If you have decided to have your garden landscaped, you need to ensure that you choose the right landscape designer. Choosing the right designer is vital as the design of the garden will impact every other step that you take. There are a number of points that you need to consider when choosing the right designer for your garden.
Know What You Want In Your Landscape Design
There are many people who assume that when they hire a landscape designer in Perth they should leave everything to them. This is not actually correct and you need to know what you want as part of the design before you start talking to any designers. If you leave the design to the designer, you could have a garden that looks lovely, but does not suit any needs that you might have.
Before you talk to designers, you need to consider what you want to be able to do in your garden. You should also take the time to sketch any ideas that you have for the garden. It will be much easier to choose the right designer if you have a clear idea of what you want.
Create A Shortlist Of Landscape Design Companies
When you know what you want, you need to create a short list of design companies in your local area. To create this list, you should talk to your neighbors and friends to get some recommendations. Ideally, you will want to narrow down your options to 2 to 3 different companies that you will talk to and get a formal bid from.
A good starting point is a local directory like houzz. You can compare reviews and locations to select a few companies for closer review.
Have A Team Approach
The best landscaping projects will come from a team effort by the designer and the contractor. The contractor who does all the work may be the designer, but in many cases, it will be someone different. You need to ensure that your contractor and designer will work well together. If you do not already have a contractor in mind, you should look for a designer that has their own team.
The Education And Experience Of The Designer
When you contact the designers on your shortlist, you need to ask them about their experience and education. The designer should have a portfolio that you are able to look at to see if their designs match your tastes and style. The more experience a designer has the better it will be for your garden. However, newer designers might be more willing to listen to what you have to say as they are not set in their ways.
Licensing And Bonding
Any potential designer that you hire needs to be licensed by your local landscape contractors board. They also need to carry the correct bonding for the job that you want done. It is important to note that there are several levels of licensing and not all of them will work for your project. If the designer and contractor that you are talking to are not licensed and bonded, you should not use them.

The Land That Time Forgot
Paid a visit to the beautiful land of Oregon USA very recently to scout around for an upcoming project and fell in love with it all over again. Desert, redwoods, craggy surf-pounded coast, moss covered trees, and flowers growing out of rocks. What’s not to love?

We Want Your Ideas!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas for the MAPS 4 Parks Programming for Neighborhood and Community Master Plan Development. The City of Oklahoma City has engaged Kimley-Horn to prioritize the current and future opportunities of each of the 105 neighborhood and community parks based on community input, current conditions, accessibility, and potential expansion needs. Visit okc.gov/maps4 to learn more about this and other MAPS 4 projects.
In addition to upgrades to the 105 municipal neighborhood and community parks previously mentioned, several specific park improvements projects are included in the MAPS 4 Resolution to further expand the transformative effect of the Parks project. In addition to increasing the number of community gardens and outdoor basketball and pickleball courts across the City, the project will also provide for renovations at Booker T. Washington Park, improvements at Minnis Lakeview Park, and enhancements at Northeast Park. Please see below for opportunities to engage in these parks.
The survey is currently closed. Please use the link below to review comments on your park.


A healthy shoreline is one in which native trees and plants — both aquatic and near-the-shore — provide an environment supporting a diverse community of fish and wildlife such as birds and butterflies. Native vegetation is critical to water quality because it slows and filters water runoff, as it flows toward lakes and streams. Shorelines with a diverse mix of native plants extending inland as well as offshore of the bank are more resilient to wave and ice erosion.
Good shoreland management requires the protection of vegetation in shore impact zones, steep slopes and bluff areas. Consider the benefits:
Photographic footage and analysis of an ESLA-commissioned 2021 drone survey of Elk and Skegemog lakes and the Torch River has helped our non-profit develop program and educational strategies to improve our greenbelts and buffer zones. We communicated in newsletters and emails the importance of maintaining or developing a native plant buffer of 10’ to 25’ from the water’s edge. While some riparians believe mowed grass lawns to the shoreline are effective, research is clear that short-rooted grasses don’t provide nearly the benefits of deep-rooted native plants and trees. ESLA also encourages riparians to take the Michigan Shorelines Stewards Program Survey. It’s a simple way to see how your shoreline stacks up against the ideal. Click the link to take the survey: https://www.mishorelandstewards.org/rate.asp
In 2022, ESLA began offering consultations to its dues-paying members who express interest in improving their shorelines. Consultations may be scheduled by contacting ESLA at Elkskegemog@gmail.com.
In 2023, ESLA hosted its first Greenbelt Workshop. The workshop was led by ESLA’s Lake Biologist Samantha Ogle. In addition to explaining the basics and definitions of buffer zones, four local professionals discussed strategies and took questions on the critical areas between the water and lawns. Many informational booklets were available as hand-outs. The workshop was videotaped and is available on ESLA’s YouTube channel, along with videos on many other issues. Like the personal consultations, greenbelt workshops will be offered every summer. The best way to learn when and where future workshops will be held is to make sure you get ESLA’s email blasts. Send an email to ElkSkegemogLakes@gmail.com to be added to our list.

Since it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to add more width to your small backyard your only choice for creating the illusion of having more space is to go upwards. Vertical landscaping will encourage the eye to take height into account when viewing the yard and will make it feel more spacious. Make sure to use a variety of plants at varying heights to capitalize on the amount of visual interest you’re bringing to the space. Include tall plants like shady trees stoic perennials and sprawling ivy but you can also throw shorter plants into the mix by stacking them up in graduated planters or flower beds.
Create a formal conversation area as your living room’s centerpiece to warm up the space and make it a place that you will enjoy entertaining guests. Use four armchairs arranged around a light glass coffee table and add some delicate décor such as a vase or a stack of coffee table books. To create a rich warm ambiance use large comfortable leather arm chairs and place a wood table between them. If you’d like to create even more seating try arranging two different sets of arm chairs on opposite ends of a long coffee table and then situating a sofa along the length of the coffee table.

Waterfall Countertop EdgeDate: November 12, 2018
Peter Jacobson, President of Lake Country Builders describes the trending waterfall edge at a recently completed lower level project on Medicine Lake, MN. This project features Cambria countertops and the waterfall edge is a perfect touch to complete this contemporary look. Waterfall edges got their name because, countertop materials “flow” right over the side edges, creating a vertical expanse of material straight down to the floor. Cambria is ideal for waterfall edges because it is a super-strong, fissure and pore-free material and is not prone to cracking. We love the look of this lower level bar and the waterfall edge detail is one of the many highlights to this extraordinary project!

The story behind the Queen’s Palace interior design
The Queen’s palace, located on Buckingham Palace Road, was a major landmark in the early 19th century, a place of immense wealth and power for both the monarchy and the nation.
It was built on the site of the old palace in 1885, the year before the first queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne.
The Queen’s garden was designed by architect Charles Babbage, who used the same techniques used to design the White House and the Whitehall Palace.
The design for the garden was a collaboration between Babbage and his wife, Lady Margaret Beaufort.
Queen Elizabeth II has visited the gardens on many occasions, including during her coronation in 2017, and she has also spent many hours walking around the gardens.
In her book The Princess and the Princess, the former Queen wrote that the garden is “the most beautiful place in the world” and “the only place on earth that is full of flowers.”
She also said the garden has “a wonderful, deep sense of history” and that it “gives an insight into the lives of ordinary people.”
The garden also hosts the Queen and her family, as well as other royals, and is home to the Queen of England’s official portrait, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Outdoor LED lighting must also enhance the aesthetics besides offering clear visibility. Unlike the past, wherein lights were meant only for bright surroundings, the present lighting methods offer a beautiful appearance to the building and the premises. Exploring LED technology has been the turning point in this sector.

Diamond Lights has been fortunate to serve clients from diverse sectors by providing tailored lights. Residential enclaves, individual homes, commercial centers, and businesses have been choosing us as their trusted LED light suppliers in Dubai.

1. Down-lighting in a methodical way
The first tip we would like to give is the use of different types of outdoor lighting. Avoid picking the same lights for different spaces. Boosting the looks of different segments of the outdoor area would necessitate specific lighting types. With several design patterns available from the large LED light suppliers in Dubai, you can assess and pick the right ones.
Down lighting at the right spots can brighten the area, in addition to giving it an elegant appeal. A new way of lighting called “moonlighting” can also be considered for outdoor LED lighting. The soft lighting would not cause strain to the eyes and would be cool.
2. Path Lighting is simple but aesthetically superb!
Check out any LED light suppliers in UAE, you will find that path lighting is the most common choice for outdoor LED lighting. The lights can be placed on either side of the garden steps and walkways. They would give a clear view of the path, as well as, create an aura of elegance.
The lights would boost the look and beauty of the plants and flowers. Selecting the ideal lights would be important. You need to ascertain and confirm whether you need warm or bright outdoor LED lighting. Mixing both may not be correct for some types of landscape settings. Nonetheless, it is your choice. You can also seek advice from experts at the LED light supplier in Dubai you choose.
3. Tread Lighting to outline the steps
Tread lightings are narrow strips of LED lights that are fixed on the steps. The steps would be clearly visible with the strip lights installed. It also gives the steps a floating feel, which would appear great. Tread lighting has become a common outdoor LED lighting choice.
The color, design, and thickness of the tread lighting might be the same as that of stairs or steps. Multiple color options are available with the top LED light suppliers in Dubai like Diamond Lights.
4. Hardscape lighting for improving the looks of the walls
This type of outdoor LED lighting is installed on the walls and other hard surfaces. Specific types of lights are used for hardscape lighting. The quality and durability of the lights must be confirmed prior to installing them. To avoid the requirement of frequent replacements.

Made in the shade. That’s how Wasatch Back Trees, now ReLEAF UTAH, came into being. Founder Jason Barto stood in the baking hot sun at Kamas Fiesta Days, in 2006, and felt just how much the city park needed trees. In 2012, he funneled his passion into a nonprofit dedicated to tree awareness and tree health. Tree planting and maintenance projects by the Kamas Valley Lions Club helped launch the first work of Wasatch Back Trees.
Since 2007, Barto has overseen plantings at two schools, seven parks and at the Varga Arboretum, a component of Utah Botanical Gardens.
He has written the shade tree protection ordinances for two cities which was the foundation for Tree City USA recognition.
In 2012, Barto received the Forest Stewardship Achievement Award from the Division of Forestry Fire and State Lands (FFSL).
In 2014, he advised a project for two eagle scout candidates. With successful Summit County RAP Recreation and FFSL Community Forestry Partnership Grant proposals,they planted 34 trees and made numerous other tree care improvements at Francis City Park. The eagle scout candidates were awarded the Utah Community Forestry Council’s Citizen Forester of the Year.
He also advised the Wasatch High School Envirothon team which took state in 2015 and went on to do well at nationals. They were recognized by the UCFC as Citizen Foresters of the Year.
To show its thanks, Summit County declared February 10th, 2016 as Jason Barto Day. Jason’s motto: Trees are the answer.
Barto serves as board chairman for the UCFC. His favorite trees are the Burr Oak and the Japanese Tree Lilac.
In 2017, Wasatch Back Trees decided to grow its boundaries to reach outside of the Wasatch Back. With this growth came a name change to ReLEAF UTAH in order to better exemplify our services. Around the same time, the board of Uinta Headwaters RC&D Council (our fiscal sponsor) decided that it was in their best interest as well to merge into ReLEAF UTAH.
Jason honors Pepper Provenzano, Jeff Ward, Dana Karcher, Kelly Washburn, Meridith Perkins, Andy Hillman, Walt Warriner, Steve Shultz, Owen Croi, and Paul Ries, who have inspired ReLEAF UTAH to become what we are today.
ReLEAF UTAH supports local Arbor Day celebrations and the celebration of Neighborwoods month in October with Love Your Trees and Community Tree Planting projects. We applaud Park City, Francis, Coalville as Tree City USA members.
Love of trees inspires all of the work we do at ReLEAF UTAH.
We hope you will come play with us!

The existing Peace Bridge is visually appealing. It’s not drop dead OMG gorgeous or anything like that, but still great to look at. The bridge opened in 1927 and was designed by designed by Edward P. Lupfer of Buffalo. It’s here. It’s not going anywhere. But did you ever wonder what could have been?
Dana Saylor, a local historian, artist, and preservationist, posted a photo of an alternate design for the Peace Bridge on Instagram. I never really thought about if there was ever any different plans for the bridge. Apparently, there were. And what you see below was one of them. It’s absolutely stunning.
With renewed talk of the need for a companion span, I thought it was a timely find.

LONDON (Reuters) – A favourite spot of the late Princess Diana, the Sunken Garden at her former London home Kensington Palace has been redesigned to house a statue in her honour to be unveiled on Thursday by her sons, Princes William and Harry.
The palace said the garden had been redesigned to create a “more reflective” setting for the memorial to the princess, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
“This has been a very special project to work on, as the Sunken Garden was a favourite place of Diana, Princess of Wales,” Pip Morrison, who designed the new layout, said in a statement.
“We have worked carefully to ensure that the new layout and planting scheme compliments the statue, providing a calming place for people who visit Kensington Palace to remember the princess.”
Work on the Sunken Garden started in 2019 and has taken 1000 hours of planting, involving more than 4000 of Diana’s favourite flowers including 100 forget-me-nots and 300 tulips.
The garden was originally created in 1908 at the instigation of King Edward VII in an area previously occupied by potting sheds and greenhouses.

Everyone wants to make his house and backyard look attractive and amazing, but the trends and designs keep on changing. So, it is crucial to make some crucial changes after some time.
Garden is an integral part of the house, and making some changes in the design of the garden and adding new features is known as landscaping.
Landscaping is a challenging task, especially if you are trying it for the first time and don’t have much knowledge about it. If you want to make your garden look like Sydney landscapes, then you can do it easily by following specific tips.
Some of the best beginners’ landscaping tips are as follows.
Know your needs and requirements
- The first thing you need to do while landscaping is making a list of all your needs and requirements.
- Some people want to grow vegetation, whereas some want to add space for recreational purposes.
- So, if you are clear about your needs and requirements, then you can formulate a plan accordingly and get better ideas.
Pick the right location
- There are numerous things that you can add for landscaping such as a patio, fire pit, etc.
- So, you must select the right location for a particular thing.
- For instance, if you want to install a fire pit in your backyard, then you must choose a location where the winds are the weakest.
- In the same way, if you want to add some sitting arrangements, then you must keep the amount of shade and sunlight in mind.
Start with small changes
- Landscaping is an effort-consuming task, and you cannot do it in a single day.
- So, you must begin by making some small changes and gradually shift to bigger adjustments and changes.
- Spend a few hours every day to reach your final design.

Austin Smith Sanctuary
261 Rock Harbor Road
This 8.5 acre sanctuary is located in both Orleans and Eastham and is a portion an estate that had been in the donor’s family for over 350 years. Both parcels are in the Boat Meadow Creek vicinity and provide salt marsh habitat for wildlife, including a red maple swamp. The Orleans parcel is directly adjacent to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, the Town of Orleans picnic area and park, and 20 acres of Eastham conservation land. It also abuts a 16-acre property where a home once owned by the donor’s family is located. The sanctuary is named in memory of the donor’s family members who spent many hours at the Arnold Arboretum creating a very special landscape plan for this property and supervised the installation of every tree and ornamental shrub, creating a natural haven for birds and mammals.


A great driveway adds to the overall look of your home. It is also essential to your vehicle’s performance and safety. Many different types of materials can be used for driveway paving. Some of the most popular are concrete, asphalt and gravel. Some of these are more durable than others.
Driveway Paving Charleston SC offers many benefits, including durability. It’s a great choice for traffic and weather conditions, requires minimal maintenance, and gives your property a great first impression. It is also an eco-friendly option that helps reduce runoff water pollution. Whether you’re looking for a simple or complex design, pavers are available in various colors, shapes, and sizes to suit any style.
Concrete is a popular choice for driveways, but it can crack over time due to the freeze-thaw cycle and the weight of vehicles. On the other hand, Pavers are much more resistant to cracking and can withstand the same amount of traffic as a poured concrete driveway. In addition, they’re easier to repair than a concrete driveway when damaged.
Asphalt is another economical and durable option for your driveway. It is a mix of sand, rock, and asphalt cement, and it can last 12 to 20 years. It is easy to plow snow, handles freeze-thaw cycles well, and offers excellent traction.
Brick is another popular option for a driveway, and it is often used for patios and walkways as well. It can withstand the same traffic and weather as concrete, but it can crack over time. It is best suited for climates that are not too hot or too cold.
Interlocking pavers are a more environmentally friendly option than standard concrete. They allow rainwater to soak into the ground rather than running off into drains with car oils and other pollutants. They can also be laid in a permeable pattern to make your driveway greener and more beautiful.
When choosing a driveway material, it’s important to consider both the initial costs and long-term value. The type of vehicle traffic and the climate you live in will influence which material is best suited to your needs. It’s also a good idea to consider the maintenance and upkeep costs of each material. For example, brick is expensive upfront but may not need to be resealed every two years like a poured concrete driveway. On the other hand, asphalt is affordable and durable, but it may need to be resealed annually.
Regardless of the type of driveway paving you choose, you’ll need to perform routine maintenance. Different types of paving materials have different needs. Some are more susceptible to general wear and tear than others. Some may require specific preventive maintenance solutions to help them last longer and look great.
Asphalt is generally the cheapest option when it comes to paving your driveway. It costs on average between $3 and $15 per square foot, compared to concrete that can cost up to $30 per square foot. The price difference largely depends on the material and installation requirements. Add-ons, such as unique designs or excavation, will also increase the total cost of your project.
An asphalt driveway should be regularly cleaned with a stiff broom and a strong hose spray. Weeds should be pulled and removed as soon as they appear, and any cracks or fissures should be filled as they appear. You should plow or shovel your driveway carefully to avoid scraping the surface. It is best to use a plastic shovel instead of steel to prevent damaging the paving.
If your asphalt driveway is showing signs of age, such as cracks or holes, you can fill them with silica sand or polymer sealer. These products will not only repair the damage but also protect it from further deterioration.
During your visual inspection, make sure you note where each hairline fracture is occurring and fill them to prevent them from expanding. If the damage is beyond your repairs abilities, you can hire a professional to resurface or patch your driveway.
Other common problems include rust stains and lichens. These can be treated with proprietary products available at most hardware stores. Lichens, in particular, can be difficult to remove as they are embedded deep within the paving blocks. Vigorous scrubbing can scratch the block surface and leave permanent marks that cannot be shifted. Lichens can be killed with a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid, although this is dangerous for personal use and should only be used by professionals. You can also use a commercial weed killer.
When designing your new driveway, consider incorporating a herringbone or ashlar pattern. These patterns offer the best interlock and will help to prevent pavers from shifting, especially in high traffic areas. They also look more elegant than a standard running bond or basketweave layout. If you live in a rainier area, you may need to install drains at strategic locations to prevent water pooling.
Another important aspect to consider is the color of your pavers. Choosing a color that matches your home and complements the colors of other hardscapes in your yard will create a cohesive look. You can also choose to use contrasting colors or even multiple colors to add visual interest to your driveway.
Paver driveways allow you to create a focal point in your driveway. This can be a great way to make your driveway stand out from the rest of the neighborhood. Focal points can be created using different pattern embellishments, such as circle kits that create a classic round design or Romanesque fan shape for a more contemporary look.
Borders and bands are also popular design ideas for paver driveways. These can be created with a variety of materials, including differently textured pavers and pavers that are arranged at varying angles. Another option is to create a border or band with pavers that are a different size from the rest of the driveway. This will draw attention to specific elements of the driveway, such as a unique design element or a feature tree.
You can also create a unique texture and color combination for your borders or bands by using a paver that is a different material than the rest of the driveway. For example, you could use a cobblestone-style paver for a border to contrast with the smooth concrete of your driveway. This can create a more natural and organic look for your driveway, which will enhance the overall aesthetic of your yard.
A paver driveway is a great alternative to a poured asphalt driveway because it offers more design flexibility and durability. It can also be repaired more easily and will last longer than an asphalt driveway. If you are interested in installing a paver driveway, it is important to consult with a professional to ensure that the design will meet your needs.
Paver driveways are a great way to add curb appeal to your home and increase its value. They’re also a more environmentally friendly option than concrete, because they use less oil and gas to produce. Additionally, they’re easier to repair and maintain than traditional asphalt driveways. When installing a paver driveway, a paving contractor will first prepare the site by removing any existing surface materials. They will then level and grade the site, and lay down a base layer made of crushed rock or gravel. After the base is installed, a layer of asphalt is applied and rolled into place. Finally, the edges of the driveway are sealed and trimmed to create a smooth finish.
Pavers can be made of different materials, including concrete, clay, and natural stone. They all have their own benefits and come in a range of prices. Choosing the right material for your driveway will depend on how often it will be used and what type of weather is typical in your area. The best choice is a high quality, durable paved surface that will stand up to the elements and traffic for many years to come.
If you want to install a paver driveway yourself, it is important to lay down a foundation or sub-base before you start laying the stones. This will help keep the pavers in place and prevent them from shifting or cracking over time. Ideally, the base should be approximately 11 inches thick and should be compacted. It’s also important to use a joint sand to fill the joints between each paver, which will enhance stability and provide a beautiful, finished look.
Using pavers to make your driveway is an environmentally friendly choice, because it uses less oil and gas than concrete and lasts for longer than asphalt. They are also more flexible than concrete, which helps them resist cracking. In addition, pavers are easy to repair and replace. If one paver becomes damaged, you can simply pull it up and lay down a new one. This is much quicker and cheaper than repairing or replacing an entire driveway.

Community Environmental Toolkit invented
Wiltshire Council and Natural England have created the Wiltshire Environmental Toolkit, (WET) which gives community groups, and town and parish councils, helpful advice to create and improve habitats and the natural environment in their area.
The toolkit is packed with information, ideas and resources to enable communities to create habitats rich in biodiversity. This in turn will create leisure opportunities and encourage visitors to the area, as well as help to fight climate change.
The toolkit features a five-step guide that could help communities find grant funding and deliver projects.
Cllr Nick Botterill (Con), Cabinet Member for Climate Change, said: "The Wiltshire Community Environmental Toolkit is a really useful document that enables local communities to plan, design and implement environmental projects that will improve biodiversity and help to fight against climate change."
Charles Routh, Natural England team leader for Wiltshire, said: "More and more people want to do good things for their local environment, and this toolkit should really help to catalyse action and support this groundswell in community interest. This is great initiative by Wiltshire Council."
To find out more people should download the Wiltshire Community Environmental Toolkit, or contact the Landscape and Design team via email@example.com. Hard copies of the toolkit will also be available to view at Wiltshire libraries from 25 October.


Most of the waterways are brackish, a mix of fresh and salty water from the River Stour estuary fed in to the reserve by a sluice gate. When managing water levels it is aimed to hold as much fresh rain water as possible and limit the amount of brackish water introduced. This keeps the salt content lower allowing more species of water life to live in the ditches, lake and ponds. GET INVOLVED
Reedbeds are another important feature of the wetland habitats. Most of these are small areas, or verges at the edges of ditches. The largest area of reedbed on the reserve runs a long the edge of the River Stour, an area which is secluded to provide undisturbed nesting and roosting sites.
These areas are planned to undergo extensive improvements over the next 3-5 years as soon as funds can be raised. Clearing silt from waterways, improving water management, clearing scrub and improving the variety of plant life and habitats.

You begin to forget all of the worries on your mind. Your imagination takes you away from it all and your own backyard becomes your escape.
Waterfall Construction Techniques
The first technique would be with the use of natural Boulders that are indigenous to your area. The boulders are hauled in on trucks, most rocks will fit into a tri-axle truck. Some of the larger Boulders can be hauled with the use of heavy equipment trailers. On occasion our boulders have been hauled in one at a time and require permits to haul. Whatever size boulders the project requires we have the means of accommodating.
Once the boulders arrive on the site they are placed in a staging area and assorted. The rocks are then carefully stacked to create natural looking out croppings rather than perfectly stacked layered walls that resemble brick. Our natural boulder walls are not only esthetically pleasing from a natural aspect but they are also structurally sound as well.
A second technique for construction is with the use of structural hand carved concrete boulders.
This method is often used in conjunction with the natural boulders to create water tight vessels to move the water throughout the water feature. The Carved concrete boulders are built in the same manner as our concrete pools. We excavate the site and install concrete footings and plumbing. The rock shapes are then constructed using steel re-enforcement cages. Once the rock shapes are in place, we apply the concrete pneumatically or by hand. The boulders are then hand shaped and carved while the concrete is still wet. Once the boulders have cured, they are hand stained to give the appearance of the natural stone.
The waterfalls can be constructed to imitate a babbling brook or you may want a sheer decent or even a canyon wash effect. Whatever look or preference that you may have, search the internet for any type of natural rock, waterfall or tree that you catches your eye. We can design and build to suit your needs, there is nothing that we cannot do with concrete.
Sheer Rock Cliffs
Another Option for a Pool Waterfall would be our Sheer Rock Cliffs. Our project history is full of sheer rock cliffs that are riddled with lush landscape pockets and any amount of flowing water that you would like. Our rock cliffs are constructed from either Natural Boulders or from our Hand Carved Faux Rock. Water flow rates vary from 100 gallons per minute to 5000 gallons per minute. The cliffs can be constructed on our ponds or pools. The Faux Rock Carving can stop at the waters edge or they can continue on to the bottom of the pool floor.
Hot Tub Waterfalls or Spill Overs have been a popular attraction for adding moving water to pools for years. We have taken this concept a bit further with our Faux Rock Carving and Hot Tub Features. Our Overflows can flow out of the Hot Tub and Into the pool, or it can flow into the hot tub with heated water as the picture below shows.
A great way to add excitement to your backyard garden. They can be Built on one of our ponds or on your existing pond. The waterfalls naturally oxygenate the water so that you may add Fish or specialty water plants to your Creation to help maintain and enhance the beauty.
Naturalistic Streams, Waterfalls, Concrete Pond, Gunite Ponds or Fiberglass Ponds
We can create a self supporting habitat, complete with bogs, biological filters and UV lighting. Essentially creating a crystal clear outdoor aquarium.


Happy Hollow Gardens in the spring is truly magical!
The garden entrance is completely covered with pink, fuchsia, and white azaleas, and it makes for an amazing backdrop for pictures.
The Armstrong Family took full advantage of the blooms for their updated family photos. We also walked down the trail a little to the little bridge and barn to snap a few more images. This park has so many gems!


How to Prepare Your Yard for Fall
Maybe you have a yard just outside of your house, and if this is so, you might feel that it is the loveliest part of your property, and love the beautiful greens, the tall trees, and the colorful bloom of the flowers. However, taking care of a garden can oftentimes be tough, and require skill and knowledge on how to do it in the best way. If fall is coming, for instance, you need to take special care of your garden, as this season, although it certainly is very beautiful, can also be very complex. Here, then, is a list of tips that you can take if you want to be sure that you are doing your best for your yard during the last of the summer season, and preparing it for the coming fall.
If one has a yard that he or she wishes to prepare for the fall, one thing that he or she should do is to give the plants a good trimming. It can rain a lot in the summer, and since the weather is bright, warm, and healthy, with a lot of sun and water, plants can grow with great speed, making them look unruly and unkempt. If you want to enter the fall weather with a garden that is pretty and neat, then, it is a good idea for you to take some time to go around it and do some trimming.
Another thing that people should do if they want to take care of their yards and prepare them for fall is to make sure to have their surroundings cleaned and brightened. For instance, if you notice bad staining on your walls, it is a good idea for you to get them removed through pressure washing, which is really powerful in getting rid of stains. One will be surprised to see how much difference the removal of stains on garden walls and the exterior of the house can make – this difference will really transform the yard greatly.
If you want your garden to look different when the new year comes, another thing that you should do is to start planning the changes you want to see right now, as this will really help you to improve it. Once fall comes, you can even choose the shrubs you want to add, and plant their roots into your soil – once spring comes, you will be amazed to see how lovely everything is, and how your garden is running riotously with color.

While most people think about erosion happening on a grand scale, erosion can also take place within your own property. And when this happens, you can experience all kinds of issues with your home’s foundation and with the landscaping of your property. While these problems can be small and easily fixed, they could also be very costly and cause a lot of damage.
So to help ensure that big issues with erosion don’t take place at your house, here are three ways to stop erosion from happening on your property.
Properly Direct Debris Flows
Depending on where you live, what kind of land your home is built on, and how things like irrigation have been dealt with in the past, you might be dealing with a big possibility of erosion or just minor erosion. But either way, knowing how to properly direct the flow of debris around your property is vital.
First of all, you’ll want to look at where and how water flows around your property. If water is frequently pooled up around your home, you’ll want to divert this water so that it moves away from your property. This will help to protect your home and its foundation. Additionally, if you live in an area with frequent winds, you’ll want to make sure that any place where debris could come through is clear of obstacles or hindrances.
Use The Right Landscaping
The landscaping that you have throughout your property can also play a role in how common or uncommon erosion will be.
If there are areas of your property that you’re worried about having erosion take place, planting grass there could be a great solution. Grass can serve to hold soil in place and keep it from eroding. Along with this option, you could also plant trees with larger root systems, lay down some rocks or gravel, or use other hardscaping options to keep the ground stable and secure.
Build Structures To Break Up The Slope
In circumstances where you have property that has a lot of sloping, erosion is something that you’ll have to be concerned about. So if you’re not wanting any movement or erosion to take place, one thing you can do to ensure this is to build structures that will help to break up the slope.
Things like terraces or retaining walls can work great for breaking up a steep slope and keeping it from experiencing a lot of erosion. These things can also help to redirect water down a slope if you’re having trouble with that.
If you’re worried about soil and other debris eroding on your property, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you learn how you can keep this from happening.

The rise in the use of Garden Sleepers.
In recent years, gardening and landscaping which have traditionally included the use of re-used and reconditioned Railway Sleepers has recently changed. This is because there are now more options available that come in the form of New Treated Softwood Railway Sleepers and New Oak Railway Sleepers.
Garden Sleepers or Railway Sleepers give an outside space something different, they are unique whilst looking clean cut with an excellent level of versatility. Giving outside space character is simple with Railway Sleepers and they have a number of different uses, they suit many different types of gardens with the ability to transform the environment in which they are placed with the added advantage they are hard wearing and durable making them a long term investment that constantly delivers.
Choosing the correct type of sleeper for your garden is vital and now gardeners and landscapers now have more options available than the traditional Railway Sleepers, which are no longer the popular option because they only come in one size and they have to be handled with gloves as they are treated with creosote which can leak but it also makes them less versatile.
The new treated softwood railway sleepers offer a sleek and modern finish for any project whilst also maintaining that traditional look. They are more versatile than reclaimed timbers as they can be given a number of different finishes or they can be left bare to give a contemporary look. These are pressure treated as standard which makes them extremely durable and insect resistant, and they do not leak tar or creosotes in the way that traditional sleepers did, which means they can be used in ponds or places where they are frequently in contact with organic materials.
These sleepers come in many sizes and lengths ranging from 250mm x 125mm x 2.4m / 2.6m / 3.0m / 3.6m / 4.8m / 6.0m and 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m / 3.0m / 3.6m / 4.8m / 6.0m.
Although you will find many Timber Merchants are able to cut some sleepers to size please check with your supplier before you purchase.
Another option available is New Oak Railway Sleepers and these offer a similar level of versatility and durability as New Treated Softwood Railway Sleepers but because they are a hardwood the timber is more impact resistant and will last longer. They are more rugged looking as they are cut straight from the tree and this adds to the ‘natural’ look and feel.
They too, can come treated or untreated and because they do not contain tar or creosotes they are very usable. They also come in a number of different sizes and lengths that range from 250mm x 125mm x 2.4m, 220mm x 130mm x 2.4m, 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m, 200mm x 100mm x 2.6m so they also fit the domestic, landscaping and construction markets.
These new styles of sleepers are easier to work with as they are lighter and simple to cut and this makes them perfect for a number of uses.
For all landscaping and garden projects, Railway Sleepers are ideal for creating raised flower beds and lawn boundaries giving any garden or outside space the wow factor. The added advantage of the feel of natural organic bordering as opposed to man-made brick and mortar give any landscaping project whether large or small a more natural feel.
Due to their safety, and long term durability they can be used to create ponds and they are increasingly being used to build retaining walls because of their solid features.

Creamy white smoothness paralleled with rich grey, earthy veins create a regal look that will impress even the most discerning of guests. One major advantage of choosing porcelain over natural marble is its longevity and durability with regards to wear and staining. Porcelain is stain-resistant and is very easy to clean and maintain. Porcelain is naturally stain resistant, and even more so when glazed. Since it’s less porous than other materials, porcelain is easy to wipe off and keep clean. Porcelain pavers can perform better than most paving options when it comes to moisture exposure. Porcelain is an ideal option as it is denser and less porous making moisture almost impossible to seep through.

As part of their Big Climate Fightback, the Woodland Trust are giving away trees to school and community groups so everybody in the UK has the chance to plant a tree.
This could be an excellent opportunity for units to get involved with some community planting. There are a variety of different sized packs available, from a pack of 15 saplings for residential areas with limited communal space, to up to 420 to create different types of woodland.
Applications are being accepted now for their next batch of trees, which would be delivered in November, for planting between then and March. More information can be found on the Woodland Trust website:

Having already worked with this client before, they knew our level of commitment and our distinguished work ethics, our admirable support and the output we give. Hence, they approached us again to upgrade their old website as it was static and non-responsive. Our goal was to get them to the modern standards and also design something that was quick, easy to use and will generate more business. We worked on this project with our partners White-space who came up with this creative design concept and our designers and programmers turned this in to reality.
The site was created in HTML5 and right from concept design to actual implementation it took us around 6 weeks to complete the site and test it. As we had to work on a already designed concept we had to make sure that not only our client, but also our design partner were happy with the overall transition. Our exceedingly specialized team built up some extraordinary elements of the site which are as mentioned below:
The client was extremely satisfied with the work we delivered and appreciated our keen efforts for portraying the beautiful website. Please let us know what you think, by reaching us on firstname.lastname@example.org.
