Having a house means there’s a whole lot of work that needs to be done. The revamping and redesigning can cost you a lot mainly based on the size of your premises. But there are some tiny things you can do to make your house look great without spending a great deal of money on it.
A well-maintained garden is full of life. Plant some gorgeous shrub in the front of your lawn. Additionally, you can plant some tall shrubs in front of the doorway to give it a fantastic look. Also, buy some different kinds flowers and plants and place them in different areas so that they receive a good life and water them now and then.
Clean Up And Enhance Your Driveway
Nothing turns off a person more than a dirty driveway; it’s always a great idea to put money into driveway revamping. This is one of the most vital elements of your property, and it’ll give an immediate impression to the purchaser what to expect from the home if they intend to buy it. The driveway should be attractive to the eye and free from all the stains and cracks.
In the cold cold nights it is entertaining to sit out in the warmth of the fire, so add a firepit to your yard and give it a different look. Buying a firepit can be expensive, but you quickly create one yourself by using some flat stones, mortar, Royal Palm Beach Raccoon Removal or cement onto a gravel surface.
When buying outdoor furniture, you’re not restricted to the natural tones of wood: white, black and beiges or metal pieces. Adding colour to your garden furniture will enhance the appearance of your outdoor seating. For stylish durability, book bold color combination for the accent and cushion pieces.
Dig A Pond
Adding a pond to your garden is a fantastic improvement, building a pond isn’t that difficult? You can buy the relevant material for the lake from any building supplies store in under $100. All you need to do is dig and install it. With the passage of time, you may add a few fish, lily pads and surround it with flowers. You might even attract some turtles and frogs.
Search For Dual-Purpose Furniture
On the lookout for durable furniture. Ottoman design doubles as an additional sitting on your patio will include more variation. A simple wooden seat with cozy cushion seating is crucial for outdoor spaces.

Nishat Bagh, also known as the garden of joy, is a terraced Mughal garden sprawled along the eastern side of the Dal Lake, with the towering Zabarwan hills as its backdrop, in the city of Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. The second largest Mughal garden in the Kashmir Valley, it is eclipsed only by the Shalimar Bagh, which also lies on the banks of the Dal Lake.
The aptly named ‘garden of joy' is truly a sight to behold, designed by Asaf Khan, on the orders of Mughal Emperor Jahangir, as a token of love for his wife Nur Jahan, the sister of Asaf Khan; also to serve as a place of leisure and reminiscence. Widely considered to be a master class of Mughal horticulture, the garden teems with rarely seen species of flowering plants, complete with lengthy alleyways lined with Chinar and cypress trees. Fondly named as the Garden Farah Baksh or the ‘Bestower of Pleasure’ by Emperor Jahangir, the garden also came to be known as Faiz Baksh, afterwards.
Nishat Bagh has surprisingly remained intact since its construction in 1619. A garden that has stayed true to its Persian heritage, with its panorama on lines of the Islamic garden layout, the place is spread over 32 acres of flat land, its rectangular shape sculpted into 3 terraces containing pools of flowing water. Wondrous to watch is the flow of water from the higher terrace pool to the lower one, sashaying down as a resplendent waterfall. Every pool has multiple water-fountains lined-up in the centre, outlined by rows of Chinar trees and walk-ways running in tandem with the pool. The source of water is the central water-canal ‘Shah Nahar’, fed as it is by a mile long canal drawing water from the Dal Lake.
Each of the three floors of the terrace has its own specialty, the first one containing a public audience hall with a black marble throne conveniently placed at the centre. The second terrace houses the ‘Diwan-e-khaas’, originally meant for the Emperor’s conversations with his nobles. The third terrace is characterised by two small stone-pavilions for the royal harem, surrounded by the splendorous Zenana Gardens, which also contain a black-marble pavilion called the Baradari.

With the approval from both the St. Cloud City Council and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) Board of Trustees, plans to restore the George W. Friedrich park are underway.
“We still need to get the final financial paperwork figured out and that could still take weeks,” said Mayor Dave Kleis.
Starting in July, clean up efforts for the park will start. “We have already had a lot of people calling wanting to help,” Kleis said.
On Thursday there will be a walking tour at 5:30 p.m. at the park, which is at the end of University Drive Southeast. An informational meeting will follow at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
During that time the mayor will discuss his plans for the park. The mayor said he hopes to get feedback from the community on what they hope to see from the restoration of the park.

Update: Well, it took a lot longer than I'd planned, but I've finally finished. After taking all of the suggestions for the area at the bottom right into consideration, I decided that due to the angle of the wall anything more than a simple path wouldn't be possible. To make up for that, I've redesigned the area around it, changing the gardens and walls of the main building thingy and making the samurai part at the bottom right into it's only little area. I've also changed a hundred other things as well. It took absolutely ages to get everything right
Oh my god! It's a city now?! Well, as you can see, quite a lot has changed since it was a town ([link]
). So much so that I thought I'd make it a new deviation and not another update
Because I've been having loads of ideas for side quests in this area, it had to get bigger. It's almost double the size now, adding loads more room for new buildings. The two new buildings to the lower right are where the Samurai/Ninja (haven't quite decided yet) who defend the city from the viscous wild Pokémon will live. The very large building at the top is where the leader/head/I-can't-think-of-the-correct-name of the city will live. I haven't decided what the inside will be like yet. And finally, the empty area at the bottom right is, well, empty. I can't think of anything to put there, so suggestions are very welcome!
What do you think?


The public is invited to a meeting on Thursday, Oct. 3, to discuss tentative plans for the 2nd Street Streetscape Project. The meeting will be held from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located on the second flood of Muscatine City Hall, 215 Sycamore St., Muscatine.
The 2nd Street project is another in a series of projects undertaken by the City of Muscatine’s to upgrade the downtown area infrastructure using the Complete Street policy along with concepts from the EPA Greening America’s Communities program, and ideas from the walkability and placemaking efforts.
The effort began with improvements to Riverside Park and the development of the Riverside Park Master Plan Update, continued with the Mississippi Drive Corridor Revitalization project, and is now focused on enhancing 2nd Street.
Bolton & Menk of Des Moines, Iowa, is the design consultant for the 2nd Street project that will replace sidewalks and install other amenities along the 2nd Street corridor from Pine Street to Mulberry Avenue. The design firm is expected to finish the plans by the end of October with a public hearing before the Muscatine City Council tentatively scheduled for Nov. 21. A December bid letting is anticipated with construction tentatively scheduled to start in Spring 2020.
This is one of two projects that will be working toward completing the infrastructure for the downtown business district. The 2nd and Mulberry roundabout is the final piece of the Mississippi Drive Corridor Revitalization Project to be completed. Muscatine Power & Water (MPW) will be removing the power poles along Mississippi Drive from Mulberry to Broadway at the end of the roundabout project which will provide better views of the Mississippi River to residents and visitors.
The $2.1 million contract for the 2nd and Mulberry roundabout was awarded to Heuer Construction by the Muscatine City Council at its August 15 meeting. The actual construction schedule for this project that is expected to take 77 construction days has not been established. Business owners had asked the City and contractor to avoid closing the Mulberry and 2nd Street intersection during the months of October, November, and December due to the holiday sales season.

At the Isle Mill we believe passionately in collaboration, craftsmanship and creativity, so we were delighted to become involved with an exciting project involving The Chelsea Flower Show.
This RHS gold medal-winning garden also won the trophy for Best Show Garden in its category.
‘The Still Garden’ was designed by accomplished garden designer Jane Porter and was inspired by her background in Scotland, bringing a glimpse of Scotland to The Chelsea Flower Show.
The garden was the first Scottish garden to feature at the show in 17 years and sent a clear message, encouraging reuse, repurposing and creativity. This tranquil space focused on plants that thrive in the Scottish climate. The dry stone walling and the clever use of upcycled whisky casks and copper distillery vessels displayed traditional crafts, bringing to life the character of this award-winning garden.
It was wonderful to hear Scottish soprano Lee Bisset performing Robert Burns songs on press day, bringing a sense of authenticity and Scottish charm.
The garden also featured upcycled textiles by talented Scottish textile designer Andrea Chappell.
Andrea is passionate about sustainability, hand-making and locally sourced materials. Combining these elements, along with her heritage skills of kiltmaking and printmaking, Andrea promotes a more sustainable means of making, using deadstock, repurposed and vintage textiles.
The Isle Mill collaborated with Andrea on fabric for a stunning hand-made kilt outfit for the garden designer Jane to wear at the show, which features end-of-line fabric from our archives. The fabric was then hand-printed and embroidered to reflect the plants of the garden.
It was a pleasure to be involved in this inspiring project.

Our friends Theresa and Dave came on over on Black Friday and we planted trees in Karen’s honor. We managed to get about 125 trees in the ground. It was quite a bit of work for us, but provided a real sense of accomplishment. I’m still learning the tricks, and have limited tools, so it wasn’t really something where others could participate this time around.
Planting seedlings in the ground quickly required the use of planting bars (dibble bars), of which I have two. I’m really pleased with how it went, and plan to do this as many times as it takes until Karen’s vision is realized. Basically, her vision was to remove all the locust trees and replace them with trees that are colorful in the fall. She loved the fall.
Over the weekend I put 120 more trees in pots for later planting, and have about 75 more to pot this weekend. This is a task that I’d prefer to do alone this time around. It’s just putting dirt (potting mix) in pots with little trees, and gives me time to reflect.
Perhaps next spring I’ll have a tree planting party where all our friends and family can come out to plant a few trees in her honor. Planting the seedlings took special tools, but planting potted trees only takes shovels (and sweat), so everybody could bring their own, as well as share mine. Think about it, and if enough people want to do that we’ll make a celebration of it. It doesn’t have to be a lot of trees. A couple would do just fine. Spring is the best time to plant, so we probably shouldn’t wait until her birthday. The time of her passing might be a little late in the year, but around that time might be a good choice. She’d want us to do something positive in her memory, so I’ll bring it up again in the spring.
On other fronts, I did manage to spray down all the fields, and they are ready for the next phase of flower planting in the spring. This will include another herbicide spray prior and then the planting of a special mix of ground cover flowers and things like clover that are designed to choke out any remaining weeds and mitigate the amount of new ones sprouting up in the spring/summer. In the spring and summer there will be a couple of cuttings when the flowers go to seed. These cuttings will be done at a 10″-12″ height, instead of a normal cut height. This helps spread the new seeds around a bit, without damaging the flowers so much that they can’t bloom an extra time or two over the spring/summer. That will be followed up in the fall with a couple other special steps to ensure success, but I’ll talk about those steps when the time is nearer.

photos by GLENN CURCIO About 15 years ago under the direction of Forest Park Forever, a group formed 25 years ago to revitalize the iconic green space, 41-acres were set aside to establish two new nature areas in the 1,371-acre Forest Park in St. Louis.
Many city dwellers would be surprised by the number of animals living in their midst.
The animals have been enticed back by the careful planting and management of vegetation native to Missouri. More than 600 plant species can now be found in the park, about 20 percent of what exists in the state. The big bluestem, eastern blazing star and royal cup plantare examples of species that have been planted, while those that have reappeared on their volition include Michigan lily, Indian pipe, and grape fern. A man-made stream flowing a mile through the center of the park attracts birds that usually are not seen in metropolitan areas, such as canvas-back ducks, Bonaparte gulls, eastern bluebirds, black crown night heron and indigo buntings. Bald eagles also make appearances during the winter.

Tiger Woods will be designing his first golf course in the United States this summer. The course will be located in a development called Bluejack National, which is in Montgomery, Texas (outside of Houston). Tiger Woods Design plans to complete the 18-hole course in the fall of 2015, and will also be adding a a nine-hole “short course.”
According to TigerWoods.com, the first TW Design will replace the former course on the property called Blaketree National Golf Club. The stated purpose of a completely new design is “to make the best use of the area’s spectacular terrain and natural view corridors.” The terrain includes “755 acres of gently rolling and beautifully wooded countryside dotted with natural lakes and streams.”
There is no doubt that adding Tiger Woods to the project will help the developer, Beacon Land Development, sell the “nearly 400 private residences.” TW is all about quality, and I’m sure the golf course will be a great test.
In addition to the golf, there are several amenities that will make Bluejack National an exciting place to live. A movie theater, bowling alley, and archery range are a few of the perks. There is no word if Woods will be offering private lessons…yet!

Roadbase is defined as the layer of aggregates under the paved layer of a road. The aggregates are typically crushed stone of various sizes, either natural or recycled, including coarse and fine aggregates. Limestone Base material is primarily used in driveways and pathways, and an excellent wet weather product. It can also be used for major infrastructure, local council projects, residential subdivisions, road and pavement construction, road duplications, under slabs, footpaths, under pavers, under curbs and channels.
Composed of screened aggregate generally ranging from 3 to 5 inches in diameter. This product can be produced to meet state density test. Generally used to control erosion and fill soft or large voids, drainage ditches, heavy equipment construction entrances,
Pea Gravel is a native Texas stone that is round and about 3/8” in size. This native material ranges in color from white to brown primarily, with a little bit of additional color. It is also available in another variety that ranges from cream to white.
This Limestone rock is primarily used for large pipe embedment, but is also very popular for topping flex base driveways. The size range is 1 1/4” down to about 1/4” , with the primary size being 1” to 3/4”, thus the name 1” Limestone. The various sizes enable the rock to lock up well, especially when used as a topping rock on Flex Base driveways. This material can be used on a wide variety of applications including flower beds, as the aggregate in concrete (which it is designed for), around pipe embedment, for French drains, and the list goes on.

Komodo Tropical Terrain
Komodo Tropical Terrain. Many people consider the choice of substrate to be simply aesthetic. However, the substrate has a greater effect than just decoration, and provides a microclimate environment that can affect the health of the inhabitants. Although choosing the substrate is partially a matter of the owner’s personal preferences, it must also take into account the needs of the occupants. Burrowing species for example will prefer both a depth of substrate and a type that they can easily tunnel through. In many habitats the ideal solution may be to provide a selection of diverse substrates at different levels. This will provide a variety of environments as well as a more natural and visually attractive living space.

How You Can Enhance Your Home'S LandscapeLandscaping plays an absolutely critical role in influencing the look and feel of your family's home. There is nothing more impressive than a home with fantastic landscaping. You can learn the best ways to landscape your home by carefully reading this article. The time-tested advice contained in this article will, if applied correctly, enable you to greatly improve your home's landscaping.
When planning a landscaping project for your house, be sure that you put your design on paper first. This will help you visualize your concept and ensure that your project is going to work. This is going to help ensure that you do not waste your time and your money with a misguided plan.
Do not settle for a cheap design such as a patio or a deck if you are not going to use it. It might be worth it to pay a professional designer to help you create the kind of space and design you will use and enjoy throughout different seasons.
Use balance, not symmetry. A balanced distribution of plants creates a focal point, but the garden should never be symmetrical. For example, a large tree to the left of the garden can be balanced by two smaller trees to the right. This creates a much more desirable effect in the garden, whereas a symmetrical look appears completely unnatural.
Pick out products that are made well and avoid cheap ones. Most home improvement discount retailers only offer lower quality items.

Plans to transform part of Aberdeen’s city centre into a large public open space, or civic square
, have taken a step forward with the unveiling of a new name and identity for the plan. The City Square
, would open off Union Street and build a new public space over Union Terrace Gardens and the Denburn.
The vision is described on the City Square website
as “a destination that is inspiring in its design with visible and accessible green space at street level that becomes an enjoyable, focal point for everyone to meet and gather”.
This is not the first time, of course, that these plans have been put forward. I can remember writing articles about a similar proposal in the 1980s. The plans were then dusted off as a millennium project. This time, though, they have the backing of ACSEF
and Aberdeen businessman Sir Ian Wood, who has pledged to part fund the project.
The idea is that building the City Square would reclaim more than five acres of space at street level, right in the heart of the Granite City – building over the sunken Union Terrace Gardens, the adjacent railway and dual carriageway.
In this space the project team envisage a contemporary arts centre, with a public open space incorporating landmark sculpture and public art. The initial plans include water and lighting features that would excite the eye both day and night.
There would also be performance and plaza areas, gardens and a children’s play area. It would also be an ideal area from which to enjoy the granite architecture of Union Terrace, Rosemount and the Cowdray Hall, war memorial and Art Gallery.
By building across from Union Terrace to Belmont Street, it is envisaged that the back of the buildings on the east side would be ideal to create a cosmopolitan cafe area overlooking the square.
The concourse level below the square would provide linkage to the bus and rail stations, The Green and the Union Square retail development. It is envisaged that the concourse would also accommodate arts space, indoor events and attractions celebrating the heritage and industries of the region.
It would good to think that this time we could set down a marker that the 21st Century is going to be another ‘golden age’ for Aberdeen.
We have had too much talk and too little action in the 20th Century. Union Street did not get the go-ahead at the end of the 18th century by shying away from the scale of the challenge.
This time it is time for action.
Or as the City Square website says. This time. This place. This Generation.


Mayor reads Diane’s book to Michigan grammar school
From the Montcalm County and Ionia County Daily News:
IONIA, MICHIGAN — To commemorate Arbor Day, fifth graders at Jefferson Elementary School in Ionia participated in a hands-on demonstration of a tree planting, received a special proclamation from the city and had an extensive question and answer session with the mayor on Friday afternoon. Ionia fifth graders triumphantly plopped the ivory silk lilac tree into the ground where, with proper care, it should thrive for decades.
After the tree planting ceremony Mayor Daniel Balice read Diane Muldrow’s award-winning book We Planted a Tree to the students, followed by an “ask me anything” session.
“Planting trees is not only beautiful, but it’s good for the environment,” said Ionia Mayor Daniel Balice. “It helps with providing shade and it certainly is an important part of the beautification of streets and buildings. We want them to know that replenishing our tree stock as they inevitably get old and get sick — and sometimes we have to cut them down — is an important part of our stewardship for the world.”

The Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, through their Community Development Grant, has provided $70,000 for the Gracemere Streetscaping project.
Mayor of Rockhampton Region, Margaret Strelow said this project was important for the Gracemere community.
“Gracemere has undergone extensive residential and commercial development over recent years and as one of our main growth areas within our Region, now is the time to enhance and add value,” said Mayor Strelow.
“Council has met with local residents, we have listened to their ideas and as a result have identified ways that we can improve the aesthetics of the local area. We have been working quite closely with them through the whole process.”
The Gracemere Streetscaping project will improve Gracemere’s streets through the planting of trees in dedicated median strips and footpaths.
“A mixture of mature and new plants has been planted along Conaghan Street, Johnson Road and Somerset Drive in Gracemere, making it greener and cooler and generally making Gracemere a better place to live,” said Mayor Strelow.
“I would like to thank Federal Member for Flynn, Ken O’Dowd and the Federal Government for their support and assistance with this project, and look forward to seeing the plants in full bloom in future years.”
The Gracemere Streetscaping project is due to be completed by the end of October.
