In the busy landscape and schedules of today’s modern world, it’s fair to say that more and more homeowners are turning away from a grass lawn garden and taking up the option of paving instead. Paving offers an easy to maintain, stress-free alternative for a home’s outdoor recreation space, and compared to the drab, grey slabs of your childhood, paving has entered in to a new era of interesting and stylish ideas in the last few years. Contemporary paving is something that can not only bring a lot of style and ease to a homeowners life, but it can also have the effect of raising a property’s value. Here are some of the best contemporary paving trends for 2019.
- Large Format Paving
When you find a good quality natural stone supplier, you will find that one of the most popular paving trends this year is large format paving stones. The larger surface area of each stone makes for a more appealing, less regimented finished product. We are no longer forced to settle for the generic single sized paving that you might have seen in every patio garden a few generations ago.
- Asymmetrical Paving
If you want to go that one step further in breaking from the old norms, then asymmetrical stones are a great way to go. A mixture of large and small stones, as well as placing them in opposing directions in terms of horizontal and vertical can make for a really interesting and innovative final look. Asymmetry is a big nod to the fantastic art deco designs of the 1920s, and with the 2020s just around the corner, what better time to bring that trend back!?
- Gravel and Pebbles
There is something about paving an entire garden space with slabs that looks and feels a little bit prison yard sometimes, but a fantastic way to break this up and create a more visually appealing space is to work in areas for gravel and pebbles. Having these pockets of texture and different aesthetic can break up the symmetry of the paving in your garden and make everything seem much more homely and less regimented.
Something that is very popular this year is the project of creating paving that can transition fluidly from the outside to the inside. Natural stone can be a fantastic choice for a kitchen area, and if you have doors that lead straight out to a patio space, you have the opportunity to create a seamless connection that suits both the interior and exterior.

Beginning in 2019, the CGW Board of Directors has nominated 3 to 4 proven annual plant varieties for the Plants of the Year voting coordinated by the Wisconsin Nursery & Landscape Association (WNLA). The winner is traditionally decided at the WNLA's 'Spring Startup' event which is held every year in late winter/early spring. Attendees cast their votes for Annual of the Year, Herbaceous Perennial of the Year, and Woody Ornamental (Tree) of the Year. Below is the list of winners for the 'Annual' category:
2021 Annual of the Year: Lantana camara 'Hot Blooded Red'
Sun: Full Sun
Lantana camara ‘Hot Blooded Red’ A compact shrub with a dense mound of green foliage that produces a non-stop show of red hot flower clusters throughout the heat of summer. The sterile blooms allow it to focus its energy on prolific blooming, making it a superb choice for containers, mass plantings, and borders. Evergreen in warm, frost-free climates; treat as a summer annual elsewhere.
2020 Annual of the Year: Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips'
Zone: 7 to 10
Sun: Full Sun
Hot Lips Littleleaf Sage (Salvia microphylla ‘Hot Lips’) has distinctive, brilliantly colored flowers that make ‘Hot Lips’ Salvia a special selection. Blooming from spring until hard frost in fall, the flower color will vary seasonally. In the cooler times of spring and fall, the flowers are strongly bi-colored red and white. When it’s hot, the flowers go solid red. Regardless of the time of the growing season, this ever-blooming selection is a beauty. The plant makes a small shrub with age and thrives in poor soils with plenty of heat and sun. Plant with Lavender (Lavandula) and white Ap-pleblossom Grass (Gaura). Javelina resistant.


His works, created over the last 6 years, have a gorgeous geometric style to them. Each makes use of the clean, monotone coloration of sand, which through Seibert's talented hands transforms into something almost cement-like in appearance. The flat, perfectly formed surfaces contrast sharply with the rough crumbles of sand which surround them, making each temporal piece look almost like a gem which sprouted from the seaside. You can find more of his work - which would be well suited as inspiration for architects and designers - on Flickr. -Written by Benjamin Starr of Visual News.

APV MACHINERY OFFICIAL DEALERS FOR APV SEEDERS,WEEDERS AND GRASSLAND EQUIPMENT
This way your stock remains clean!
Break up soil encrustations and decimate unwanted weeds at the same time - made easy with APV products!
TINED WEEDER PRO *NEW*
Mechanical weed control is worthwhile
The Rotary Hoe (RH) - a weeder with rotating tines that can be turned up to 30 degrees in the direction of travel - suitable for mulch seeding. The rotating hoe rings bury or uproot the weeds, promote tillering of the crop, incorporate oxygen into the soil and break up hard soil crusts. Thanks to the rotating rings, the tines remain free of plant and soil material.
Better soil respiration
The tines of the Tined Weeder AS penetrate the soil while harrowing to a maximum depth of 2-3 cm to break up and crumble the upper soil crust. This ensures better soil aeration and the capillarity is interrupted.
The main focus is on combating unwanted weeds. While the tines sweep over the soil, the weeds, which are already in threads or germinating, are pulled out and deposited on the soil surface. There they wither and die off. This means that approximately 90 % of the weed germs are decimated
Development stages of weeds
When harrowing, the tines penetrate into the soil surface and primarily bury the weed seedlings. A loose and crumbly soil without crusting is particularly important for this. The smaller the weed seedlings, the more effective the harrowing.
The best efficacy is achieved when they are hardly visible yet, at a very early germination stage. Once the weeds have reached the 2 (to 4) leaf stage, harrowing is generally useless.

The Mount Carbine Tableland open forest has been transformed in the past few weeks from a dry parched landscape to a picture of lush new growth after the monsoonal rain. Species such as the perennial Native Rosella (Abelmoschus moschatus subsp. tuberosus) lies dormant in the dry seasonal and then emerges from its tuber during the wet season. The bush-tucker plant only flowers for one day. This paddock near Mount Molloy has been subjected to a hot late-season fire that has removed the weedy understory and now is a canvas of iridescent green new growth with splashes of the Rosella’s watermelon-pink hibiscus flowers.

Bosherston Lily Ponds
Bosherston lakes form part of nature reserve known as the Lily Ponds containing over 100 acres of lakes.
The history of the Bosherston Lakes dates back to around 1760 when the Campbells of Stackpole Court began to lay out a picturesque landscape around their fashionable Georgian mansion.
Sir John Campbell II dammed a river running through his estate to create three long, slender lakes, with a viewpoint over the lakes from the mansion. He also planted thousands of trees and laid out trails through the estate, using the landscape as a huge canvas to create a romantic landscape.
The Lily ponds are famous for their water lilies, during the month of June the water lilies carpet the water surface and the area is home to a huge population of dragonflies, wildfowl and resident otters. Bridges in the form of boardwalks extend over the lakes to allow access to see the lilies up close.
In 1797 an elegant bridge was built across one of the lakes to link the house and home farm with the deer park and Stackpole Quay. The 18th-century Eight Arch Bridge is one of the focal points of Bosherston Lakes, and trails lead from the site of Stackpole Court on one side to Stackpole Warren on the other.


The LA River is probably the last place most people want to spend their free time, or to show off to visiting guests. After all, the concrete basin looks less like a river and more like a giant curved parking lot. The city is hoping to change that, however, and new plans have been created to revitalize the river, with renowned architect Frank Gehry leading the charge.
You might not know its there, but the Los Angeles River stretches for 51 miles from Canoga Park to Long Beach, winding through the concrete aqueduct built over 100 years ago. Contained to reduce flooding, the iconic concrete basin has since been featured in a variety of films, from Grease to The Dark Knight Rises. For years, Los Angelenos have complained about the eyesore of the concrete structure and its lack of an ecosystem.
Gehry is one of the most polarizing architects in the modern world, with his striking designs receiving mixed reviews around the world. Some of his architectural wonders include the Guggenheim museum in Bilboa, Spain, 8 Spruce Street in New York City, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA. Born in Toronto, Gehry first came to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California. His architectural firm has been based in the city since the 1960s.
Gehry and his architectural team was brought on by River LA, the organization behind the revitalization, to create a “Master Plan” for the redesign of the LA River. As a long-time resident of LA, Gehry was instantly attracted to the project, and is currently working pro-bono. Gehry’s decision to join forces with River LA has been, like his other work, controversial. Many fear the possibility of new construction near the river, causing gentrification or displacement in a city already suffering a housing crisis.
According to the project’s website, however, the mission is to create a “Healthy River For All.” Gehry’s goal in the plan is to look at it like a water-reclamation project, and to deal with the water conservation issues first. “I think we’re wasting a lot of water at a time when we need it,” he said. The new design will include more space for wildlife, recreation, housing, as well as conserving water.
The proposal is split into nine categories – Flood Risk Management, Water Recharge, Water Quality, Greenhouse Gasses, Ecology & Habitat, Open Space & Parks, Public Health Social Equity, and Programming. None provide many detailed specifics, but there are certainly things to be excited about. The Water Recharge section describes a hope to capture more stormwater, decreasing the region’s reliance on imported water by as much as 14% per year. The Open Space and Parks tab describes creating 2,300 acres of new park space within a mile of the river.
The blueprint for the river created by Gehry’s team is already being utilized by other groups. This summer, a team from Gruen Associates has been selected to design a 12-mile stretch of the LA River greenway. The greenway design will include a bike path, pedestrian walkways and shading elements, as well as landscaped areas to support habitat and manage stormwater. The team will now take the next 9 months to complete a detailed feasibility study and hold public forums for community input and review.
Another plan, called Alternative 20, was just approved for an 11-mile stretch from Griffith Park to Downtown. The plan includes creation and reestablishment of freshwater marsh habitat to support wildlife, and enhance habitat connectivity. There will also be areas with parks and places where you can explore the revitalized river yourself! Alternative 20 is the most ambitious of all the plans considered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the revitalization of the river, and also has the highest budget. Work may begin immediately in areas where the city already owns the land, meaning in just a few months you may want to head down to the river yourself.
The revitalization of the LA River will not be an overnight face lift, but Frank Gehry’s vision should lead it in the right direction. Soon, residents will be able to see the river in its natural state, full of wildlife and plants, instead of just a dry concrete bed. The LA River as a tourist destination? You bet.


When it comes to selecting a good piece of land on which to keep your horse, there are several important factors to keep in mind. The safety of the area, its terrain, exposure levels and more should all be considered, and it’s also vital to think about the buffering of your paddock. A buffer is essentially an area of land which helps to protect your paddock by controlling the water runoff from the paddock. In times of high rainfall, mud will build up in your paddock and this needs to be managed before it becomes a hazard for the horse or others.
Buffers, also known as biofiltration strips, can be made from various types of plants, pasture or other forms of vegetation. They work to reduce the amount of runoff in your pasture by making use of it, absorbing the various nutrients it contains and preventing the mud from building up and flowing further into local bodies of water or ditches. Your buffer should be at least 10 to 25 feet in width, but this can vary greatly. It all depends on the size of your land, the type of soil in the area, the presence of local plant life and even the slope of the paddock. Some experts would recommend a buffer of at least 50 feet, and the size should be increased for fields on deep slopes or those with dense soils or a lack of vegetation. Overall, the wider you can make your buffer, the more effective it will be.
There are various types of grasses, plants and legumes you can use to create your buffer. A common example would be to simply plant trees along the border, making sure to prevent the horse from grazing here. The trees can even be thinned out after growing to a sufficient height and you can make use of the wood or sell it for a profit. You can also make use of simple grasses or native plants to suit the region, or various types of shrubs that can also be harvested. The type of plant life used for your buffer isn’t of great importance, as most lawns, trees and shrubs will all have the same effects, so it really depends on the size of your land and how much work you are able to put into managing the buffer.
Buffers offer several other benefits that cannot be underestimated. By helping to absorb muddy runoff and filter it of any impurities, they help to remove any dangerous chemicals and pesticides out of the water. They also act as barriers against soil erosion and even help to protect local wildlife by offering safe places in which various animals can eat and live. They can also help to make the area more attractive and offer a boost to the local ecosystem. Overall, buffers are incredibly helpful in a variety of ways, so it’s important to make use of them all around your paddocks.


Developed from an eroded sheep grazing property, Granite Gardens was first started as a private garden in the early 1990's. Granite gardens is privately owned and is floodlit at night. Pathways of bollard lighting, large gold and silver lights are situated under the Willows, Elms and Gum trees, adding another dimension to this superb garden.
ROSE GARDENS ~ BIRD LIFE ~ TRANQUILITY
For the connoisseur, the dominance of David Austin roses throughout the garden is evidence of its diversity and beauty. Borders of Catmint and other plantings such as Agapanthus, Camellias, Magnolias, Geranium, Succulents, Perennials and hundreds of Bulbs compliment this informal botanical marvel.
The bird life is just as plentiful; up to 60 identified species has been recorded in the garden. Silver perch has been stocked in the lake, which divides the cottages area and the main garden. Bamboo fishing poles are available for catch and release fishing during the summer months. The Fairy garden, Wishing well, Little bridges, Pathways and Water features are another attraction for young and old to discover.


There is a big difference between sitting under a shady tree and sitting under an umbrella on a hot and sunny day. It is so much cooler under the tree because it will absorb some some of the heat. The umbrella won’t. That is why a harder wood would be a better material than synthetic for the new boardwalk. A synthetic boardwalk is going to be hot. It’s not going to absorb heat.
Just another reason why The City of Long Beach should consider a new harder wood over a synthetic for the new boardwalk.

Being a style guru and trend-setter himself, we were honoured to be asked to help him create a combination of ‘cool modern aesthetics’ which would be practical and stand the test of time – ‘to look good in 20 years’ time not passé and dated’, as he said. The desired effect was one that was truly timeless and simple.
By drawing together the whole lower ground floor entertaining and socialising area, we achieved a feeling of one single large space, which would provide the client with the option both to extend parties in to the kitchen, and spill out in to the garden during the summer months. The back wall was replaced with large sliding glass doors to allow the eye to flow straight through to the bottom of the garden. A polished concrete floor, the colour of which is picked up on the outdoor tiles, emphasises this stunning effect.

Monday: Day 1's Construction
Monday morning marked the start on the tree house. Day 1's activities started off by looking over the detailed, well thought out plans the Ben created - followed by adapting the plans to the tree. We started by placing some lumber in the tree to get a visual idea of how the tree house way going to lay out. Before we knew it, we had our first beam in place and were setting the posts in place - which resembled raising the flag at Iwo Jima. As the day moved on, the shape of the deck began to take form and we soon had a visual of what was to come.
Check out all of the photos from Day 1's construction and progress here.


Embodied Site is a site-specific work that makes use of 3 locations in Point Pleasant Park. Each site will encompass twenty 1”x2”x8’ lumber staked into the ground for a period of 5 weeks. The pieces are planted with enough distance between each so that the viewer can engage with the piece. The work emphasizes the impact that the weather and environment has on untreated wood placed in the park for a predetermined amount of time. This work relates to the embodiment of the environment. At the end of the 5 weeks, the structures will change and become a witness to its surroundings and will relay the environmental impact to its viewer.

We recognize the park in southern Liverpool today as the historically shaped park of the old Toxteth Deer Park, until the land was bought by the Earl of Sefton from the City Council in the 1860s to create Sefton Park.
Sefton Park is one of the most popular public spaces in our city – but it has changed a lot in the 150 years since it was officially opened by the Earl of Sefton Park.
It was once home to a number of exotic birds, but it has fallen into a sad state of decay.
The park was officially opened to the public by His Royal Highness Prince Arthur on May 20, 1872.
The plans for the park were drawn up by the French landscape architect Édouard André and the Liverpool architect Lewis Hornblower, who won a design prize of 300 guineas in 1867.
An original design for the park included plans for a “Large Aviary”, which was to form the heart of a “bird park” area, directly opposite the cricket pitch.
At that time, aviaries were a popular attraction in the Victorian parks of Liverpool, and in its heyday the aviary was home to many exotic bird species, including parakeets, budgies, African Grey and Amazon parrots.
The design by André and Hornblower, which was created to match the November 1866 competition documents, showed the large aviary – but it was not actually introduced until 1901.
The aviary was a curved building with rustic rock arches in a large cage.
But as people traveled more and more and became more aware of animal welfare and conservation, the popularity of these aviaries began to wane.
In the second half of the 20th century the area began to fall into disrepair, leaving the grounds in a poor state of repair.
Mr. Grant wrote: “With so much money being spent on the renovation of the Palm House, visitors and tourists must pass by the aviary on their way. It looks like a very poor relative.
In an ECHO article published on August 27, 1997, Peter Grant writes that the “once beautiful attraction is now a grim eyesore and a monument to neglect”.
“The aviary, built in the 1870s, was a huge tourist attraction and a favorite on school trips. Before the war, the large number of bird species made the collection one of the most important in the north of England.

Are you thinking of landscaping your yard for the first time? It is normal to be confused on what you may use here. This is the right article for you. This article has top tips for use during landscaping. Planting new plants or refreshing the existing ones in your is not an issue here. These tips apply in any landscaping.
The first thing you have to do is make a sketch of what you will love to have. You may be wanting a small garden, playing ground for your children or a patio for your family. After that you can now move to the next thing.
The next thing you need to do is observe the wind and sun patterns. The importance of this is to assist you to locate where you will place your garden or your patio. For example you may place your garden at the lower part of your home then you find out later that less sun gets there. Or placing a patio on a side that is uncomfortable for relaxing. Avoid such simple mistakes.
Another idea is to stay at your yard so you can understand it well. You have to discover new things that you won't know at the first time of stay. You will do landscaping easily if you stay in it for a longer time. And this is important if you are planning to do long-term landscaping.
DO the placement of a focal point at your yard. This attracts the eyes of most people making them look through your garden. A good garden always has many focal points that help you to focus on the garden. A sculpture, beautiful trees and shrubs may be used as focal points.
Don't forget to pay attention on scaling and pacing. This is not always easy to first timers. You may see some differences on the size, color and shape. Play around with every element and see the outcome of each. You can repeat using some elements and see the result.
Try as much as possible to be flexible to changes when doing Kennesaw landscaping. Try to use what you like even if you strictly want a certain design. If you don't accept changes, you may come to realize that there was something you liked most that you ignored at first. Nobody loves feeling so. So please avoid them. Also be patient in landscaping. Being patient enables you to come up with so many ideas. Consider temporary ideas for you to be able to apply new ideas that may come up.
These ideas at http://nolimitlandscaping.com/ are so important for your landscaping. These are the best tips I can give to beginners too. I hope you gained a lot I wish you luck.

Place your largest baubles first in both colours.
Follow on by placing your large flowers after opening up and bending petals for a reslistic effect.
Place your smaller premium glass baubles across the tree balancing finishes effectively such as gloss, matt and gliter.
Slot in any visible gaps your "pom pom" style pink & red sprays, fanning them out slightly by bending the branches a little for a full effect.
Try to select a smaller red berry style spray for contrast next and add to the tree in the same way. Alternatively use the same "pom pom" style spray but balance colour well.
Add your pre constructed berry tree topper. Bend the branches slightly for a wider spread effect and feed through the branches at the top of the tree so it really nestles into the tree and looks more realistic.

Point San Pedro Road New Tree Survey Results and Action Plan
Representatives of the Point San Pedro Road Coalition, the Glenwood Homeowners’ Association and affected residents of Glenwood have been working with the San Rafael Public Works Director and the Point San Pedro Road Median Landscape Design Project architect in an effort to develop a reasonable solution to address concerns by area residents that the landscape design of the San Pedro Road medians between Main Drive and Fire Station #55 is not consistent with the tree planting on other medians along the Point San Pedro Road.
The group's goal was to come up with a plan the allowed for additional trees to be planted on the two medians that:


It’s easy to fall in love with the South West. A lush, dense tree canopy enveloped me as beams of sunlight streamed through the leaves. There are so many secret footpaths that lead from towns into the middle of nowhere. They wind behind schools and over fields, past gardens and into pine forests. This one began in my home of Totnes.
This footpath led me from the bustling town towards the sleepy village of Ashprington, snaking through woodland as the River Dart meandered below. For a quick walk to clear your mind, it doesn’t really get better than this. The path twists and turns, revealing vistas of rolling hills and forested valleys, the river glinting as it winds its way towards the sea. You might come across the odd dog walker, perhaps a jogger, but what you get here is space. It’s tranquil, it’s peaceful and it’s really beautiful.


Pond installations require intricate planning. Variables like soil type, temperature, weather, location, size, accessibility, elevation of net, and
what the pond will be used for most be considered in the design. There is no cookie cutter solution for ponds. Make sure
you choose an installer that has the experience and know how to do it right.
The planning and detail that go into our designs are clearly
seen at each installation.

New Woodland & Continued Growth
Since 2009, the estate land has been planted with 375 acres (150 hectares) of new woodland. When mature, this will produce approximately 1,000 tons of wood per year. Much of the land is situated at the terminal glaciation zone from the last Ice Age and comprises mixed clay/peat/sandy soils of poor quality (agricultural grade 3) that had been largely used for cattle grazing.
Tree Planting Focus
The focus has been on silviculture in a changing climate. Examples of different parcels of woods are as follows:
Mixed broadleaves with 40% sessile and pedunculate oak in a 70:30 mix. The remaining 60% are other natives such as birch, hazel, hornbeam, lime and wild service trees while foreign trees include roble, plane, walnut, tulip trees and nitrogen-fixing black and red alders.
Conifers - These comprise of 16 species with an emphasis on Douglas fir, Norway spruce, Western red cedar together with maritime and Bhutan pine, Coast redwoods, Sitka and Nootka cypress plus eight other species to add robustness.
Exotics and ornamentals are in six corner areas for visual and olfactory impact with species such as Japanese maple, magnolias, handkerchief, maidenhair and katsura.
Particularly successful species include eucalyptus, Tulip trees, walnuts, mulberries, Douglas fir, and Coast redwoods.
Tree density is 1200 per acre based upon random 1.5 - 1.8 metre spacing to produce a natural look with 2.4 metre gaps between rows for mowing and weed control. Plants were inserted mechanically with the least ground disturbance to minimise CO2 emissions. 6 metre rides were formed for biodiversity and amenity impact on 20% of the sites.
The Tree Planting Plan
The plan is to grow timber trees at high density with oak as the final crop for timber but wood for fire logs, (oak, beech and eucalypts), woodturning (mulberry, lime, Tulip trees) and furniture making (cherry and walnut) are also important. Pest and disease robustness is based upon the broad mixture of trees and provenance from many sources that includes several European countries.
Based on our re-afforestation we received a Royal Forestry Society, Woodlands for Climate Change Award in 2014.

LED lights are widely used in the field of outdoor lighting, among which LED garden lights play an important role in outdoor lighting. Because of their advantages such as energy saving, high brightness, and long life, they greatly reduce the cost of outdoor lighting and at the same time beautify the night view of the city. This article will comprehensively introduce the application and advantages of LED garden lights in outdoor lighting.
Introduction to garden lights
LED garden light is an outdoor landscape lighting fixture manufactured using LED technology, which has strong adaptability and durability. Compared with traditional fluorescent lamps, xenon lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps, the advantages of LED garden lights lie in their long life, low energy consumption, high luminous efficiency, and high color reproduction. This article will explain in detail the composition, advantages and applications of LED garden lights.
LED garden lights are mainly composed of the following parts:
- Lamp body: The lamp body is made of aluminum alloy, and the surface is sprayed or anodized, which can resist harsh weather and corrosion in the outdoor environment, and improve the stability and life of the lamp.
- Lampshade: The lampshade is made of transparent or translucent materials. Different materials have different scattering effects on LED light and can achieve different lighting effects.
- Light source: LED light-emitting diode is used as the light source, which has long service life, high luminous intensity, low calorific value and rich color changes. The commonly used LED light sources on the market now include SMD2835, SMD3030, SMD5050, etc., among which SMD5050 has higher brightness and reliability.
- Radiator: The radiator is usually made of aluminum alloy or copper tube material, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the lamp and improve the stability and life of the LED lamp.
- Drive: The drive circuit of LED garden lights usually adopts DC power supply and constant current drive technology, with stable circuit, low noise and low energy loss.
Application scenarios of LED garden lights
LED garden lights are not only suitable for the lighting of family gardens, but also widely used in the lighting of public places such as parks, scenic spots, squares, and parking lots. Its soft light, high brightness, no radiation, and not easy to produce glare make LED garden lights ideal lighting equipment for public places.
The advantages of LED garden lights
- High efficiency and energy saving: At present, the better LED garden lights on the market generally use energy-saving and high-brightness LED light sources, which have low power and significant energy-saving effects;
- Environmental protection: LED garden lights do not contain pollutants, do not produce ultraviolet and infrared radiation, and the LED recycling effect is also relatively good;
- Long lifespan: LED garden lights have a lifespan of more than 50,000 hours, far exceeding the lifespan of traditional lighting;
- High safety: Traditional lighting has problems such as leakage and short circuit, while LED garden light adopts the characteristics of low voltage and low heat, and at the same time adopts a fully enclosed structure, which can reduce the occurrence of leakage and short circuit, making the safety more secure;
- Beautiful and generous: The appearance of LED garden lights is diversified, and different light types can be designed according to the needs of different occasions. At the same time, it can also be used with various courtyard garden designs to make the overall aesthetics higher.
The development trend of LED garden lights
With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of market demand, LED garden lights will carry out deeper innovation and improvement in terms of increasing brightness, increasing intelligent control, increasing solar power generation, etc., and become more high-end and green lighting products.

You may think that just because part of your yard is in shade that you have to give up on your dream of planting, but that is not the case. There are many interesting looking plants that would love that spot, and they just happen to be perfect for that mysterious look that you may be wanting. Look at the following plants, and tell me if this is just the look that you have been wanting to achieve: Black Taffeta Coral Bells: It features dark, highly-ruffled look, and glossy leaves that maintain a warmer tone throughout the winter. The tops of the leaves are a burnished black while the bottoms are plum-colored, bringing some chocolaty warmth to the black color.
Black Magic Elephant Ear: The enormous elongated heart-shaped leaves of Elephant's Ears make them useful accents in beddings (where space permits), large containers and water gardens. Seldom-seen flowers resemble trumpet-like Callas. Also known as Taro, its tuberous roots are eaten as food in many tropical areas.


This produces the starkest, most dramatic effect. It can be mysterious, intriguing or exotic. Combining this with some other approaches can produce extraordinarily exciting landscape lighting.
Uplighting is a very dramatic lighting technique. It is contrary to what we see in everyday life. Uplighting is a common technique used to accent key focal points in the landscape and create shadows on walls. It can also be used in many other secondary techniques.

In 2017, AKDO organized a design competition for young Architects, age 40 and under, to undertake designing a “Marble Garden” focused on Biophilic Design. Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing spaces while incorporating natural materials, natural light, vegetation and views of nature into the design. The movement has been brought about by the increasing desire for “greener” architecture, and its impact on human health. Research indicates that bringing elements of nature into spaces as a response to the artificiality of current urban conditions provides positive social and psychological effects.
The competitors, a group of accomplished young Architects, were tasked with using AKDOLAM, an innovative product developed by AKDO that facilitates the seamless integration of marble and other stones into architecture and design projects, as the medium to express their concept.
Marble was specifically chosen for use in this “Garden” competition as it is one of man’s oldest materials for construction, and has a unique and natural aesthetic. Each slab of marble is always different, despite being part of the same block, and boasts naturally diverse patterns. The unique range of colors and patterns that make up each piece of marble make them ideal for use in Biophilic Design. Traditionally, marble carries limitations in contemporary construction due to its high cost, weight and density, however AKDOLAM eliminates these hurdles due to its lightweight, durable and cost effective nature.
The Biophilic AKDOLAM Designs were then judged by a team of leading architects, including Han Tümertekin, Brigitte Weber and Nevzat Sayin. The design that was chosen by the judges was commissioned for construction in the lobby of the Silkar Plaza, and is now an indoor space perfect for seating and reflection. AKDOLAM marble with both Aluminum Honeycomb and 3D Fiberglass backing was chosen and custom made according to the architect’s project. The result of this competition is the emphasis of unique structural and aesthetic solutions for creating indoor environments with stronger ties to nature, which is a small step in the direction of improving the quality of contemporary life in our cities today.

A seminar to help you gain a better understanding of how to apply a “low impact development” approach to your own backyard will held on Wednesday, November 14th from 3 to 5 pm at the Kitty Hawk Town Hall. Low impact development basically is landscaping with an objective - the objective being to manage stormwater runoff on your site instead of trying to move it away. Low impact development (LID) is a relatively new approach to stormwater management with a basic principle that is modeled after nature. Before an area is developed, most rainwater that falls to the ground is absorbed and filtered by the soil, soaked up by the plants, or evaporates and becomes rainfall again. However, built structures contain many impervious surfaces, such as rooftops and driveways, which cannot be penetrated by rainwater. Surface water then collects and flows downhill, accumulating sediment and pollutants before reaching a body of water such as a stream, estuary or ocean. (Therefore, all the discussion on stormwater rules!)
The seminar will feature three local experts: Kathy Mitchell, Horticulturist at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island; Susan Ruiz-Evans, Dare County Extension Agent; and Robert McClendon, Sustainable Design Specialist at the Coastal Studies Institute. For more information, contact the Planning Department at 261-2552.

Block Paving - The Way to Comfortable Living
Block paving provides a hard surface which is visually pleasing, comfortable for walking, long lasting and easy to maintain. Paving blocks are carefully manufactured blocks and created in factory conditions to ensure consistency and accuracy. These are laid with an edge restraint over a granular bedding course. This design helps it to distribute weight on the surface evenly.

The Town of East Hartford recently recognized Goodwin College for its continuing contributions to the beautification of the local community. Patricia Ann Sirois, Chair of the East Hartford Beautification Commission, honored Goodwin at the July 15 Town Council meeting with the Community Pride Award for the beautiful landscaping of its Riverside Drive campus and other properties around town.
“We would like to congratulate you and your staff for the strong effort that has made the landscaping at all of the buildings of Goodwin College a pleasure to look at,” Sirois wrote in a congratulatory letter to the College.
Dan Larson, Assistant Vice President for Facilities at Goodwin, accepted the honor along with President Mark Scheinberg; Brian Beechinor, Director of Campus Realty and Grounds; Jerry Jarvis, Supervisor of Grounds; Conner Martin, Lead Groundskeeper; Groundskeepers Eric Todte and Brandon Boudreau; and landscape architect Christine Randazzo, designer for all of Goodwin’s properties.
“Part of the mission of the College has been to enrich our local communities and to become an integral participant,” Larson said. “This is part of that commitment.” Between 2013 and projects for 2014, Goodwin College has donated a total of $24,806 in landscaping design services and plant material for beautifying East Hartford. In 2013, the College provided $13,206 to projects at Alumni Park, Brewer House, Hockanum Elementary School, Mayberry Elementary School, and Wickham Library. This year, Goodwin has approved projects totaling $11,600 in design and plants for the Wickham Library, Raymond Public Library, East Hartford Public Golf Course, the Town Hall building front, and the Town Hall parking lot.
“I have been blessed that at this stage in my life I am able to work with a leadership team that recognizes the impact that a beautiful, clean, welcoming facility has on the environment in which students choose to learn,” Larson said. “The end result is a beautiful campus with access to the river that is a proud asset to both the College and the Town of East Hartford community. We are most appreciative of this recognition.”


Nestled within west country woodland, lies The Newt in Somerset, a sprawling Georgian estate formed of beautiful Limestone buildings and decadent gardens. Specified by Illumination Works, our LD56 and LD150 recessed uplights have been installed around exterior pathways and focal architectural features, such as columns. The brief required a minimal lighting scheme to preserve countryside charm, whilst allowing easy navigation around the grounds at night. Warm colour temperatures provide a relaxing atmosphere and tight beam control directs the light source only where needed. Essential for achieving a discreet lighting scheme.

If you are tired of deploying sprinklers and standing over your yard with a hose, you might be interested in some irrigation options. There are plenty of choices available, and you need to think about all of your options before you decide which one is best for your needs. What are a few examples to consider?
A Drip Irrigation System
A drip irrigation system delivers water directly to the roots of plants. It delivers water at a slow, steady pace using micro-sprayers, bubbler nozzles, or inline emitters. The biggest advantage of this type of system is that it uses significantly less water when compared to other watering systems. There is no runoff or wastewater because the water itself is delivered directly to the root system. On the other hand, a drip irrigation system requires a significant amount of maintenance to prevent mineral buildup and system clogs from forming.
A Spray System
A spray system is arguably the most popular method to deliver water to just about every type of landscape. It typically consists of a controller system, a series of valves, and sprinklers that will automatically distribute water. The biggest advantage of a spray system is that it can cover an immense amount of area with ease. The downside is that it may have a difficult time keeping the water evenly dispersed on a sloped landscape.
A Rotor System
A rotor system is very similar to a spray system; however, the sprinkler heads rotate on a rotor system. They do not rotate on a spray system. A rotor system typically distributes water more evenly when compared to a traditional spray system. The downside is that a rotor system requires higher water pressure than a spray system, which means that it might be more expensive.
Choose The Right Irrigation System For Your Yard
In the end, these are a few of the most popular options if you are looking for an irrigation system for your yard. Each system has its benefits and drawbacks, and the right option for one person is not necessarily the right option for you. If you are having a hard time deciding which system to go with, consider reaching out to an expert who can help you.


A large swathe of the Scottish Highlands stretching between the west coast and Loch Ness is to be rewilded as part of a 30-year project to restore nature.
The Affric Highlands initiative aims to increase connected habitats and species diversity over an area of 200,000 hectares (500,000 acres), incorporating Kintail mountain range, and glens Cannich, Moriston and Shiel. Plans include planting trees, enhancing river corridors, restoring peat bogs and creating nature-friendly farming practices.
The project has been launched after two years of conversations and meetings between local communities and conservationists from rewilding charity Trees for Life. Similar to the WildEast project in East Anglia, it is a community-led effort to restore nature over a large area, which organisers hope will be a catalyst for social and economic regeneration.
“This was once a much more peopled landscape that was rich with wildlife and we think we can find new ways to establish that connection again, today,” said Alan McDonnell, a conservation manager at Trees for Life, and the project leader. “The idea of doing it at scale is that you get a much bigger natural response because you’ve got room for change and dynamism in that landscape.” Read more…

After a mild winter aided the construction process, we are proud to debut our two new greens on Holes 11 and 13! Designed by golf course architect Tyler Rae, who specializes in renovations to classic, “old school” designs, and supervised by golf course superintendent Jim Morgan, the new complexes opened to rave reviews on May 15th. The 11th hole now features a yawning fairway bunker on the right side approximately thirty yards in front of the green. The green itself is much bigger and has many more hole locations while still offering a challenge. Hole 13 features a two-tier green complete with multiple hole locations on both the top and bottom sections and the top section features a natural “backboard” that blends the green complex with the surrounding terrain. We are very excited as golfers have been raving about the greens since their opening!

Welland City Council has approved phase one of a multi-phased canal redevelopment strategy focused on funding new initiatives and amenities that will enhance the city’s waterfront experience for families, individuals, and tourists. The phase one changes will be completed at the city’s Lincoln Street Docks over the next four to six weeks.
The components of phase one include: installing approximately 120 feet of public use dock along with ladders for unsupervised swimming as well as placement of public use amenities including picnic tables, benches, bike rack stands, BBQs, shaded sitting areas and covering, and decorative stone and plants to enhance the aesthetic value.
“Our waterway is an important part of our history, and it will be an integral part of our future,” said Welland Mayor Frank Campion. “The changes and new initiatives approved by Council will support the transformation and rejuvenation of our waterway that we envision over the next few years with new recreational amenities and new residential and commercial development.”
“One of our goals with phase one is to lay foundation to complement existing uses such as the new Skateboard and BMX Park adjacent to the waterway, and support future development ideas that will attract interest and passion for the waterway,” said Richard Dalton, the City’s Manager of Recreation and Culture, who also oversees the Welland International Flatwater Centre (WIFC). “This is a first step towards future opportunities for more significant recreational development in the area including the potential to create a multi-purpose recreational hub at the Lincoln St. Docks location.”
Future project phases being reviewed include the relocation of the Welland Boat Rental Program to the Lincoln St. area, along with a new capacity for food & beverage vending, new sport and game facilities, and expanded installations for swimming and low cost opportunities to enjoy the waterway.

Caroline has been designing and creating gardens for several decades. Her knowledge of Bowen and the challenges faced, makes her a good choice for a light garden consultation. Maybe you need ideas for an overhaul, perhaps you've bought an existing garden that isn't working, or you are starting from scratch.
WHAT IS INCLUDED:
Caroline will visit your garden, where she will spend approximately one hour. Together you will walk the garden. Ideas will be offered for what to keep, and how to make the layout more cohesive.
This is such a valuable option and helps prevent you making costly mistakes with unsuitable plant choices and design flaws. You'll get suggestions for new plant material, which can be ordered through The Bowen Island Flower Shop at a discounted quantity rate. You will take notes or record the consultation.

This bench stands at the foot of an old, tall lime tree. The surrounding fields supplied 4 granite blocks, that where then dug in and positioned with millimeter precision. They serve as a base for the wooden seating, which stays protected from ground moisture. Even if the wood has to be replaced every 40 years or so, the granite base can stay for centuries. And so, this design honors the specific location and the concept of time. It tries to make sense, of an old tree and its new bench.
On a project basis, Ingmar Cramers offers technical and conceptual product development and sculptural design, both for commercial and private clients. The value of a product as part of a whole, respecting the given context, is always in focus.
