We live in turbulent times. Cities face climate change and extreme weather events, growing mental health issues, and inter-generational or inter-ethnic conflicts. Studies suggest Blue-Green sensitive design can help to address social and environmental challenges. But the pursuit of quick returns makes it difficult for designers to persuade their stakeholders and partners to value such landscapes in dense cities. Besides relying on regulations, how can we transcend conventional, short-term approaches to use common sense and prioritise qualities like resilience and beauty?
In this lecture, renowned designer Herbert Dreiseitl - most famous in Singapore for his involvement in the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park - shares successful international case studies to explore how we can nurture liveable, regenerative cities in times of social and environmental challenges.
“…to bring beauty and function into the city, it is not only about making designs that look good, but about designs that really do perform.”
“… start with the environment and landscape first. Often we make the mistake of first making the buildings and road structures, and when there is some space left, we squeeze some green in. And after that, if there’s some money left, we put some trees…”
— Prof Herbert Dreiseitl
In his CLC Lecture on 16 April 2019, Professor Herbert Dreiseitl, who has worked on numerous projects around the world, shared his experiences as an artist and landscape architect.
Making his first point about building resilience, Prof Dreiseitl talked about the unexpected nature of resiliencies. He said that “when we look at how nature actually works, we see that nature is constantly reacting to changes – both natural and manmade. By observing this, we can learn about the change process and resiliency in nature. It is therefore very important to understand how cities react when we talk about resiliency or testing things, so that we understand what flexibility and resiliency is. I think understanding this kind of dynamics, flow structures and flow patterns are extremely important for us planners.”
“A park is not just green to look at. It can do things. It can function to hold back water, to let water filter, to evaporate, to have a cooling effect, to provide shade and to even filtrate the air.” Landscapes have the ability to perform differently, depending on weather conditions, he said. Citing the example of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Prof Dreiseitl pointed out that green spaces can be seen as multi-functional — to help build resilience and promote sustainability through beautiful design.
Revamping Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park also helped improve the psychological wellbeing of society. It presented the elderly with an opportunity to go out and be active, while also encouraging them to connect with the environment without feeling isolated. At the same time, the young have an avenue to see, feel and experience nature. Prof Dreiseitl shared a personal account of meeting a grandfather with his grandchild, who was playing along the Kallang stream. In their conversation, the grandfather reminisced about playing in similar environments during his childhood and was proud that he could bring his grandchild to experience similar surroundings.
Interaction with nature helps dense cities create a connection between the individual and the environment. Prof Dreiseitl adds that “it’s like creating a kind of connection with the environment, bringing back the basic connection to the environment and feeling that we are connected to something which is more than just ourselves.” He also drew parallels to his experience of helping former drug addicts in the USA. Having a connection with the society and the environment makes people willing to work towards a better environment. This way, both social and environmental benefits will be enjoyed by all.
He further suggested that landscapes and the surrounding environment should be developed and designed first, before buildings are constructed. Prof Dreiseitl acknowledged that this strategy is becoming more prevalent now but urged more organisations to leave behind the mindset of constructing buildings without considering the immediate vicinity first. Within Singapore, the many open spaces represent opportunities for agencies to beautify landscapes around developmental projects, he said, adding that the key is to be constantly aware that environment and landscape should not be left to be tackled at the last. In addition to the surrounding landscapes, rooftops are another avenue that can be beautified to enhance sustainability. Increasingly seen around the world, and especially in Singapore, rooftops are being redesigned to include more greenery to help people reconnect to nature in some form.
The topic of “forward thinking” was brought up during the post-lecture dialogue. Despite having a pessimistic outlook on the state of the environment, Prof Dreiseitl called for people to find their passion regarding sustainability and make contributions towards the environment, no matter how small. Society needs to look beyond KPIs, he said, and instead consider what it wants to leave for future generations. It is worth bearing in mind that every small step towards environmental conservation matters!

A sunny view of the flowering cherry trees at Tom McCall Waterfront Park
A scene I've missed getting to see up close for the last several years. Bound and determined not to miss it this year, I took advantage of the sunshine on March 24 and walked through Tom McCall Waterfront Park from the Saturday Market all the way to the Steel Bridge. I continued onto the bridge and took this photo looking south. I wish the trees had been in full bloom, but one can't be too picky around here, what with gray skies, rain, and wind impacting the span of time the flowers are actually on the tree limbs.


We actually do not know the way some skilled gardeners do it. They take massive expanses of area, which might terrify us, and inject delicate particulars, impressed hardscaping and excellent vegetation so as to create completely harmonious outside areas that not solely look nice in their very own proper, but additionally complement the adjoining homes and admittedly, it looks like a darkish artwork! At the moment, we wish to present you one such backyard, because it stretches out over an unlimited space, but seems so manicured and well-maintained and enjoys the good thing about separate areas and sensible performance. Are you able to be overwhelmed with outside inspiration? Right here it comes!


We take pride in producing landscape designs that meet commercial objectives with a creative vision and a respect for our natural landscape. The production of LVIAs, design proposals, habitat creation plans and planting strategies have often enabled us to secure planning permission for our clients, marking the beginnings of client partnerships that have occasionally spanned decades. At Gale Common we advised on the creation of a 3km2 artificial hill for the disposal of colliery shale and fuel ash over a 42-year period, from 1962-2004. This first hand experience has given us a unique understanding of the requirements necessary to successfully marry industrial activity within an existing landscape, either through sensitive assimilation into the landscape, or by creating bold contrast. Our work in this sector ranges from landscape strategies for quarries to the sensitive siting of factories and industrial buildings.

You might be wondering how to end a dry creek bed. Creating a dry creek bed in your backyard is a great way to add a stunning aesthetic to your landscape. It can also act as a natural water feature by providing a place for water runoff.
Whether you’re looking to create a dry creek bed from scratch or need to rejuvenate an existing one, the process is relatively easy. To end a dry creek bed, you have to:
- Prevent water leaks.
- Stop the inflow of rainwater.
- Install a check valve.
- Install a PVC pipe in the creek bed.
- Add some plants to your dry creek bed.
In this blog post, the Home Affluence team will walk you through how to end a dry creek bed and provide helpful tips to ensure it lasts for years to come.
By following these steps, you can create a beautiful, functional water feature that will boost the visual appeal of your home’s landscape.
How to End a Dry Creek Bed
- Prevent water leak
- Stop the inflow of rainwater
- Install a check valve
- Install a PVC pipe in the creek bed
- Install an underground drainage system
- Add some plants to your dry creek bed
- Install a ramp for easy access
- Light up the dry creek bed with LED lights
- Add a layer of soil on the floor of your Creek Bed
Let’s learn in detail now;
Step 1: Preventing water leak
Preventing water leaks is an essential part of home maintenance. The first step to stopping a water leak is to inspect the home regularly for any signs of a water leak. If a leak is present, repair it immediately.
Additionally, it is vital to check the home’s appliances and fixtures, such as dishwashers and sinks.
Contact a professional for repairs if a leak does detect in any of these areas. Homeowners should also inspect their roofs and gutters for any potential leaks.
If any of these areas require repairs, contact a professional as soon as possible. By examining the home and its appliances and making necessary repairs, homeowners can ensure their home is safe and leak-free.
Step 2: Stopping the inflow of rainwater
Stopping the inflow of rainwater is a vital step to ending flooding. It involves preventing water from entering the building by developing a comprehensive plan to ensure rainwater flows away from the building.
One common technique is creating a drainage system that collects and directs rainwater to a safer location. You can install gutters and downspouts and ensure drainage channels are clear of obstructions.
Additionally, proper landscaping can help to reduce the amount of water entering the building by ensuring that the ground slopes away from the building, and planting trees and shrubs that will filter and absorb the rainfall can significantly reduce the risk of flooding.
Step 3: Installing a check valve
Installing a check valve is a crucial step in any plumbing project. Check valves to prevent water from flowing backward through the pipeline, which can cause problems if not taken care of.
When installing a check valve, it is essential to ensure that it installs in the correct direction.
It can do determined by reading the manufacturer’s instructions or the arrow printed on the valve. Once the valve is in place, it should firmly significantly reduced tightened with the plumber’s tape.
It is essential to check for leaks after installation and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper maintenance. Installing a check valve is a simple yet necessary step for any plumbing project.
Step 4: Installing a PVC pipe in the creek bed
Installing a PVC pipe in the creek bed is an essential step in ensuring the proper flow of water through the mattress.
It is vital to choose the right line size, considering the available space, the amount of water that needs to pass through it, and the speed at which it needs to travel. It is also vital to ensure that the pipe is securely in place, with the use of supports if necessary.
Once the pipe is in place, it is critical to ensure that all connections are tight and secure and that the tube is sealed correctly along its entire length.
Finally, it is vital to check the pipe is level so that water will flow in the desired direction. Installing a PVC pipe in the creek bed carefully and correctly is essential for achieving the desired result.
Step 5: Installing an underground drainage system
Installing an underground drainage system is an essential step in any construction project. It is crucial to ensure that the system does install correctly and efficiently.
Proper installation of the system ensures that the drainage system can hold and transport the water away from the building and foundation, thus preventing the potential for flooding or water damage.
The next step is excavating and stabilizing the ground around the area where will install system drainage.
Once the area does prepare, the pipes do lay and connected. Must correctly seal the lines to prevent water from entering the structure.
Finally, should test a drainage system for functionality and accuracy to ensure it is functioning correctly. With a properly installed and tested underground drainage system, homeowners can be confident that their home does protect from water damage.
Step 6: Adding some plants to your dry creek bed
Adding some plants to your dry creek bed is essential in creating a peaceful and inviting outdoor space.
Depending on the size of your landscape, you may want to consider native plants, as they will be well-adapted to the local environment. Succulents and cacti can be an excellent choice for dry creek beds, as they require little water and are incredibly hardy.
Soften the hard lines of the rock and gravel by adding a few flowering plants, such as asters, lupines, and poppies. You can add some trees, shrubs, and ground covers for different textures and colors.
Consider whether or not you need a tall ground cover or a low-growing one. Adding the right plants will give your dry creek bed a naturalized look and feel, and you’ll be able to enjoy your outdoor space for years to come.
Step 7: Install a ramp for easy access
Installing a ramp for easy access is a great way to ensure everyone can access a property.
Ramps provide a safe and secure way for people with mobility issues to get around and benefit those using wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers. It recommends consulting a professional when installing a ramp to ensure all fire safety and building codes meet.
Ramp materials should be of the highest quality and designed to withstand weather and wear. Should do maintenance regularly to check for any deterioration or damage to the ramp.
Additionally, it is vital to consider the slope and length of the ramp to ensure accessibility for all users. By taking the time to install a ramp, you are providing safe and easy access to your property for all.
Step 8: Light up the dry creek bed with LED lights
Lighting up a dry creek bed with LED lights can add a unique, natural touch to any outdoor space.
LED lights provide a low-profile, energy-efficient lighting solution that is perfect for lighting up a dry creek bed. LEDs are durable and can withstand the elements, meaning they won’t be affected by rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation.
They are also an excellent choice for safety, as they provide a bright lighting source visible from a distance.
Additionally, LED lights are available in various colors, so you can choose the hue that best complements the surrounding area. Finally, LED lights are easy to install, so you can create a beautiful and inviting outdoor space in no time.
Step 9: Add a layer of soil on the floor of your Creek Bed
Creating a creek bed in the landscape is a great way to add visual interest and help direct water runoff away from structures.
The final step in the process is adding a layer of soil to the creek bed floor. The layer of soil should be approximately four inches thick and comprised of coarse material, such as large gravel, coarse sand, or even crushed rock.
These materials will help support the plants and other materials in the creek bed and will help to create a more natural-looking stream.
Additionally, the extra soil will help to hold water in place and provide necessary nutrients for the creek bed plants. Finally, the soil layer will help keep the creek bed neat and attractive.
Preventing water leaks is an essential step in creating a dry creek bed. It requires careful planning and execution to ensure that the creek bed is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
By properly installing a check valve, PVC pipe, and underground drainage system and adding a few plants and LED lights, you can have a dry creek bed that will bring beauty and functionality to your landscape.

ParioPlan led an interdisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects and civil engineers in the preparation of the Town of Beaumont Downtown Urban Design Plan (DUDCP). The DUDCP provides a strong vision in the form of words and graphics to illustrate how downtown Beaumont wishes to develop and mature in the future. It provides the platform to attract like-minded developers and businesses. The planning process included extensive stakeholder and public consultation including key person interviews, focus groups and a design charrette. One of the key deliverables was a very detailed implementation program outlining action items, and their costs and responsibilities for implementation that would inform the City’s capital and operating budget. One of the key selling features of the DUDCP was the effective use of 3-dimensional graphics that allowed Council and stakeholders to visualize what the downtown of the future could look like. The DUDCP was approved by Beaumont Town Council on July 14, 2015. The project was completed on time and on budget.

Third international NONUMENT! Symposium on decaying, destroyed and abandoned monuments, architecture and public space.
28 October from 14.00 to 21.00 live from Kino Šiška
In its first two years, the NONUMENT! project has, with the help of partners and associates from Europe and around the world, tackled the research into monuments, buildings and public space in a novel way. Instead of focusing on the initial projects, the focus was moved towards recontextualisations and changes experienced by these spaces over time. Instead of focusing on the intentions of artists and architects who created them, the focus was on the unpredictable new situations the spaces found themselves in. Instead of describing and archiving, the focus was on creating theoretical and artistic interventions in the disappearing heritage.
In October 2020, the first NONUMENT! book presenting of the work done in the last two years will be published.In the months before publishing the first NONUMENT! book, many – still active – public spaces and city centres have been transformed into nonuments. In the past, NONUMENT! was devoted to decaying, destroyed and abandoned monuments, buildings and public spaces of the twentieth century. At the third NONUMENT! Symposium, we will combine these thoughts with new thinking about the possible strategies of thought and intervention in the context of a continually transforming contemporary city. Through case studies of transforming buildings, squares and cities, guests from Ljubljana and abroad will think about the open use of space as a condition of survival.

When Snake Creek, an important floodwater drainage outlet for Guthrie, became clogged because it was used more as a dumping ground than a waterway, the public and private sectors rolled up their sleeves to attack the problem.
In just the first 10 months of the restoration project, nearly 17-hundred man-hours were invested. The Guthrie Street Department worked with the Parks and Grounds Department and a motivated citizens group to clear the channel of more than 42-hundred cubic yards of debris.
By creating a pleasant environment and planning for a trail to run the length of Snake River, they’ve created a long-term solution to dumping while protecting its floodplain. The City of Guthrie has waded in deeply to receive tonight’s final exceptional merit award for environmental improvement.

Noemi Wiley Patio, 2017-03-13 01:37:56. A Kansas City company that specializes in concrete patio design will be able to offer clients in this thriving central Midwestern area a large selection of ideas, materials and prices for their patios. From retaining walls to polished flooring, concrete is no longer the material used strictly for garage floors and driveways. It is now a staple for many homeowners and businesses, and a company will be able to provide estimates and even pictures of previous work. Fountains, pavers, and poured concrete can be used to emphasize any garden spot beautifully, and the experts can help provide an outdoor transformation.
Ronda Bradford Patio, 2017-07-06 06:21:03. Like any large city, the greater Kansas City area has many homes with smaller backyards. Fortunately, concrete patio design can be developed in such as way as to make the most of these smaller spaces. Concrete can be made to look like stone, slate or marble, and it can be polished or given the appearance of large or small bricks. Pre-cut pavers are also an excellent choice for a patio, and homeowners can enjoy the sensation of an Italian Palazzo or woodsy retreat in their own backyard. A good concrete company can give suggestions and offer examples of their work.
Sherrie Carpenter Patio, 2017-07-05 00:33:18. Recently, a ceramic version of the interlocking tile design has been developed, so you have even more options for cheering up your patio. You can intermingle the ceramic tiles with wooden ones, to create interesting designs. For example, you might like to have ceramic tiles underneath your table and chairs, with a wood surround. Add a few plants in pots, and your boring old concrete patio will be totally transformed.
Marissa Booker Patio, 2017-07-04 11:26:02. In closing, do your research thoroughly then enjoy that book long into the evening while staying warm and comfy on your patio.
Jacquelyn Parks Patio, 2017-07-05 10:51:42. Most of the time, they are not square. Look at a bluestone patio, and stand at one end and look at the lines of the joints. They should be straight and even. Yet because bluestone is not always cut properly at the quarry, the pieces are not exactly straight. If used as is, your joint lines will not be straight either.
Rae Holmes Patio, 2017-07-06 12:32:04. Arches and pergolas which are made with lattice tops and sides can provide support for climbing plants and vines. You can plant a climber such as a trumpet vine or honeysuckle at the base to create a landscape with a beautiful focal point.
Rae Holmes Patio, 2017-07-06 05:31:58. Regardless of the structures that you choose for your garden, these elements will allow you to create a landscaping with a focal point. They can enhance the aesthetics of your garden and add vertical elements to areas which are built on horizontal planes. Choosing the right arches and pergolas can transform the look of a simple landscaping and garden design to make your outdoor space more inviting and beautiful.
Rae Holmes Patio, 2017-07-06 02:50:44. There's also Levolor's exclusive BackStacker feature that keeps sometimes-unruly vertical vanes neatly and discretely stacked when open. Another consideration is insulation. Glass patio doors offer a lot of surface area for cold air to get in, and investing in either vertical cellular shades or heavy insulated curtains is an easy way to save on your heating bill.
Lupe Hodge Patio, 2017-07-04 21:15:21. One of the more expensive things you can do is add a small outdoor fireplace to your patio. Do some comparison-shopping to see what you can get for what price: outdoor fireplaces can be huge or they can be small and portable. Adding a fireplace to your patio will encourage family and guests to hang out outside a little bit longer. Picture it now: the air outside is cold, but you and your family and friends are all bundled up and roasting marshmallows by the fireside. Yum! What a fun way to spend a cold winter's night!

Augusta might owe its existence to the Savannah River — without it, James Oglethorpe would never have established a trading post below its shoals in 1736, nor would the canal that allowed Augusta to emerge as an industrial powerhouse a hundred years later ever have been constructed — but that doesn’t mean the relationship has always been a smooth one.
The untamed river had the destructive habit of overflowing its banks and flooding the city — a habit that eventually required the construction of a protective levee in the 1910s.
While the levee more or less kept the floodwaters at bay, it effectively eliminated the city’s most scenic natural resource. Out of sight, the Savannah River was out of mind for most Augustans.
It wasn’t until the 1980s, after a changing economy left the downtown area virtually abandoned, that city leaders began thinking about ways to bridge the levee and incorporate the river into city planning.
Unable to proceed without an Act of Congress, the levee was eventually breached to allow the creation of the Augusta Riverwalk, a city park that stretches between 6th Street and 10th Street. Currently, it includes two levels of bricked walkways, the 8th Street Plaza and Bulkhead, the 1,800-seat Jessye Norman Amphitheatre, a Japanese Garden, several sitting areas and the Heroes Overlook and Memorial Park.
In December 2017, the Georgia Technology Authority announced that it would oversee an extension of the Riverwalk to the 13th Street Bridge, basically connecting it to the state’s digital campus, which is growing adjacent to the university’s Riverfront Campus. With Augusta University occupying space there, at the Augusta Riverfront Center and at Augusta University on Broad, formerly the Wells Fargo Building, the Riverwalk serves as a scenic connector for the university’s growing downtown presence.
While markers in the bulkhead walls provide ominous reminders of just how high the river can rise, the construction of the Clarks Hill Dam in 1954 all but eliminated the need for such dramatic flood control. However, the levee remains and the Riverwalk continues to be one of Augusta’s signature attractions.


2B River Gravel
$41.03 per ton
2B River Gravel is a popular gradation of stone that has a wide variety of uses, including french drains, concrete paving, backfilling, etc.
Average diameter is 1/2″ to 1.5″. Sold per ton (approximately 0.67 Cubic Yards)
2B River Gravel is another popular material because, like 2B Limestone, this gradation has a wide variety of uses. The average size is 1/2″ – 1.5″ in diameter. Some common applications for 2B River Gravel are:
- French drain construction (2B is the standard size for french drains)
- Concrete paving
- Base material for landscaping with decorative stones (to reduce overall cost)
Sold per ton (approximately 0.67 Cubic Yards)
Unlike limestone, which is crushed to size and angular in shape, river gravel is naturally sized and rounded from many years of erosion. The original source for gravel was river dredging, which was outlawed due to its environmental effects. River gravel is now obtained from old river banks, which is a much more environmentally friendly method.
Note: While all of our gravels are “washed”, there may still be a light residue left on the stones, which is left over from the mining, screening, and transportation. Once the gravel is spread, the first rain/hosing will remove the residue and expose the natural colors.

Also, sketch out your landscaping ideas before you begin buying anything. It is important to know what you plan on putting in your backyard before you actually spend any money. You need to know that all of your ideas are going to fit in the space that you have. This will also help you determine the approximate cost of your backyard landscaping and aid in planning your budget.
What is your budget and how much time do you have to devote to your backyard? You might consider gardening, backyard pools, fountains or ponds, outdoor decor and other landscaping. You can get any and all of this on a small to large scale so never feel like you can’t afford backyard bliss. Once you have an idea of what you want, it’s time to create the blueprints for backyard bliss. Don’t try to copy from a magazine or home improvement show. This is your backyard and it should be all about what you want and what makes you happy. Keep that in mind when designing your perfect backyard.
Uncomplicated Systems: When it comes time for you to select your backyard lighting system, you should be careful to select lighting fixtures that are easy to install. You don’t want systems that have complicated electrical cables and connections as you want to compliment your landscape and not have to reinvent everything to do so. Automated Timers: A good idea is to choose an outdoor lighting system that has an automated timer integrated into them. This way the timers regulate the duration and periods that the lights will be on and off, which makes it easier and convenient. You can even get solar powered lighting systems, which will absorb energy from the sun during the day so that they illuminate at night for your safety and enjoyment. This will also save you money on utilities. Plan Your System: Be sure to plan out your backyard lighting system. There are so many systems to choose from and unique fixtures you can add to your décor, you should make a plan for your backyard lighting so you don’t overspend or get fixtures that don’t fit well with your decorating scheme.
That is just one example of the utilizing ordinary objects, even objects that are trashed to create the best backyard pits. Actually, you don’t have to spend a lot of money just create the backyard fire pit of your dreams. All that is needed is a supple amount of creativity and determination plus, a lot of resourcefulness would really hit the spot. So now, now that you know how to make your own backyard fire pit ideas, you are now ready to have a much more enjoyable evening in your backyard together with your friends in your family.
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.

Your perfect pool
There are a variety of shapes to consider for an outdoor pool. Different shapes are better for certain landscapes or activities. You should choose the shape that best fits your yard and property and lifestyle. A complete turn-key project takes approximately 4-6 weeks. This time frame can change depending on what elements are included with the project (ex: built-in grill, patio, etc.) as well as finishing materials. The scope of the project and number of different trades involved can also impact the length. The cost of an inground pool varies based on the shape but also depends on the finish materials, size, depth, options (basketball hoop, diving board, etc.) and the site topography and access.
A custom design is chosen when a standard shape does not fit the area due to size and parameters, or when a specific look is desired. They can also work with landscape restraints (hills, etc.) and can be designed to fit the site and shape or feel of the house and existing landscape. Custom designs also offer a more natural look and allow for other features like waterfalls to blend in with surroundings.
Custom designs are not ideal for those looking to swim laps or play basketball or other games in the pool. They are also more difficult to cover, both in summer and winter.
Grecian shape is chosen when there are cut corners on the house or existing deck and patio. It also pairs well with traditional or classic architectural styles. The cut corners of the pool allow it to be placed on an angle to better fit the desired space. The Grecian shape is easily covered by a solar cover but it can difficult to use an automatic cover with the shape.
A kidney shape is chosen when the pool needs to fit around existing patios or in a yard that is not rectangular. They can also be nestled around a corner of the house or patio.
Kidney shaped pools are not ideal for those looking to swim laps. They are also more difficult to cover, both in summer and winter.
An L-Shaped pool is chosen when the site dictates that the pool needs to wrap a corner or other house projection, or when a specific look is desired. They also offer the ability to have a diving area and a play area.
L-Shaped pools are ideal for those looking to use the pool for multiple activities. The shape allows for separated shallow and deep ends as well as for lap swimming. They can be covered with a solar blanked but are also more difficult and expensive to cover with an automatic cover.
A mountain lake shape is chosen when a specific look is desired for the project or to better echo the existing landscape. They also offer a more natural look than a standard shape.
Mountain lake shapes are not ideal for those looking to swim laps and are more difficult to cover, both in summer and winter.
A rectangle shape is chosen when a classic, elegant look is desired. They are also ideal for yards with formal, geometric landscaping.
Rectangle shaped pools are ideal for those looking to swim laps or play basketball or other games in the pool. They are also the easiest to cover, both in summer and winter.
A Roman shape is chosen when the homeowner is looking for the functionality of a rectangle, but with more character. They can also complement classical architecture and landscaping of the property.
Roman shaped pools still allow for lap swimming or playing basketball and other games in the pool. Covering them can be an issue. A solar cover can easily be used but an automatic cover can be more expensive.

Outdoor Living Design Reveal – 2017 – James
Welcome to an Outdoor Living design reveal in the Arlington Heights neighborhood of Portland. These prominent homes overlooking the city wind through the hills displaying striking house fronts. It’s fun to drive by them to see the many styles, interesting architecture, the old, new and grand designs. It makes you wonder what the backyards are like. That’s why this design reveal of the James property is particularly interesting.
This modern style home on the hill has three levels. It’s backyard access is by way of a staircase that leads down to the lower deck. Although the home has upper patios to take in the view, the James made a decision to renovate the lower deck nearest the lawn. Access through sliding glass doors off their office and master bedroom, made it particularly handy for their dogs to connect with nature.
STAIRWAY TO HAVEN
Deciding to renovate an existing deck and steep outdoor stairway, this ingenious couple collaborated with our design team to create a Stairway to Haven.
And, Haven it is! You don’t cut corners when it comes to styling the inside of your home, and as you can see, this artistic duo chose to continue their flair into the landscape. From the magnificent front entry, down the aesthetically pleasing outdoor staircase to an inviting deck, this outdoor living design truly heightened the beauty of the exterior.
The clean lines of the fireplace and concrete staircase to the lower patio play a crucial role in developing this tranquil retreat. Everyone loves a space that embodies relaxation. The science of clean-lines in this outdoor haven affects one’s mood in a calming way.
Portland, OR – Arlington Heights, 2017
Arlington Heights is a neighborhood in Portland of grand houses and some of the city’s most renowned parks

Paths for Communities
Natural England has just launched "Paths for Communities (P4C)", a funding scheme set up to develop and enhance the network of Public Rights of Way (PROW) in England in order to deliver benefits to rural areas. Local community partnerships are eligible to bid to Natural England for funds.
The aim of P4C is to encourage and support local communities to work with land owners to make improvements to the network of Public Rights of Way. In all cases P4C projects must include some element of new Public Right of Way creation. In most cases projects will include an element of new Bridleway creation but projects that include Footpath creation alone will also be considered where community and economic benefit can be demonstrated.


"It has been an absolute pleasure to have Ben and Sam here, and we could not be happier with the results"
As with all newly built homes, the garden was a patch of muddy ground for the new owners to do something with. Wanting to create something special, they commissioned Shirley Myatt, a local garden designer based in Langham, Rutland, to carry out the design. We were contacted after the design was finalised to provide a quotation.
The design comprised of two patios finished using Vitrified Copper Porcelain paving by Stonemarket. A stepping stone porcelain path with gravel surround linked these patios to each other. To one corner we build a raised planting bed, with the walls clad in Exilis Splitface walling in Copper Slate by Stonemarket that complimented the paving beautifully, a testament to the design. To finish off the wall we cut strips of the Porcelain paving to act as coping.
There were a few manholes located within the paving. To help hide these we installed recessed type manholes so that only the rim was exposed. This allowed us to continue the Porcelain and it’s joints seamlessly over the manhole cover to provide a neat finish.
Our client took a keen interest in our work, even helping out on occasion and making sure we were kept stocked up with fresh tea and plenty of very tasty homemade cakes, thank you Michael and Sheila!
If you would like to get in touch with the designer, Shirley can be contacted on 07941 660476. Her website can be found here.

Unique landscaping ideas are composed based on two steps. The first step is choosing the way of composing it and the second is choosing the type.
Some people will like to compose the unique landscaping ideas especially when they feel bored with the common types of landscaping. Of course there can be some other reasons for that. Some other people for example must compose it for making their different type of landscaping from their neighbor. That is the subjective reason but of course that is not a wrong reason. No wrong reasons can be found when you have enough reasons for doing it.
When you want to compose the unique landscaping project, you must know the basic concept about it. The basic concept refers to the types of unique landscaping can be found today. You can take some different ways for getting the type. You can follow some other people about the uniqueness or you also can compose your original type of landscaping. If you are the beginner, it is possible too for you to combine both of them for making the greater final result of landscaping.
Some Types of the Unique Landscaping
There are some types of the unique landscaping project ideas can be considered to be composed today. Since there are some common ways for composing this style, at first you must choose your way too. The first way is composing the idea about the common style of landscaping but with some modifications into it. This way can be easy to be composed and it can be the appropriate one for the beginner in landscaping field concept.
Then the second way for composing the unique landscaping ideas is by making it really from your imagination. This one needs the enough creative imagination on your mind. Without enough imagination, you cannot make the perfect plan. Without the perfect plan, the final result can be gained through the landscaping project can be the bad one. Of course that is the condition must be avoided by everyone.
Based on those two ways, so many types of the uncommon landscaping ideas can be found. The number of the types for the first way can be similar to the number of the common types since they are created from the common types’ modification. Then, from the second way, you can get the great result of the landscaping based on the type of your creative imagination. For making it easier, you can classify it based on your area dimensions: the large are and the small one. Both of them have the special characteristics of course.
Choosing One Appropriate Style
From those types, you must choose one type that can be the appropriate one to be implemented into your area. Choosing it can be done through two steps. The first step is choosing the way of composing it. It can be the first or the second way as it has been explained before. After that, you can choose the more specific type based on your choice before. It can be easy to choose the unique landscaping ideas as long as you follow the right steps mentioned here.


Barcelona is not only home to mesmerizing Mediterranean beaches, amazing architecture and some of the most delectable dishes on the Iberian peninsula; The Catalan capital also boasts some fantastic green spaces, perfect for a relaxing day away from the city center crowds. You may be surprised to find that 10% of the city of Barcelona is made up of parks, from colorful playgrounds to historical havens, and even a tribute to Joan Miró!
Here we give you a round up of Barcelona’s top 5 parks:
1. Parc del Laberint d’Horta
The Labyrinth Park in Barcelona is the oldest garden in the city and since it’s located on the outskirts of the city, it is often left unexplored by many visitors. Ideal for families visiting Barcelona, the Parc del Laberint d’Horta has a real-life maze, which will keep the youngsters entertained while you soak up the views from the terrace that overlooks the park. Keep your eyes peeled for the turtles and geese in this natural sanctuary, one which is perfect for a tranquil day out.
How to get there: Mundet (L3)
2. Parc Güell
Parc Güell in Barcelona is a colorful playground and offers visitors an up-close look at some of Antoni Gaudí’s most significant modernist works. Here, you may feel as though you have entered an alternate world as serenity is all around, something not often enjoyed in other parts of the city.
When strolling around Parc Güell, make sure to watch out for Gaudí’s signature ‘trencadís’, a style which uses broken, glazed ceramic tiles to create mosaics. And don’t miss the famous dragon fountain which leads up to the Sala Hipòstila, an area originally intended to be a marketplace. This space is now home to 86 grand columns that support the public square above, where the famous benches of Parc Güell can be found. From here, you can enjoy some breathtaking views of Barcelona.
How to get there: Vallcarca (L3) or El Coll/ La Teixonera (L5)
3. Parc de Joan Miró
A tribute to the surrealist imagination of Joan Miró, this Barcelona park in the Eixample Esquerra area is a great place to relax. The park is often referred to as the ‘Parc l’Escorxador’ as it stands on the site of an old municipal slaughterhouse. The area is now an outdoor haven which hosts many events and activities from concerts to cultural workshops.
The park has two levels, the lower landscaped with pine, palm and fragrant eucalyptus trees and plenty of colorful flowers. On the upper level of the Joan Miró Park in Barcelona, you’ll find one of Miró’s last sculptures, ‘Dona i Ocell’ (Woman and Bird).
How to get there: Tarragona (L3)
4. Parc de la Ciutadella

At the heart of this tranquil space is a beautiful waterfall, designed by Josep Fontseré for the Universal Exhibition in 1888, and just a few steps outside of the park you’ll find the monumental Arc de Triomf on the tree-lined Passeig Lluis Companys.
How to get there: Arc de Triomf (L1) or Ciutadella/Vila Olímpica (L4)

This spotlight recessed into the ground is protected against water and dust infiltration. This allows you to create lighting that is both functional and attractive outdoors. The round frame surrounding the protective glass. In this way, it fits into many environments.
Recessed box included.
Ground spots for outdoor lighting are often used as accent lighting: ground spots can highlight a tree, statue or wall, or accentuate the contours of certain parts of the garden.
They can also be used to illuminate paths or enhance the aesthetics of a facade.
Discreet and effective, the recessed floor spotlight or recessed spotlight is used for different outdoor applications.
-Decoration of terraces (composite, wood, concrete, tiling, etc.)
-Highlighting a flower bed
-Lighting of a staircase (interior or exterior)
-Creation of light points around a swimming pool…
First of all, you can compose the lighting of a swimming pool by placing recessed spotlights all around it in order to create a relaxing atmosphere. Designed to be robust and perfectly waterproof, the recessed terrace spotlight presents no risk of hydrocution. You also have the option of installing them along an aisle to create visual guidance.
Does your garden consist of plants or decorative elements that deserve special attention? A recessed spotlight can highlight these parts like a statue by diffusing a targeted beam on the object.
Finally, it is also near a terrace that the soft and diffuse indirect lighting produced by the recessed spotlight has its effect. By placing the spots at the foot of a wall, the grazing and low-angle lighting gives relief to the bricks or stones.
If you would like other lighting ideas, do not hesitate to consult the advice of our lighting designer.
To save energy, opt for a recessed LED spotlight!

The Trinity River Corridor Project Paves The Way For New Development
The Trinity River Corridor Project is a massive City of Dallas public works and economic development project. With public and private partners and an investment of more than $2 billion from those partners, it’s one of the largest flood protection projects in the nation. Work on the project began in 1998 with passage of the first bond package, and it covers about 10,000 acres along the Trinity River. While its foremost purpose is as a flood protection solution, the Trinity River Corridor Project also includes other major components: transportation, recreation, environmental restoration, and economic development. Once complete, the project will bring wildlife habitats, trails, parks, lakes, bridges, and new development.
This is the first of a five-part series about the Trinity River Corridor Project. We’ll be featuring a new post on the BIG RED Blog about the Trinity River Corridor Project each week during June.
Work on a Dallas Floodway Extension (DFE), a joint project between the City of Dallas and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a major component of the Trinity River Corridor Project. Along with a Floodway project that addresses the current levees, the Floodway Extension will reduce flood risks for Dallas residents. Currently in construction, the DFE begins where the Dallas Floodway ends at Eight Street and extends the levees downstream to the south of downtown Dallas, just past IH-20.
The DFE will reduce the flooding risk for thousands of structures in downtown Dallas, and include a new chain of wetlands, 30 miles of new recreational trails, and environmental mitigation for 1,179 acres of land along the Trinity River.
With the new recreational opportunities and land removed from harm’s way, Dallas envisions dense new development, as well. According to a report prepared for Dallas’ Trinity River Corridor Project Office, “nearly a square mile of land ripe for redevelopment encircles the core area of Trinity River Corridor project, much of it on the downtown side.” That could yield nearly 40 million square feet of new development within blocks of new park, and could help transform scraggly grassland into dense, vibrant development.
In 2005, Dallas adopted a Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the Trinity River Corridor. Although it does not prescribe specific zoning or development regulations, the plan lays out a preferred pattern of future development in the corridor. Those patterns encourage transit and pedestrian-oriented activities throughout the corridor, as well as a trail system that could spur development while also acting as a connector between neighborhoods.
The corridor land use plan envisions high density and mixed-use development within a three- to four-mile radius of downtown. Further from the central business district, the plan calls for dispersed centers of density or activity at locations like DART stations, the area’s rapid transit system.
While the 2008 recession slowed things down – at least one developer had purchased land in the corridor with plans for apartments lost that to the bank – activity has picked up again.
If a new wave of infill development starts to take shape around a revitalized Trinity riverfront, the area would be linked with other booming parts of Dallas, including Uptown, the Design District, and West Dallas.


Imagination event at Union Terrace Gardens as part of the park’s transformation
The journey towards the transformation of Union Terrace Gardens is to kick off with an artistic activation event next week to encourage people to imagine what the space could look like.
A total of 200 flags carrying an emblem of Union Terrace Gardens are to be placed in the park on Saturday 19 November from 8.30am to 2.30pm and people will be encouraged to find one, take it home and think about what they would like there, before the public engagement takes place next month.
People will be given an opportunity at the public engagement event to study proposals for the site, ask questions and put their views across. UTG is one of the 50 City Centre Masterplan projects designed to transform the city.
Aberdeen City Council Leader Councillor Jenny Laing said: “”Union Terrace Gardens is a beautiful green space and the work as part of the City Centre Masterplan will enhance it.
“I’d encourage people to take part in the activation event which may help them discover UTG for the first time, or perhaps rediscover this green oasis in the centre of our beautiful city.
“This is the chance for everyone to imagine what UTG could look like and what could be in the space, before the public engagement starts on December 2.”
The artistic activation event – entitled Mosaic Gardens - is being organised by Glasgow-based studio NADFLY on behalf of LDA Design the leading planning consultancy firm which is drawing up detailed design proposals for UTG.
LDA Design has delivered more than 50 Heritage Lottery Funded park restoration schemes, and new parks nationally and internationally, including the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London and Gorky Park in Moscow.
The consultancy has received 90 awards for contemporary and historic parkland design, urban renewal and historic town centre improvements.
The City Centre Masterplan (CCMP) envisages a number of ways in which Union Terrace Gardens might be enhanced – for example, the provision of a multi-purpose events space to allow year-round events and investigating using the historic arches for retail, food and drink, and artists’ studios. Better access could involve the provision of lifts, ramps and new stairs.
The public engagement exercise next month will be gathering feedback on proposals, and detailed plans are scheduled to go before the Council for consideration in early 2017. If approved by Council, work on the one to two-year refurbishment would start that autumn.
LDA Design said UTG could potentially have many new uses such as an activity area for children, a horticultural hotspot, or a cultural hub featuring creative workspaces, artists in residence, open air exhibitions and performances.


We took on this challenging project at an office building in Albuquerque with the task of putting in a new tile floor and building a unique water feature inside their lobby. The building wanted a more contemporary looking floor, replacing the old linoleum with travertine tile.
However, the client also wanted the travertine to draw people into the building, so we utilized two different types of stone, one with a light color, the other dark, and created a decorative “pathway” that lead people into the heart of the lobby.
We were also asked to create a water feature that utilized some unique pieces of rock supplied by the client. We created a pool using locally sourced flagstone, and lined the bottom with local river rock.


In the past the Conservation Foundation has helped over 700 residents transform their landscape into a more eco-friendly style. Realizing that we can all contribute to environmental impacts whether at home, work, or play, the foundation is moving forward with a new program: Conservation@Work. For Roosevelt University’s commitment to native plants, natural beauty, the prevention of soil erosion, and water conservation the Schaumburg campus has been awarded the first ever Conservation@Work recognition. Plans are to display the plaque in a place where everyone can view it and share in this accomplished.
