Published at Tuesday, 10 September 2019. Backyard. By Fifi Poissonnier.
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.
When creating a backyard environment, you should take some time to think about what type of wildlife you would like in your backyard, up close and personal. Being petrified of snakes and then creating an environment that snakes find irresistible would be a torturous mistake. This example emphasizes the importance of considering what type of animals you want frequenting your backyard. Specific plant life and bodies of water attract certain kinds of animals, bugs, and insects. Hence, in your backyard environment, you can plant greenery and create man-made bodies of water to entertain the type of wildlife you are comfortable with.
Now that you know the choices that are out there for backyard fireplaces, as well as the pros and cons, its time to start choosing what you would like and imagine how it will fit in your outdoor living space. Make sure that it fits well into the space available as well as into the scheme of the landscaping. One last thing you might want to think about is if you want to cook on it or just enjoy the fire. Once you have decided all of this, as well as what you want it to look like, you are ready to go shopping and start enjoying your evenings in your backyard even more.

What Our Clients Say
"My wife and I have been gardening for quite some time, but when we moved to Portland, we encountered an environment quite unlike anything we'd seen in the Midwest. So we wanted to find a landscape design team who could start at the beginning with a base plan, and then work with us to build our new garden over time. Anne and Gary are the perfect team. They listen to our ideas and then deliver them back to us as a plan that makes our visions possible. But to us, the thing that is most special about Gary and Anne is, simply, Gary and Anne."
– John V., SW Portland
Finally we’ve got the plants in and the new areas topped off with mulch. We were working outside Sunday afternoon, and within an hour three neighbors stopped to say how nice the yard is looking. It’s interesting – besides a general “looks really nice,” people have commented that the front entrance looks “so warm and welcoming” and “makes the house look larger” by extending it out. So, thanks, Gary – that’s exactly what we were aiming for.
– Myrna and Rob D., Cedar Hills
Our gardens were about 70% complete and we were stuck; what do we have to do to give them the finished look we want? Anne came to the rescue on the plant side with many good plant recommendations for colors and groupings that blended the new areas with established beds. Gary provided what we needed on the structural side by giving excellent recommendations, along with detailed drawings, of structures that lead to focal points and others that provide interest to plain walls. We won’t hesitate to use their services for new, existing, or partially complete projects.
– Chuck & Dee G., Lake Oswego
As new homeowners with little landscaping know-how, we inherited an unloved yard whose few misplaced plants were poorly chosen. Anne has been a godsend in helping us envision what our yard could become. Based on the plants that we love and the nuances of our property, we are seeing this vision unfold more and more each season. Anne has been great at answering our seemingly endless questions, large and small. From learning how she thinks about garden layout and design,--how to give the yard dimension, to plant plants in the most ideal microclimate, to figure out which plants complement each other well, and to create year-round garden interest--we have grown much more able to visualize future ways we can beautify our garden space.
– David N., Portland
"My sweetie and I have been consulting with Anne Marsh about our yard for the past two years. Before Anne, our back yard was a chaotic jumble. We had no idea where to start working on it. Now Anne comes over every few months and gives us tips based on our own tastes. We have slowly transformed our garden into a place we are happy to spend time in. The change is amazing! Having consultations rather than hiring a gardener has allowed us to be engaged in the results. It feels like something we created."
– Michelle L. & Claire S., Portland
"Collaborating with Anne Marsh is an educational delight. As a novice gardener I am delighted to be able to collaborate with Anne as my landscape renovation continues to proceed in phases. One thing of which I am particularly appreciative is her ability to listen first to what I think I might want to accomplish then suggest things that fit what I need rather than simply recommending things she likes but may or may not fit my needs. She has artfully trimmed existing older plantings and I am particularly impressed with her method of teaching me why and how she is doing what she is doing as she does it so I can continue to maintain my own yard in the future. I recommend Anne to anyone looking for "just the right person" in the gardening solutions realm."
– Linda T., West Linn


You might not think so, however paving can turn into a really innovative procedure. There are numerous methods for leading blocks. There are numerous designs, styles, products and patterns that could help make your paving a lot more fascinating compared to the usual paving job. There are infinite techniques for leading bricks. If you have actually made a decision to pave an area and also have never done it before, you could quickly recognize that there is whole lots extra to it compared to simply picking exactly what color of bricks you want. To start with, yes you must select what kind of color of bricks you would certainly such as. This can entail choosing the type of block product. The color that you select will certainly depend upon your specific choice in addition to the location that you will certainly be paving. Ensure that the color will match the surrounding location like the wall surfaces. Have a look at driveway paving dublin for more info on this.
The sort of paving blocks that you pick will certainly depend on the texture of the blocks along with the dimension of the blocks. These 2 characteristics will likewise affect the method which you will be leading the blocks. They will affect exactly what kinds of patterns you will have the ability to do. Normally the smaller sized the blocks the greater type of leading patterns you’ll have the ability to select from. Since you have your paving bricks you have to pick the pattern you want to pave the blocks in. The shape of the location that you are leading might influence the sort of pattern that you select, such as a rectangle-shaped location would go well with more normal kinds of leading such as the basket weave or the herringbone pattern. Different patterns of paving can change the appearance of the paved location. For instance some patterns could make the paved location seem smaller sized while some could make them look longer.
If you’re leading a large location you have more room to be imaginative with the patterns. You might develop various round shapes within the area even if the location is not circular in shape. When you have a little circular area after that you can do one round form throughout the area. For strange designed locations you might wish to steer clear of from circular patterns as it may get made complex to carry on with the pattern in awkward shaped locations. For an extra unique and also fascinating look obtain various colors of paving bricks as well as blend them up in the paving. You can integrate the colors arbitrarily to truly provide an one-of-a-kind feeling or keep it structured and mix the colors in an orderly manner. You could of course also mix up different appearances, but that might develop way too much of a mix match outcome.


On a beautiful Tuesday night, Wagner Park in Battery Park City is full of people.
In a few weeks, the park could be closed.
It's part of a plan developed over six years to rebuild and protect Battery Park City from flooding.
Hurricane Sandy rained down a decade ago, bringing millions of dollars in damage to Battery Park City.
However, some people in the community have been unhappy with the proposed plan.
“The Empire State Building took one year and 45 days to build. Tell me why you need to close this community park for two years? It makes no sense,” said Dan Akkerman, the president of the Battery Alliance, a nonprofit made up of Battery Park residents to restore the area.
Critics at a rally on Tuesday in the park, made up of community leaders, politicians and Battery Park City residents, said the plan would reduce green space and increase commercial space.
“We’re the ones who live here. We’re the ones who will be impacted,” said Jennifer Jones, who runs Battery Park Montessori.
She said she’s been disappointed with the level of outreach from the team in charge of the project, the Battery Park City Authority.
“We’re all eager to embrace resiliency efforts but we’re not confident in the Battery Park City Authority and the way they’re approaching it,” Jones said.
However, hours before the rally, the Battery Park City Authority announced a new plan that would be increasing green space by more than 74% of what is currently designed.
“Throughout the nearly six-year development of the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project, we’ve worked hard to balance the urgency of creating a more resilient Battery Park City and lower Manhattan with the importance of incorporating community voices,” said BPCA president and CEO B.J. Jones. “In keeping with that effort, I’m pleased that we’ve been able to significantly expand lawn space in addition to other modifications we’ve made over the course of this initiative without losing momentum to provide critical protection against catastrophic storms.”
Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine and other local officials say they back this new proposed design.
People at the rally said they were encouraged, but not fully satisfied, by the latest developments and hope there are more conversations about the new designs.


The sights and sounds of decorative grasses swaying within the wind make them an excellent alternative for any yard, however particularly one you are designing to entice sparrows. Native grasses are bursting with life due to their seed-filled plumes, spikes, or sprays. These seeds present worthwhile diet to sparrows whereas the grasses themselves function a shelter from the weather and safety from predators.
If you’re deciding on decorative grasses primarily to lure sparrows to your backyard, think about including Blue Fescue, Little Bluestem, Canada Wild Rye, Indian Grass, or Tufted Hairgrass. Not solely do the native grasses thrive with minimal upkeep, however they function colour and texture that work effectively as an accent to flower beds and borders whereas superbly mixing with perennials and wildflowers. Furthermore, they supply consistency and longevity as they are often left alone to face with their seed heads all through the winter months. Within the spring all that is wanted is a fast trim that locations them a couple of inches above the soil.
Typically, most native grasses bloom greatest in full solar and like well-draining soil. As for spacing, pay particular consideration to the gap between the greenery, because it makes a distinction when accommodating sparrows. Because the birds scratch for fallen seeds, you need to go away roughly 1 to three toes of open space between every grass relying on the species. Doing so will permit satisfactory clearance for flocking sparrows to dine on dispersed seeds with out jostling for legroom.

Imke Delara. Lighting. July 13th , 2017.
Once the layout of the landscape has been established, it is very important to plan the placement of your landscape lighting. Lighting can focus on aspects in your landscape which are special to you, such as garden art, a water feature, or an unusual planting. Create a point of interest by highlighting a particular tree, shrub, or architectural aspect of you landscape with a flood light placed at ground level and focused upward. Combinations of light and shadow can create dramatic effects in complete contrast to the daylight scene. Lighting around pools can create a nice mirroring effect off the water or create a tropical feel. Lighting can hide obvious landscape problems while accentuating positive features. Landscape lighting design is very similar to the design of the landscape itself.
You need bulbs to light your home and you might use a couple of bulbs to light a spacious room. Here you can make a difference to your lighting solution by introducing or adding a ceiling lamp to the room. It could a large and heavily decorated lamp according to the size and furniture in the room.
Do you have an idea where you want to put up your outdoor lights? If not, decide it first. There are number of places where you can decorate the lights with, pathway, trees, entry, statues and balcony are the ideal places. Once you have decided on this, think about the possibilities that may allow you to decorate the lights more creatively. If otherwise, you want the lights to be more functional than creative, pre-planning helps you greatly.
Many home and interior lighting pieces, such as crystal chandeliers, hanging light fixtures, add elegance and a radiant charm to the rooms where they hang.

In the past, trench drain grates were a matter of practicality, not beauty. They served their purpose in covering a channel where water was moved, but they were not exactly a visual delight. Over time, some progress in design was made but, trench grates remained largely utilitarian grates of cast iron or plastic. Now, the game has changed.
New levels of customization have elevated decorative trench drain grates to the point where they can become an aesthetic complement to any landscape. They still serve their original utilitarian purpose, but now they look good while doing so. Having a full range of customizable options can allow decorative trench drain grates to become an integral part of the scenery and design.
Customizable decorative trench grates serve both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes.
Aesthetic options for decorative trench grates
The most significant change when it comes to modern decorative trench grates is in the number of aesthetic options that are available. Modern trench grates come in a variety of colors, are available in different designs, and can include small details that have a significant impact on their overall appeal.
For many years, most drain grates were limited to a simple selection of mostly metallic colors. Today, Jonite offers grates in over a dozen different colors, from white to grey or yellow to black, allowing everyone to choose a color that will blend in with the surrounding landscape. Alternatively, you can select a color that will pop and become a focal point, depending on your specific landscaping requirements.
In addition, it’s possible to select a design for the open areas in a drain. Traditional linear slots are available and are as effective as ever. However, you can now choose more intricate designs such as keyholes or interlace. There are also more abstract patterns, including avant-garde rain motifs or nature-inspired floral designs.
Unique designs like a rain motif can bring a unique flair to hardscape designs.
Seemingly small details can also make an impact on the design of the trench grate. Trimmers can be added for additional aesthetics. The texture can also be customized to meet the needs of the design.
Practical customization for decorative trench drain grates
The aesthetics of the trench drain grates are not the only customizable part. The practical needs of the grate can also be customized to meet the needs of the specific location.
Sometimes a particular project requires a drain grate of unusual or atypical size. Jonite’s decorative trench drain grates can be made to specific dimensions for an application. If the area requires odd shapes or sizes, construction resources won’t be wasted on extra material and installation. The grates can also be created with custom curves if needed.
The location and use of a grate may also necessitate other customization options. In some areas, lockable grates can be a great addition. Heel proof grates are excellent for pedestrian areas and are perfect when paired with Jonite’s already slip-proof reinforced stone.
The traffic over the area should be considered when customizing grates as well. Load class ratings should be chosen based on use. However, these can be tailored more individually as well if needed.
Incorporating decorative grates into the landscape
The level of customizability seen in modern decorative trench drain grates allows them to be more easily incorporated into a variety of different landscapes. An artistic landscape in a heavily traveled urban area may suit trench grates with bright colors and practical features that better accommodate foot traffic. Meanwhile, a more industrial environment may suit a higher-performance design with a subdued color palette. Whatever the requirement, new levels of customizability can blend aesthetic appeal with practicality.
This is also important when fitting a trench drain grate within a more extensive drainage system. Decorative trench grates can be matched in color, design, and texture with other grates, such as tree grates. This creates a seamless look throughout the landscape. Or, they can be mixed and matched in order to complement or contrast each other, while still keeping a well-integrated look. All of Jonite’s additional grates can be customized with a wide array of options to blend everything better together.
Decorative trench grates can be customized to match with other grates, such as ventilation grates.
Making it all fit together
Whatever needs to be customized in your decorative trench drain grates, it’s important to make sure it all fits together to suit the location’s needs.
The Jonite design team will help walk you through the customization process. They will discuss your plans and goals so they can create a design concept that meets your needs while being feasible and efficient. This process will ensure your trench drain grates are customized to precisely the specifications needed.
Many options are available to choose from during the customization process.
Modern innovations in landscape design should not be ignored by anyone with interest in improving their surroundings. This includes changes for decorative trench drain grates. New customization options allow these types of grates to look better, fit a specific project more effortlessly, and generally better complement the landscape in which they are placed. These advances are positive all around and can help improve the general appeal of any project.

When planning a landscaping project for your house, be sure to look out for the products that will have a very little impact if they are of high or low quality. Use this opportunity to save a little bit of money and use it toward items that will be worth your while to spend more money on.
It could be resodding the dead parts of your grass, planting rosebushes or even, putting in a pool, because landscaping can be as small or as grand as you choose it to be. Whatever your budget, timeline or skill level, the ideas in this article can help you to create the yard that meets your wants and needs. Get your shovel and get to work!


You’ve probably spent a long time thinking about the colour scheme and landscaping in your garden; all the big things that make it great.
However, when you think about it, it’s usually the little details and accessories that really bring a garden to life. Here are some finishing flourishes you can add to your garden.
A Garden Clock
Most people wouldn’t think of putting a clock in their garden, but they can actually be rather characterful features, helping to make your garden feel a little rustic and a little bit futuristic, all at the same time.
Garden clocks are almost universally radio controlled and, of course, waterproof. You can hang it up on the back of your shed so that you can check the time while you’re gardening and make sure that you don’t run over on your schedule.
Professional garden designers love water features because of the dynamic element they bring to gardens. But, thanks to the fact that they require so much maintenance, they’re not very attractive for owners.
Rather than investing in water features, many homeowners are now turning to garden flames. Because they’re so dramatic, they create quite a contrast to the rest of the garden, especially at night, and can look beautiful when the light of the flame is allowed to reflect off a steel bowl.
This certainly isn’t a garden feature you want if you’ve got kids running around though.
All the best gardens have little pockets hidden away in corners behind rows of plants where you can just hide away from the rest of the world. But these little hideaways are nothing without the right seating arrangements.
To get that authentic look, many gardeners choose Adirondack chairs – chairs that are made from simple slats of wood. If you have the time, you learn all there is about Adirondack chairs on the internet, but the main point is that they are designed to be comfortable, unlike so many other outdoor seating designs.
In other words, you’ll actually want to spend time in your garden with one of these, admiring all your handiwork.
A Garden Mirror
Mirrors have been used on interiors for decades, thanks to their ability to bounce back light and create the illusions of more space. Now many designers are incorporating mirrors into their gardens for the same effect.
If you’ve got a particularly cramped space, like a gap between your house and the fence, mirrors are a great way to open it up and make it feel as if you’ve got all the room in the world.
Add A Bird Feeder
Native birds are in decline, thanks to declining natural habitats and a lack of food in winter, by adding a bird feeder you’ll be helping to keep the population stable and well-fed throughout the winter.
The cool thing about bird feeders is that they look great, even if they don’t have any food in them. You can set them up on your lawn or hang them from trees, depending on the layout of your garden.

Do you realize that the choices that you are going to make regarding the plants you will put on your garden will make a huge difference on how your garden will look like? It will be easy to choose some plants because of their appearance but all of the plants that you have picked, do you think that they will all look great together? There is a very big chance that they will not especially if you picked them at random.
Making a choice is always hard because you will always have an opinion about the things that you are going to do. For example, whenever you check out Foundation for Defense of Democracies, you cannot always say that you agree with everything that you read. You do know that it helps you become more aware of the things that are happening around the world. At least it gives you an idea about what you should watch out for and it also gives you the strength to believe in what you think is right.
You may feel the same way about your plants. You feel that even if you choose them randomly, you can make them work for you. Here are some tips that will help you choose the right plants:
- Even if you would not choose plants that are all similar to each other, you can still make them work if you would position the plants properly.
- Find plants that are all colored differently. It is best that you will have some variation in your garden. Having flowering plants can be amazing if you know that you can take good care of them and if you know the season when they will start to bloom.
- Know which of the plants that you have picked out are aggressive and intrusive. There are some plants that will take over the spot of the nearby plants because of their aggressive nature. It is best that you would keep these plants in pots so you can control their growth.
- The shapes of the plants will make a huge difference with how your garden looks. If you would have some random bushes mixed in with your plants in a jumbled manner, do you think your garden will look amazing? Your garden will just look messy and this is not something that you want to happen.
- Place together some plants that all seem similar. There are some plants that are similar to each other that from a far, they will all look like one big plant. You can just cut them to get the desired shape and you can be sure that they will be a good addition to your garden.
Remember that in choosing plants you should not just focus on the shape, the height and when it is going to start flowering. You also have to consider the plants that you are going to place it with and how they are all going to complement each other. This is the best way that you can plan the appearance of your garden.

Retaining walls have gained considerable attention in recent times. As such, if your home has uneven ground, you might just be considering it. They help you maintain your soil position. In turn, you enjoy a lower ground level on the adjoining part of your wall. We bet that this sounds functional and great. As such, you are wondering what your options are.
Well, concrete is the main option for retaining walls. However, they did not exactly provide the best aesthetic purpose. As such, in recent times, various designs have emerged to give retaining walls some aesthetic appeal. Are you looking to get in on this? Here are some of the unique retaining walls ideas that you can also try out.
1. Patchwork Stone
Our first unique option is a patchwork stone that combines patterns, color, and precision to get the best effect. Precisely, this design uses a few colors that get alternated to produce an eye-catching design. The great thing is that there is no pattern in the color placement. They stand irregularly, which provides a more natural, comfortable, and relaxed feel. This design maximizes slightly rounded bricks to achieve this warm and cozy feel.
2. Irregular Flagstone Wall
This is both a unique and beautiful design. It involves the irregular arrangement of irregular shaped and sized pieces of flagstone. This option comes off as more of a dominant design than a functional retaining wall.
It provides a rugged and irregular look that makes it look more rustic, earthy, and natural. Regardless, it maintains a stylish and modern look. However, note that you will need a specialist builder to design this option.
3. Concrete Cylinders
This design involves the use of concrete palisades that are cylindrical to provide shape to your home. It works best with minimalist homes. This is because it contributes to their look. It is quite simple, and you can apply it to a wide variety of purposes.
4. Decorative Block Work
This option enjoys a more meticulous design than you can imagine. This is due to its focus on precise measurements and patterns. In turn, this ensures that you get an option that looks both futuristic and classic. It is a beauty to behold. Even more, thanks to its repetitive design, it is a great option for your landscape’s background.
However, note that you will need to make this design on a grand scale for the best effect. Although, that does not mean it would not work with a smaller design.
5. Gabion Walls
This design has its history in military bases and engineering explorations. Regardless, today, it is now a unique design for retaining walls. This design involves wired cages that get filled with stones or bricks. Typically, you can use different types and sizes of brick and stone. However, keep in mind that this will depend on your wire cages.
Precisely, less tightly woven wire cages cannot hold smaller pebbles. They are best suited for tightly woven wires. However, regardless of your pick, it brings an industrial style to your landscape.


A quality stone patio will completely transform the look of your garden. It can boost your home’s curb appeal as well as market value. But laying a stone patio is no small endeavour, so it’s important to avoid costly mistakes.
Your new patio will truly complement your home only if you choose the right stone. Considering how many variables are at play, this can get difficult.
There are a few important considerations you need to be aware of before you make your choice, so let’s get you up to speed.
Manufactured vs Natural Stone
Manufactured stone, also known as veneer stone, is man-made stone that is meant to look like natural stone. Natural stone is of better quality than manufactured stone.
Natural stone is not as susceptible to moss and lichen growth as manufactured stone, and it keeps its good looks for longer. While manufactured stone slabs are more affordable than natural stone slabs, manufacturer stone is usually weaker and thinner.
Natural stone will become slightly darker over time, but many will argue that the patina it acquires is an improvement on its original appearance. The colour of manufactured stone, on the other hand, fades with age.
However, manufactured stone is easier to cut, easier to obtain, and the quality is more predictable. It also comes in a wider variety of colours.
If you are on a tight budget, good-quality veneer could be the better choice. Keep in mind that the cost of labour significantly outweighs the cost of all the materials.
Choosing Your Supplier
If you want to go with natural stone, chances are, the best natural stone for your patio is the one that is sourced locally. Why? Because it is the natural match for your geography. Mother Nature is often the best landscape designer.
Think about Irish Limestone, Pennsylvania Fieldstone, or granite from Cornwall. Stone is one of the factors that give an area distinctiveness.
Try to use the same stone you see in walls, churches, old gardens, and historic buildings around you. If that’s not an option, try to find a type of stone that mimics the geological type and colour of local stone.
On that note, if you are considering buying stone paving slabs for your patio online, consider ordering some samples first. Stones often look different in reality than they do in photos. The best way to make sure the stone you are considering buying will fit in with your own environment is to actually bring it there.
The Size and Shape of Your Patio Paver Stone
One thing is for sure—you want to get the thickest slabs you can afford. The thicker the slabs are, the less chance they will crack or lift after frost.
In order to keep things to scale, choose large slabs if you want to build a large patio. If your garden is small and you plan to build a smaller patio, smaller slabs are a better choice. They will make the area look bigger than it really is.
Cleanly cut slabs offer a more contemporary feel. Cut stone typically comes in rectangular or square shapes. Cut slabs usually have square edges and smooth faces.
If you are going for a more rustic look, flagstone is a great choice. Flagstone is any type of natural stone that comes in irregular and uneven pieces. The unforced and natural look of flagstone paving can give your patio more character.
Best Types of Natural Stone For an Outdoor Patio
There’s a good reason why bluestone has been a staple in patio construction for decades. It brings its surroundings closer to nature while still offering a sense of elegance and luxury.
Don’t let the name deceive you. This type of stone comes in a variety of colours, ranging from green to brown tones. Regardless of the style or cut of bluestone, the smooth blend of colouring is always astounding.
Bluestone is extremely resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, and it has a high non-slip rating. This makes it one of the best choices for poolside patios.
Bluestone comes in all shapes in sizes, from large rectangular slabs to small diamond-shaped pieces. If you want to retain the natural colours and beauty of your bluestone patio, you will have to seal it periodically.
Subtly elegant and extremely reliable, limestone has always been a popular choice for patios. It is available in many textural options and shades. It comes in sandblasted, tumbled, or smooth finishes.
Limestone is typically cut to rectangular and square shapes and laid in running bond, herringbone, or basket weave patterns. It can also be a great choice for flagstone paving.
Limestone stays cool in the summer because its light colour deflects heat. However, it does have one drawback. Limestone doesn’t like acidic materials. Falling fruits can easily stain it and chemical cleaners may erode it.
Granite is a great choice if you want a smooth patio with a high-end finish and neat, straight edges. However, even though it’s a popular choice for sleek and modern-looking patios, it’s also a solid option if you want to go for a more traditional look.
Since it comes in all shapes, sizes, and finishes, it offers a wealth of design opportunities. Available colours include grey, white, pink, deep charcoal, and many more.
Granite is highly durable. It will withstand harsh weather and heavy traffic. It has a long life and is very low-maintenance. You only need to rinse it or pressure wash it from time to time. The only downside of granite is its costly price.
If you are looking for a budget-friendly yet high-quality option for your outdoor patio, Indian sandstone is an excellent choice. Sandstone is naturally slip-resistant and weather-resistant. This makes it a very popular choice for wet climates.
Just like the shades of sand, colours of sandstone range from neutral to vibrant tones. You can choose from subtle beiges to dark browns, from rich reds and bright golds—and anything in between.
Sandstone is easy to maintain and it isn’t afraid of pressure washing. However, it is more prone to dents and scratches than other types of natural stone.

Raised Garden Bed Construction: If using timber, ensure that it is an untreated hardwood to prevent the risk of chemicals leaching into the soil. Pine that was treated using chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, contains a toxic chemical mix for preserving timber which can be drawn up into the plants and eat part or all of the plant. A common approach is to use timber sleepers joined with steel rods to hold them together.

Half Moon Bay Antigua Rosewood Hotel & Resort
Work in progress
Studio Piet Boon has been appointed to design an ultra-luxury hospitality project on the island of Antigua, with a mission to ‘Redefine Luxury in the Caribbean’. The hotel and resort will be situated in Half Moon Bay, the most desirable location in Antigua, tucked into the island’s South-East coast. Surrounded by untouched landscape resplendent with vegetation and rolling hills, the site provides a varied topography surrounding one of the finest beaches in the world.
Studio Piet Boon has set forth a vision for Half Moon Bay as a resort that deeply connects with nature and the serenity of its setting. Throughout the resort, there is a fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces that promote tranquillity, exploration and harmony with the environment. The vision is inspired by the premise that as nature grows more beautiful over time, so too should the Half Moon Bay resort. The design carefully considers the use of materials to reflect the Caribbean character and an environmental consciousness.
Make an appointment
At Studio Piet Boon we always put tireless effort into getting to know our clients. It allows us to deliver the most relevant designs and exceed expectations. As we delve into the wishes and the purpose of a project, each Studio Piet Boon design is tailor made.
