If you want that gorgeous glow at dusk, some outdoor lightings are just what you need. It’s important to pay attention to because it can really change the look and functionality of your backyard.
There are so many options for lighting that it can be difficult to decide where to start. You can quickly add interest to a patio, highlight important features like your favourite plants, draw attention to a garden pergola set up for alfresco dining, or even bring warmth to a dark corner with the right designs. Try a variety of lights for various areas, and don’t be afraid to layer them: Take, for instance, spotlights on the steps, up lighting on the trees, or warm lanterns around outdoor seating. What the best outdoor lights can do to make a plot appear magical is amazing.
Are you search for some pretty garden lighting in Essex? We can help! But first let’s take a look at different types of garden lights and various different ways you can use them:


Asparagus is a perennial plant. It is grown in sandy and well-drained soil. The seed once in the ground develops, for a year, roots called claws. When the claw is formed, it is dug up and transplanted deeper into the soil, about 30 cm. It takes two years before it produces an asparagus of a size appropriate for consumption. The first two years, the plant grows and matures. After two years, you can finally harvest the asparagus but only for ten days. The plant reaches maturity after five years. It can then be harvested for about 35 days without ever exceeding 60 days. After the harvest, the plant then develops a beautiful fern-like foliage that is often found in landscaping.

Whether you prefer the efficiency of LED lights or the classic aesthetics of halogen bulbs, there is a solution to fit your tastes and pocketbook. For increased safety in walkways, pathway lighting provides low-level illumination that is both eye-catching and economical. Meanwhile, those looking for targeted lights with greater intensity can lean on spotlights or floodlights to provide illumination exactly where it’s needed.

So whether you’re looking for indoor or outdoor landscape lighting in East Hampton, NY, please give us a call!
Lighting is an essential part of any design, yet it often goes overlooked as a source for creating atmosphere and beauty. Selecting the right lighting fixtures for your home or business can help elevate any room to greatness. Consider both form and function, starting with the area you wish to illuminate – what activities occur there? What tone do you want to set? Highlighting focal points or creating ambient light with gentle haloes or wall washes are all achievable through the correct fixtures. Next, identify the wattage of each bulb – too many might be wasteful, but too little will leave spaces feeling dim or insufficiently brightened. Finally, think about where you’ll place the accompanying wiring and electrical outlets. With efficient planning, you can illuminate your home or business perfectly!

The Jubilee Pond in August 2012
Since the inauguration of the Jubilee Pond by Sir David
Attenborough in May, Healthy Planet have been
matching pound for pound every donation given to this freshwater
project in Richmond Park. The generosity of Healthy Planet and
Friends of Richmond Park supporters has meant that the excavation
of the pond is fully funded with the planting to be completed in
The aim of the pond is to create a new freshwater habitat within
the park to support many water-loving plant and tree species that
in turn provide habitat for the parks native wildlife including
invertebrates, amphibians, birds and bats. It also aims to retain
water in the Park, to help to counteract the effects of climate
The excavation of the pond was far from simple with heavy rains
hampering its progress and a live WWII grenade being found in the
earth resulting in a visit from the bomb squad!
Despite the setbacks the team worked hard completed the pond
construction at the end of July, it is currently being left to fill
with water. Once ready the team will be planting a whole range of
native marginal aquatic plants, sourced from Isabella Plantation,
including Common Scullcap, Water Mint, Water Iris, Hard and Soft
Rush, Gypsywort and Purple Loosestrife. There will also be Alder
and Black Poplar trees to create an area of shading over the pond
to increase its biodiversity.
Royal Parks head ecologist Dr.
Nigel Reeve shows us the expected water level
The pond sits next to Richmond
Parks 300m wide Olympic Rings! See image
It is fantastic to watch the development of a new freshwater
habitat in a London National Nature Reserve, from Sir David
Attenborough's first spade of earth to its transformation into a
vital new home for the parks biodiversity.
Thank you to both the Healthy Planet and Friends of Richmond

As the snow melts, we are anxious to start the season. We look forward to bringing you the best services, and leaving you with your dream landscape.
Bryce’s Lawn Services Recipe for a Beautiful Yard:
- Spring cleanup!
Our spring cleanup services include a complete yard clean up that leaves your yard ready for the season ahead. We begin by cleaning out all of your beds and then move to the yard. This will take care of any sticks, leaves, and other debris that the winter left behind. We also offer perennial trimming.
Unfortunately, last year brought us a drought that really took a toll on many yards in the area. We recommend reseeding these areas that need extra help and joining a fertilization program to keep weeds from taking over and to strengthen your grass health.
- Planting Beds.
We offer hassle-free bedding services to give your yard an extra boost this spring. This includes weed spray to clean out weeds and protect against future weeds. We specialize in laying weed barrier down, to give a 5 year plus, protection against weed growth. Next, we suggest bed edging for a professional, clean look and to prevent grass from growing inside the beds. Lastly, installing fresh mulch brings life to your yard, making it stand out in your neighborhood.
- Dreaming? Plan your backyard escape!
Summer is the best time to celebrate the warm weather and escape to your dream backyard. We will plan around your budget, and needs. Whether you’re planning for backyard grilling, sitting by an outdoor fireplace, we can bring your dreams to reality!
- Landscape manicure.
Nothing makes your home stand out more than the look of a well-manicured landscape. Our pruning and shaping services take your shrubs and trees and turn them into our canvas. You will be left with a yard that is healthy and attractive.
Please give us a call today at 414-587-1281 and we can provide a free, no obligation quote.
Your yard. Our passion.

Chiodo's simple design will transform spaces and is designed as a family of poles with three heights or wall mount. When hidden among bushes or visible in plain sight, the halo diffuser is a unique feature to the fixture. It can create an intense light particularly suitable for scenic lighting of gardens or large vases with flowers and greenery. By using different heights you can create magical compositions emulating small forests of pure light. Chiodo can be fixed in the ground by a spike, or on the floor through a small base. This bollard and wall-mount landscape lighting fixture is available in two color finish options - black or white. Manufactured in Italy, by Platek.

River Rock Stone
In nature, river rocks are stones worn smooth by the constant motion of water. You see them in river beds, and in design, they immediately invoke ideas of mountain streams and serene trickling waterfalls. River rock designs are used in everything from siding to fireplaces, and they’re a very popular way to add color, texture and personality to a home or business.
While natural river rocks can be used in construction, they’re not an easy material to work with. They’re heavy, unwieldy, and pulling them from nature can damage the ecosystem. Instead, opt for river rock faux stone veneers, like those sold here at ProCast Stone!
- River rock fireplaces
- River rock accents for log cabins
- River rock backsplashes for rustic kitchens
- River rock retainer walls for gardens and yards
All of our stones are available in many different colors, as well as custom hues. With river rocks, you can choose to have all the stones in a panel be similarly colored, or opt for a more vibrant mixture of colors. Here are a few of our more popular river rock color choices, with names inspired by local rivers:
We strongly suggest that you see actual samples prior to any product selection. Pictures may not accurately reflect product color.
If you have a specific color scheme you’re looking to match, bring in a sample and we can color-match your custom-ordered stones. Contact us today to learn more, or browse our site for more of our available colors and styles.

This summer a large portion of our creative efforts were devoted to the Luminous Garden — a large-scale group collaboration creating an experience of an otherworldly garden biosphere, one with luminous flora and fauna and interactive kinetic sculptures.
Please see our summary slideshow of the experience: http://www.slideshare.net/ShellyDFarnhamPhD/take-a-virtual-walk-through-the-luminous-garden
Our basic framework was to provide an overarching experiential design theme “taking a walk in an otherworldly garden arboretum”, and then recruit other artists, technologists, scientists, and designers to take on aspects of that theme, playing with technologically infused, interactive and self-illuminated organic objects or sculptural garden elements. As a part of the design framework, we also designed and implemented the lighting, path, and portal to the garden.
A primary goal of the garden was to foster interdisciplinary collaboration through a larger group installation, and we feel we were quite successful. We had 19 participating projects and over 80 artists, technologists, and designers actively collaborating, learning from each other and creating inspiring works. It was very well received by locals in Skykomish at Electric Sky, and enjoyed by thousands when installed later in the summer at Lusio (Volunteer Park) and Arts-a-Glow (Burien).

In the 1980’s, Salt Lake County began the planning and acquisition of land around the Jordan River with the vision of developing a trail system from the mouth of the Jordan River at Utah Lake through Salt Lake County to the Great Salt Lake. Today, the trail even connects with the Legacy trail and parkway in Davis County. In addition to trail systems, the Jordan River Parkway has done much to improve the quality of Jordan River area. The parkway trails wind through wetlands and upland property preserving large tracts of land which provide habitat for foxes, deer, beaver and a vast number variety of bird life.Manicured parks, pavilions, park benches and picnic sites line the river corridor all of which are accessed via trailheads for visitors to frequent a shady and scenic spots along the trail.
At present many miles of paved trails-for cycling, jogging, and blading-have been completed. From the Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake, if one knows how to get there. There are only a few gaps in the overall Lake-to-lake trail system are left to be completedand in 2011, Salt Lake County voters passed a bond to raise funds to complete those missing links. During the Summer of 2005, Spring View Farms added the critical 4.5 miles of paved trails between Bangerter Highway and 14600 South along with community parks, a major trailhead at 14600 South and other amenities such as ponds, streams, and picnic areas which has helped make the Lake-to-lake dream become a reality!

Have you ever noticed how many people have travertine pavers around their swimming pool? It turns out, there is a reason for that. These pavers offer a number of benefits that make them ideal for use in a swimming pool deck. Below are some of the reasons why you should consider installing travertine around your own pool:
1. You are less likely to slip and fall on travertine than on other types of stone. Travertine’s porous surface tends to absorb water, keeping it from forming puddles on the surface of your pool deck. This, in turn, keeps the surface from becoming slick underfoot. This can help prevent accidental slips and falls – an important safety consideration around a swimming pool.
2. Travertine stays relatively cool to the touch even in direct sunlight. Have you ever burned your feet on a concrete pool deck on a hot summer day? If so, you already know that certain types of material can become extremely hot when they are exposed to the sun. Travertine, however, is unique. Even when it is in direct sunlight, it stays relatively cool to the touch. That means that you don’t have to worry about burning your feet on your travertine pool deck no matter how hot it is outside.
3. Travertine is extremely beautiful to look at. With its relatively light neutral color, travertine can mix and match with a lot of different styles. Depending on how it is installed, it can look rustic and natural or classy and sophisticated. That means that you can use it to create whatever type of look you are going for in your own backyard. To see just how versatile this natural stone is, try checking out photos of travertine pool decks online. Within just a few minutes of looking at photos, you should quickly see that this beautiful stone can be used in many different ways to create a lot of unique looks.
Travertine pavers are the ideal choice for a pool deck. Not only are they attractive but they also stay cool to the touch. This can keep them from burning your feet when it is hot outside. Additionally, they are far less likely to become slippery than many other types of paving materials. This can help improve swimming pool safety by minimizing the likelihood of anyone slipping and falling as they make their way across the pool deck.


For the last two years, the Lowell Housing Authority has worked to revitalize the streetscape along Market Street, which to date, has seen improvements with new parking, iron fencing, and new walkways. More recently, Themelis Square at the corner of Market Street and Dummer Street has been improved to include open seating with new benches, lighting, additional parking spaces for residents, and new landscaping. The Lowell Housing Authority is committed to the urban revitalization of the Merrimack Street Corridor. To that end, the agency has established a non-profit affiliate called the Revitalization Effort Toward New Urbanism (RENU), to begin an ambitious project to develop mixed-use property consisting of workforce housing and retail space. The vision for the 50-60 new units will be designed for families making $40,000-$60,000—families who often do not meet eligibility requirements for other LHA housing options.
While the project is still in the early stages, an environmental review has been conducted, and RENU has assembled its Board of Directors, consisting of community partners who will help drive the project. The next step for the nonprofit will be the submission of an application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to disposition scattered sites. Funding will come from the disposition of the scattered sites, along with low-income tax credits. The organization will be working on resident outreach this spring to discuss the plans for the project, though it will be at least a year before any resident is relocated to another Lowell Housing Authority property.

British Gardens in Time takes four iconic gardens, each a product of its age, and provides a fascinating window into the creators and events that shaped them. The stories of their creation include obsession, escape, social ambition, political intrigue, heartbreak, bankruptcy and disaster. In unravelling these remarkable stories we reach back over the centuries to see these great gardens through fresh eyes.
From the magnificent landscape garden at Stowe created by Bridgeman, Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown; the Victorian masterpiece of Biddulph Grange; the romantic Arts & Crafts retreat at Nymans; and Christopher Lloyd’s plantsman’s paradise at Great Dixter, you will hear of adventure, innovation and visionary individuals who changed the way we create our gardens and the plants we grow.
Author Katie Campbell weaves the stories of these four exemplary gardens into a history of British gardening from the earliest cultivated spaces to the present day, exploring trends, influences and pioneers. Fascinating historic detail and atmospheric storytelling make this a compelling read.
British Gardens in Time includes a foreword by CHRIS BEARDSHAW, specially commissioned photography by NATHAN HARRISON, and extensive archive illustrations. Author KATIE CAMPBELL lectures widely, leads garden tours and writes on the social history of gardening. Her other books published by Frances Lincoln are Icons of Twentieth-Century Landscape Design and Paradise of Exiles.

Cedar and Soil Landscapes was founded in the high Alpine spaces of Gunnison/Crested Butte in 1997. While the short duration of the growing season was a challenge, it was an excellent opportunity to learn about the unique flora and environmental challenges of our phenomenally beautiful state. It was there in the Wildflower Capital of Colorado that Jason’s deep love of colorful perennials, and an acute sense of seasonality was nourished.
With the addition of Glen Carvill in 1999, Cedar and Soil’s reputation as premier water feature builders was established. Jason and Glen went on to build many large-scale waterfalls and water features in Crested Butte, Breckenridge, and across the Front Range.
After relocating to Boulder in the early 2000’s, Cedar and Soil continued to install creative, one-of-a-kind landscapes, and is proud to call Boulder County home.

In 2003 we worked with Lango Hansen to create their first web site. After 8 years of faithful service (and periodic updates) the site was showing its age. So we set out to reexamine the best way to showcase their 11+ years of award-winning work.
A primary goal was to modernize the site – both visually and technically. The previous site (created long before the iPhone existed) utilized Flash for its interactivity and animation capabilities. The new site was designed to be quasi-responsive: the layout expands and contracts to work equally well on large desktop monitors and smaller screens such as the iPad.
Those looking to see very specific types of projects can use the traditional categories (parks, gardens, etc.), or browse the complete list of projects. But we also wanted to provide an alternate way to access the work, to help visitors discover how different environments can manifest common themes in unique ways. The facets (kinetic, verdant, etc.) allow the exploration of projects with similar attributes across different categories.
For a look at some of the other visual treatments explored, watch the design process video.

The history of the Alnwick Gardens goes back to 1750. The modern gardens were designed after a long period of neglect. The current Duchess of Northumberland decided to revamp the gardens when she became mistress of Alnwick Castle. The project began around 2000, but she did not begin the Poison Garden until five years later. The Duchess wanted a garden that was filled with narcotic, poisonous and deadly plants. The initial design included some medicinal plants, but she had them removed to maintain the concept of the Poison Garden.
The Duchess of Northumberland had father and son garden designers Jacques and Peter Wirtz design the modern Alnwick Gardens. Besides the Poison Garden, there is the Rose Garden, the Tree House, the Serpent Garden, the Ornamental Garden, the Bamboo Labyrinth and more. The Poison Garden has arguably the most socially significant purpose of all the Alnwick Gardens. Guests who visit the Alnwick Poison Garden are led by guides who teach them about the plants and about drug abuse prevention. The drug abuse prevention message stems from the plants that reside in the Poison Garden.
The plants that grow in the Alnwick Poison Garden could be used to make an array of illegal narcotics. There are poppies, which are used to make opium. There is Atropa belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade, which is famous for its use as a poison. Belladonna is also a hallucinogenic. Cocoa also grows in the Poison Garden. Cocoa sounds like a lovely plant, but it is actually used to make cocaine. Strychnos nux-vomica is another deadly plant, which is used to make strychnine. Also included are hemlock, cannabis and more.
The Poison Garden at Alnwick Gardens is on around the clock surveillance for the safety of the public and would-be thieves. Some of the plants are even kept in specially fenced areas to avoid accidental poisoning or theft of the plants for use in making narcotics. The message at the Poison Garden is anti-drug, so it is of the utmost importance that the plants there be used to educate the public, not harm people.

“It is impossible in considering types of holes for a course to suggest any positive sequence
of alignment, for each layout should be designed to fit the particular ground on which it lies”.
William Flynn, Golf Course Architect - 1927
"The educated taste admires simplicity of design and sound workmanship for their
own sake rather than over-decoration and the crowding of artificial hazards."
Tom Simpson, Golf Course Architect - 1928

to play on to some particular position of it, in order to simplify the next stroke.”

of nature so closely as to make his work indistinguishable from nature itself.”

We can't wait.
In preparation for the move, we had a Realtor come by and give us the low down on what needs to be done.
About what we expected, so that was good.
We started with a fun project. Jared would argue with the fun part, but I really think it makes our yard look better already. I, of course, forgot to take pictures of the before, although...
Anyway, the above pictures show what our front garden looked like this morning. We originally started with one little circle of flowers (that actually started as a fire pit in 2009), then expanded that the following year (2010) to this. I wanted to use sticks as the edging to give it a more natural look, but it turned out to be a big pain for mowing and such.
I still think it looks cool, but potential buyers might disagree. I will save that for when I am out in the country.
Wait, who am I kidding, when I live in the country, I want a meadow instead of a lawn.
Anyway, this is what our new front garden looked like immediately after completion.
From the front step
Left side of the garden
Right side (I know, the garbage can just adds to the charm)
Whole garden from the right side
Whole garden from the left side.
I am super happy about with they way it turned out :)
The best part about our garden is that of all the plants currently residing there, we have only purchased, I think, 2. Everything else came from my mother-in-law, or my neighbors. Can't beat free.
In fact, we might have to make a trip to Gramma's soon just so we can raid her garden to fill out ours :)


This is the final article on the 6 steps of our project cycle of services. Pretty much every successful project needs to contain these essential elements. We have spoken about what is involved with and the main principles of: cost estimation; consultant appointment and management; design development, council submission of documentation and interior design.
The final step is one that is usually subcontracted by the contractor as it is a specialist skill, but an essential one, to complete the look and feel of any home or office building – this is landscaping. We thought it may be of interest to our clients to have an overview of the basic principles of Landscape Design in a building project. These are not necessarily in any order, but some of the key principles that most good landscape designers follow is…
Keep it simple
When setting out the landscaping of any garden, it is important to prioritise what is most important and eliminate that which is not absolutely necessary. It is preferable to keep the design clean, neat and uncluttered.
Of course there are many forms of landscaping and nowadays being water wise is a great consideration in any design, but in all cases simplicity of design will usually mean easier maintenance and better functionality.
Variety and sequence
Simplicity should not be forfeited to create variety, but variety of course is a key element for aesthetic reasons. Shapes, sizes and colour should vary to avoid a too formal look.
There should be a good sequence to this however. There should always be a gradual change from one set of elements to the other. Shapes and sizes planted haphazardly are seldom appealing.
Scale, proportion, balance and weight
There are certain key terms that your landscaper may use and it can be helpful to know what these refer to. The size of the components in a landscape is referred to by landscapers as its scale and the way that they relate to each other is its proportion.
In order to maintain a good proportion the scale of your landscape and whatever is planted in it, should all have a pleasing balance. The visual appeal of everything that is placed in it is known as the visual weight it carries in the design.
Unity – the cohesive whole
Last, but certainly not least, unity is said by many landscapers to be the key element to landscape design. Unity is about everything working well together in unison.
Walkways, paved areas, paths, stairs and fences all need to interconnect beautifully to link the areas of the design. The repetition of certain key elements can assist the feeling of unity too, but too much repetition can again lead to formality.
The 6 point project plan that makes it happen
This has been the last article detailing Davel and Lottering Construction’s 6 point project plan – a plan that is always rigidly executed because it has shown to be a proven success blueprint for every project.
We hope you have found it informative and invite you to contact us to talk about, and plan your future home, or office building, or renovation projects. We have no doubt that COVID-19 will not have its grip on us for much longer and when it is nothing but a memory we will be well along with your planned project.
In the meantime stay home stay, stay safe and stay in touch!

When I was looking the websites of the attractions of London, one of the places that most called my attention was the Kew Gardens. It seems a beautiful park, with lots of places to visit (buildings, lakes, a walk through the treetops, etc. ) and a big garden to travel in.

This year, Focus on iThemba was invited by the Kloof Rotary Anns to showcase our incredible office garden as part of their Rotary Open Garden Event. This Event takes place annually and raises funds, through a small entrance fee, for community projects in need. Our garden was one of four in the Upper Highway area to be opened to the public on the first weekend of the month.
We are immensely proud of our indigenous garden with its breath-taking views over the Valley of 1000 Hills. As the owners of the iThemba Campus, it is our heart to protect and develop this land in a way that respects, reflects and pays homage to the indigenous landscapes that existed in the Valley before our time here. Our landscaping philosophy seeks to cultivate a sense of Biodiversity Stewardship for all those who share our Campus, and those still to come.
Once filled with gum trees and alien vegetation, our garden now bursts forth with indigenous grasses, aloes, strelizias, irises and endemic cycads which host a variety of birds, frogs, butterflies and other small insects. Careful attention has been given to intentional planting and natural composting which has led to a thriving ecosystem that rewards us with an ever-changing landscape. From a sea of warm oranges and browns in winter, to lush greens, yellows and whites in summer, Jacob House Garden is truly a feast for the senses of any nature-lover.
It was a great honour for us to be invited to partake in the Rotary Open Garden Event. We had over 160 guests visit our garden over the weekend, some of whom left beautiful comments for us to read…
“Beautiful natural garden! Well balanced and thought through composition of an indigenous garden. An example of what may be achieved.”
“Absolutely beautiful! Kiddies loved hopping in the pools and hearing chickens, cows and birds tweeting. Thank you!”
“Delightful garden. Really natural, calm feel with the most beautiful water feature.”
A special thanks to our founder, Judy van den Heever, for her vision and passion which steers us in our landscaping efforts, to Miles Steenhuisen from Mass Landscapes for making this vision come to life, and to Falakhe Shabalala who lovingly tends to our garden.


Gardens by the Bay in Singapore – The Futuristic Supertrees
Singapore has went over and above when it comes to creating a futuristic garden at the center of Marina Bay. The Gardens by the Bay is an iconic 101-hectare garden composed of different plants and flowers in controlled conservatories and amazing supertrees that are all aimed to make Singapore literally a “City in a Garden”.
The Gardens by the Bay is divided into the Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. On June 29, 2012, the Bay South Garden was opened to the public which made my trip in Singapore this July a perfect time to pay it a visit. After seeing lots of awesome photos of Gardens by the Bay, I made sure that it was part of my itinerary. With awesome friends that I have, they made my plan come true because I was able to go to Gardens by the Bay two nights in a row.
The Bay South Garden is where the conservatories and supertrees are located. This part of the Gardens by the Bay is easily accessible from the Bayfront MRT. Take Exit B and walk through the underground link way. The wall of the underground link way is filled with many giant mirrors, and large prints of colorful plants and flowers alternating each other. It is probably trying to achieve a forest-like appearance when you face one mirror.
When walking at the underground link way, there are lots of sign boards leading to the Bay South Garden so it is relatively easy to find.
On the first time I went at Gardens by the Bay, the weather was good. (On the second time, it was quite drizzling.) Went there late in the afternoon, walked around the place, and before we noticed it, it was already nighttime.
The Supertrees are the number reason why I wanted to go to the Gardens by the Bay. I bet I share the same reason with almost everyone who wants to drop a visit in this place. These giant trees give a futuristic environment, as if it was taken from a snapshot in the movie Avatar.
There are 11 Supertrees constructed at the Bay South Garden and each is built with environmentally sustainable system such as photovoltaic cells that catch solar energy. Each supertree has four major parts — the reinforcement concrete core, trunk, planting panels of the living skin, and canopy. Over 162,900 flora from more than 200 species and varieties are planted on these supertrees.
We walked around the Bay Garden South to see what’s out there. Aside from the Supertree Grove and the OCBC Skyway, there is a lot of nature housed in this side of the garden. The area is so vast that you can get tired walking around it but still haven’t seen the entirety of it.
There are also a lot of stuff that you can learn while walking around Gardens by the Bay. There are several shaded areas that contain information that you can read while exploring the garden.
I wanted to see the supertrees light up so we waited a bit until it was dark. The view of the supertrees at daytime is already great but the view is way awesome at nightime. Luckily, there was a short light show by the supertrees at around 8PM and we were able to catch it.
The Gardens by the Bay is still a work-in-progress. Some parts of it are complete and available for the public to see while other parts are still under construction. For an instance, the supertrees are already built but I think it will take time for all the plants to grow and add more beauty to these massive trees. Yet at the end of it, I think Gardens by the Bay is not only great for the aesthetics but its aim for an Eco-friendly and sustainable garden is huge step in making a difference for the environment. I sure hope it is thoroughly achieved.
There is still a lot to see at the Gardens by the Bay that I haven’t checked out. I wasn’t able to go to the plant conservatories but I heard they are must-see when you’re around the area. I will definitely go there when I visit Singapore again. If you have been to the plant conservatories like the Flower Dome or the Cloud Forest, are they really a must-see?

- Exit the underground link way and take the lift or stairs to see the Gardens by the Bay

This project will complete on-ground works at a total of eight locations within Terry's Creek to improve overall water quality to the estuary. This will be achieved by implementation of two stormwater quality improvement devices, using bush regeneration works to remove invasive weed species, plant new riparian areas for habitat improvement and bank stabilisation and construct four erosion control projects to reduce erosion, stabilise creek banks and improve water quality.
Congratulations Ryde Council.
Hornsby Council manages the west side of Terrys Creek and have agreed to contribute to the project. GREAT news!

Buying Bamboo For Your Home Or Office Bamboo is a beautiful plant. You can purchase non-invasive bamboo these days thereby growing the plant indoors. The question is: Where do you buy this kind of plant? Burt Associates bamboo selections can be the answer to that question. This small family owned nursery has the expertise you need whether you are buying it for use as a privacy fence, or as a gift to give to someone special, whether you are located in the north east or south west, they have the knowledge to help you make the best decision for your need. Choose between clumping and spreading bamboo. Burt Associates bamboo selections are available in either style. It is important to keep in mind the climate in which you live, the amount of sun the area gets, and the lowest temperature that your area experiences. This is important to know when you are deciding on the plant that you wish to choose. The spreading variety spreads by extending modified underground stems. It then sends up shoots or new plants and continues to spread in this manner. the clumping variety will spread several inches per year rather than the several feet that the spreading variety often achieves. Both types are often used for screening purposes, but spreading bamboo is often required to be contained. Clumping bamboo is often used as hedges due to its slow spreading abilities it is much easier to contain its rate of growth. Burt Associates bamboo recommends planting it in odd number clumps and that the spreading variety be spaced 8 to 10 feet apart. It might look a little sparse when first planted but the spreading variety will fill in rather quickly. There are many ways to control the spreading of this plant. One effective way is to plant in the ground with the container still surrounding the underground stems. Place it near water since will not grow in a pond or other water source. Mowing a ten to fifteen around the planting in the spring yearly will keep the spreading plant from growing where not wanted. Burt Associates bamboo knowledge will help you to successfully grow beautiful specimens of bamboo.


A homes greatest asset is the land it rests on. The homes we create only enhance the natural environment they occupy. We perform an exhaustive study of the site prior to conceiving any structure. We capture all of the attributes your site has and design the home to incorporate every opportunity the land provides. Views, Topography, Natural Breezes and Solar Orientation are some of the features studied.
Let the dreaming begin. Any design is at it's best when the team is in place and collaboration is formed to bring creativity to the forefront. Schematic Design is the foundation for any design. We will complete the overall design and scope of your project. This is where we will spend a great deal of time exploring all of the options for your specific project and create the formwork for the construction documents.
Any good design starts with a set of well thought out detailed documents. In order for the vision to be carried out, there must be a good team in place that communicates well and is on the same page. Our goal in creating construction documents is to have no stone left unturned. To create a comprehensive set of drawings and specifications. We also provide guidance in the field to the builder and trades.

The City of Española Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted at its Feb. 11 meeting to recommend a plan for a new branch of Del Norte Credit Union at 1720 N Riverside Drive. The recommendation moves the decision to the full city council.
The plan was previously considered at the Jan. 14 Commission meeting, but was tabled following several concerns from commissioners and area residents about storm water drainage and traffic flow.
Representing Del Norte Credit Union, engineer Mike Walla presented revised plans for the construction. A water retention pond will collect excess runoff from the parking lot, with a slow-release drain outflowing to Camino Miramontes in the event of extreme storms that overfill the pond. According to Walla, these drainage plans had been approved by Souder, Miller and Associates, the contracted engineers for the city.
Camino Miramontes resident Alicia Hicks said drainage on the street was already sub-par, with the one drainage at the end of the street half-blocked with dirt. Walla explained that the slow-drain on the pond would not release a significant enough volume of water to exacerbate problems of drainage and pooling on the street.
Other changes to the original plan included moving the driveway, located on Camino Miramontes, to the east so it was not directly in front of Hicks’s driveway. This change involved modifying the building plan and reducing parking. Hicks asked for additional landscaping features that would reduce the visibility of her property from the parking lot, to which Del Norte would not commit.
An 8-foot wall is also being built on the west side of the property to protect the residents on the other side from noise and water run-off from the parking lot. An extra passing lane has been added to the drive-through to allow greater access and circulation for emergency vehicles. There were some concerns about the increase in traffic along Camino Miramontes. Joe Slagle, architect for the credit union, expects about 15-20 cars per hour to be visiting the branch.
According to Planning and Land Use Director Richard Hubler, the company was asked to make eight changes to the plan at the last meeting, and they successfully made all those changes.
The plan will be considered by the whole city council at its Feb. 23 meeting.
