Outdoor spaces are slowly becoming part of our living spaces with most homeowners preferring to entertain guests in the outdoors rather than indoors. Long gone are the days when people could only stay outside during the day and retire inside the house after sunset. Nowadays people are looking to spend more time in their outdoors, making landscape lighting an essential part of every homeowner’s lighting budget.
Traditionally, landscape illumination involved installing a few security lights, but with time, homeowners have started experimenting with other types of outdoor lighting styles to create different moods. Let us look at the key differences between decorative and functional landscape lighting.
Also known as accent lights, decorative landscape lights can be seen as accent pieces or some form of artwork. The primary function of a decorative light is not to provide light but to decorate a space and bring out its beauty. Light provision comes second on a decorative light’s list of objectives, and the light tweaked to accentuate the fixture’s beauty. Most homeowners use decorative landscape lighting to inject some personality and drama into their outdoor spaces. It also comes in handy when highlighting an already existing decorative piece such as a fountain, a sculpture, or a pool.
Functional lighting, on the other hand, serves the sole purpose of providing direct light. Some places like staircases and doorways require direct light for increased visibility and to prevent accidents. We need a light source to illuminate the door so that we can find the keyhole. We also need lights to light the gate and pavements to make movement outside easier at night. Functional lights are not to be confused with ambient lighting which provides general lighting. Unlike ambient lights which are mostly overhead, functional lights work best in areas that require lots of light for maximum visibility. It is not uncommon to find functional lights installed on walls above doorways and close to the ground on walkways. Others like the RAB Flood Lamp are more flexible and can be placed anywhere from the ground to high up on the wall.
Most decorative landscape lights do not produce too much light. Low light production is part of the aesthetic appeal that decorative lights seek to achieve. A typical decorative landscape light uses illusions for aesthetic purposes. It is not surprising to find a decorative light pointed at a flower pot or a well to play around with the shadows. Other decorative lights have decorated shades which utilize light to accentuate their beauty. Most decorative outdoor lighting is dim, and the bright ones are mostly pointed at walls or other beautiful pieces around the garden to highlight their aesthetic appeal.
One of the main characteristics of functional lights is a high light output. Functional outdoor lights’ primary purpose is light provision so they would have to be bright to fulfil that purpose. In most cases, functional lights sacrifice aesthetics for functionality which makes sense since homeowners mostly install them in the darkest corners of the garden. They are also commonly used along pathways and doorways.
Decorative lighting consumes little power. The primary intention of installing decorative lighting is to enhance the aesthetics of a space. Light production is second on a decorative light’s list of priorities. For this reason, most decorative lights are not powerful since they do not need to produce too much light. This translates to low power consumption by decorative lighting. Some outdoor decorative lights like Doingart Lily Flower Lights even use solar power translating to zero electric power consumption.
Functional lights, on the other hand, are designed to be powerful enough to light up a large area. Power consumption in functional lights is mostly high since their primary function is light provision. You only need to buy a small number of strategically placed functional lights to light up your entire garden, but they will need a lot of power to do that. You can, however, rest easy since most functional outdoor lights use LED bulbs. One of the advantages of using LED bulbs is that they consume very little power. They also last longer than most types of bulbs ensuring that your functional lighting lasts longer reducing the need to keep on replacing them.
The name alone is a dead giveaway that decorative landscape lighting focuses more on aesthetics. Decorative lights are generally appealing to look at since they emit warm light and have great designs. Most decorative lights are hung across the trees or on the patio. Others are pointed towards beautiful pieces around the garden and use shadows to create beautiful illusions. Wherever you may choose to install them, keep in mind that their primary purpose is aesthetics.
Landscape functional lighting does not focus on aesthetics. Most functional lights do not look too appealing to the eye either because they trade aesthetics for functionality. They are quite bright so it beats logic to make them too aesthetic when you cannot even look at them directly because of the bright light they emit. Their area of installation is another reason why most of them are not aesthetic. Landscape lights find their use in dark areas of the garden, pathways, staircases, and doorways, which are all areas where most, if not all homeowners do not spend much time.

Our Fabrics basically creates a microclimate providing uniform ventilation there by encouraging early growth and development of the plant and/or crop with the valuable end result of both improvement in quality and yield.
Our fabric protects the plant from cold and frost up to approx 5OC some circulating moisture is trapped by it and in the event of a frost this film freezes providing the plant with natural frost protection. It minimizes the dangers caused by hail, heavy rains and storms.
Our fabric is used as a covering material for garden, protective material from agricultural vermin, heavy rain, overheating. This material ensures optimal microclimate for growth of plants and reduces the periods of maturing. It is also used as a covering material for greenhouse, garden-beds and for protection from frost, covering material for ground mulching and dealing with weeds.


The Belmont DeVilliers (West Hill) neighborhood, a long-standing center of Pensacola's African-American community, has undergone a revitalization project that is giving its four-block core a new look. The streetscape project brings new sidewalks, historic street lighting, landscaping, and brick crosswalks to a neighborhood that is one of the city's most historic.
The next step in the continued revitalization of the area is the implementation of the Land Use Plan that involved residents, property owners and businesses in the area to develop the guide for the future of their neighborhood. An essential element of the plan is that it includes ideas and strategies for actually implementing the overall revitalization concepts that are identified. As with any plan of this magnitude, there will be elements that can begin right away and others that will take 5, 10 or 20 years to realize fully. During the 3-month process neighborhood businesses, residents and property owners, with the assistance of HHI Consultants of Orlando and CRA staff, identified opportunities and issues related to land use/development patterns, transportation, traffic management, infrastructure, parking, streetscapes, safety, open/public spaces and redevelopment initiatives.
The Future Land Use Plan was recognized with an Award of Innovation for Redevelopment / Revitalization from the Florida Planning and Zoning Association, May 2005. Public participation and stakeholder input were critical components of the process that has resulted in this Future Land Use Plan.

Landscape Containers that Address the Sculptural Spirit of Contemporary Architecture
(Phoenix, Arizona) — “Dramatic, elegant and sculptural,” are adjectives frequently used to describe the Dune Series Landscape Containers, Kornegay Design’s most recent addition to their line of cast concrete site furnishings. Artist and designer Larry Kornegay attributes the undulating, rhythmic imagery crated by desert sand dunes as the inspiration for the graceful contour of the container and for the rim’s subtle wind-swept form. The tranquil simplicity of the Dune Series provides a point of synergy with the sculptural qualities of contemporary architecture.
The Dune Series demonstrates Larry Kornegay’s mastery of using cast concrete as a sculptural media. The wide rim of the Dune Series showcases the fine quality of Kornegay Design’s cast concrete surfaces, the result of a manufacturing method in which only enough concrete used to fill each mold is mixed and the molds are filled and tended by hand. A production process that requires less water and minimizes waste.
With the addition of the Dune Series, Kornegay Design now offers six distinctive styles of cast concrete landscape containers. All products are available in a wide range of integrally colored concrete.
About Kornegay Design
Kornegay Design, a Landscape Forms Company, is a Phoenix-based landscape architectural designer and manufacturer of cast concrete site furnishings. It was founded by Larry and Paula Kornegay in 1997.

PLANS to create a new community on the site of the Govan Graving Docks are being brought forward.
The residential proposals, which form part of the broader vision for the regeneration of the historic site, would see up to 310 homes constructed. They would take up less than 20 per cent of the overall dock area.
Following initial consultation last summer, the proposals have been revised to incorporate feedback and now include a commercial unit that will serve the new and surrounding communities.
Members of the public will be able to have their say on the updated proposals at upcoming public consultation events on Thursday 1 June and Thursday 20 July at the Riverside Hall between 12:30 and 4:30pm and The Pearce Institute between 5:30 and 7:30pm.
The opportunity to view the proposals and submit comments is also available via the project website.
Harry O’Donnell, chairman of developer New City Vision, said: “We are thrilled to bring forward plans for the creation of a vibrant community at the Govan Graving Docks. The revised proposals are the product of our consultation with the community last summer and I am pleased that we have been able to incorporate their feedback and include a commercial space within the development.
“Forming one component of our vision for the site, the residential proposals sit alongside our wider regeneration project, which includes the restoration of the Dock No.1 for historic ship repair, the creation of a new riverside park, and the historic pumphouse building reactivated into a venue for community use, sympathetic to the site’s heritage.
“Following constructive dialogue with Glasgow City Council, a new proposal of application Notice has been submitted to Glasgow City Council’s planning department, allowing us to further build on our engagement with the community at our upcoming consultation events.
“I would encourage anyone with an interest in the proposals to attend and leave their thoughts on our proposals with the project team.”
The consultation events are being delivered separately from an ongoing consultation to design a riverside park and active travel route on the site.

If you don’t feel like yours it right in that area, that’s OK. I have some things to tell you that will help you with creating backyard bliss in your yard today. So many people today just let their backyards go. It turns into a jungle that no one ever ventures into. Sometimes this is because people lead such busy lives that they don’t have time to keep up their backyards like they should or like they want to.
Creating a Solid Foundation, The good news is that this may start with what you already have. Here, use only things that are reliably winter hardy. This is the skeleton for your backyard landscape and we want it strong. Large trees, evergreen shrubs and small understory trees, and perennials that return year after year will set your foundation. This is completely specific to your area.

Birds are very resourceful when it comes to looking for their food. They can find it in their natural habitat but in extreme circumstances, they can only manage to find enough to live. But there are birds that rely on what your bird feeders can offer especially to tough months like the winter months.

A good garden design not only depends on the plants that you plant in it and the garden lay-out. Garden pots and other plant containers add beauty and texture to your over-all garden look. They add interest and if you place them in a certain way, you can make a regular garden, a spectacular one. There are many in which you can use garden containers to the advantage of your garden.

You are very satisfied with how your new garden grows except for that spot where no matter what you plant, it won’t prosper and grow. Now, what will you do with that spot? The answer is to put a hardscape on that spot. But what is a hardscape? A hardscape refers to paved areas like sidewalks for housing developments but in your case, this will refer to the brick patios, sidewalks, retaining walls and water features. Hardscapes are placed in areas where human traffic is allowed to flow and in areas where there is barren earth.

What is bonsai? Bonsai originated from China and is the intricate art of miniaturizing trees and shrubs through the pruning of its trunk and roots and growing them in small and shallow pots or trays. Growing bonsai plants involves great amount of patience and care so that the resulting plant will achieve that characteristic look of a bonsai. The art of growing bonsai plants originated in China and was then taken up by the Japanese who took it into a much more venerated and refined art form.

Besides enjoying pumpkin-spiced everything and thinking about what you’ll be for Halloween this year, fall is a great time to give your lawn an extra boost to make it through the upcoming winter months.
By: Evan Winkler, Landscape Design Assistant
This month a small group of landscape professionals, including our Design Assistant Evan Winkler, gathered at the Covenant House to participate in a Pondless Waterfall Workshop hosted by MPR Supply Company.
The Covenant House is a non-profit here in St. Louis, which provides emergency shelter to homeless youth; as well as providing the skills and resources to become successful members of our community. As part of that mission, the Covenant House is turning an empty side yard into a serenity garden. Many at-risk youth suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and the garden will be a safe place for reflection and meditation.
What started as digging a hole in the ground quickly became a one-of-a-kind pondless waterfall. Now anchoring the northeast corner of the future serenity garden, a pondless waterfall in this location has many benefits.
For more information on pondless waterfalls or if you’d like to speak with a Quiet Village Landscaping expert on creation of your own pondless waterfall, please contact our office at (314) 657-7050 or email email@example.com
It was a privilege for Quiet Village to take part in this workshop which was both educational and supportive to the efforts of our community.


The wood in Wellsborough, near Market Bosworth
An historic, hundred year old wood in rural Leicestershire has been restored to its former glory by a local developer.
The three acre wood in Wellsborough, near Market Bosworth, has proud royal connections as it was once owned by King James II and the Queen’s father, King George VI, planted a cedar tree there during a royal visit in 1928.
Years of neglect had seen the wood become overgrown and inaccessible but now Leicestershire-based builders Springbourne Homes has transformed the area, restoring key features and planting a new wild flower garden, and has now incorporated it into its luxury Hornsey Rise development in Bosworth Road, Wellsborough.
Springbourne’s site manager Marc Harding and assistant Chris Clark masterminded the remarkable renovation, with Marc saying: “It was a major undertaking as the wood had been left abandoned for so long but it was well worth all the time and effort. We’re really pleased with how it has turned out, the views are amazing, the wood is currently carpeted with bluebells and when the wild flowers are bedded in and established it should all look terrific.
“Most of the residents have already been over here to monitor the progress and they’re delighted with how it’s gone and excited about how it will develop in the coming months and years. That makes it all worthwhile and there’s a real feelgood factor for everyone at Springbourne that we’re leaving behind such a legacy at Hornsey Rise.”
Springbourne’s Hornsey Rise legacy also includes the renovation of a World War One Memorial and stylish conversion of a 1930s chapel at the remarkable location that dates back to Lady Godiva and Leofric, Earl of Mercia.
The wood was originally created in the grounds of the former NATSOPA Memorial Care Home, which opened in 1921 to care for retired and recuperating printers King George visited the care home when he was still Duke of York, and met with staff and nurses during a tour of the facilities before planting the Cedar Tree.
The care home was eventually shut down in 2012 and the wood soon became neglected and overgrown but Springbourne Homes Chairman Adrian Burr pledged to retain and restore the three acre feature when he began to develop the site in 2019.
With Springbourne’s Hornsey Rise development now approaching completion, Marc and Chris have spent two months working tirelessly to clear the wood, cutting back trees, pruning bushes, clearing brambles and weeds, before creating the new pathway.
They’ve also reclaimed the original stone steps and seating area which have now been fully restored with the wild flower garden now planted either side to re-create the scene from a bygone age and encourage bees, butterflies and other insects to the area to help protect our future.
The pair also created a new, rustic focal point at the bottom of the steps with felled tree trunks providing seating around a cleverly constructed selection of reclaimed stones from the old wood. The work has been completed just in time for the bluebell season with a stunning array of the Spring time flowers covering large tracts of the wood to add even more beauty to the picturesque setting.
The hope is that, when the wildflowers are established and in bloom, the wood will be a fitting reminder of how things used to be a hundred years ago.

The Garden Design Company
We may still be in the depths of winter but if you are considering a garden project to be ready for this summer, now is the time to start planning it.
Don’t underestimate the importance of taking time to work through the design and planning phases, the success of your project will rely heavily on how meticulously you have thought through the detail.
One of the questions that should drive the complexity of your design is whether you will be building it yourself, or you will contract the services of a professional landscaper.
If you are doing this yourself, there are a few things to consider:
1. Ensure the design reflects your skills set and physical ability to ensure that your health and safety are not put at risk and this includes considering the weight of the materials you intend to use and how they will be managed.
2. Before you commence works, ensure you have checked with your local authorities that the content of your design does not require planning or building control permissions. If you reside within a Conservation area you must check-in with your local authority.
3. Make sure you know where utilities run through your garden.
4. If your design includes complex elements such as retaining levels or load then make sure you seek professional advice to ensure these items are built to the correct specification.
5. Try to re-use as much material onsite as you can.
6. Both during your build and after, consider drainage and how water is to be managed.
If you are undertaking your project with the services of a professional landscaper, ensure they have all the correct insurances and that you have carried out due diligence on their previous performance through references. Make it your business to ensure that you are contracting a company who can demonstrate that they adopt safe working practices and equip their workforce appropriately.
Considering a garden project this year and looking for support? The Garden Design Company Scotland Ltd., under the direction of Kirsty McLean, award winning garden designer and writer will guide you through the process.
The Garden Design Company has over twenty years Design & Build experience with an extensive portfolio including residential and commercial gardens. The process is simple and modular, making it easy to access what you need and within your budgetary consideration.
In support of the various stages of design, 3D sketches and photorealistic visuals are offered to provide the client with visual confirmation of how the detail and finished garden will look. This ensures that everyone involved in the project, communally understands and buys into the agreed vision thus reducing the possibility for misunderstandings.
So whether you are looking for general advice or want someone to oversee every aspect from concept to completion, a consultation with The Garden Design Company is the first step toward creating the garden you’ve always wanted.

POTRERO OFFICE UPDATE
When we got our new office in Potrero Hill, we moved in with a landscape design firm that already had been in the space for several years. We devised a new layout that worked for everybody, but soon realized the office needed an update to function well and be presentable to clients.
While the work stations largely remained in place, we switched out most of the furniture for better quality, more suitable size, increased storage, and for finishes to fit the industrial architecture of the space. We ended up with a modern and efficient office that suits the style of both landscaper and interior designer.

The San Gabriel River Trail extends from the base of the San Gabriel Mountains all the way to the Pacific Ocean. A key component to LA's transportation infrastructure, the trail will eventually connect to the Rio Hondo and Whittier Greenway to form the backbone of a huge trail system for the region. The trail travels through a diverse landscape of industrialized and natural areas, including Santa Fe dam recreation area and the Whittier narrows. Parking and restrooms are available at the ranger station at the north end and beach access at the southern end.

1 yr-12". Early season. Fruit is very large and firm. The berry is formed on tight clusters and it tends to be flatter than other cultivars. Ripens early. Bush is upright, open, and vigorous. Excellent landscape variety with showy white blooms in the spring, dark green foliage in the summer, and fiery orange fall colors.


DEVELOPMENT of the new Shannon Town Park will begin in the coming week.
The proposed works include formal footpaths and a cycle track, an adventure play area and a bandstand/performance area, the first cycle pump track to be built in the Mid West Region, formal and informal seating areas, lighting and signage, the creation of a natural water feature and new native woodland planting. The development will also include a new Toucan pedestrian/cycle crossing on Bóthar Linne.
The proposal to deliver the €910,000 flagship park for Shannon Town has been developed by Clare County Council with co-funding through the Southern Regional Assembly’s Operational Programme 2014-2020. The design proposals have been prepared by Nicholas de Jong Associates|Urban Design (Limerick), commissioned by Clare County Council, following extensive consultation with the community and key stakeholders in January 2017, which included invaluable feedback from local residents, the schools, SkyCourt, the Garda Station, the Shannon Venue and the Leisure Centre. The statutory Part 8 approval for the scheme was obtained in April 2017.
Cllr. Mike McKee, Cathaoirleach of Shannon Municipal District said, “This is a very important and worthwhile local project that will deliver long term, positive benefits for the people of Shannon and surrounding areas. Once delivered, the Shannon Town Park will act as a focal point for the wider community, and will also enhance the recreational opportunities for children, youths and adults in the wider Shannon area.”
Pat Dowling, Chief Executive of Clare County Council, explained that Clare County Council is funding half of the overall cost of the project with the balance of the overall cost being provided in EU funding from the Southern Regional Assembly’s Operational Programme 2014-2020 to support sustainable urban development in the Limerick-Shannon Gateway.
Following a competitive tender process, the construction contract has been awarded to the Crawford Group (County Wexford), which has extensive experience in the construction of several similar public parks. The planned construction period is 6 months, giving completion of the Park towards the end of autumn 2018. The Contractor will ensure that disruption during the works is kept to a minimum, and will provide regular notifications to local stakeholders during the construction period.
Further information and updates on the new Shannon Town Park project is available on the Clare County Council website, www.clarecoco.ie.

A square ended shovel is ideal for removing large amounts of earth at once but they do tend to be tougher to push into the ground. Its often useful to use them on softer earth or for transporting piles of mud that have already been formed. They also make great tools for dispensing compost and manure based fertilizer over the area you wish to focus on.
The triangular spade can make a fine all purpose tool and is in particular handy for creating those larger holes that are required to transplant larger shrubs or plant trees. One version is the telescope handle shovel which is fitted with a very narrow blade - similar to a trowel by with a longer handle. They are perfect for making small holes while standing upright and are also great for many weeding tasks.
Bonsai trees can create such a wonderful ambiance in someones home. The feng shui attributes are unlike any other. It is like having your own living miniature forest whether you have three trees or five. Nonetheless the Bonsai will require much of your attention and care. An indoor Bonsai garden can be designed in many ways. For example: set up your trees among a small pebble garden raked in circular patterns or designs. Or you can have a garden indoors with little trees arranged on a cascade of stones or granite. Its your choice.

CULTURAL NOTES: Rhododendrons are usually trouble free in growing, provided care is taken in the initial planting. Their main requirements are a LIME-FREE soil, plenty of water and some shelter from scorching sun and wind.
SITE SELECTION: A good rule of thumb is, the smaller the foliage, the more sun-tolerant. Big leaved species, and hybrids such as the Loderis, are woodland plants and require shelter from wind and sun. By sheltering the flowers from heat and sun, the longevity of blooming will be improved. However, avoid planting too close to established trees and shrubs which can take all the moisture from the soil. Also ensure that the soil is sufficiently well drained to prevent waterlogging in the winter.
SOIL PREPARATION AND PLANTING: Rhododendrons are acid loving and prefer a well-drained soil with a pH of 4.5 to 6, though they can be grown satisfactorily in neutral soils (up to pH 7). Always dig a large hole, at least 2-3 times the size of the rootball, and incorporate leaf mould, peat, planting compost or well rotted manure into the soil. Never use spent mushroom compost as this contains LIME. A light dressing of fertiliser is normally beneficial, but avoid this if the planting compost already contains fertiliser, or when planting any of the taliensia and neriiflora series of species, which are particularly sensitive to fertiliser. Rhododendrons hate been planted too deep. Plant the top of the rootball level with the soil and add 50-100mm mulch (Forest Bark Plus) to conserve moisture, insulate the soil, and reduce weed growth.
GENERAL CARE: Newly planted Rhododendrons should recieve a light fertiliser dressing in early March and after flowering. They also require plenty of water, particularly during establishment in the first two seasons. It should be remembered that many Rhododendrons originate from areas of high rainfall, such as the Himalayas, where rainfall can exceed 190cm between May and September, compared to an annual British average of 75cm. A long soak once per week is better than a light daily sprinkle. Rainwater is best, but tap water is better than no water.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given both on our lists and labels. However, some details may vary according to special or geographical circumstances. Varieties offered are subject to availability.


|When planting Arborvitae's how far apart do you plant them? They are 18month old transplants
|The answer to your question depends on the variety of arborvitae you are planting and what their purpose is. For example, for a mature planting where they just touch at the edges you would plant them far enough apart to accommodate that. For a hedge, they would be closer together than their mature width, but the actual space would depend on the variety you are growing and how tall you expect to let it grow. Remember that the little plants will grow rather quickly; even at a rate of a foot or two a year they will expand rapidly. Plan ahead so you don't have to tear them out in five years because they have overgrown their space -- even though they may look "silly" for the first year or two!


Planners pave way for construction of Crown Estate and Land Securities joint venture
A joint venture between the Crown Estate and Land Securities has won planning permission from Oxford council for its planned £500m Westgate retail development.
The scheme will entail the refurbishment of the existing Westgate centre and the redevelopment of adjacent land to the south, providing over 81,000 sq m of shops, over 30,000 sq m of restaurant and leisure space, and up to 122 new homes.
The joint venture behind the development, called the Alliance, has already secured John Lewis as its anchor tenants and says the development is scheduled to open in 2017.
It will have enough space for 100 shops, and provide two new public squares, a landscaped walkway and new 24 hour pedestrian routes.
The plans were developed over the last four years by four architects, Allies & Morrison, Dixon Jones Architects, Glen Howells Architects and Panter Hudspith, with the process being overseen by Westgate masterplanners BDP.
Sara Fuge, development manager, Westgate Oxford Alliance, said she was delighted at the news. “We look forward to continue working with Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council and the local community as we progress with stage two in developing our detailed designs.”
Councillor Bob Price, Leader of Oxford City Council, said the need for the development reflected the fact the city’s retail offer had failed to keep pace with the expansion of the local economy. “We are very pleased with the high quality of design and the attention to the environmental impact of the development that Westgate Oxford Alliance has proposed. The creation of new public spaces, a large bike hub and links across to the Oxford Castle development are all very welcome features of the new Westgate.”

Published at Wednesday, 25 September 2019. Backyard. By Aurore Aucoin.
Create the Tropical Landscape Effect, Now that you have a foundation, or backdrop, it is time to add the tropical effect plants to turn that normal backyard or swimming pool landscape into your own tropical paradise. Here, you’ll use true tropical plants that have to be treated as annuals in your area, unless you are willing to go to great lengths to protect them from winter chill. There are many plants that are tropical or sub-tropical that, with a little protection, will come back from roots each spring (i.e. bananas, elephant ears). Then, there are the interesting, tropical looking plants that may have no problems at all with winter weather.
So, How do You do It? If you were lucky enough to live in an area that never has to suffer extended cold weather, you probably wouldn’t be reading this to begin with. You would have a year-round growing season with no fear of freezing temperatures, and you could grow whatever you wanted. For most of us, that is not reality so we’re going to have to get creative if we want to create that exotic, tropical backyard landscape, our very own little tropical escape.
Entertainment: You can continue to enjoy gatherings in your backyard as dusk rolls in, instead of everyone packing up and heading inside at the first sign of nighttime. Everyone can relax outside in your beautifully landscaped backyard and enjoy themselves under the star-lit sky. Imagine sitting around your bamboo tiki-bar with a colorful array of stringed lights cascading along the roof and counter-top. In addition to that, little lights that gently illuminate along your patio and walkway so guests can see where they are going as they journey and marvel through your landscape. What an extraordinary and gratifying ambiance! Everyone will love getting together in your backyard.

Most of us are fairly familiar with what lies within the Queen’s Park Circle, i.e., the Legislature and its grounds. However, just outside the circle there are many other places of interest, often less well known. This walk wends its way right around the outside of the circle without actually touching it. It includes several gardens, lots of sculptures, parts of the U of T, memorials to firemen and police, underground rivers and much more!
Lunch: The Duke of York pub (near St. George Station)


This section of the Dardenne Greenway (paved) is located off Highway 40/I-64 between Winghaven Boulevard and Highway K. It parallels Dardenne Creek in St. Charles County, north of Highway I-64.
The greenway loops three miles through residential areas within the BaratHaven community in St. Charles County and is part of the surrounding 80-acre BaratHaven Park. Part of the greenway winds around a 15-acre lake and features wetlands that have been created to enrich the habitat of native animals and plants. Immediately to the east, the greenway continues into Bluebird Meadow Park, with a restored wetland and prairie landscape.
This section of the Dardenne Greenway meanders through a residential area and is near some commercial development, but it feels rural and offers lots of green, open space to explore and enjoy.
Those using the greenway can enjoy quiet and calming views of Dardenne Creek, stop and have lunch at a picnic table or sit on a bench to relax and breathe in the fresh air. There are several lovely native Missouri plantings that were specially selected not only for their hardiness and beauty, but also to provide privacy to neighboring homes.
The Dardenne Greenway is open year-round. Please note that the trail is not plowed of snow or ice.
There are no fees to visit the greenway.
The trail is mostly flat and mostly accessible to people using wheelchairs. Please note there is section of the trail that has been rerouted due to a washout along the creek; this section is gravel and may be difficult for people in wheelchairs to traverse.
Pet Friendly Notes
Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash.


Robinson Nature Center was the recipient of a 2014 WoodWorks Award, which celebrates excellence in wood design, engineering and construction as well as innovative projects that showcase various attributes of wood including strength, beauty, and sustainability.
WoodWorks received 140 nominations that spanned eight different categories. The GWWO designed Robinson Nature Center was named the winner in the Institutional Wood Design category, which recognizes the benefits of wood in applications such as libraries, municipal buildings and recreational facilities.
There were three influential factors in GWWO’s choice to use wood as the project’s main material— aesthetics, sustainability, and ease of construction. Foremost, as a nature center, it was extremely important that Robinson appear modest upon approach while also minimizing the impact on the site and working in harmony with the setting. By using cedar for the exterior, the siding blends seamlessly with the natural landscaping of the site, making it aesthetically pleasing to the eye and leaving nature itself as the main focal point of the attraction. Inside, the rich tones provided by the ash slats and oak flooring provide a warm welcome for visitors. Secondly, achieving the highest level of LEED Certification possible was of paramount importance and by using wood that was either FSC-Certified, low-emitting, recycled and/or regionally produced, the nature center was able to achieve Platinum Certification. Finally, the ease of construction that is inherent with wood in comparison with other materials, including its forgiving nature and production ease, made it an easy choice. Throughout the facility, one can find multiple types of wood including ash, cedar, southern pine, and oak.


Antoni Roselló has transferred a geometry inspired in the art of Mondrian to a totally different setting, the tree grid surrounding a tree, with the intention of dignifying an underestimated element and make our sidewalks places for artistic expression. The choice of materials responds to specific characteristics that make these elements long-lasting and dote them with ageing properties that accentuate their expressiveness. The element fulfills the function of protecting citizens from the gap around the tree and delimits, while at the same time enhancing, the area between the tree and the urban pavement.
The artistic value of this tree grid, between an urban object and a sculpture, is due to the combination of disciplines dominated by its creator, a homage to the outlook of art.
The tree grid is composed of two or four equal pieces of sandblasted cast iron without any later treatment.
The tree grid measures 148 x 148 cm and 98 x 98 cm.
It is delivered disassembled.
Assembly instructions are included.
Hot galvanised steel frame.
No maintenance required.
Weights 98 x 98 cm / 148 x 148: 85 kg / 204 kg.


Situated 10 km inland from Beruwela, Brief Garden was the country home of Bevis Bawa, the older brother of Sri Lanka’s most famous architect, Geoffrey Bawa. Brief Garden garden inspired him to create his own landscape garden in nearby Lunuganga. The 8 hectare property of Brief Garden has been open to the public since 1970. Visitors take an independent walk by themselves through the ladscape garden. The beloved Frangipanis are among the more than 100 tree species of the garden. Visitors will finally be guided in the main house with several works of art produced here. It used to be the residence of Bevis Bawa and a long-time abode of other artists who lived here as his guests.

Part 2 – The Design Process
So, where do you begin?
It is always a good idea to get a pad of paper and a pencil. List all the things that you can think of for your garden. Take into consideration the members of the family, the pets, the activities you enjoy and any other uses for the space. Evaluate your budget and the value of your project.
The next thing to do is look around. Visit nurseries, public gardens, friends and neighbors. Take pictures of plants and scenes that you love. Read up on things like swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, fish ponds, waterfalls, native plants, water conservation, green houses, exotic plants, or whatever your passion is. Become informed.
At this point you may be ready to work with a landscape designer. They are experienced in helping you to establish a direction and visualize your garden. A site study and plans will pull the project together for you. This part is time consuming but necessary. It will dictate the overall success of your project.
Once your plan is established and you feel ready to move forward with construction, find a reliable contractor that shares the vision with you and your designer. They will help you understand what to expect next.
Remodeling and construction are disruptive and stressful. You may want to take a vacation or even close off parts of your home. It is good to follow the progress of the project but allow the crews to get their work done without too much interruption. Keep the children and pets safely out of harms way. Protect your vehicles and furnishings from dust and dirt.
It is helpful to keep your goal in mind. You will have a garden to enjoy and relax in when it is all finished. If your landscape planning was good the project will be a success.

⚠Laying Recommendations: When grouting slabs, we highly recommend avoiding using grouts with significantly contrasting colors. This is because the hardener in the grout resin can create marks on textured slabs that may prove challenging or even impossible to remove. In the event that grout comes into contact with the slab surface, please clean it immediately to minimize the risk of the hardener with significant color contrast adhering and causing temporary staining.

Thuja Plicata 'Martin'
Thuja commonly known as Western Red Cedar is a popular alternative to Leylandii. Thuja boasts dark green sharply pointed leaves held in drooping sprays and red-brown bark. Although it is slower growing than Leylandii it is often a much bushier plant.
Grows well in most soil conditions, avoid planting in water-logged soil.
RHS Hardiness Rating: H6
The growth rate is on average of 40-60cm a year.
Please note there is a 1-2 week lead time on all Root Ball Hedging orders


Seven varieties of native ferns have been planted at a new fern garden at Pembroke Mill Pond in the latest green enhancement to the town.
The garden is tucked away in a shady corner of the Mill Pond walk near the town walls – providing perfect growing conditions for the plants.
The fern garden was created by volunteers from Roots to Recovery programme, a people-led project all about the restorative powers of Pembrokeshire’s amazing outdoors.
The new garden will make a significant difference to a previously overgrown and neglected area, as Maisie Sherratt explains.
“The before and after photos above show how much ivy and bramble and other unwanted greenery we removed. The new and improved fern garden is a lovely addition to the Millpond walk,” said Maisie, from the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
“We have a few more jobs lined up around the Castle and the Millpond for the coming months, it’s really enjoyable being able to make a difference to this area and always lovely when locals walk pass and say thank you to the group for their efforts.”
Sara Walters, from Mind Pembrokeshire, who works alongside Maisie on the project added: “We want to say a big thank you to the lovely ladies at Pembroke Town Hall where we meet up before activities, always so helpful and accommodating and absolutely wonderful with our group members too!”
Other work carried out by ‘Roots to Recovery’ in Pembroke include wildflower seed sowing on the Barnard’s Tower bank, clearance of invasive vegetation around the Castle Pond, clearance of built-up vegetation around the dipping platform, and tree weeding at Barnard’s Tower.
Roots to Recovery is delivered in partnership by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Mind Pembrokeshire, supported through the National Lottery Community Fund.
The materials for the Fern Garden project were funded through a Welsh Government grant (Local Places for Nature) to the Pembrokeshire Nature Partnership which is all about connecting people with nature where they live and work. This element of the work is led by Pembrokeshire County Council’s Regeneration Unit.


People sometimes marvel at a work of art because they cannot conceive of the imagination that was involved. This is a dynamic that can also be applied to urban design architects. A person who is in another field of endeavor may walk down the street and see what is there, and of course, this is absolutely normal. On the other hand, a talented, visionary urban design architect will have two experiences simultaneously. The architect will see what is there like the ordinary layperson, but he or she will see what could be there as well.
This is what our company, ReTown, is all about. We endeavor to transform existing urban areas to maximize their potential, but we never lose sight of the history and the connection to the existing structures.
Our approach to urban rejuvenation has three distinct phases that blend into one another seamlessly. First, our urban design architects “ReThink” the area that we will be redeveloping, and we ask ourselves a lot of questions during this part of the process. How can we make the quality of life better for people in the area? How do we build a historical bridge from the past to the present? How will commercial property and residential structures interface? How can landscape architecture add another dimension?
The second part is the “ReInvest” stage. Because of our vast experience as urban design architects, we understand how to obtain the financing that is needed to execute our creative visions. In most cases, there will be a combination of private funding coupled with funding that is coming from the public sector.
When these first two pieces are in place, we go to work on the “ReBuild” phase, and ultimately, the vision that our urban design architects imagined at the outset comes to life. If you would like to see some examples of the work that we done over the years, take a few moments to explore the portfolio page on this website. We are certainly proud our past accomplishments, but we also look forward to the new projects that lie over the horizon.
We would be more than glad to discuss a potential project with you if you have something in mind. You can reach us by phone at 708-442-4545, and you can also feel free to send us a message electronically through our contact page.

While it grows well in many areas of the country, its natural distribution range is very restricted – on the banks of the Komati River to the south of Komatipoort. The only visual similarities to D. adhatodoides are the shape of the flowers and how they grow on the shrub. Also a great very neat screening shrub, the leaves are much smaller and brighter green in colour. The flowers are much smaller, with the same orchid style flower, but a lemon cream rather than white, and with the same purple stripe inside the flower tube. Fruits are also club-shaped, splitting open with a much smaller cracking sound, being of a much smaller size. It can be propagated the same way as D. adhatodoides. A smaller shrub than our other species, reaching 3 m in height, it has a medium growth rate, flowering as young as 2 years. A very neat shrub, it creates a bright green screen in light to semi-shade. While D adhatodoides can be more tree- like, this species retains all of the branches at ground level. It prefers areas with a warm summer, is sensitive to frost, and will cope with a short drought period. Its smaller size makes it perfect for very small gardens. In light shade plant it with the dark leafed groundcover, Plectranthus ciliatus in front, with the dark strappy leaves of Dietes grandiflora or butcheriana, or in a mixed shrubbery. Planted with other shrubs under tall trees like Celtis africana it will help to create the layered, protective shrubbery so loved by birds.

Anything with big, deep green leaves works great, and all the better if it is evergreen. Ornamental grasses like Pampus and Maiden grass make great foundation plants. They seem to add a care-free feel to the landscape as they move with the wind. You should be able to find several that are adapted to your area. Finally, try to find some color for the foundation. Any shrub or tree that flowers and is well adapted to your area is great for your foundation. Crepe myrtles are favorites in southern landscapes. Remember, the idea here is to set that permanent foundation. You’ll definitely want to use things that are reliable in your area, and will not succumb to winter cold.
The least durable backyard fireplaces will be made of thin metals and clay. They will also be less expensive. The more durable ones would be made of stainless steel, cast iron or aluminum. Copper is also quite durable, but you need to know that it does oxidize and will change color from golden-bronze to a greenish hue. Also, you should be aware of the fact that iron may rust if left out in the rain and snow. You will find backyard fireplaces that are fueled by wood, natural gas, liquid and gel. The gases burn cleaner and there is less mess than wood. Of course, with wood fireplaces you will have more work to do such as cutting the wood for the fire but many people enjoy the crackle and pop of a real outdoor fire. If you choose natural gas, you will need to install the gas line and the fireplace will be placed in a permanent location rather than being able to move it around.
Having a beautifully landscaped backyard is one thing, but equally important is having your space effectively lit. While backyards provide several benefits, such as engendering family gatherings, providing entertainment for you and your loved ones, or simply being your space of escape and more; a backyard lighting system will paint the finishing details to your landscape. Just like how landscaping contributes to the aesthetic and value to your home, lighting can enhance and highlight desired features while creating that perfect ambiance for your guests. Keep reading for benefits and tips on how you can enjoy your backyard night or day with key lighting concepts and more.

Water Soluble Packets Pond Dye
Pond Dye is part of the complete program to transform your pond or dugout into a beautiful body of water. Why use Pond Dye? Algae and aquatic weeds require sunlight to grow and pond dye shades the pond from the UV Light which helps shade the pond, keep the water temperature cooler and slow the growth of the algae and aquatic weeds. The dye is beautiful looking and comes in 2 colours- natures blue and black dyemond.
These water-soluble packets are so easy to use. There is no need to rip or tear the packets you simply throw them into the water and watch the plastic dissolve, releasing the dye into your pond. No mess!

For more than two decades, the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation has put up yellow ropes along property borders to signal a new land acquisition campaign is launching. SCCF’s 2021 acquisition target is a 12-acre parcel featuring wetland habitat extending 1,800 feet back from Periwinkle Way to the freshwater river known locally as the Sanibel Slough.
The property, dubbed Periwinkle Wetlands for SCCF’s fundraising campaign, is home to more than 40 different animal species, countless invertebrates, and hundreds of different native plants. Alligators, crocodiles, and bobcats are among the wildlife that has been observed in the interior acreage.
When preserved, the property will be the last piece in SCCF’s 5.7-mile wildlife corridor running from the Bob Wigley Preserve to the West Sanibel River Preserve, including an unbroken 1.6 miles of contiguous river frontage. In an alternate future, at least 13 houses could be built on the property if the land is not preserved.
“Our Trustees and major donors have already been very generous in starting this $2.4 million campaign,” said SCCF CEO Ryan Orgera. “Now we hope our island neighbors can help us fund the restoration of this habitat for wildlife as well as the creation of new community space off the 525 feet of Periwinkle frontage.”
Beyond removing the exotic vegetation and other strategies to make the habitat more hospitable for wildlife, SCCF’s plans include creating a two-acre community space featuring a 1,100-foot walking/biking trail, welcome plaza, pollinator garden, demonstration marsh, and sculpture garden. “It will be a great place to ‘just be’ with the surrounding nature,” added Orgera.
Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible donation can contact Cheryl Giattini at email@example.com or call 239-395-2768.

Blue Girl Holly, Ilex meserveae 'Blue Girl' is praised for her unmistakable dark, glossy leaves and abundant red berry clusters. This broadleaf evergreen softens and hides unsightly structures such as utility boxes, and corners of buildings. Try planting in a mixed border with deciduous shrubs for diversity and consistent year round color. When planted in groups, the fall and winter, bright red berries that adorn Ilex 'Blue Girl' make this species a perfect specimen plant for the off season. It is important to note, that she will not produce berries without her 'man.' One, Ilex 'Blue Boy' for every 1- 3 girls is enough to do the job!
