What is the Wolverine Green?
A beautiful, functional, sustainable outdoor classroom that is engaging, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. With wide walkways, seating for classes or just small gatherings, the island will encompass native trees and plants in an enriching, inviting atmosphere. The Wolverine Green will be a space to enjoy every day for every person who walks on the campus for the next 30 years and beyond.
Making it Happen
Through the fundraising efforts of our community this space has been forever transformed into an alternative learning space! We thank and appreciate the parent volunteers and local businesses' tremendous effort in helping to make this vision a reality. We continue our fundraising efforts to bring water, electricity and our Virginia Native Habitat to the Wolverine Green.

For my photography class, our assignment this week is to photograph architecture and urban scenes – a fairly difficult task, considering our scenery includes fields, sprinklers, and the occasional barn. Not exactly the amazing architecture and urban influences I’m used to in DC!
So, Russell and I spent yesterday walking around the Texas Tech campus. Despite going to a few Tech games, I had never walked around the campus. It was actually quite lovely – made even prettier because it was such a beautiful, sunny day.

County Parkland Acquisition
Totaling over 8,500 acres, the Bucks County park system represents the county’s longest standing commitment to open space preservation. Since the mid 1960s, all county-owned parkland has been protected by covenant held by the Park Preservation Board. Additions to the county park system using the 1997 Open Space Program funds involved the purchase of 55 parcels totaling 900 acres, featuring stream banks along designated greenways and in-fill parcels within existing county parks. These lands contribute to the overall vision for a linked park system connecting publicly accessible county and municipal open space areas and facilities.

Terraces and green roofs
There is often little space for green areas in the city center. An ideal solution are the green roofs. Those options are not only beautiful to look at, they also offer many advantages. They are useful for water storage, temperature regulation, sound insulation, air purification, and the promotion of biodiversity.
But what is a "green roof"?
A “green roof” is an artificial system that provides a natural green space, created by adding plants to a growing medium composed of layers that fulfil different functions, such as irrigation, drainage and root barrier.
This system is installed on the roofs of every type of buildings and they are partially or totally covered with vegetation, either in soil or in an appropriate growing medium, using technologies that improve the habitat and save energy consumption. They also fulfil an ecological, sustainable and respectful function for society and environment.
This new trend contributes to reduce solar heating, improves the air quality and reduces CO2 levels. In addition, they also help to combat noise pollution.
In Switzerland, you can find the oldest green roof, created in 1919. In France, there is a huge green roof of 8.000 square meters incorporated in a new museum. You can find them worldwide in places such as the new building of the Academy of Sciences of California, Iceland, Buenos Aires, Chile … All of them demonstrate that this technique is a magnificent contribution to improve the quality of the air, capturing the CO2 that is emitted every day at the cities. It is a way of reducing the CO2 that we normally do not take into account and which has been increasing excessively in the last decades.
At Decokó 2 Natural, we have a team of professionals who will help you to adopt a specific system for your roof or ceiling, as well as for blocks of buildings and any other spaces where you can implement a “little piece of nature” to contribute to our environment.


Well, I'm completely lawnless in the front "yard" (do you still call it a yard?) now and the steps and walk are almost complete.
I think I'll really like it when it grows to maturity in a few years but for now it's a lot of cool plants surrounded by an ocean of fines, which is a new word I've learned--it's landscape-speak for tiny ground up rock. My fines are grey because I wanted to compliment the chocolate flagstone, not have a reddish rock that would dilute it visually. By the way, I don't know what those whitish blotches are on the flagstone but they are not really there, i.e., not part of the rock. It just must be something that hadn't been swept up reflecting light.
I like the way Scot did the two blocks of Japanese maples and plants between the driveway and new sidewalk; and there is a walkway between them from the drive to the sidewalk for getting out of the car, like a dock.
He did crepe myrtles, which I adore!, and plants on the land between the city sidewalk and the street to frame the house:
It's really hard to get the full effect in photos because I can't get it all in one photo large enough to really see anything in a blog-size photo.
I like the blooms on these Aussie guys; I have a lot of them scattered about in different bold colors.

Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Green Infrastructure Conference
Date: May 31, 2017 - June 2, 2017
Location: Cobo Hall, Detroit, MI
This is the first conference to focus on using green infrastructure across the landscape with a primary goal to benefit the Great Lakes. The time is right for a comprehensive look at this important topic.
The conference location is in the middle of the Great Lakes chain, and at the forefront of many innovative green infrastructure projects. Much of Detroit is being recreated from the ground up. They are finding ways to reduce the burden on combined sewers for less than the cost of storing and treating combined effluent. They are making neighborhoods feel safer and more inviting and increasing green acreage over the top of thriving industry. These efforts are clearly linked to the Great Lakes, by reducing nutrient inputs to Lake Erie, and all Great Lakes’ and St Lawrence waters downstream.
This conference will include over 80 speakers to address the topics of green infrastructure technology, economics, local government/public works, and multijurisdictional/regional scale projects. The conference will also offer tours of green infrastructure projects across Detroit, valuable networking opportunities, and an exhibitor area. Don’t miss out! Come be part of what is happening to advance green infrastructure within the Great Lakes’ watershed in 2017!
This event is hosted by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and its partners.

Hello; Amazing equipments. I wonder why they don't just use explosives instead of the long slow process of using a crane for demolition. It couldn't be that much more expensive to use explosives. Using stump removers is a bad idea in my opinion. For anyone that has actually removed many large tree stumps from the ground, you would be amazed to see how much tree material the tree root branches underground makes up. When these large roots eventually rot, the ground surface above sinks quite a bit. Anything you put on top, a roadway, building, bench or fence will have to be repaired after a few years.

- The area is to be excavated to a minimum of 150mm from the finished surface level.
- A geo textile membrane is now installed prior to the hardcore which is to be a minimum of 75mm.
- Any drainage which is required will now be installed.
- The paving can now be installed. Depending on the type of product installed, either a wet lay or a sand bed method can be used although we use a wet lay method 99% of the time unless asked otherwise.
- The paving is now fully pointed with mortar or a resin based product (weatherpoint 365) which can be installed in the wet.


The spring area renovation and several light installations in Sarzhin Yar surprised Kharkivites on the day of Epiphany, which was celebrated yesterday.
“The spring’s roof was redesigned and strengthened, new water points were set up, and two light installations were built on the construction’s top. Visitors who stand under the spring’s roof in the evening will see the shining sun and the blue sky. To make this illumination, designers lighted up color sand. The roof’s outer side is illuminated as well,” deputy director of Kharkivzelenbud municipal enterprise Andriy Dron informed.
“The roof is coated with decorative stones and 500 star-shaped diode lamps,” Dron added.
According to the deputy director, landscaping of Sarzhin Yar surroundings is planned in spring. A flower bed will appear on the slope near the clock.

Members of Stanley Town Council voted to support a project initiated by the Wear Rivers Trust, Nothumbrian Water and Durham County Council to improve the area around the Twizell Burn watercourse in Stanley. The Twizell starts it’s course around the Morrison Busty and has suffered from poor water quality, drainage and poor amenity along it’s course. Large areas along the course of the burn have been prone to flooding for many years. There is a large project supported by partner agencies to solve the problems that the Twizell has and to improve the recreation value for residents. At last Tuesday’s meeting, Councillors decided to support this project by:
- Funding new paths in Memorial Park
- Funding new paths along South Stanley Nature Reserve and Langley View
- Funding a sustainable drainage scheme in Pine Street, South Moor as part of the Heritage Trail
The Town Council has already stated it will support proposals for the Heritage Trail in South Moor remembering men of the town who died in the First World War by maintaining the signage after it is installed. The parts of the scheme that the Town Council is funding will allow more people to enjoy walks along the banks of the Twizell and will improve the look and feel of Pine Street whilst reducing the flood risk for residents of South Moor.


“French drains” are one of the most widely misunderstood and incorrectly installed drainage solutions available today. The purpose of a “French Drain” is to help eliminate standing water after a rain and/or to collect sub-surface water and discharge that water to day light or a storm sewer. Location and design are the keys to a properly functioning French drain. If not designed and installed properly a French drain will quickly fail and may make the problem worse.
When designed properly a “French Drain” should consist of a trench, lined with geo-textile fabric, which in most cases should have a rigid perforated drain tile pipe in the bottom (not black perforated flex pipe) with 1” washed gravel on top. The trench can be left open with 1” gravel exposed, or the trench can be topped with a little soil, seed, and straw, oversized stone, mulch, sod, or a stone or gravel path can be installed over top.


Here’s a tip for you if you’re getting into the development game:
Beware of sloping blocks!
Listen, I know that in booms, sloping blocks are sometimes the only thing that seems affordable.
They can be so much cheaper… it seems crazy not to go for it and “figure it out.”
Sloping blocks might look picturesque, but they present a range of challenges. Challenges that will delay your project and increase your costs.
In fact, especially if you’re getting started, I think you should make flat blocks a priority in your search for the perfect development site. And here’s why:
Flat blocks are easier to develop
When you have a flat block, you don’t have to worry about dealing with multiple things like retaining, cut, and fill. This makes it easier to shape the land for roads, driveways, and access. It also reduces the amount of earthworks and retaining walls required, which can save you a lot of money and time.
Builders prefer flat blocks
Builders want flat blocks or gently sloping blocks.
It makes it easier for them to build on. If the block is too steep, it will require more earthworks, benching, and retaining walls…
… all of which can drive up the cost of the project.
Buyers want flat blocks
Buyers also prefer flat blocks.
Sloping blocks can create challenges with installing things like swimming pools, and the lack of usable land can be a deal-breaker for some buyers.
People want flat garden beds and usable land… so you better give it to them if you want to get paid top $! 🙂
Steep blocks present challenges
Sloping blocks can create issues with erosion and sediment control, waterproofing, and retaining walls.
This can lead to delays and increased costs, making them less desirable for real estate development.
In conclusion, when searching for the perfect development site, you should prioritize finding a flat block. This will make your project easier to develop, more appealing to buyers, and less costly in the long run.
But how do you find flat blocks that actually stack? It’s actually easier than most people think… check this out:
Have a great day!


Living in Nottingham you see beautiful sight every day, there is so much to see – architecture, greenery and of course the rather large river that runs through it. Not that far from us is a place that is fab for walking, playing, relaxing and for generally spending time together! When it is sunny the views are amazing and you can walk down the side of the river and just take it all in.
I love trees, I find that each is unique and has its own beauty – almost like people! Some think I am weird but I actually love trees more when they have lost their leaves, it is like they are showing their soul for all to see!
So T is for Trent!

The Oklahoma River is one of the “newest” rivers in the country and is fast becoming known as one of the world’s best urban venues for rowing and canoe/kayak. Located in the center of the nation at the intersection of I35 and I40, the Oklahoma River is adjacent to downtown Oklahoma City and within walking distance of the Bricktown entertainment district. It offers both a 2000m sprint course and two 4000m courses, all sheltered by raised banks.
The seven-mile stretch of river was originally known as the North Canadian River and for years, was a dry riverbed with water averted to avoid flooding nearby downtown Oklahoma City. A $53 million project completed in 2004 rejuvenated the river, creating the seven-mile, dam controlled body of water now known as the Oklahoma River.
Thousands of trees have been planted along the banks of the Oklahoma River and the 12+ miles of landscaped trails along its length. The Chesapeake Boathouse was the first private construction project to be funded on the river and was opened in 2006 on the Eastern Basin at Lincoln Blvd. Since then, the Devon Boathouse and Chesapeake Finish Line Tower have opened with more exciting plans for the future in the works.
In June 2013, the Oklahoma River became the first water race course in the world with permanent stadium lighting. A project of MAPS 3, the Boathouse District can now accommodate night racing on the river.


There is a profusion of flowers and plant life each spring that beckons residents to visit the Cove Memorial Garden. This is due to the over-the-years efforts of several residents who have taken a special interest in gardening. It’s an ongoing project whose continuation is dependent upon donations and the vision of a few residents who have an interest in making sure our residents have a beautiful place to relax outdoors. We also have the assistance of a master gardenerwho lends her time and expertise to the garden out of her generosity and her absolute love of gardening.
The plantings, together with the mossy green carpet and large rocks, makes an inviting space in which our residents are encouraged to take a stroll, rock in a glider, visit with a friend, have a picnic, or just enjoy some solitude. Our residents should be sure to look for the dogwood trees, Japanese lacy leaf maple tree, knockout roses, hydrangeas, rhododendron, and, of course, those gorgeous azaleas. Be sure to listen for the wind chimes, a purchase made possible by the combined donations of several residents.
Good Shepherd is proud of our residents’ caring involvement and proud to have such a beautiful space for our residents to appreciate.


We had the pleasure of travelling to see the Redwood trees of Longleat forest and got the chance to stay in amongst them for a few nights.
A large section of the forest has been cultivated by humans to give visitors the chance to be up close with the worlds largest tree species. The oldest trees to be planted here were a set of Giant Redwood’s first grown in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. They were brought to the UK in the 1850’s and planted as part of the landscaping for Longleat forest.
The Giant Redwood is the world’s biggest plant and can weigh up to 1,000 tonnes.
Longleat is now full of Redwood trees, along with Fir, Birch and other native species to the UK. If you love a walk in the woods and being able to look up to see just the green of trees then Longleat is for you.
A great way to see the trees is to stay within Center Parcs, right in the heart of the forest. Holidays range from short weekends to a full week and offer plenty of activities to cater for any age, all while surrounded by these wonderful trees.

Garza Blanca Residence Club is pleased to share with members that the Master Plan International Architecture Competition 2017 winners have been selected!
The competition was set in motion in October 2016, which invited both professionals and students in the architecture and design fields to come up with the most unique design proposal to be implemented at the newly acquired plot of breathtaking land that neighbors the existing Garza Blanca Preserve in Puerto Vallarta.
400 Acres of Beachfront Land
Purchased in 2016 and ready for development, an unprecedented 400 acres of spectacular beachfront property situated alongside Garza Blanca Preserve’s current location will soon be used to further expand the amazing luxury services and distinctive experiences offered. One of the most important aspects of the international competition was to submit a design that would develop the land in a way that integrated naturally within the existing landscape while increasing the services on offer for visitors in the future.
The following prizes, which were announced on February 8th, 2017, have been awarded to the winners of the Master Plan International Architecture Competition 2017:
1st Prize ($5000 USD) Adriane Jimenez Escarfullery
2nd Prize ($3000 USD) Varabyeu Design
3rd Prize ($2000 USD) UPP!
4th Prize ($1000 USD) Diana Kalimullina
With so many impressive entries to choose from amongst 54 entries, nine Honorable Mentions were also given to recognize the outstanding work of the following competitors:
Gustavo A. Barrirero
Oscar Osuna Garcia
“We were overwhelmed by the quality and creativity of the competitors,” exclaimed Architect Carlos Palomera, who directed the competition. “With such an incredible plot of tropical land, it is clear that the candidates were totally inspired by all the possibilities. There are so many wonderful ideas; now our team of architects needs to bring them all together into a final master plan.”
Competitors were encouraged to design a proposal with an eye on innovation and cutting-edge ideas that will take the concept of hospitality to a whole new level. The intention of the competition was to create spaces within nature that allow human interaction with the outdoors in new and different ways. Participants had free range to flex their creative muscles and design a proposal however they saw fit. They could include residential designs, urban landscapes, groups of buildings, pavilions, theme parks and more that varied in of size, form and function.
The International Architecture Competition drew over 400 registered participants and received 54 completed proposals. Garza Blanca’s in-house professional team of architects will be considering elements from all of the winning submissions that will help shape the soon to be announced final plans for the newly acquired land.


Stubbs Design Tribe
Out of the shadows
Stubbs Design Tribe specialises in residential and commercial architecture, interior and landscape design. They wanted to be recognised for their innovative and stimulating designs that manipulate form, materials and light. The new logotype, rather than plainly showing its structure, subtly reveals its form and meaning through the light and shadows it creates.
Continuing the light and dark theme of the logo, and drawing on the interplay of light in Stubbs’ buildings, we created a series of shapes – a secret visual language that hints at the architecture Stubbs Design Tribe has created over time. It’s a subtle rather than obvious allusion to the work, achieved in an artistic way. These shapes create visual tension between the identity’s elements lifting the brand into a much more artistic and esoteric space.
“An awesome brand identity, the whole tribe is so thrilled with it!” Libby White, Office Manager


The Borromean Islands: Isola Bella, Isola dei Pescatori and Isola Madre
A trip around the Borromean Gulf never fails to leave visitors speechless! Isola Bella is a place of surprising splendour with flower gardens in continuous bloom and priceless architectural treasures all beautifully integrated within the island’s very own microcosm. Transformed from a bleak rock into a spectacular garden bursting with flowers, the island now gives the impression of a galleon floating on the blue waters of Lake Maggiore, just as its founder Vitaliano VI Borromeo intended all those years ago. Visiting Isola Bella takes you back to a bygone age when the baroque style was masterfully designed to complement the green architecture of the garden, creating beauty beyond compare.
Isola Madre is an exquisite jewel set in the calm waters of Lake Maggiore. Renowned worldwide for its exceptional botanical collections, it is the largest island on Lake Maggiore. It rises from the lake with luxuriant aplomb, its silhouette accentuated by the lush vegetation that covers most of the island and by the impressive angular palace built on the southern, and highest, side of the island.


Portland EcoFilm Festival presents the Portland premiere of:
FIVE SEASONS: THE GARDENS OF PIET OUDOLF
An immersive and meditative documentary that reveals how the revolutionary landscape designer Piet Oudolf upends our conventional notions of nature, public space, and ultimately, beauty itself.
"For me, garden design isn't just about plants, it is about emotion, atmosphere, a sense of contemplation. You try to move people with what you do. You look at this, and it goes deeper than what you see. It reminds you of something in the genes - nature, or the longing for nature." - Piet Oudolf

|THE CAPITOL RAINBOW : SACRAMENTO|
LOCATION: SACRAMENTO, CA : YEAR: 2011
CLIENT: THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO
Initiated by the City of Sacramento and the American Institute of Architects, the Capitol Mall Design Competition was created to find forward-thinking, innovative, and implementable urban and architectural designs for the capitol mall corridor. The City aims to activate the mall through a sustainable design concept providing linkages and walkability, an extension of Sacramento's urban tree canopy, spaces for event gathering, and a reinforcement of the existing view corridor to the State Capitol Building.
How do we enrich the urban vitality of Capitol Mall?
By the configuration and magnitude of streets, Sacramento is divided at its center. Walkable circulation is encumbered east and west by the Tower Bridge vehicular junction and north and south by Capitol Mall Boulevard. The boulevard’s grassed median, an island surrounded by traffic flow, is a component of the greater Capitol Mall opportunity - to unify the California State Capitol to the urban fabric of Sacramento. The Capitol Rainbow masterplan connects the capitol to the city with a pedestrian interchange, a bike and pedestrian plaza establishing north-south continuity and creating a walkable east-west corridor between the Capitol Building and Old Sacramento. The City of Sacramento and State Capitol are brought together with an interwoven network of bike, pedestrian, and vehicular circulation. The planning takes programming cues from 3 contextual zones neighboring it, a historic/cultural district inclusive of Old Sacramento and The Crocker Art Museum, a business/governmental district created by the high-rise corridor along Capitol Mall Boulevard, and a civic/political district inclusive of the state capitol and other civic buildings. In concert with new programmatic pieces set in this context, the multi-modal circulation network activates the Capitol Mall. The crowning point of reference is a manmade rainbow, an icon under which the view corridor passes, dissolving and expressing itself in different forms and orientations throughout the mall.


The Downtown Beautification Plan was crafted to help envision opportunities for public investment in the Downtown Machesney Park area. Below you can view pictures of the plans which illustrate possible improvements, including new wayfinding signage, median landscaping, lighted canopy and dwarf trees, illuminated street name signs, and more!
The ultimate goal of the plan is to give the Downtown area a unique identity and increase traffic to downtown businesses and events. It is important to note that improvements will come at no cost to downtown businesses or homeowners. Following consensus from the Downtown business community and residents, the Village intends to seek funding from a variety of sources, including grants, to construct improvements.
Downtown businesses and property owners are invited to join Village staff for a meeting to discuss and provide feedback on proposed improvements. Meetings may be scheduled by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org.
We want to hear your feedback! Following your meeting with Village staff, please fill out this short survey: Downtown Beautification Planning Survey

Aggregates can be used for landscaping projects and civil engineering projects. You might have seen aggregates being used around gardens to create rockeries or maybe as a topping to flower beds to aid water drainage. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I learned the word aggregate – it was never something I spoke about, do you ever speak about aggregates? I didn’t think so.
Britannica explains that commonly used aggregates include pebbles, gravel, sand, and stone. You might have seen stone driveways – those are aggregates. You might have seen gabion baskets filled with large stones – again, those are aggregates. Whether you never knew about the name “aggregates” or would like to know more about aggregates, today that’s all I’m talking about.
Don’t ask me why. I just woke up and thought of sharing my thoughts about aggregates. Plus, I decided to reach out to professionals to give me some expert opinions and share their knowledge on the topic. I spoke to Mainland Aggregates, a UK-based aggregates supplier, with many years of experience in the industry.
Types of aggregates.
The team at Mainland Aggregates explains that there are various types of aggregates, from quarried aggregates and recycled aggregates to decorative aggregates. Quarried aggregates are materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone, which are extracted from quarries. Recycled aggregates are often debris from constructions, such as crushed cement concrete, which is reused for other projects.
Decorative aggregates, also known as decorative stones, are pebbles, cobbles, gravel, chippings and other stones which are used for decorative purposes. As Rice Cakes and Raisins explains, “For landscaping projects, decorative aggregates are the first choice. These are durable and versatile aggregates that come in a variety of shapes, textures, colours and sizes.”
The benefits of using an aggregate.
“Aggregates can be found everywhere and can be used for a wide range of projects.” Says Wood Create. And I couldn’t agree more. This will give you a plethora of options to choose from! So, no matter your project, you will be able to find the right type of aggregate for your project.
Another great thing about aggregates is their low maintenance. Even if your outdoor stones are looking a bit dirty, all you have to do is wait for rain or spray them with some water to bring them back to their normal state. Plus, rocks will not fade with time, so aggregates are a great long-term choice too. They also make a great place to host a garden party.
What do you think of using aggregates in your landscape projects?

Many imagine it is very difficult, but multiplying a magnolia is a breeze. Simply because you have four options. Magnolias can be easily propagated Magnolias delight every observer with their wonderful growth and incomparably beautiful blooms.

Outdoor tiles are an important design choice. Porcelain tiles are adaptable and allow every decoration idea to turn into reality thanks to their robustness, functionality and attractive and elegant appearance.
How to choose your exterior porcelain? To the eye, ceramic tile and porcelain tile are very similar. Be aware that both tiles are clay-based and kiln-fired, but porcelain is technically a specialized type of ceramic. The clays used to make porcelain have a higher density and are fired longer at a higher temperature than ceramics. That said, porcelain is therefore more resistant to North American climates and therefore perfect for the layout of your outdoor décor.
The year 2022 is turning towards rich and sumptuous palettes, striking patterns and luxurious and elegant designs.
The year 2022 is turning towards rich and sumptuous palettes, striking patterns and luxurious and elegant designs. The trendy formats are large formats, linear formats, the “wooden” look, the contemporary style with darker shades, warm and earthy tones and one-size porcelain pavers.

Of course, the legacy of fountain design also includes various drawings of fountains which were proposed, but hardly ever built, and therefore continue being purely imaginary conceptions. Sometimes, a under no circumstances-created drawing serves to be a nest of recent Thoughts for succeeding generations. The first fountain types that hardly ever bear fruit generally hint at issues with the designer. A fountain designer might check with especially, how will the fountain seem in a certain setting? Or how will the fountain composition communicate with several h2o consequences? All some designers are concerned with how best can a fountain realize its symbolic kind, a festive spectacle, or is it based in utilitarian operate? Practically universally, fountain designers considered structure ramifications only once the Artistic factors happen to be tackled. There is absolutely no issue that fountain designers have constantly looked to historical precedents as resources for Thoughts and creative forms and models. Bernini's Triton fountain has inspired many artists, fountain designers and architects all over the millennium.
The Roman architect Marchione was recognized for using drawings to develop his fountain layouts. In the mid-1700s Marchione received a commission for his 1st substantial project, which consisted of the design of the villa and gardens, and fountains for his patron the Cardinal Alessandro Albani. The Villa Albani was meant to showcase the Cardinal splendid collection of classical antiquities. Amongst Marchioneâ€™s achieved models for the villa is a drawing to get a Pegasus fountain simulating a naturalistic landscape having a statue of the legendary horse tapping its hoof on rocks arched in excess of a stream. This was to become the very first fountain depending on classical mythology in the region.
A modern day of Marchione, an 18th-century architect named Giuseppe Barberi, acquired couple of genuine commissions, but unleashed a torrent of restless artistic Electrical power in fluid programs and fountain models which in no way remaining pen and paper. Among his lots of fountain styles are Concepts for enhancing plazas with various city landmarks, many that includes the river gods and substantial jets of drinking water, a conventional fountain variety which could have already been promoted by Bernini's Fountain with the 4 Rivers, or by antique statues of river gods which dotted the landscape.
In modern occasions, fountain designers have sought to update past variations of fountains with modern day architectural sensibilities. Contemporary French Backyard designers are reviving French classical Back garden design, but simplifying it to a fresh modest scale, and making use of new resources, and defining spaces in another way, By way of example utilizing concrete partitions. Numerous modern principle drawings suggest secluded salons (or outside rooms) wherever men and women can enjoy tranquility from the midst of a larger community backyard. Generally, the central aim is actually a figurative drinking water fountain, a personification of a drinking check here water supply, with drinking water falling through the earned on to a attractive shoulder, and also to symmetrical trellises housing columns formed into fountains for drinking or handwashing.
Numerous modern fountain designers proceed the exercise of drawing consistently in individual sketchbooks record observations from mother nature and also to jot down Suggestions for fountain designs. For decades, American designers have sketched Motion picture watery mountain streams, and coastal shores. Even the Latest engineering firms, though coming up with fountains, Ordinarily start out their style and design approach with a sequence whole of a musty foolish it is actually sketchbook drawings. Often, the drawing exhibit programs for different playful water effects, but some present the designer Performing out how to use technological innovation to develop the specified h2o motion, such as huge leaping arcs of drinking water. With the use of modern Pc engineering, a fountain designer can then translate these drawings and sketches into hydraulic realities as well as the sketches into precise fountains.


If you haven’t read part 1 of the paver patio project, take a few minutes to see where we started.
If you’ve already been there, read that, let’s remind ourselves where we left off. The ground was measured, marked, dug up, compacted and landscaping fabric was put down. This helps prevent weeds from growing up between the pavers in the future.
Step 6 – Lay Paver Sand Base + Level
After landscape fabric comes the paver sand base. Aside from compacting the soil, this is the most important part of the project – leveling the base. There are a lot of YouTube videos on how to level sand for a paver patio, many of which I watched before actually attempting this. Basically, you lay down pieces of PVC pipe and fill around it with sand. Then, you take a straight piece of wood to screed the sand so it touches the top of the PVC pipes and levels out. This should give you an area of sand that is even and smooth. Be sure to double check your work with an actual level if you’re unsure.
Work in sections, moving the PVC along with you as you go. Once you have a large enough space, it gets difficult to maneuver around, so I started on to the next step in a few sections – Brock Paver Base. This is my favorite part so far!
Step 7 – Brock Paver Base Panels
Traditionally, you would build a patio with compacted soil, landscape fabric, compacted gravel, leveling sand and pavers. However, with this amazing paver panel product, it switches up the order a bit and saves SOO much work and time in digging and laying an extra 6 inches of heavy gravel. Panels are more expensive, but in my opinion, so worth it. 1 panel = 5 bags of gravel. And that’s all I have to say about that.
You can find it the big box stores or order it online. The Brock Paver Base website also has lots of useful tips on how to use this product and cool calculators for how much material you’ll need.
These panels lock into each other with grooves on the edges. It’s recommended you stagger the joints so they are more sturdy. These can be easily cut with a utility knife so laying them down was a breeze.
Another great thing about this is you can walk over the panels after they are placed. In working over such a large space, it’s hard to walk around sand without disturbing it. I couldn’t recommend this product enough!
The curved edges were super easy to cut. We laid them down and traced the edging with a utility knife and that’s it!
Step 8 – Lay Pavers!!!!!
This is where I started getting excited again. I believe we were on day 5 by this point and I had to get some pavers down. So, I started laying the border in this solider style right on top of the panels. At one point, you could see all the layers -fabric to sand to panels to pavers – because I just couldn’t NOT start this herringbone pattern.
I used a rubber mallet to tap these into place, making sure the gaps were consistent. We chose a curvy layout for the patio which requires some tricky cuts. If you’re good at math, you can work out a square patio that doesn’t require any cuts if you switch up the pattern and size to fit the materials you choose. But I wanted something really interesting and so curvy border it was!
We did try a diamond blade for the wet tile saw because I read that a wet saw helps cut down on dust. But the thickness of the paver mixed with the blade that’s made for tile took forever to cut through. It worked, just took forever. So we decided to head back to the store and found a diamond blade made specifically for pavers to use on the miter saw.
This went much faster, but man it creates a lot of dust! Be sure to use eye protection and wear a mask!
Some professionals cut pavers in place, meaning they lay the pavers beyond the border then draw the cut lines on them while they are set. Then they use a circular saw to cut the border while it’s on the ground. We weren’t that confident so we cut each, one at a time.
To help set the border, we used a paver edging, similar to this. This helps create a solid border line and also helps lock the pavers into place.
Laying pavers went sooo quick! These went down in no time. The majority of the time was spent on the cuts, trying to make sure they all fit nicely.
Step 9 – Pour Polymeric Sand
Once all the cuts are finished, it’s time to grout! And by grout, I mean add polymeric sand. You sweep this over the pavers into the cracks and tamper it down with either a hand tamper or compactor, like the one we used on the soil base in part 1. Once polymeric sand sets, it becomes very firm and locks between the paver joints while still retaining flexibility and providing a long lasting, durable jointing material. So basically, grout for pavers!
It was going on day 7 of this project and I was ready to get it done! I put the sand down at night, so not a lot of pictures of this step. I did use the sand that was available at the local store, however if I were to do it again, I would probably order a gray color sand online vs using the tan color from the store.
Once it’s tampered down, be sure to sweep or blow away any excess sand on top. When this hardens, it’s nearly impossible to get it off. To set the sand, you need to spray a nice layer of water over the entire patio. Be sure to set the sand with water on a day you know it won’t rain for a few days. Too much water can wash the sand away before it has time to properly cure.
Step 10 – Enjoy
Check out our deer friends! (and the pile of dirt GONE). Let’s not look at the grass. 🙂
There’s still a lot to do back here but WOW. We have a beautiful space in our backyard to hang out, grill, enjoy the dogs, watch the deer and just escape.
Would I do this again, probably not (at least not the digging part). Am I glad we DIYed it instead of paying a contractor? Yup! We learned so much and take a lot of pride in this when people come over! The neighbors were watching the process the whole time and a few even came by to ask more questions and take a closer look. This is by far the biggest project we’ve taken on and we absolutely love it!! Thanks for follow along.

Arrive safely together
Between 1987 and 1991, the single-tube Karawanken tunnel between Austrian and Slovenian borders was constructed as part of the A11 Karawanken motorway. The new construction of a second tube also requires the construction of a second lane in the tunnel entrance area in Carinthia. A clear case for the bridge calculations of Thomas Lorenz and his team.
Light at the end of the tunnel
The foreland area is completed, the second tunnel under construction. Part of the entire project was a 344 metres long prefabricated reinforced concrete foreland bridge, a 140 metres long anchored retaining wall as well as a 105 metres long earthworks area. In order to better evaluate the construction methods required as well as better dimensions, the entire foreland area was modeled in 3D including the landscape.

Climate of a region plays a very important role in our designs. Weather and climate are primary factors that affect any region and hence, are important to design spaces that have better indoor thermal conditions.
The culture of a region is another key determinant of our architectural designs. It is the way people live and function in a city or space that defines the use and style of how the space should look and feel like.
Critical Regionalism' or context is the process of design which accommodates climatic and social factors of the region where the building is to be constructed. The overall context of what surrounds the structure to be built.
We are passionate about creating functional, aesthetic and sustainable spaces!

Did you know that around 20% of all household water is used in the garden watering plants to keep them alive in our dry climate? You can do your bit to reduce this water usage and help your plants by mulching.
Mulching has so many advantages. It helps to conserve water by creating a protective barrier to reduce evaporation from the soil surface and keeps the soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter, improving plant root growth. It will keep the weeds down too. To find out more about our range of mulching products or for advice or a free quote, get in touch with our experienced team today.
