When should I dig up my Japanese maple?
Dig in the Fall Japanese Maples are best transplanted when they’re dormant, which means fall. When digging up the tree, be careful of the roots. A rule of thumb is if the trunk is 2″ in diameter, dig at least 9″ from the truck all around.
When can I cut back my Japanese maple?
When to Prune Japanese Maple Trees The best time to trim most ornamental and fruit trees is during the winter months while they are dormant. For Japanese maples, it is recommended to do structural pruning in the winter and wait until late spring, after the leaves come out, for fine pruning.
How do you move a Japanese maple without killing it?
Begin by digging a trench around the root ball. As long as your tree is dormant, cutting the roots will not damage your Japanese maple. In fact, root pruning will force the tree to produce more fibrous roots at the cut. This will help your tree become established in its new home.
How do you trim an overgrown Japanese maple tree?
Start by pruning back branches that point to the inside of the tree, grow straight up or currently rub against other branches. Also cut away any damaged or dead wood. Next, identify any overeager branches that look long, spindly and thin compared to the rest of the branches. Cut these off at their base.
How close can you plant a Japanese maple to your house?
Spacing. Dwarf or weeping Japanese maples grow slowly and typically don’t mature wider than 10 feet. Plant such smaller-maturing cultivars no closer than 6 feet from a house’s foundation, sidewalk or driveway. The measurement is made from the tree trunk to the structure.
Where is the best place to plant a Japanese maple tree?
Dappled or Afternoon Shade – A mature Japanese Maple thrives in full sun everywhere but the southernmost portions of its hardiness range, but is also happy with a bit more shade. It does need some sun for best foliage color, but the amount you give it can vary greatly.
How much can you trim a Japanese maple?
To avoid causing stress or stimulating unsightly growth, never remove more than one -fifth of a Japanese maple’s crown; you should also not prune a branch that is more than half the diameter of the parent stem. In addition, don’t remove more than a quarter of the foliage of any given branch.
Can you cut the top off a Japanese maple?
Japanese maples can be pruned anytime of the year. Of course, the dormant season is the best time to prune most deciduous trees for myriad reasons; no bugs, fewer disease pathogens, no leaves to rake but most importantly, a Japanese Maple’s branching pattern is visible and that’s one of the keys to pruning them.
Why are branches dying on my Japanese maple?
Japanese maples hate “wet feet,” so a combination of poor drainage and rain like we had in May can encourage a soil-borne fungal disease called phytophthora. This disease can kill trees branch by branch.
Do Japanese maples have deep roots?
A root system of a mature 6-8 foot Crimson Queen Japanese Maple allowed to develop naturally without any restrictions can spread out over 12 feet wide and up to 3 feet deep. For the sake of not getting too complicated, the root tips are where the majority of water and nutrients are absorbed.
Why are Japanese maples so expensive?
Originally Answered: Why are Japanese maples significantly more expensive than other types of trees? The biggest factor is that most of them are grown as grafted plants. This adds significant cost to each one as seedlings are much cheaper to produce. That and yes they are slow growing.
How much is a full grown Japanese maple worth?
A mature Japanese maple, for example, which could be small enough to be transplanted, can be worth $15,000.
Should you trim a Japanese maple tree?
Lynn prefers to prune Japanese maples in late summer, but beginners will find it easier to prune when trees are leafless and dormant in late fall to midwinter. Light pruning can be done any season except spring, when sap is rising. The goal of pruning is to encourage the tree’s natural and healthy growth habit.
Can you keep a Japanese maple small?
Very small varieties are grown in containers as bonsai specimen. Minor pruning may control the size of Japanese maple somewhat, but the best way to manage its size is by choosing a suitable variety. Japanese maple’s many fine qualities generally make it worth finding space for in the yard.
How do you shape a maple tree?
Do not remove too many large limbs on mature trees. Opening the canopy is done in young trees. Cut medium to small branches with the shears (shears are designed to cut a specific diameter- package labels specify cutting power). Trim smaller shoots with the shears by snipping at a slight angle.

Having a new lawn installed gives your home instant kerb appeal, but you'll need to care for the lawn properly if it is to stay healthy and thrive. Overwatering is a common mistake made by many owners of newly installed lawns.
So how do you know if you're overdoing the hydration of your new lawn installation?
Dangers of Overwatering Newly Installed Turf
Although new turf does need plenty of water, especially during hot, dry spells, it can be easy to overdo things. Overwatering can lead to problems including:
- damaged root system
- fungus and disease damage
- insect pest infestation
So how do you know if you've got your watering right?
New turf needs watering every day, sometimes twice a day if the weather is warm and sunny. Water the turf early in the morning and late in the evening so that the sun doesn't evaporate moisture from the grass.
After you have watered your turf, feel it with your finger. The grass should feel damp and springy. If it feels like a sponge full of water, you've overdone it. Check under the turf; it should feel damp but not muddy.
During the first week of watering, the soil underneath the turf should feel moist to a depth of a few centimetres. Once the turf has become established, you should water so that the moisture reaches a depth of around 15 centimetres. To check this depth, slide a long screwdriver into the soil; it should come out damp for about 15 centimetres along its length.
In addition to soggy grass, there are other signs that are indicative of an overwatered lawn.
Failure of Grass Roots to Grow into the Soil
Under normal circumstances, healthy grass plants should begin to grow down into the soil within a few weeks. Lift up a corner of the turf to see if it is easy or difficult to move. The turf should offer resistance; if not, you could be overwatering.
Too much water can cause root rot. After the first week, lift the turf and look to see that the roots are healthy and growing down. Signs of rotting could mean that you are watering too often or too much.
You can make sure that your newly installed lawn thrives by not overwatering it. For more advice and information on caring for your new lawn have a chat with your supplier.


Last summer UASRA President met with various UCLA administrators to propose the idea
of integrating more edible landscaping within the UAS community, starting with University Village. Things quickly got moving in the fall when CPO and the UCLA Sustainability department got involved. Over the last few weeks you may have noticed the landscaping crew adding some new trees. Some of the trees you’ll now see throughout the community include:
Fig (first image)
Persimmon (second image)
Pomegranate (third image)
In addition to introducing the edible landscaping we are also expanding the number of garden sites which will add more plots for resident use. UASRA
Garden Supervisor, Steve Lu, has worked closely with the Sustainability department by doing various walkthroughs of the community to find locations in which new garden sites can be added. Thanks to his contributions and research on what areas will have great sunlight, soil etc, the new sites have been approved. We will be adding a total of 5 new sites within the UAS community. There will be 2 new sites on Sawtelle located 3300 and 3310. The 2 new sites on Sepulveda are 3185 and 3241. The last location will be at the Rose Apartments. Below you can see a priliminary map. Once the official map is ready we will share with the community.


The two words seem innocent enough by themselves. Spring. Cleaning. No biggie, right? The words combine to form something greater than the individual parts, transforming into a phrase guaranteed to induce groans and sighs from homeowners nationwide.
While most of us think of dusting, vacuuming and beating draperies with tennis rackets when someone uses the two dreaded words, your home’s interior isn’t the only area that needs a little TLC after a long, cold winter. Yep, you need to focus some of that picking-up power on your lawn, too.
Don’t worry, it’s not that bad! Preparing your lawn for the year isn’t nearly as strenuous – or boring – as giving your home a thorough once-over. You can clean and de-winter your lawn in a single afternoon, and if you play your cards right, you might even be able to use it as an excuse to get out of some of the housecleaning.
First off, you don’t want to do anything until most or all of the snow melts away and the ground dries out a bit. Walking on wet, sloppy ground only serves to compact the soil particles underfoot, making it more difficult for your lawn to grow later on. It gets your shoes dirty, too. So stay off your lawn until it stops looking so moist.
When you can walk in your yard without leaving deep, damp footprints, it’s time to get to work. Start your spring shake-down by looking for any straggling snow piles. Spread the snow out into a thin layer so that it disintegrates quickly or shovel it off the lawn entirely. Either way, be careful to avoid driving the tip of your shovel into the soggy soil underneath the pile.
Next, you’re going to want to pick up any debris that showed up over the winter. My yard always seems to fall prey to the “three T’s” – toys, trash, and tree branches. Gather it up and get it off your lawn! Grass can’t grow buried underneath stuff.
The last bit of spring cleaning you need to do probably mirrors your final fall lawn task of the year – raking. I can hear the groans from here – raking? In the spring? Raking stinks!
Yeah, it does. But raking one last time in the spring picks up any leaves you may have missed in the fall. Wet leaves that have been soaking all winter and act as a hotbed of bacterial and fungal activity. Those baby fungi grow up into adult fungi and look to move out on their own, and your growing lawn’s an awfully inviting apartment – if you don’t remove the wet leaves, that is. Raking also helps to remove some of the thatch buildup in your lawn and spreads out damp, matted grass. Now your Spring cleaning is done!

Proposals for a memorial park to remember and honour local people who died from Covid-19 have been given the go-ahead.
Councillors approved plans for the park on a meadow grassland site at the northern end of Grassmoor Country Park near Chesterfield at a meeting on Thursday (September 9).
The site has been chosen with the support of the Friends of Grassmoor Country Park.
Cllr Barry Lewis, leader of Derbyshire County Council said:
“There are plans for a national memorial to remember those who have died during the pandemic and we welcome that proposal, but we also thought it appropriate to create a memorial accessible to the people of Derbyshire.
“This area of parkland will provide a beautiful space and a living memorial to the people of Derbyshire who died. It will also recognise the work of the NHS, front line staff and key workers in support of Derbyshire’s communities during such a challenging time.
“Our aim is to provide a welcoming and tranquil space for residents from all over our county to visit, to walk, to sit quietly and to remember lost loved ones and friends for years to come.”
The memorial park will be designed in keeping with the local landscape and will feature a native wildflower meadow leading to an area planted with trees including wild cherry, rowan, scots pine, hazel, birch, dogwood, oak, yew, wych elm and alder buckthorn.
These trees have been selected to give displays of blossom in the spring and fruit for birds and other wildlife in the summer and autumn and will be complemented by smaller, native shrub species.
A walkway to a memorial feature is also proposed for the site which will be made accessible to all. Visitors will also be able to explore beyond the memorial park to a reclaimed part of the country park offering panoramic views over Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
Work on the first phase of the park is expected to start later this autumn with help from the local community.
Further work to install seating to provide an area for quiet contemplation overlooking the park as it matures would follow in the second phase of the project when wildflowers would be seeded and information boards provided.
As the site grows and evolves over the coming years, it will provide a living, growing space that will develop into an area for quiet reflection and remembrance in the future.
Friends of Grassmoor Country Park have agreed to help with the planting and maintenance of the memorial park which will contribute to its target of planting a million trees by 2030.
Grassmoor Country Park is a popular country park that was developed on a reclaimed colliery site. It is easily accessible from Junction 29 of the M1 and the A617 and can be visited by bus.

4 Considerations for Increasing Biodiversity in Construction Projects
Table of Contents:
- Importance of Biodiversity in Construction Projects
- Consideration 1: Site Analysis and Design
- Consideration 2: Native Plant Selection
- Consideration 3: Creating Habitats and Ecological Features
- Consideration 4: Maintenance and Monitoring
Construction projects often have a significant impact on the environment, including the loss of natural habitats and biodiversity. However, with careful planning and implementation, construction projects can also contribute to the enhancement and conservation of biodiversity. This blog explores four essential considerations for increasing biodiversity in construction projects. By incorporating these considerations into the construction process, we can create sustainable and ecologically sensitive environments that support and promote diverse ecosystems.
Importance of Biodiversity in Construction Projects:
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing all species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems in which they exist. Construction projects, if not properly managed, can cause the destruction or fragmentation of habitats, leading to a loss of biodiversity. However, increasing biodiversity in construction projects brings several benefits, including the preservation of native species, improved ecological resilience, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Let’s explore four considerations to achieve this goal.
Consideration 1: Site Analysis and Design:
Before breaking ground, conducting a thorough site analysis is crucial. This analysis involves assessing the existing biodiversity, identifying ecologically sensitive areas, and understanding the local flora and fauna. By understanding the site’s unique characteristics, design plans can be tailored to minimize habitat destruction and maximize biodiversity preservation. Factors to consider include the location of existing ecosystems, migration corridors, and potential impacts on water resources.
Consideration 2: Native Plant Selection:
Choosing native plants is essential for promoting biodiversity in construction projects. Native plants have adapted to the local climate, soil conditions, and wildlife interactions over time. They provide food and shelter for native animals, support pollinators, and are more likely to thrive in their natural environment. By incorporating native plants into landscaping and restoration efforts, construction projects can create a more sustainable and resilient ecosystem.
Consideration 3: Creating Habitats and Ecological Features:
Incorporating diverse habitats and ecological features is crucial for increasing biodiversity. Construction projects can include elements such as green roofs, vegetated walls, and ponds, which provide additional habitats for various species. Incorporating features like bird boxes, bat roosts, and insect hotels can also encourage the colonization of wildlife. By mimicking natural habitats, construction projects can provide sanctuaries for both common and endangered species, fostering biodiversity.
Consideration 4: Maintenance and Monitoring:
Maintaining and monitoring the biodiversity of construction projects is essential for long-term success. Regular maintenance, including invasive species management and habitat restoration, ensures that the ecosystem remains healthy and sustainable. Monitoring the site’s biodiversity over time allows for adaptive management, identifying any potential threats or imbalances. Engaging local communities, experts, and conservation organizations can contribute to the ongoing protection and enhancement of biodiversity.
Increasing biodiversity in construction projects is a crucial step toward creating sustainable and environmentally friendly built environments. By considering site analysis and design, native plant selection, habitat creation, and ongoing maintenance, construction projects can contribute positively to the conservation of biodiversity. Implementing these considerations not only benefits the natural environment but also provides aesthetically pleasing spaces for people to enjoy. Let’s strive for construction practices that harmoniously coexist with nature and preserve our planet’s rich biodiversity.


New garden and engraving wall at Bromsgrove Clent Hills Vets to give pet-owners a place to remember
Lovely piece in the Bromsgrove Advertiser online 10/7/2017
We'll have more updates on the progress of our Memorial Pathway & Garden soon...
A VETERINARY practice in Bromsgrove has begun work on a new 'memorial pathway' and garden to give bereaved owners a place to remember their pets.
Clent Hills Vets staff are in the process of building a small garden area at the Kidderminster Road site, featuring a pathway lined with bricks, where grieving customers can have their animal's name engraved.
The new memorial site, which is set to be completed by the end of this month, is positioned next to the practice's existing bereavement room.
Marketing manager Amy Holloway said: "We know how devastating losing a pet can be so we wanted to create a space where pet owners, and our team, can come and sit peacefully and remember their pets.
"We announced the project on our Facebook page last week and it has been tremendously well received with many positive comments.”
Several of the vets' Facebook followers made reference to pets 'crossing the rainbow bridge', leading project managers to approach local schools about a potential project.
Pupils will be asked to create a rainbow sculpture to be featured in the garden as an extra-curricular design project.
Further details about the memorial garden are set to be announced in upcoming weeks. For more information contact Clent Hills Vets on 01527 889810.

Garden’s Don’t Lie…is a documentary style video which explores how our gardens can reveal the truth about our values and the lives we lead. Conceived and shot by filmmaker, Mona Khizam in the South Australian suburbs of Elizabeth Grove, Parkside & Salisbury, the video thematically explores three gardens and the relationship their owners have to their plots of land. Gardens Don’t Lie… looks beyond the public face of suburban gardens and explores the factors that make each of these 3 gardens what they are today: a garden where community is routinely grown alongside vegetables, a garden that brought to the fore a man long considered lost, and a memorial garden, forever caught in a moment of time.
Commissioned by OSCA as part of our ongoing Projects of the Everyday series.

Gardens Don’t Lie was initially shown – as a work-in-progress – at the inaugural SAGA: Adelaide International Woman’s Film Festival and Fontanelle Gallery, Port Adelaide in 2018.


This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.
My mom always has the best yard - lots of pretty (BIG!) flowers and last year she had the best herb garden.
I, do not.
But I want to! I try to plant flowers - but the weeds take over and therefore I end up growing weeds instead of pretty flowers.
I killed an entire herb garden last year.
So THIS year! We have cleared out some of the plants from our side yard and I am determined to have a pretty yard. Or at least a pretty planter. And I know that Expand ‘n Gro™ by Miracle-Gro will be the perfect tool to help me!
It helps grow up to three times more flowers and vegetables (when compared to native soil) and feeds for six months! Also, the natural fibers hold up to 50% more water than natural soil - so less watering (or, if there is little rain, less worrying about drying out those pretty flowers). The concentrated planting mix expands up to three times when mixed with water, so it will cover more surface area and FEED THOSE PLANTS!
Along with flowers and our HUGE Hosta plants, I wanted to plant a berry bush this year, or maybe try the herb garden again. Or something. I think G will really like that as well - she has already been helping me pull weeds this year so I know I will have a helper out there this summer.
Want to try out Expand 'n Gro yourself? Guess WHAT! You can!
Tell me - What does your yard look like? OR What do you WISH it looked like?

Any suggestions on what to plant in a small VERY sunny area that will be pretty and low maintenance?


This week I moved from San Francisco to Colorado Springs and among many culture shocks, I'm astounded by the amount of pavement, parking lots, and un/mis-used public space in this town of nearly half-a-million.
Synchronistically, I recently learned about a Portland-based organization called Depave. Their mission is to remove unnecessary concrete from urban areas and in those reclaimed spaces, plant gardens. Here's how depave.org describes the rationale:
The problem is concrete. Paved surfaces contribute to stormwater pollution, whereby rainwater carries toxic urban pollutants to local streams and rivers, greatly degrading water quality and riparian habitats. Pavement also disconnects us from our natural world.
For instructions on how to rip up pavement and clear away parking lots, visit www.depave.org. I wonder if we could plan a depaving day here in Colorado Springs?


BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- A project in the City of Binghamton that was delayed due to last year's flood is back underway.
Organizers of The Design Your Own Park Project announced Monday that construction of the pavilion at Sunflower Park is set to begin this week. The project, which should only take a few weeks to complete, will put the finishing touch on the park that was created from an abandoned space within the city.
The Design Your Own Park Project hopes that renovations like this will renew empty spaces within the city, give kids a positive atmosphere to play in, all while bringing people together.
"Getting people involved and doing a lot of good work for all the kids and neighbors here as well," said Tony Everlin, Design Your Own Park Steering Committee Member.
The Design Your Own Park Project is a collaboration between the City of Binghamton, the Binghamton Neighborhood Project and the United Way of Broome County.


Today there are six rose plants blooming in my garden along with peonies, poppies and evening primrose. Cranesbill geranium, bleeding heart and trillium (spiderwort) continue to show and the large hellebore I planted several years ago has been blooming since February- which is amazing since we live in Zone 4 or 5 -depending on who you ask.
We are overhauling the garden this year. We’ll be adding a gazebo and reconfiguring the raised beds and walkways. I am planning on adding a knot garden if it all works out. Hopefully I’ll be posting lots of pictures soon. This picture is one we took at last year’s visit to Young Living Farms in Mona, Utah.

Q: My neighbor’s camphor tree has branches that overhang the wall between our properties, and its roots are extending into my yard and damaging both the wall and my patio deck. Can I cut the branches and roots and bill my neighbor?
A: With recent developers positioning houses very close to the property lines to maximize the number of houses in the development, it is more common for branches and roots of a tree to extend over and into the property of the adjacent owner. Although the adjacent owner has rights to cut the intruding branches and use any overhanging product, such as fruit, both the tree’s owner and the adjacent owner have certain duties and responsibilities depending upon the particular circumstances.
First, the location of the trunk of the tree determines who owns it, even if the roots grow into the land of another. If the tree is located directly on the boundary line between the properties, then both landowners have common ownership of the tree which affects application of the rules described below. Neither owner has a right to cut down a tree on the property line or cut any part without the consent of the other owner, even if the tree is causing damage.

Have you ever wondered who creates beautiful public gardens or maintains our parks? Or perhaps you’re interested in a career in landscaping and want to know more about what the job involves?
In this article, we’ll take a look at what a landscaper is, what they do and how to become a landscaper.
To inspire the nation’s budding gardeners and landscapers, SGS Engineering has created a series of brainteasers with gardening tools hidden inside floral scenes.
Do you think you solve both brainteasers and beat the current average time of 51 seconds? Try it now!
What is a landscaper?
Landscapers use their knowledge and skills to design and create outdoor spaces. These might be public spaces like parks or private spaces like gardens and golf courses.
You could be a landscape designer or architect generating ideas for outdoor space and working on plans or a landscape gardener, responsible for creating and maintaining the space.
Some landscapers will be involved at all these levels, working with clients to design a garden, for example, before doing the hands-on work required to create it.
What does a landscaper do?
There are many different aspects to a landscaper’s job. Here are a few of the things a landscaper might do on a day-to-day basis.
- Liaise with your client about their vision and what they need. Your client might be an individual, a business, a garden center or local council.
- Follow plans made by architects.
- Order any supplies you need.
- Prepare the land or soil.
- Create lawns, flower beds, borders, and pathways.
- Install water features like ponds and fountains or any other garden features.
- Plant flowers, trees and shrubs.
- Offer advice on how to maintain the space after it’s been created or provide ongoing maintenance services.
Landscapers spend much of their time outdoors in all weather and they work with a wide range of tools on a daily basis, including power tools, so they need to be safety-conscious.
Before you start working as a landscaper, you’ll need to ensure you have all the right equipment and tools for the job, that you feel confident using them safely, and that you have tool boxes to store them in.
How to Become a Landscaper: The Steps
There are different routes to becoming a landscape gardener.
You can study at college for landscaping qualifications. This will help you build up your knowledge and skills before you start looking for work or set yourself up as a landscaper.
Courses are available from a Level 1 Diploma right through to a T-level Qualification, which is broadly equivalent to three A-levels but is more practice-based, offering students the opportunity to learn technical knowledge and skills.
You can also apply for specialist courses run by professional bodies, such as The Royal Horticultural Society or the British Association of Landscape Industries.
You can become a landscaper by undertaking an apprenticeship in horticulture or landscape construction. To do an apprenticeship, you’ll typically need several GCSEs, including English and Maths.
If you want to go straight into work and learn on the job, you can apply for positions as an assistant landscaper or gardener and work your way up. If you can show that you have some experience – even if it’s voluntary work – this will help boost your CV.
Landscaping can be an interesting and rewarding career for people who enjoy spending time outdoors.
There are several different routes into the profession and once you start working as a landscaper, you’ll find no two days are the same. Check out how to become a farmer in Ontario in 8 Steps.

Landscaping plays a pivotal role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any property. Among the myriad of materials available to the modern landscaper, limestone stands out as a popular choice. Revered for its natural beauty and timeless appeal, this sedimentary rock has been employed in various architectural and landscaping applications over the centuries. However, like any other material, it comes with its unique set of advantages and drawbacks.
In this post, we explains the pros and cons of using limestone in landscaping:
Pros of Landscaping Limestone
- Natural Beauty: Limestone, with its subtle earthy tones, can seamlessly blend into natural landscapes, creating an organic, cohesive look. Its neutral palette provides an elegant backdrop against which plants and other garden elements can pop.
- Durability: Limestone is hardy and can withstand extreme weather conditions. When properly sealed and maintained, it's resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, making it an excellent choice for outdoor applications in varying climates.
- Versatility: Available in various forms – from fine-ground powders to large boulders – limestone is versatile. Whether you're creating a pathway, a retaining wall, or ornamental features, there's a form of limestone suited for the task.
- Environmentally Friendly: Limestone is abundant and is usually sourced locally in many areas. Using local materials reduces the environmental footprint tied to transportation, offering a sustainable choice for eco-conscious property owners.
- Increases Property Value: Given its aesthetic appeal and durability, limestone landscaping features can boost the overall value of a property, offering a good return on investment.
Cons of Landscaping Limestone
- Cost: High-quality limestone can be relatively pricey, especially when you factor in the cost of sealing and other maintenance measures. While there are cheaper alternatives, they may not provide the same durability or aesthetic appeal.
- Maintenance: Limestone is porous, which means it can absorb water and other liquids. Without proper sealing, it can be susceptible to stains, especially in areas where it might come into contact with oils, red wine, or acidic substances.
- Erosion Over Time: While limestone is durable, it's not entirely impervious to the elements. Acid rain, in particular, can slowly erode limestone surfaces over time, causing them to lose their original texture and appearance.
- Limited Color Range: Limestone primarily offers a palette of earthy, neutral tones. If you're looking for vibrant or dark hues, limestone might not be your best choice.
- Weight: Limestone, especially when used in large quantities, is heavy. This can pose challenges during installation and may require specialized equipment or professional assistance.
TLDR; Should You Use Limestone for Your Landscaping Project?
Limestone is undeniably a striking choice for landscaping. Its natural beauty, versatility, and durability make it a favorite among many property owners and landscape designers. However, it's essential to weigh the benefits against the potential drawbacks, considering both the upfront costs and the long-term maintenance requirements.
Like all landscaping decisions, choosing whether to use limestone should be based on individual preferences, local availability, budget, and the specific needs of the project. If you're considering limestone for your landscaping, it might be worthwhile to consult with a landscaping professional to understand how best to incorporate it into your design while mitigating potential downsides.


The Art of Sustainable Gardening
If you’re looking for Jim Heid, Grand Wailea’s Landscaping Manager, you’ll find him somewhere on the resort’s 40 acres with a bit of Maui soil under his nails and a satisfied smile on his face. After all, these have been his stomping grounds since he joined the Grand Wailea team in 2008, and he knows each plant, flower, tree, and blade of grass like the back of his hand.
“There are about 600 different species of plants that grow here,” he says. “I’m constantly planting, experimenting, and moving things around.”
Raised in Southern California with a farming background, Jim, who has two degrees in horticulture, came to Maui in 1976 to develop the protea industry in Hawaiʻi. Proteas, also known as sugarbushes, are native to South Africa, but are well suited to Maui’s climate. Having done his thesis work on this flowering plant, Jim quickly transformed his passion for proteas into a new career with the establishment of an 80-acre protea farm among the rolling hills of rustic Kula in Upcountry Maui. Under his leadership, the farm became the largest flower exporter out of Hawaiʻi, with Jim’s Maui proteas auctioned, sold, and transported all around the globe.
“Growing proteas gave me the opportunity to travel and see the world,” he recalls. “But one day, the original developer of Grand Wailea, a man named Takeshi Sekiguchi, had his team approach me to help set up the landscaping at the resort. In addition to running my protea farm, I was president of the local nursery association at the time, so I was asked to build relationships with local nurseries with the goal of supporting and buying local. So I became a liaison between the resort and local nurseries to begin the planting process at Grand Wailea using Maui-grown plant material. In fact, during that initial period, I actually ended up supplying all of the original plantings here at the resort.
“In 2008, I was asked to join Grand Wailea as the full-time landscaping manager, which sounded like a fun challenge, so I sold my protea farm and have been here ever since! It was a change in scenery and a change in artistry,” he laughs. “But I have a much broader canvas now.”
Indeed, 23 of Grand Wailea’s 40 acres are landscaped grounds that contain an ever-growing collection of plant species. In addition to maintaining the 600 species that currently grow on the resort’s stunning grounds, Jim and his dedicated landscaping team are in the midst of an ongoing project to expand the resort’s ecosystem to include more plants endemic to Maui.
“What’s driving this is Grand Wailea’s sustainability efforts and growing consciousness about minimizing water usage. That’s a huge thing,” he emphasizes. “Endemic plants generally require less maintenance and less water, but on the whole they’re not as eye-catching as the non-endemic flowering plants we have here on the property. The challenge is how do we blend these somewhat ordinary-looking endemic plants with the big flowering plants we already grow here? Especially since many of our non-native plants are colorful and beautiful—almost natural works of art.
“One example of the approach we’ve taken is near Wailea Beach, where we use indigenous plants along the pathway, since they’re hardier. As we get up away from the ocean into the more intimate areas of the resort, that’s where you’ll find your non-endemic gingers, heliconia, and other flowering types of trees and shrubs. So there we’ve created a nice mix of indigenous and nonindigenous plants, which not only showcases the beauty of Maui’s flora, but also embodies our commitment to sustainability.”
Jim is already looking to the future, having connected with a local nursery to obtain 25 new species of endemic plants to make Grand Wailea’s grounds even more attractive—and more environmentally friendly.
“I’m constantly creating,” he says. “I’ve always loved trying out new designs, so this wider range of planting choices gives me the chance to create beautiful landscaping while also promoting sustainable living. What’s not to love?”

A new symbol for a developing area
22 July 2021
A new public and business space for recreation and sports will appear in the north-eastern part of Tyumen. The industrial-style park will be located on an area of almost 3 hectares. The Tyumen plant "Svezy" will invest over 1 million rubles in the design of the park and will provide plywood for the construction of multifunctional skate park facilities.
The construction of the park was initiated by the Agency for Infrastructure Development of the Tyumen Region and received the support of the Sveza company and a number of other representatives of large business. Preparations for the construction began with a public opinion survey.
After preparatory work, together with the Administration of the Lenin Administrative District, the project of the park and its functional content were approved. According to the plan, there will be walking areas, exercise equipment, art objects and a skate park made of high-quality Sveza plywood on the territory.
“By investing in the construction of the park, we want to give the city an example of a space that develops people, business, the district and the city as a whole. Our goal is to create a platform where it will be convenient and comfortable to spend time, which will fully meet the needs of local residents, ”notes Nikolai Gorodetsky, director of the Sveza branch in Tyumen.
An industrial-style park will be located on the territory of DSK-500. Its distinctive feature will be the use of environmentally friendly materials in design elements and infrastructure facilities. The area of the space will be 2.8 hectares and will combine two main zones: business and social. More than 25 thousand people live in the construction area of the park. In the future, the territory will become a center of attraction and social activity, where every visitor will find opportunities for recreation, work, creativity and sports.


Skate Park Development
Project was completed July 2017!
The City of Leavenworth and the Cascade School District partnered to build a new skate park in Leavenworth. This sub committee of the Council Parks Committee is worked with local skate boarders to work through the development of this new skateboard facility with a design-build firm.
Through a community process receiving input on various sites around the city of Leavenworth, Enchantment Park was determined the best location.
It has parking, restrooms and many other community activities to make it a lively and beautiful spot for skating.
The process will start (fall 2016) with a community meeting to determine preferred features and style of the park.
A second community (mid-winter 2017) meeting will present designs for community review.
A final design (mid/late-winter) will be presented to the Skate Park Committee. The City will post the final design for comment on their website.
Construction will begin (late-winter/early-spring). An optomistic goal of completion by late-spring/early-summer with a deadline of September 2017.


After years of planning, Galveston County is moving forward with updates for Elva Lobit Park, located at 1901 East FM 646, League City, Texas 77573.
Parks and Cultural Services Director, Julie Diaz, looks forward to making Elva Lobit Park attractive and more accommodating for visitors again, “I’m hoping these improvements will result in more park usage with visitors and pavilion rentals. I’m so excited to see the new additions in the coming months.”
The new upgrades will include brand new restroom facilities, replacing the current restrooms that had become dated. Also part of the project is the demolition of the old pavilion area and the construction of a new one.
Commissioner Ken Clark, who represents Precinct 4 where the park is located, supports the updates to the Park and stated, “The improvements will make the park more user-friendly for individuals and families alike. Hopefully the added improvements will create greater usage of the park.”
Demolition of the existing structures will be completed by June 6th. The new restrooms will be installed by July 2019 and construction on the new pavilion will be completed in the Fall 2019.

Studio Weil is a painting and sculpture studio designed and built for the American painter and sculptor Barbara Weil overlooking the sea in Port d’Andratx in Mallorca, Spain. Daniel Libeskind worked closely with Ms. Weil to create a building that not only responds to the surrounding landscape, but also forms a space which complements and contrasts the artist’s work. The building houses exhibition spaces, working quarters and a dramatic landscaped garden.
The studio takes the form of a concrete arc that is cut through with a pair of stairs: one leading up to a roof deck with spectacular views of the sea; the other down from a stone and hardscaped garden that slopes into the ground-floor gallery. The roof holds large scale sculptures, which can be seen from afar.
“Studio Weil is a brave and remarkable structure and a fascinating example of creative synergy between two artists who, unknowingly, had shared something like a common approach to visual form long before Libeskind became news.” –The Guardian (September 2003)Follow us


This road widening project necessitated construction of two retaining walls that were adjacent to private residences. It was a great example of how QCI’s versatile services can help in complex situations.
This project consisted of the widening of Riverdale Drive to two lanes for approximately 245 linear feet. To widen the road, two retaining walls along the northern and southern sides of Riverdale Drive had to be constructed. Both of the retaining walls consisted of auger-cast drilled soldier pile assemblies with precast lagging panels and fencing. The walls are located immediately adjacent to private residences.

Method of composting
Let's dig a hole to put the plant. Goat dung, dry leaves, compost, etc. should be used in that pit. If artificial fertilizer is used, the amount should be checked.
Climate Change Movement

Located at Gordon Ave and Keith Pl.
Brothers Creek Park is wild!
Seriously wild. It's all narrow trails and plants. There's plants everywhere. Everything is so green!
That's great, but this park is named after a creek. While Brothers Creek does flow through the park, several things prevent it from being properly enjoyed. As previously mentioned, the trail through this park is very narrow. It is kept that way by the conveniently placed fence.
Except this fence is not convenient at all. While it does come in handy if you don't want to worry about falling off the edge of the gorge Brothers Creek has carved out, there's just not any potential for exploring within the fence. If that weren't constraining enough, this is the best view of the creek from behind the fence:
It's just not that satisfying. But luckily, I found a much better view:
It just took a quick duck under the fence near the entrance and enough common sense to not walk off a cliff. So no need to thank me. We found the park stake lying on the ground, so we brought it over to where we think the park should end.
I should also mention that the entrance to this park is extremely hard to find. We only found it because a nice man behind a bush told us to look beside the lamp post:
There's a tiny trail just to the right of it. This is at the end of Keith Place.
Basically, Brothers Creek Park is Narnia.
Good: plants everywhere, it smells nice, cool view of a big creek
Bad: fence, dark, hard to find
