Pro rules to create the best country garden
The country house will have a complete appearance only after the backyard is equipped. There are many design options that depend on the taste of the owners, family composition, terrain features and financial capabilities.
Landscape design specialists are pretty in demand today, although their services are not cheap. Many owners, due to lack of money or the presence of strength and desire, prefer to independently arrange the courtyard and garden. The first step is to gather the maximum amount of information, for this, you can use Internet resources or relevant literature.
Experts say that the most spectacular results can be achieved if you develop a site plan even before you start building a house. The building should preferably be erected on the north side of the site. This will make it possible to use light-loving plants and not worry that the house will shade them. Additional buildings should be located near the house. A building for a garage would be appropriate near the roadway and with quality sliding garage doors. When planning the placement of certain structures, it is necessary to provide possible options for conducting communications immediately.
The garden area must be planned, taking into account the peculiarities of the climate and soils. It is advisable to immediately install automatic watering, so green spaces do not have to be watered with watering cans and buckets. There are rolled lawns, thanks to which it is possible to transform an individual plot in a short time.
When planting certain ornamental trees and shrubs, one should take into account their compatibility with each other. Neighbours can become the best assistants in this because they have already managed to get acquainted with how winters pass, which breeds cannot stand frost and other nuances.
It is advisable to select plants for flower beds and flower beds so that they rage with colours, starting from early spring and ending in late autumn. Having adopted photographs of professional gardeners, you can determine the volume of plantings, growth selection of flowers, and so on.
Proper and tastefully selected lighting will help create unique compositions. For example, you can use lanterns in the form of fireflies, butterflies or birds, as well as ordinary garden lanterns.
Additional decorative elements can be the highlight of a summer cottage. Small ponds, fountains, figurines and paths laid out in art will look very impressive.
The main steps in arranging cottage house garden
To start equipping a summer cottage, you need to study its layout. Take a picture of it from all sides, measure the perimeters of all zones with a tape measure and draw up a drawing. When examining your territory from a general plan, it will be much clearer to you what and where you can plant, build and ennoble. It is necessary to rationally distribute the entire territory so that you do not have wastelands and/or impassable areas. If you think over all the points in advance, then in the future you will avoid significant expenses of money and time.
You also need to take into account other individual features of the site, namely:
Relief features of the area
Many processes for arranging the land depend on the relief of the site. If the site is located on a hill or, conversely, in a lowland, you may have problems with the distribution of water after rain or snow. However, they can be corrected artificially by building terraces or retaining walls. You can also consider the vertical layout.
Soil type and structure
It is important to maintain a balance of clay compounds and sand in the composition of the earth since most crops grow best in loamy soil. You can determine the structure by touch – take a handful of earth in your hand and squeeze it. If it crumbles, then it contains a lot of sand, if it bends, then clay.
Based on this indicator, you will determine whether it is possible to plant fruit trees on the site. If groundwater is up to two meters from the ground, this venture will have to be abandoned (or you can drain the part of the site where you want to plant trees).
Location of the site relative to the cardinal points
For many fruit plants and shrubs, the constant presence of a natural source of light is necessary. If the sun penetrates the territory of the proposed landings, there is no need to worry. If not, then it makes sense to grow shade-loving plants such as cabbage, beets, onions, garlic, herbs and others.
General tips for arranging a summer house
- Bring the site to a single style, and if you have the desire and funds, take up landscape design. It should be based on three principles – simplicity, convenience and compatibility. Landscape elements after design are both the vegetation itself and the decorative components. If you do not have much design experience, it is best to contact a specialist. Based on the relief and the site itself, he will select the appropriate option.
- Lay the lawn. It will give the site beauty and order, and in the hot summer, it will create coolness. It will take a lot of nerves to place the lawn and the subsequent care of it. Clear the area of stones and foreign objects, level all artificial bumps, and remove weeds. It is important that the surface is as flat as possible (natural terrain features do not count), for this use a roller. If all these works are carried out successfully, you can fertilize the land and start loosening it. The composition of the fertilizer depends on the type of soil. The lawn itself is recommended to be sown in early spring so that it is possible to complete the main work before the onset of winter. Use bluegrass as a seed. Plant it with the calculation of 20 g per 1 sq. m.
- Lay paths on the site, and build steps in places with uneven terrain. They will help you avoid trampling the landing area, keep your shoes clean, reduce the risk of falling, and also make it easier for you to navigate the country house. As a bonus, you will get a visually beautiful area. As a rule, paths are made of stone, concrete, brick or wood. Do them in the same style.


How to make your own flower lamp
A DIY flower lamp can be used to create a cozy, inviting home with an elegant, romantic look.
The design uses a flower-shaped lamp that lights up when you put it in the space where you’d like it.
The first step is to find a flower in your yard, or plant a flower bed in your garden.
Then you’ll need to cut a piece of PVC pipe and cut a hole in the side of the lamp to fit the hole.
Then attach the lamp.
The LED bulb comes in a few different colors, and you can even customize the color of the LED to match your design.
After you’ve done all that, it’s time to put the lamp on the lamp post.
If you’re a little lazy, you can use a flat-bottomed screwdriver to screw the post into place.
If you’ve never made a flower lamp before, this will be a lot of fun!
The lamp can make a pretty, cozy home that can be turned into a place to hang out, or even a bed.
The best part is that you can decorate it to match the look of your home.
The DIY flower-lit lamp is an affordable way to turn your own yard into a cozy and romantic spot for relaxing and creating memories.


Unlike other major European cities like London, Paris and even Madrid, Barcelona is not a city with a lot of green space. In fact, it’s one of the densest cities in Europe.
Spend some time getting to know the city, though, and you’ll find that there are some excellent parks to visit and relax in. You just need to know where to go.
Here are our top 4 parks to visit in Barcelona. All of them are accessible by eBike and some of them are featured in our eBike tours.
Parc de la Ciutadella
We’ll start with one of the most popular but also one of the most idyllic parks in Barcelona. The Parc de La Ciutadella is a centrally-located oasis that has lots of meandering trails around water features, greenhouses, monuments and gardens.
There’s a boating lake and Zoo to enjoy as well as the spectacular Cascada Monumental fountain (pictured above). At 280,000m2, It’s one of Barcelona’s biggest parks and the Barca equivalent of Central Park, or El Retiro.
There are also various historical sites to enjoy in the Park, which dates back to the 1700s (why we feature the park in lots of our eBike tours). And the impressive Catalan parliament buildings are here too.
Don’t forget to stop by and see the famous Arc de Triomf, near the park’s main entrance: This monumental archway is another must-see in central Barcelona.
The prominent hill that you see rising up in the distance when you’re in Barcelona is actually the Montjuïc ‘mountain’ – which includes lots of parks and attractions in one area. It’s one of the biggest overall green spaces in Barcelona.
There is a lot to see and do and you’d be advised to take some time to fit it all in. There are botanic gardens to relax in, a castle to explore, and this is also where several of the main Olympic venues from the 92 Olympics are. On a simpler note: the panoramic views over Barcelona from the various viewpoints are unbeatable.
Being on the top of a 185m hill, getting there is not quite as simple as some of the other parks in this article but you can arrive in style by Cable Car, or on the Funicular from Parallel metro. Or, if you want to really feel the ambience of the city, you could rent an eBike and travel through the city’s colourful neighborhoods to get there – and then ascend the hill with ease.
Note we also run a Montjuic eBike tour that features the main attractions in 3 hours.
This park is famous because of the Gaudi buildings and structures that the park is formed around. Photography of Barcelona viewed from Parc Güell’s Gaudi buildings is extremely popular online, so you might have already had a glimpse of the park already.
Don’t let the popularity put you off though, this park is a must-see. It includes Gaudi’s otherworldly architecture in harmony with nature and framing panoramic views over the city. The byzantine paths that snake around the park are full of atmosphere.
It can be crowded at weekends though, so if you get a chance then go during the week when the atmosphere is more intimate. Since 2013 there has been an entrance fee of around 8 Eur although if you’re a local living near the park you can get in free once you’ve applied for an entrance card from the city council!
Tip: the laid-back Parc del Guinardó has similarly stunning views over Barcelona. It doesn’t have any Gaudi buildings but can be a good alternative to Parc Güell with fewer crowds and an even bigger space to enjoy.
Parc del Laberint d’Horta
This park is magical because the gardens are set around an elaborate cypress maze (pictured above). The 300-year-old maze was designed by the architect Dominic Bagutti in the 1700s.
While the maze is the centerpiece, the well-maintained and peaceful gardens set around the labyrinth are worth enjoying too.
This is probably the least well known park in this article but that’s an excuse to go. If you head there midweek you can enjoy the enchanted atmosphere and get lost in the maze almost all by yourself.
The park’s located a little out of the way, on the outskirts of Barcelona near the neighborhood of Horta. But the metro station ‘Mundet’ is nearby and can be reached directly on the green line from Catalunya.
While Barcelona might not have the sheer amount of green space that other cities have, it certainly makes up for it in quality. Enjoy your stay and some of the interesting and tranquil green spaces that the city has to offer. And if you’d like to rent an ebike to get here or go around a tour to some of them, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Redevelopment of a shoreline wall
An unstable shoreline wall worried the owners of this land in Saint-Mathieu-de-Beloeil.
A new wall made of wooden beams and wall-type riprap was prepared by the Avizo Consulting team. It is a durable construction that ensures the longevity of the structure.
The team also planted a variety of hardy plants at the top of the embankment which blends in well with the environment and allows the restoration of natural vegetation in the riparian strip.

Study at USB
Changes in the central campus area are continuing in second stage which constist of revitalization of space between library and dorms. Also due to a rising demand for parking spots in university areal a new parking lot for 150 cars next to the Science and Technology center is being build, the construction should be done by the end of the year.
The 2nd stage is following improvements and changes done in campus area in last fall and this spring. A nice relaxing park for students and visitors was created between university assembly hall, Rectorate and Faculty of Philosophy building and Academic library.
„We plan to revitalizate the area between main sidewalk around Academic library towards dormitories and further to the building of Faculty of Economy. The main part of work should be finished this year and the whole project will continue until next april,“ said Lumír Luštický,a head of Investment department of University of South Bohemia.
This stage will constist of same work as first stage, this means building of new sidewalks, distribution of public lighting and lights, benches and relaxing areas. The final task will be planting of trees, shrubs and flowers. In this area we prepared and interesting feature, in central part we plan to plant a circle of meadow flowers. Also final work from stage 1 will be finished (eg. more benches, lighting, sheltered area).
The total amount for 2nd stage of project is aproximatelly 8,5 million czech crowns. The main purpose of these improvements in campus is to provide relaxing and pleasant enviroment which will make campus area more atractive and also serve as a place for various social and culture events. The project also responds to absence of resting zones in university campus. In the future a 3rd stage of project will focus on area near Faculty of Economy.

With the start of spring and summer comes warm weather, long days, and the perfect time to transform your backyard into your own personal oasis. But with so many options, it can quickly become overwhelming designing one that’s perfect for you and your family. To help, we’ve put together some tips to make the process a bit easier. Whether you’re designing a plan for the first time or working to update an outdoor space that came when you purchased your home, these will help make sure you’re utilizing every inch perfectly.
5 Tips to Help You Design Your Backyard
- Know Your Yard: Every space is different. Whether it’s knowing which areas get the most sun versus the most shade, which areas have changes in elevation or poor drainage, you’ll want to make sure you understand all of these traits in order to fully take advantage of them.
- Pick a Focal Point: To make the next step a bit easier, you’ll want to determine where you want the main focus of your backyard to be. This should be the place that draws the eye as soon as you enter your yard. Some ideas could be a pool, a sculpture, a covered patio or pergola for seating, a fireplace, or a lush vegetable garden.
- Create a Design: You want to set your project up for success, and the best way to do this is to go into it with a plan. Do you want to grow vegetables? Maybe you’re looking for a place where friends and family can gather? Or a mix of both! Answering these questions, along with making a basic sketch on paper centered around your focal point, will help you turn the ideas in your mind into a finished project.
- Choose the Right Plants: Before purchasing any plants, it’s important to do some research on the ones that will be the perfect addition to your yard. While native plants are a great first choice, you’ll also want to check and see how often they’ll need to be watered and if they prefer direct or indirect sunlight.
- Don’t Forget the Lighting: To create that special ambiance (and help increase safety) when the sun goes down, you’ll want to focus on adding the right lighting fixtures. For accent lighting, consider soft, warm lights like string lights.
Remember, your entire project doesn’t have to be done in a day. Patience is key here. But taking that first step and following these tips will soon have you creating a space that welcomes anyone who enters.


Nicknamed "Little Mountain," Queen Elizabeth Park is 500ft high, and boasts panoramic views of Vancouver and the North Shore Mountains. This 130 acre park, is also the second most visited in the city.
Having far from glamorous origins, Queen Elizabeth Park started out as a basalt quarry and was the source of foundation rock for early Vancouver roads. The quarry was permanently closed in 1911 and the scarred land sat idle until 1940 when it was dedicated as Queen Elizabeth Park after the much lauded 1939 visit of King George VI (the stuttering King) and his consort, Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) .
In 1948, Deputy Superintendent William Livingstone and the Park Board horticultural staff undertook the task of transforming the park by reclaiming the gullies left by the quarry operation and using them as the backdrop for plants, trees and shrubs, and for the placement of ponds and other water features.
In December 1969, Prentice Bloedel donated $1 million toward the development of a new plaza, covered walkways, fountains and the triodetic domed Bloedel Floral Conservatory, pictured below.
There's a posh restaurant called the Seasons and a host of activities, ranging from frisbee golf, tennis, Tai Chi to lawn bowling and regular golf, that's also available in the park. For more information, you can visit the park website.
I spent a lovely couple hours here on a sunny day last week, writing at a bench overlooking the city and the mountains. The sunken gardens, while still pretty, need to be better explored in the spring when the flowers burst to life.

- Designate county-owned parking lots and open space owned by WMATA as recreational parks and community event spaces
- Include guidance on how and when public parks will be funded, built, and managed
Public amenities, and parks in particular, attract employers, employees, residents and visitors to an area. They are “place makers.” As Bethesda buildings start reaching for the sky, the County must foster a strong sense of place on the ground through its public amenities requirements. Parks are the foundation for that work.
Unfortunately, the promotion of parks as the number one priority in the Plan leaves residents disillusioned, as the proposals do not match the vision. CBAR added up every fraction of an acre of proposed park and open space in the Plan, and applied two standard metrics to assess adequacy:
|Total proposed Parkland acreage at full build-out||18.49acres|
|Parkland area as a percentage of total acresCalculation = 18.49 / 457 acres in total Plan area||4%|
|Acres per 1000 peopleCalculation = 18.49 / 34.2||0.54|
As a priority, the parks proposal fails. At full build-out:
- Park land as a percentage of total Plan area acreage tops out at a mere 4%
- Acres per 1000 people is a dismal 0.54. For comparison, Washington DC provides 13.2 acres per 1000 people.
Also note that we are disappointed with the lack of implementation planning. On June 28, CBAR wrote in support of the Parks Impact Payment and Open Space Sending Site proposals. While many residents and communities support a specific dollar amount, CBAR never did. Instead, our support was focused exclusively on the logic of the pricing methodology proposed by the Planning Department:
|Moderate Cost Estimate * Proportional Developer Funding
Available BOZ Density
A pricing methodology is a necessary component in implementation planning. Disappointingly, the pricing methodology was never discussed in the Planning Board Worksessions. Instead, commissioners tossed about arbitrary numbers until they settled on $10 per square foot, and with that, the Board completed deliberations and approved the July 2016 Board Draft Plan 5-0. CBAR believes we need more substance in the Plan to assure residents that the small number of proposed greenways, pocket parks and plazas will be built.
We also strongly believe that larger recreational parks and community event spaces must be added to the Plan, and County-owned parking lots and the open space owned by WMATA are the places to develop them. These lots are economically attractive (to taxpayers) because (a) they are already owned by the public, and (b) as the last undeveloped spaces, the public saves in deconstruction expenses.
On the parks issue, what we witnessed at the Planning Board was not planning. We witnessed politics, and perhaps fatigue. We ask that the County Council revise the Plan to include guidance on how and when public parks will be funded, built and managed. Bethesda cannot afford not to have more recreational spaces or a parks implementation plan.

For sure Rome is the city of wonders of art, a stunning open-air museum where one can find masterpieces at almost every corner. However, just a few know that Rome is the greenest city in Italy and second in Europe only to Oslo, Norway.
Overall, the green spaces in Rome occupy more than 1,000 hectares (2471 acres).
In the heart of Rome, Villa Borghese Park extends for over 85 hectares (210 acres). On the other bank of the Tiber stands the Gianicolo Hill with its 20 hectares (50 acres). Not far there’s the biggest park in Rome, Villa Pamphili, with 200 hectares (494 acres).
And this is just the beginning!

If you would enjoy assisting communities to rehabilitate water catchments while developing productive natural resources, then the conservation earthworks sector may be for you.
The soil and water resources of Australia are limited, and their conservation is needed for the country's rural activities and protection of urban environments. Controlling runoff to prevent soil erosion, safely storing and distributing water on-site and rehabilitating eroded or disturbed areas are key elements in the management of properties and catchments.
Well-designed and constructed earthworks and revegetation have proven to be cost-effective and reliable measures for soil and water conservation. These works are a sound, long-term investment for private landholders and communities concerned about protecting land and assets for future generations.
Work could include earthwork-designing, excavation, dam and contour bank building, erosion control and revegetation of specific areas. Occupations include plant operator, field operations supervisor, works designer and erosion control technician.

The San Antonio Riverwalk, providing a serene setting amongst the hustle and bustle of such a lively city, has long welcomed visitors – in fact, it is the number one tourist attraction in Texas! But the conception of creating what has become such a must-see destination began with a natural disaster.
In 1921 after a disastrous flood along the San Antonio River, plans were developed for flood control of the river. Nothing came about until 1929 when Robert Hugman submitted plans for what would become The Riverwalk. In 1938, the “San Antonio River Beautification Project” began evolution into the 2.5 mile long River walk. Today, the San Antonio Riverwalk stretches approximately five miles along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath the city streets. The Riverwalk connects major tourist draws and is lined with restaurants, shops, lodging and entertainment. Take a stroll along the Riverwalk and soak in the scenic beauty of the waterfalls, waterways and lavish landscaping. The Riverwalk is open to the public 365 days a year and is host to many seasonal festivals – including the renowned San Antonio Fiesta in April and a variety of Christmas events, complete with caroling, parades and so much more!
The San Antonio Riverwalk is featured in the following Mayflower tours:

The Endogenous Development of Rural Areas
Lecturer(s): prof. dr. Potočnik Slavič Irma
- contemporary components of rural areas (space and population: urbanization impacts on rural areas; the last stages of deagrarization and returning to rural areas),
- the structure of rural areas: heritage of agrarian landscape and its transformation (homesteads, ground plan of villages, landscape fragmentation and amalgamation, common fields; modernization of rural areas, tourism and recreation, field operations),
- new development elements in rural areas: local self-government, ICT, protected areas,
- from production-scape to consumption-scape, marketing of rural areas,
- entrepreneurship in rural areas, supplementary activities on farms, regional economic cycles in rural areas.


Soil is a mixture of minerals and organic materials. It is the uppermost loose layer of the Earth’s crust. There are different types of soil classified on the basis of particle size and water retention capacity. The following are the types of soil. Let’s read.
Types of soil
Sandy soils have a relatively larger particle size than other types of soil. These soils generally have low nutrient content and low water retention capacity. Sandy soil is one of the most widespread soils in the world.
These soils are easily washed away by the rainwater leading to water erosion. This is the main reason for the low nutrient content in the soil.
Clay soils are soils with very fine particle sizes. The water retention capacity and nutrient content in these soils are very high. These soils become sticky when wet and break down when dry. Clay soil though has high nutrient content but is not suitable for plant growth because of slow water infiltration.
The particle size in silt soils is smaller than sandy soils but larger than clay soils. Due to the medium-sized particles, the water retention capacity is fair. Water erosion does occur in this soil when the amount of rainfall is high.
Loam soils are a mixture of sand, silt, and clay. In loam soils used for gardening and agriculture, the proportion of clay is the smallest. Sand and silt are generally in equal proportion. Loam soil has good nutrient value and good water retention capacity.
Which is the best soil for agriculture/gardening?
Loam soil is the best soil for agriculture/gardening. For specific crops/plants, specific types of “loams” can be created that have the required nutrient content. This is achieved by increasing either sand, silt, or clay in the mixture or by adding organic content.
Formation of soil in a nutshell
Soil is formed after the breaking up of rocks through various mechanical, chemical, and biological processes. The formation of soil takes thousands of years. The broken-down rocks mix with the organic matter to form soil.


Several years back my mom gave me a small clover plant in a cute little pot. It had dark purple leaves and delicate light purple flowers. I knew if my lovely plant wanted to stay that way, then I needed to get it in the ground, sooner than later.
You see…I don’t have a green thumb.
The only plants that survive around here are the ones with sheer will and drought tolerance. Seriously, we install only the hardiest plants and even then, some can’t go the distance. But, this little clover plant was special. Not only did it make the adjustment from pot to ground successfully, it began to thrive! It pokes its sleepy little head out of the mulch in early spring and hits the ground running until late fall. It has grown and expanded into a lush bed of purple wonder.
It makes me smile. I thank God, the creator of everything, for my little clover plant.


NWPA Greenways Plan
In August 2001, The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) released Pennsylvania’s Greenways: An Action Plan for Creating Connections. The plan launched the Pennsylvania’s Greenways Program, an initiative designed to preserve and develop an interconnecting network of recreational trails and environmental greenways throughout the Commonwealth.
As part of this initiative, Erie County partnered with seven other counties and the Northwest Regional Planning and Development Commission to create the Northwest Pennsylvania Regional Greenways Plan. The project included the development of eight individual county plans.
Below is the final draft for the Erie County Greenways Plan.

We love the great outdoors (and indoors) here at Bluestone National Park Resort. And so did many of the guests enjoying a short break with us over the weekend here in glorious Pembrokeshire as they helped plant our new Diamond Jubilee Wood.
Broadcaster and wildlife presenter Iolo Williams joined over 120 guests and friends to plant a a range of indigenous trees that will form a new woodland to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
Bluestone is one of just two Diamond Woods in Wales and 60 being planted throughout the UK this year as part of a scheme co-ordinated by the Woodland Trust.
The new wood will bring together the historic Canaston and Minwear woods for the first time in centuries, securing an important habitat for wildlife in the area.
We’re very proud of our environmental and sustainable credentials here at Bluestone National Park Resort. And this week we can reveal that work has started planting Wales’ very first ‘Diamond Wood’ to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee next year.
The Diamond Wood project is part of a Woodland Trust initative to plant 60 woodlands throughout the UK to mark the royal occasion.
Bluestone has started planting 35,000 trees at our 500 acre countryside estate. The project, which will take 12 months to complete, will join together two parts of the ancient Canaston Woods for the first time in centuries, creating 60 acres of new natural woodland habitat.
Planting will continue throughout next year, involving guests and the local community throughout the project.
It is the first of possibly three Diamond Woods to start planting in Wales and one of the first to be revealed in the UK.


St Stephen’s Green
SEVEN PARKS ACROSS Ireland have been awarded the Green Flag Award for 2017 this week.
Four parks in Dublin were awarded – St Stephen’s Green, Grangegorman Military Cemetery, the Phoenix Park and the Irish National War Memorial Gardens.

The Thought: A relaxing haven with a strong focus on organic and natural elements
The Design: Nail and beauty spa, Marinascape Building, Dubai Marina
The Creation: Full design, build, furnish, procure and project manage
N.A.I.L.S. approached Elemento to design a completely new concept and transform a drab shell and core concrete area into a relaxing haven that accentuates the client’s use of organic and natural products.
The spa consists of two levels. The top floor, which is dedicated to the beautifying of hands, feet and nails, and the bottom floor, which is more of a spa atmosphere dedicated to the holistic benefits of face and body treatments.
The stone flooring, the textured walls and the introduction of coral, moss, wood chippings, and grass in the displays all emphasise the natural and organic products of the spa. Also contributing to the theme is the palm leaf image on the exterior of the spa, the screen-printing of the flowers behind the pedicure chairs and the mixture of green shades and dark woods with soft lighting.
The luxurious pedicure chairs and individual curtained areas enable customers to feel pampered in a holistic and intimate setting.
Elemento artfully mixed all my envisioned ideas, colour preferences and taste, and added her unique creative flair, to build a spa that represents both bespoke and innovative design.

The strength of artistic design processes is evident in the intensive engagement between artistic proposals
and the commissioners’ ideas of design. Part of this is entering into the process and not evading the oppositions and contrary ideas, but rather using this energy to achieve a high level of quality together. The design
of the outside area of the Wesenufer Hotel & Seminarkultur an der Donau (EN: Seminar & Hotel Culture on the
Danube) shows a process of exchange extending over almost a year and the periodic re-invention of specific
arrangement possibilities for the terrace and the grounds extending toward the Danube, to make it possible
for guests to use them. KunstRaum Goethestrasse xtd worked here for the first time in an outdoor area and
accordingly collaborated with craftspeople and experts for materials.
Over a period of several months, the proposals for a garden area for short breaks and conference visitors were
transformed in the process together with the commissioners in the direction of a multi-use space for seminar
and event guests as well as for day visitors. During the day as well as in the evening, the area should invite people
to linger, relax and exchange. It should also be possible to expand it into a restaurant area as needed and be integrated into the everyday operation of the hotel with as little effort as possible. The visibility of the grounds of the
hotel should also be enhanced through the artistic design. The realization resulted in a mixture of self-produced
elements, individual pieces adapted and built by the craftspeople, and purchased furnishings. The design achieved
a balance of an homage to nature and art, which was reflected in the selection of colors, forms and materials.
The realization included seating areas with tables, a lounge area, a terrace made of larch wood, benches,
playground elements, a boules lane, light elements, book crates and herb crates as design elements. Adaptation measures including cutting the wooden fence in half, which had almost hermetically closed off the beer
garden. Reducing the wooden fence by half and decorating it with flower boxes resulted in opening the area up
and making it more visible. Wooden elements were designed in a shade of green that does not occur in nature.
In contrast to the color design, the presence of herbs adds a visual and olfactory highlight of nature throughout
the grounds. The boules lane was filled with sand, so that it does not look like a playground at first glance.
The outside area presented challenges for an artistic design to make it recognizable as such. In this way, the entire
area was changed and could be experienced in a new way, instead of simply being decorated with artworks.

For this landscape project, I decided to use some kind of mountain for the background, and see where to go from there. I noticed the sky was bland, so I decided to spice it up and implement space instead. I also added a few things to this to make it look more natural and interesting. I then thought it would be better (cool) if I gave the whole thing an interesting contrast. I finally decided to go with a glow that would match the space background, and illuminate over the whole landscape. The work as a whole is complimented by the glow over the whole thing. It adds a cool, darker feel to everything.

Outdoor wood benches vary in size, they could be small two seat benches, and go much larger. Then there are also benches that wrap around the tree, so that you don′t have to keep moving your chairs about and packing them away when you are done using them. The wood that is used varies from oak, shorea wood, white cedar, pine, or maple depending on the texture you are seeking. There is also the rustic look for outdoor wood benches. This look consists of the railings being made from white cedar or other choice woods. This look is very attractive in any garden setting. Shapes and sizes are very important, you do not want to over power the garden with too much wood, so try to go with outdoor wood benches that fit your style and motif of your garden.
Once deciding upon the furniture necessary to complete your outdoor seating area, one can choose to further customize the area by adding special cushions or pillows. Since homes are designed using multiple colors, different patterns and color assortments are made available to choose from. Accent your home with a brightly colored throw pillow or bring your garden to life by adding a floral print to your cushions. The options are endless when choosing due to the large quantity of products designed to ensure that each home reaches the look you desired. After browsing the selection of outdoor furnishings and decorations you will be sure to find the perfect seating to bring the empty area to life.


There are lots of areas to consider in beautifying a home but the most difficult areas are the gardens and lawns. One reasons for this is the scarcity of good ideas on working on these grounds. Luckily, you can find simple concepts like mini flags for the garden that you can use in beautifying your lawns. The Garden flags can add flavor and attractiveness to the lawn.
One should consider installing flags for beautifying your garden because they are effortless to make and personalize. Only basic items like fabric, glue and rod is required to make a garden flag. You may also choose to buy off-the-rack flags which can make it more convenient for you. Self-made flags however allows for personalization that can add more appeal to the flags. You can even put your name initials, specific designs or themes as a few examples. Flags are easier to put up and require small amount of time to erect compared with planting flowers. You can finish erecting a flag in one day. This is highly important particularly when you have limited time to perform the beautification project.
In addition, mini flags for the garden are very affordable to create and erect. In the present hard times for the economy, money is a big issue to most people who wants to beautify their gardens. Many people want to look for a cost saving and effective way to beautify their gardens. The materials and fabric that needs to be bought to create these garden flags is cheaper and this is why flags are becoming popular.


The interior of any home or business place should complement the exterior, and vice versa. This could be done by creating an artistically balanced appearance by using decorative outdoor lighting fixtures at different angles and points.
For instance, a canister sized lighting fixture would produce a loud and crass effect for a small garden or deck. To find the correct balance the area should be highlighted by utilizing smallish lights closer to the ground, on tree trunks or eaves of structures around.
Light designers along with manufacturers recognizing the potential of decorative outdoor lighting introduced shapes, styles and finishes in consonance with changing times. Decorative outdoor lights in neo-classical models, informal or fashionable and stylistic, produce a harmonious setting coordinating the inside with the exterior. Purpose also determines design of decorative outdoor lights..
For paths, lighting fixtures using top covers or shades are recommended as lighting is directed out and down but not about the face. There is nothing more painful than to be momentarily blinded as a result of instant glare. One doesn’t want a beacon on private property but a decorative light to concentrate on special features from the house as well as protect it.
In business places for instance hotels, malls, clubs, schools, colleges, the decorative outdoor lighting should be creative as well as practical. Compact fluorescent lighting, ground level moon lamps, post lanterns are generally some of the styles that help control glare as well as spill.
One more change from old to new is the effective use of decorative outdoor lighting with timers and photo cells. One can picture the gas-burning lights of 1800’s widely used to light streets. We have come a long way, but nostalgia plays a part because the same concept is incorporated in electricity bulbs that is today obtainable in flame shaped styles. , No matter what the pattern or style from opal shaped to diamond, vintage lamp posts and shades, lights with frosted exterior, guests and visitors ought to not be inconvenienced by faulty positioning and design selection. Instead of being inspired by neighbors, shop magazines or particular shape and color look at requirement, budget and suitable lighting.
If your pathway is lengthy and dimly lit then hang Chinese lanterns or if you are wanting to create a partition in the lawn, then plant tiki torches available in different sizes and color.

There’s a great misconception when it comes to solar LED lighting. Many people think that it can’t look appealing because it needs a panel that soaks up sunrays for power. Even though solar lighting needs to have an exterior panel pointed towards the sun, many manufacturers have discovered discreet ways to apply the panel to the unit. Resulting in a gorgeous fixture that can add beauty to many landscapes.
Investing in solar lighting not only for your indoors but your outdoors as well, is much more eco-friendly than other lighting solutions. Learn more about solar lighting solutions by reading this informative article by Solar Magazine.
With international solar lighting designs taking on different shapes, sizes, and colors, it is much easier for home owners to create gorgeous-looking landscapes in their yards while being eco-conscious. If you are looking for some innovative, modern, and unique ideas to spruce up your outdoor pathway; then follow some of our solar LED pathway lighting ideas.
PATHWAY LIGHTING FOR THE PUBLIC
Most estates, mansions, and parklands have areas dedicated to pedestrian crossings and walkways. Because this area is so big, it can become quite expensive investing in traditional lighting solutions. Owners end up spending so much money on lightbulbs and maintenance, that in some cases they stop investing in it. Leaving a dark and dangerous walkway for citizens and guests at night.
Another downfall to traditional lighting used in estates is that the lighting bulbs will lose their strength and brightness. Resulting in faded and dim shine at night.
Luckily, some manufacturers have designed excellent solar LED pathway lights that serve as a great alternative. These fixtures resemble the same design as that of a traditional lamp post for streets and pathways, with the only difference in that it is energized by solar energy.
Typically made from sustainable materials, these alternative street lamps are great for estates where many inhabitants walk around at night. Poles are made to a height as high as 15-20 feet. At the top of the pole a large solar panel will be placed that is directly facing the sun.
Usually, in the middle of the pole a battery enclosure is placed that will be charged throughout the day. This battery provides power to the LED lighting fixture. What’s great about this solution is that it looks great. Usually painted in a dark black or green, the lamp itself is easy on the eyes.
Depending on the size of the pathway or road, the light can be adjusted to distribute brightness in larger areas. For estates and communities that follow a modern style and exterior that is focused on simplicity and minimalism, solar LED lights can level up the aesthetics of the entire area.
To ensure you get the best out of the light solution you can consider a few different layout options. Just like traditional side walk lamp posts, you can evenly distribute lights along side the pathway.
LED light solutions make it easier to adjust the shape and size of light distribution onto the ground itself. Depending on your needs, you can request a light that distributes light between 1-3 meters. Some lights shine their rays in a complete circle, whilst others can even have a square distribution.
Another layout option is to hang the head of the lamp overhead of the road or pathway. The fixture and posts will create a sort of bridge over a pathway from which the lamp will shine light from directly above.
PATHWAY LIGHTING AT HOME
For smaller areas and pathways in your own backyard you can be a little more creative. There are loads of different smaller lamps available to provide eco-friendly lighting solutions throughout the night.
Cobble stone pathways create a natural atmosphere in any garden. For an inviting pathway up to the house or a quiet space in the garden, you can layout a long cobble stone pathway. The walking area can be more fitted and flatter, whilst the bordering area can be filled with loosely scattered stones.
Invest in short solar pathway lights and plant them amongst the cobble stones. Some designs feature cute mushroom style tops that will appear to look like they’ve sprouted from the ground.
Typically, these lights are planted in a zig-zag formation on either side of the pathway to provide even light distribution.
Light up the Steps
Add square shaped or small solar LED lights on both sides of a step. When placed directly opposite each other, the fixtures create a beautiful look on the steps. You can hide these lighting solutions in bordering bushes or gardens, which will give the appearance as if the fixtures are non-existent.
This will provide a classic light solution on steps going towards the front porch or leading down to the parking bay.
To fit your specific style or outdoor aesthetic, you can invest in a lamp that has different metal designs on. When cut in different patterns and shapes it will cast gorgeous shadows onto the pathway.
Many of these lighting solutions come in packs of 6-12, which will give you the opportunity to place them closely together next to the pathway. It will create a unison pattern all along the walkway enhancing the look of your outdoor area.
For more information and ideas on different smaller light fixture ideas, check out these gorgeous exterior design examples: https://za.pinterest.com/landscape_l/pathway-lighting/.
Do ensure that outdoor LED pathway lamps are durable and water proof.
Moving forward, all citizens should do their part in creating an eco-friendlier future. Since the generation of electricity is one of the main causes of global warming, all home and property owners should be more aware of their usage and implementation.
Instead of trying to light up an entire backyard, estate pathway, or street with electricity driven lamps, you should consider getting fixtures powered by solar energy. Not only is it a great financial solution, but also extremely beneficial for the environment while looking aesthetically pleasing.

The patio materials are the physical basis of this alfresco living room, where you and your family can start creating that perfect outside place for you and your family. Your choice can significantly impact the look, longevity, and utility of your favorite home accessory.
Before building your patio
Consider the finished space before committing to a patio style. You probably know where it will be and how big it will be, so get a chair, take it outside, and place it where you want it. Then take a seat and visualize each material in your head.
Your patio should enhance your lifestyle and accent your home and scenery. Consider combining paving materials if you have a vast surface to deal with; some of the most excellent patio ideas involve two or more. Inlaid borders can visually divide a space for lounging from the outdoor kitchen when several materials are used.
Consider which materials would best bring your perfect design to life in terms of aesthetics and practical considerations, such as maintenance needs and cost, once you’ve conjured up your ideal plan.
Many homeowners prefer to pour concrete for their patios because it is structurally strong, affordable, and can be embossed or colored to seem like more expensive paving materials. It works best in mild to warm locations where frost heave isn’t an issue.
Materials for your patio
Bricks, which come in various hues, provide a welcoming and appealing patio. This classic patio type often costs more than one made of concrete, not only because of the materials but also because of the time involved in setting, leveling, and grouting each brick by hand.
Pavers, often made of cement, cinder, or stone, are at the top of the DIY patio wish list because of their inexpensive cost and ease of installation – you’ll be grilling in no time.
Stone’s beautiful appearance comes at a higher cost — especially if it’s not locally sourced — but it’s hard to beat for natural charm. Flat, randomly shaped stones create a soothing and meandering look, but uniform-cut slabs of granite, travertine, slate, or bluestone may make a formal patio suitable for any backyard.
Tile, which comes in various materials such as ceramic, glass, porcelain, terra cotta, and natural stone, is used to create attractive mosaic patio patterns that are cool to the touch in hot regions. Because tile is so thin, it necessitates using a concrete slab.


The East Loop Trail is unique from the other trails at Sleepy Hollow. The easternmost side of the loop has gentle hills. In the northeast corner you’ll ride through an area of large beech and maple trees and cross over a bridge. The trail will open to a large prairie meadow. You can take a trail to the top of one of the hills and enjoy the vista. The southernmost end of the trail winds through Spruce Hollow, an area of large Norway and White Spruce trees.


To help me plan how we are going to layout our yard. Right now there is a bunch of dirt back there. Planning on Sod, fire pit, maybe a pond.
I'm just looking for some kind of "free" program where I can lay everything out, foot by foot and get a good idea of how things will fit.
And yes. I'm too lazy to go out there, and draw it myself.

Trees, shrubs, and landscaping elements can help you save money in your Carrollton, Georgia, home. If you are thinking about doing some major yard work this season, make the most of it and take advantage of smart landscaping design for some energy saving benefits.
How Trees Help You Save Energy
By blocking sunlight, trees help to keep your home cool. The cooler your home, the less work your AC will have to do. Factors such as the amount of insulation can help to reduce the level of heat gain. But overall, less will be required of your cooling system if your home is well-shaded. When you don’t need to reduce the thermostat setting and when the AC cycles on less frequently, you save more.
What to Plant
You will be able to find mid-sized trees in your local nursery, but otherwise, you will have to wait a while to reap the benefits of your planting efforts. There are some relatively fast-growing plants that will allow you to start getting benefits in around five years. What works will depend on the kind of soil in your area.
Maple trees are pretty popular in our region. “Green Vase” Zelkova is another good option. Consult an expert for the best type of tree for your area. The right trees will provide year-round benefits. When the trees shed in the fall, they will allow sunlight through to help warm your home.
Where to Plant
Planting trees near windows can help to block the amount of sunlight that streams through glass panes. Even in a casual drive around your neighborhood you will notice that yards with a lot of trees have a lot of shade. Strategically placed, these trees can effectively reduce the amount of sunlight reaching your home.
It is a good idea to incorporate landscaping design with a new home construction. For more ways to save energy and increase air conditioning efficiency, contact the experts at Merrell & Associates, Inc. today. Call us at 770-872-4171 to learn more about our services or to schedule an appointment.


The City of Morristown has again been awarded the Tree City Award from the Arbor Day Foundation. For two decades now, the foundation has recognized the efforts of the Morristown Tree Board, staff, and community volunteers.
The Tree City USA program was founded in 1976 to celebrate cities that were committed to growing their urban tree canopy. In partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, USDA Forest Service and the National Associate of State Foresters, the program provides communities with the foundation to manage and expand their tree cover. The City enrolled in the program 20 years ago, leading to concentrated efforts to plant and maintain an abundant tree canopy in Morristown.


Albany, NY – Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Chief of Staff Sean Mahar, and Albany Water Department Commissioner Joseph Coffey hosted a ribbon cutting today to highlight the completion of the Tivoli Preserve Stream Daylighting Project.
“It’s exciting to unveil these substantial improvements to the Tivoli Lake Preserve which will improve water quality, aid in flood prevention, and provide enhanced access to this important outdoor recreation area located in the heart of the West Hill Neighborhood,” said Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan. “Restoring Patroon Creek to a natural condition was an integral part of revitalizing this vital community resource in our City, and I look forward to having the Preserve available for recreational and educational use.”
“The Patroon Creek daylighting project is an excellent example of Governor Cuomo’s comprehensive statewide efforts to improve water quality, reduce the impacts of flooding, and restore natural areas,” said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos. “DEC is proud to partner with the city of Albany on this science-based, sustainable solution that will serve as a model for future projects to benefit other communities across New York.”
“EFC is proud to have partnered with the City of Albany to support this important community project,” said Maureen Coleman, Acting President and CEO of EFC. “The daylighting of Patroon Creek provides significant water quality and natural resource improvements while enhancing Tivoli Park Preserve’s beauty and recreational opportunities for the benefit of the West Hill, Arbor Hill and West End sections of the City. Projects like this would not be possible without Governor Cuomo’s commitment to water quality and resiliency across the State.”
“The Tivoli preserve is a hidden gem in this city filled with recreational opportunities for residents and tourists,” said 4th Ward Common Council Member and President Pro Tempore Kelly Kimbrough. “The Patroon Creek daylighting allows the community to enjoy this rich natural attraction and aids in stormwater management. Big thanks to the Albany Water Department and DEC for turning this vision into reality.”
“The Tivoli Park Nature Preserve has been a hidden gem in the West Hill Community,” said 5th Ward Common Council Member Jahmel Robinson. “The investments being made will ensure that the West Hill community and residents of the City of Albany will be able to enjoy it for generations to come.“
Tivoli Preserve Daylighting Project Background:
During 2019, the green infrastructure practice of Stream Daylighting was used in Tivoli Park Preserve to restore a 1,500-foot portion of Patroon Creek to a naturalized condition. The section of creek previously flowed underground through a large pipe. During the process of daylighting, the pipe was removed, and a stream corridor was constructed in its place. The new stream will help reduce flooding, improve water quality, and create important habitat for various species of aquatic life and pollinator species; all the while providing a unique recreational opportunity for the surrounding community.
The removed clay tile pipe was over 90 years old and deteriorating. Water flow often exceeded the capacity of the pipe, creating fast water flows that would flood and washout trails, erode stream banks and destroy existing habitats. The new green infrastructure will control water flow in the creek and any overflow during wet weather conditions will enter Tivoli Lake. This will mitigate localized flooding and will also greatly improve the water quality of Tivoli Lake and help prevent the overgrowth of algae.
The Project cost approximately $3 million, with the bulk of the funding provided from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) in the amount of $1 million under a Water Quality Improvement Grant, and from the Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) in the amount of $1.1 million under a Green Infrastructure Grant Program.
The Project created a half-mile long path along the creek, complete with educational signage, which will connect to other trails within the Preserve that are scheduled for completion this fall. These assets will prove valuable for outdoor recreation and science education in the Preserve that has previously been underutilized.

“Healing Stay KOSMOS Resort”
Mythical and futuristic at the same time, the Healing Stay Kosmos resort sits atop a steep peak on Ulleung Island in South Korea. The island – born from a volcanic eruption 2.5 million years ago – is home to immaculate sea caves, waterfalls and forests. The_System Lab and lighting designers EON SLD drew from the majestic nature of the location in their design. With undulating, pristine white surfaces, the buildings mimic the waves of the sea beneath.
The area consists of two main structures: Villa Kosmos, whose interiors take to the universe and space as a theme, and Villa Terre, which symbolizes the earth. The lighting concept plays an important role in the design. The team emulated natural light found on the island through artificial lighting, so that guests can enjoy the surrounding nature fully. With this setup, the team accentuated the organically formed architecture and provided minimum brightness at night to maximize visual comfort.
Exterior lighting references sun rays through forest canopies and moonlight reflected on the waves, while the interior fixtures are placed behind the partially perforated ceilings to create an undisruptive atmosphere. By carefully considering the natural light on and around the site, the designers ensured a gentle and harmonious atmosphere, where guests can appreciate the panoramic sights.

We are now asking Co-op members and their families to take a look at the plans and provide feedback over the next two weeks. We are not looking for feedback that proposes substantial changes as the design brief has already been agreed by Co-op members, but rather feedback on specific features of the plans is welcome; for example, the proposed height of fences.
Your feedback will be considered by the Gardens and Grounds Sub-Committee and a revised design and specification will be produced. It will be this design that will be put forward to a vote by the membership at a Special General Meeting (to be scheduled in March) before redevelopment works commence in the Spring.
The consultation closes Tuesday 20th February 2018. Please submit your feedback no later than this date.
