and ambience of your patio to produce the best possible lighting combination that suits your needs. When used and implemented correctly, patio lights can be great additions to your already beautiful patio design.
Choosing the surface material : The most common surface for a patio are paving slabs. There are many different types of paving slab with a wide range of price tags. Steer clear of concrete slabs - they are often more expensive than natural stone, will fade over time and always end up looking fake. Indian Sandstone has dominated the paving slab market for years as it is cheap, natural, widely available and looks good.
Patio Dining Table: Think of the outdoor dining table as the centerpiece of your patio experience. It is where you will have your food and wine served. It is where you will place beautiful flowers and scented candles that will help in spicing up your romantic evening with your loved one.

The homeowners had big dreams for their yard, but none of the pool companies they met with could accurately capture what they wanted. They were frustrated and tired of searching…then they found us. We expedited the design to make up for lost time and excited them with our 3D virtual walk-through.
Playing off of the elevation changes and working within the rather tight area between the house and brick retaining wall, we created a family friendly space including a pool and infinity edge spa, cabana, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, and travertine patio space. The installation went as smoothly as we could hope for, with only minor hiccups along the way. It was a brief 16 weeks from the time we first met to discuss how we could help to the time they could finally dive into their sparkling new pool!

Having a garden and not enjoying it every day of the week is just a waste of good outdoor space. That’s why every garden needs attention and care, and if you invest your time and effort into it, it will surely pay you back. Even the smallest gardens can look visually attractive and provide you with the comfort and coziness you need, so give them some love as well. If you don’t know how to make the most of your garden and turn it into something extraordinary, here are a couple of ideas that might help you.
Words: Emma Joyce
Install a water feature
No garden is complete without an exciting water feature that’s going to bring a dose of elegance and style into your backyard. So, basically whatever you pick will do the trick, and you just have to make sure it’s not too big and take too much space. Fountains, water walls, small ponds, hot tubs and swimming pools are just some of the ideas you can opt for, so just measure your space and find the right option. In the end, keep in mind that a water feature will raise the value of your home, improve your health and give your garden a much-needed focal point, and these are just some of the benefits of installing a water feature.
Create a layout
Every garden needs a concept and, if you wish to make the most of it, you have to come up with the perfect layout. This is sometimes hard, especially if you haven’t done it before, so talking to someone with experience is always helpful, whether it’s your friends who have created a great layout in their own garden or, which is even better, actual gardening professionals. Relying on these people makes a lot of sense in the long run as well, which is why lots of backyard enthusiasts like to work with experts who know how to set up the perfect layout and help them utilize every inch of their outdoor space.
Introduce some cozyness
Lots of people love drinking their coffee and socializing with their friends on the patio, but you don’t really need one of these in order to spend time outside. You can simply purchase a small coffee table and some chairs, scatter them all over your backyard, and enjoy the simplicity of life. You do have to keep comfort in mind as well and make sure your furniture is actually cozy and not just pretty. To add an additional comfort, consider buying outdoor rugs that will connect the design of your patio. However, if you put your mind to it and pick the right patio set, you’ll start spending more and more time in the open, which is healthier and better than being stuck inside.
Think about pavement
Introducing pavement into your backyard might not be everyone’s cup of tea and lots of people who are eco-friendly and environmentally-aware are against this idea, but the fact is that proper pavement can do wonders for your garden. If designed and executed adequately, it will define your outdoor area, make it more appealing and organized, and provide a path you and your guests can use instead of walking all over the grass. This way, your backyard is going to get a new function and every part of it will be given a new purpose, and that’s something we all want.
Plant lots of flowers
This is the most natural and DIY idea out there, but it’s also the best way to make your garden beautiful, colorful, intriguing and aesthetically pleasing. After all, gardens are supposed to be full of flowers, and you just have to pick the ones you love the most and introduce them into your own garden. Planting flowers isn’t hard at all, and everyone can do it on their own, provided they have some free time and patience, and the effect these flowers bring into your garden is amazing. So, find the right spot for your flowers, pick the type you love the most, plant them and keep watering until they bloom!
Investing time, money and energy into your garden might not seem like the most appealing thing in the world, but having your own piece of heaven right behind your house has no price, so show your garden some love, starting today!

Three Guelph playgrounds are set to be replaced by summer 2025.
The playgrounds are; Colonial Drive Park, Holland Crescent Park and Highview Park.
The City of Guelph would like community input about the parks before the design process starts. People can share their feedback through a survey for each park from Feb. 6 to March 3.
Some feedback prompts are; what do you like about the current playgrounds, what would like to see in the designs and if there are specific accessibility features you would like to see in the playground.
After the information is collected it will be used to inform the design and what playground equipment will be included, said in a press release.
By the summer the designs should be shared with the community to receive further feedback.
There will be two designs for each playground.
Construction could start by spring 2025.

There are two types of residential drainage systems, surface and subsurface drainage systems. Residential drainage systems provide a way to divert water away from your home to prevent flooding and potential foundation problems caused by water seepage.
Surface Drainage Solutions
Surface drainage solutions allow you to divert water away from your home by changing the landscape or above-ground yard structure. The following are several different surface drainage solutions:
- Diversion Ditches: Ditches can be forged around your property to divert water away from your home and into a trench.
- Open Channels: Open channels connect to your drain pipes or sewer to ensure that water is removed from the area.
- Grassed Waterways: Grassed waterways consist of downhill, grassy channels that naturally drain water and deter soil erosion on your property.
- Sloped Banks: Another surface drainage solution involves creating sloped banks on your property that flow away from your home, taking water with them.
Subsurface Drainage Solutions
Subsurface drainage solutions work underground or beneath the surface to remove water from areas with an excess of water saturated soil. These solutions do not require a change in yard or landscape appearance. The two subsurface drainage solutions provided by Intech Anchoring are as follows:
- French Drain Systems: French Drain Systems involve installing a sloped trench on your property for water to run into. The trench contains gravel and leads to a pipe, which empties the water away from your home. This drain may lead to a drainage ditch, the street, a dry well, or a lower part of your property.
- Hydraway Drainage System: The Hydraway Drainage System is a subsurface drainage solution that is superior to traditional French drain systems because along with being more economical, it has a 70% higher water capacity, allowing water to flow away from your home at a much faster rate.
If you are in need of a residential drainage system solution, contact Intech Anchoring at 734-432-5111 to speak with an expert and schedule a consultation.

Irma Hummel har även medverkat som trädgårdsdesigner i olika avsnitt av serien ”Curb Appeal” på kanalen HGTV, ”Home and Garden Television”. Hon var ansvarig för två projekt i avsnitt som sändes i september 2006 och april 2007. I båda programmen visade hon hur man gör om framsidan och entrén från vardagliga, för att inte säga tråkiga, hus i Washington DC området till trädgårdar som både är funktionella och vackra.
En helt genomgripande förändring – från övergiven tomt till ett privat litet paradis mitt i stan
När vi först kom dit fanns bara en cementerad bilinfart, en uteplats av marksten, ett fallfärdigt trästaket och dräneringsproblem. Efter att cement, asfalt, skräp och jordhögar togs bort skapade vi en ombonad trädgård med en oval gräsmatta inramad av blommande buskar och perenner som ger doft och färg; idealisk för avkoppling och barns lek.
Mycket plats på en liten yta
Bland all bråte fanns en japansk lönn- det enda värt att spara. Målet var att göra plats för många gäster och att sammanföra det västerländska med en touch av österländsk tradition. Låga, breda murar skapade plats för många och bakom dessa planterade vi. Mycket tid och möda lades ner på utförandet av murar och mönster eftersom att ju mindre ytan är ju viktigare blir detaljerna.
The Karch residence from 1790 is located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, VA. It’s a townhome with two gardens, one side yard and one back yard, we’ll be concentrating on the back yard. When I first came in contact with the Karch family the two gardens looked awful. The uneven and old pavement was torn up, the few remaining plants were in very bad shape, it was ugly, dark, shady, slippery and very inhospitable but with a great potential to become spectacular. The owners wanted to improve the drainage, create space for entertaining, space for the BBQ and screen the AC units, everything on 20×20’ approximately! In my eyes it was a wonderful challenge and a very exciting project. To create space for entertaining and people to sit we built the horseshoe shaped stone seat wall around the patio. The idea to the flagstone star pattern came when I found out that Mrs. Karch loves quilts and is from Texas, the Lone Star State. The star is placed in the very centre of the perfectly sized flagstone circle that touches the wall of the house and the seat wall. The old brick was reused, installed around it (all on stone dust) forming concentric circles where very every single brick was cut to fit perfectly. To create drainage, there was none before; we installed a flo-well that has worked very well. The plant selection required some research. All the plants (Hydrangeas, Magnolias, Aucubas, ferns etc) with the exception of the Hostas were used in the late 18th century, perhaps not the exact same varieties but the intent was never to recreate a garden form that time, only to bring something from the past to our days with a little touch! I wanted to play more with texture and tones of green than colour, that’s why we used several chartreuse green plants because they stand out in the shade.
When I first met John Mitchell in Upper Marlboro he was only going to plant a few shrubs and Zoisia, but after we started talking and both got so enthusiastic the plan grew into a complete garden make over! He’s very interested in birds, butterflies and other wild life and wanted to have as many of them as possible visit his garden all year around. Most of the plants were selected because they in some way attract animals, but resist dear, at some point of the year. Where the back yard ends there’s woodland so we decided to add layers of shrubs and perennials, the large bed is horse shoe shaped and runs along the rear and side property lines. We incorporated Callicarpa, Aesculus, Mahonia, Viburnum trilobum, Ilex verticillata among the shrubs, Joe Pye Weed, Bee Balm, Coneflower, Nepeta, Black Eyed Susan and Pennisetum among the perennials. Some, such as the Weeping Willow and Maple were on a separate wish list. The planting around the house is a bit more organized, but not formal. However, we still only used plants that attract animals such as Aesculus, Magnolia, Nandina, roses, Nepeta etc. John now has Hummingbirds, butterflies, all kinds of birds playing in his bird bath and a rabbit (that sleeps in the Nepeta) visiting his garden.
Mrs. Masri contacted me because the small townhouse back yard in Falls Church VA was very uninteresting, dull, charmless and didn’t invite you to be there. It was a regular back yard, 20×20’ with a concrete slab as patio, one tree and an ugly ac-unit that needed to be screened. She wanted a peaceful haven with space to entertain and easy to maintain since she lives part of the year abroad. How to make this work was up to me. We enlarged the patio, but left space for planting, and capped it with irregular flagstone in browner tones. We also added a stone seat wall to maximize the space when she had people over. The most interesting feature in m eyes is the stone bench. It’s centered on the chimney and the main focal point. In its simplicity it’s a stunning piece that was easy to add to a design but almost impossible to implement because of its size and weight. Around the ac unit we built a lattice screen with removable panels, only the posts are fixed. Because the existing tree is a Purple Leaf Plum decided to have the rest of the plants follow the same colour scheme. We planted a mix of different blue grey Hostas, Japanese Painted fern, Tricyrtis and burgundy Heuchera with Hydrangeas in the shade under the tree. On the sunny side we kept the same colours but used Lamb’s Ear, Pennisetum, Sedum, Heuchera and Echinacea with the Hydrangea. On either side of the stone bench we have Schizophragma‘Moon light’. In order to get more greenery against the house we added large burgundy pots with plants, mostly perennials (Hostas, a redleaf Japanese Maple, Pennisetum ‘Rubrum’ etc), in the same blue grey with burgundy tones.

Cirencester has some beautiful award-winning parks and green spaces and even a local nature reserve.
The Abbey Grounds is hidden behind the Market Place and the Parish Church. The grounds contain the site of St Mary's Abbey which was consecrated in 1176 in the presence of Henry II, remaining until the Dissolution in 1539 when the Abbey was completely demolished. The only remaining building is the Norman Arch situated at the north-eastern corner of the grounds.
Originally, apart from the abbey buildings of the church, cloisters and various residences for the Abbot, canons and lay brothers there were two sets of farm buildings in the bounds now marked by the far side of the lake (the former trout lake for the abbey), Dollar Street and Spitalgate Lane. The rest of the grounds were used as gardens and to grow food for the abbey. Until 1963 some of the old farm and abbey buildings were still present, but these were removed to make way for the housing seen today.
The open grounds, lake, wildfowl, trees and greenery form an impressive pastoral centrepiece, inviting restful contemplation of the general town scene. A portion of ancient Roman Wall is also situated in the grounds.
The bandstand in the grounds was completed in 1999 as a millennium project and band performances take place throughout the summer months.
There is an enclosed play area with a large sandpit and 'spiders web' rope climbing frame. A looped path around the grounds is perfect for scooters and bikes and passes the lake and river for feeding the ducks and watching the swans.
You can keep up to date with the latest news from the park on the Abbey Grounds Facebook page.

Il Giardino di Boboli, The Boboli Gardens, is one of my favourite spaces in Florence when it comes to relax. Florence unfortunately hasn't got a lot of parks. Being used to Rome, Florence has turned out to be a bit of a delusion in this field. However, Boboli is a very good choice when you need to get away from the city.
The gardens are part of the enormous and beautiful Palazzo Pitti located in the Oltrarno area. Besides being a very beautiful garden, Boboli also has several great points where to get the perfect panoramic view over Florence and the surrounding landscapes.
Inside the gardens there is a beautiful orangerie and as you walk around you will meet several cats to whom this beautiful place belongs. Remember to also visit the Forte di Belvedere, which has its entrance from the garden. This is where you get one of the most beautiful views.

THE Hoe Valley Scheme, Woking Borough Council’s name for the re-development of Westfield Tip, is proceeding with plans to shore up the area’s flood defences with help from the Environment Agency and money from the building of private homes.
Proposals put forward by the borough council include 130 homes at the site on Westfield Avenue.
Also proposed is a range of flood defences intended to prevent water in a one-in-100 year flood from the Hoe Stream getting into surrounding properties, both planned and existing.
These will stretch from Willow Way and Bonsey Close in the south, following the stream around the Woking leisure centre to finish next to St John the Baptist School in Old Woking.
Part of these defences will include a wetland nature reserve, designed to take water in a flood and accessible to the public.
The public was consulted on the plans in November last year.
Mick Stone, the borough council’s project co-ordinator for the Hoe Valley Scheme, said: “Following a successful public consultation exercise last November, work continues to move forward on the Hoe Valley project, in collaboration with the Environment Agency.
Many of the comments and ideas that were put forward during the consultation are now being incorporated into the scheme and we are drawing up the new set of plans.
“As the project is a complex one, the planning work requires a high degree of detail. However, work is progressing well and it is estimated that the new plans will be completed in September.”


Adding a flower garden is a wonderful addition to any Dallas home. However, if you are new to gardening or have never grown a flower garden before, it can be challenging to know where to begin. While it might seem difficult to start, adding flowers to your home and garden can be a lot of fun for the whole family. Not only that but seeing those flowers spring to life is an incredibly rewarding feeling.
We know how daunting it might be to start creating that beautiful flower garden in your backyard. That is why we have put together our top tips to help you create a visual masterpiece!
Know Your Garden
Before you start jumping in and digging in your backyard, it is important that you truly understand your garden. There are many different factors that you need to consider, including:
One of the first things that you will need to understand is the position of your garden and the area around it. You should spend some time plotting how the sun moves across your backyard. Sunlight is essential to helping plants grow, but different flowers require different amounts of sunlight. That is why knowing those areas in your garden which receive the most (or least) sunlight can help you find the perfect location.
Sunlight is not the only factor that you need to consider. Water is another essential requirement for healthy flowers, but too much, or too little, can be very damaging to your plants. If your garden slopes down, then don’t place your flowerbed at the bottom, as it may be harder for rainwater to drain away.
Know Your Soil
When it comes to gardening in Dallas, another major consideration you need to factor in is the type of soil that you have. There are various different types of soil, and knowing what options you have in your backyard will ensure that you can find the right flowers to match.
In order to determine the quality and type of soil in your home and garden, you will need to conduct a test. To do this, you either take samples from your chosen areas and send them to a testing laboratory or use a home testing kit.
Know Your Flowers
Once you have been able to understand the moisture levels, sunlight, and soil type of your garden, the next thing to know is the type of flowers that best match these conditions. There is a huge array of flowers to choose from, so if you are unsure, then try speaking with your local nursery. They will be able to help you find the right styles most suited to your landscape.
When it comes to deciding which flowers you should plant in your Dallas home and garden, you should also consider your experience levels. If you are just starting out on your gardening journey, then consider choosing some of the easiest options.
Know Your Frost Cycle
Finally, you should also make sure that you have a clear understanding of the different seasons your Dallas home and garden faces. Knowing the average first and last frost dates for your region will help you to start planning when to start planting your flowers.
For the best results, you should aim to plant your seeds around six weeks before the last frost date, giving them enough time to start growing.
Create a Color Palette
Once you have a clear understanding of your garden and the types of flowers that will grow best in those conditions, it’s time to start creating your color palette. This is an important step, and by planning in advance, you will be able to design the most picturesque garden possible.
When creating a color palette for your home and garden, there are several things that you will need to consider:
One mistake that many of those attempting gardening for the first time make is to use too many different colors. That is why when choosing the right scheme for your landscape, you should instead focus on one color. Using different tones of the same color can create a beautiful visual aspect and unify your entire backyard.
Create Some Excitement
Of course, while you want to create some unity across your home and garden, you should still focus on creating excitement. That is why you should not be afraid to add complimentary colors throughout your flower garden, helping you to establish an eye-catching and delightful sight.
If you are not sure of what colors to choose when creating your palette, then try opting for those flowers that are at the opposite end of the color wheel. This helps to establish a lively and memorable combination that will capture your attention and make for a fresh and vibrant garden.
Create Peaceful Areas
While juxtaposition is great, you should still create areas where there are less vibrant colors. In between those bright and eye-catching colors, you should include areas of neutral colors. This will help to create a calming and peaceful flow throughout your backyard.
Focus On The Design
With your color palette created, it’s time to get designing. This is your chance to bring your garden alive and create the ultimate landscape for your home and garden. When designing your backyard, there are a few things that you should keep in mind:
Create a Shape
One of the best gardening tips is to ensure your flowers are created with shape in mind. This not only refers to the physical layout of your plants but also the overall form of the flowers. Whether it is bell shapes, daisies, or spires, try mixing them up to create a dynamic view.
Repetition is not something that you should avoid. Having a design that sees colors and shapes repeat can help to create a unity throughout your home and garden. Repetition also helps to create a calming and relaxing environment.
Layer Your Plants
Another top gardening design tip is to plant your flowers in layers. Being too uniform in their positioning can result in a lack of excitement, so you should try to mix it up to create a more natural-looking flower garden.
Don’t Forget The Fragrance
Finally, you should not forget how your flowers smell. If your flowers are close to your patio or where you’ll be entertaining friends, then it is important to consider the scents that will be created to ensure you can build the most inviting home and garden possible.
While creating a beautiful flower garden might seem a tough task, taking your time and planning carefully will help you enjoy a fantastic outdoor space. If you are not sure where to start, though, then come see us here at Jacksons Home & Garden for more information on how to create your dream garden!
