Designed to held a specific amount of water indefinitely. Sometimes called a wet pond or wet detention basin or storm water management pond, it is an artificial lake with vegetation around the perimeter, and includes a permanent pool of water in its design.
A low lying area that is designed to temporally hold an amount of water while slowly draining to another location. Sometimes called a “dry pond,” which temporarily stores water after a storm, but eventually empties out at a controlled rate to a downstream water body.
We have built many. They are for flood control when large amounts of rain could cause flash flooding.

On June 8, the new Watershed Coordinator for the Indian Lake Watershed Project, Abbi Hastings, and her volunteers gathered at the Moundwood boat ramp to install a large Floating Treatment Wetland. A smaller floating wetland was also placed on Pew Island.
These floating wetlands are created on a rubber mat that is safe to place in the water. The mat has holes in which the wetland plants are placed. All the plants chosen for the wetlands are non-invasive Ohio wetland plants. As the plants grow they take up nutrients from the water in the lake. Their roots will act as a filter for sediments entering the lake and a habitat for fish and other lake wildlife. These wetlands can also provide a wave dampening effect on shorelines and help decrease bank erosion.
Thank you to the volunteers, Logan County Soil and Water, Kiersten McManan, Dick and Patty Kritzler, Jo Lee Winebrenner, Jeff Abrams and Board Members Sharon DeVault and Sandy Helgeson.

Our clients had been thorough in their preparation; they had the position, size and approximate shape of their proposed pond worked out. It was to be situated in a meadow to the rear of their property. The two acre site had been left to grass and the owners felt a feature was required. They had always wanted a wildlife pond.
Within an initial consultation, we surveyed the proposed area and discussed at length what we wanted to achieve from the project. This gave us enough information to go away and come up with a proposal that would include a plan, schedule of works and estimate of cost.
The pond was to be 15 metres at the longest point, 7.3 metres at the widest point and to depth of no more than 0.6 metre. And when full the pond would accommodate some 6200 gallons of water. There are to be no fish, planting was to be indigenous, a boggy area was to be incorporated within the rear area and we need to attract and accommodate all manner of wildlife. The lawn was to run to the ponds edge, some spoil was to be redistributed around the pond and some to be taken to the bottom of the meadow.
Work commenced in December and we were incredibly fortunate with the weather whilst the project was undertaken. Within the two weeks it took to create the pond it was certainly cold, but dry. To appreciate what I mean within the accompanying storyboard there is a wintry photograph of the pond, this was taken only a week after completion!
The pond plants were added in April and the latest photographs were taken in June 2009, by which point lots of wildlife had either found their new home or at the very least a convenient spot to stop off for a drink. At a time when ponds and wetlands are one of the fastest disappearing habitats in the UK, many species of wildlife are struggling to thrive. A wildlife pond will not only provides a beautiful and evolving picture, but will help to re-establish places for our freshwater wildlife to continue to exist.

If you want to make your yard transform from being basic to elegant, landscape lighting can help a lot. However, it can be a bit overwhelming to undertake a lighting plan for your landscaping.
Like a lot of things in our lives, less is more. This can also be true when it comes to landscape lighting. Of course, you might assume that you have to light up every single thing, from tree to detail to every nook and corner. However, this will wash out your lawn, aside from having an expensive energy bill.
Here are some landscape lighting in Wilmington tips you can follow:
Lighting a Landscape
You should not feel intimidated. There are a lot of kinds of lights and a lot of areas to install them. Grabbing a high-powered and good flashlight with a dimming optic is one of the greatest tip you can follow to plan the project. You can use this flashlight to light up your lawn at night and experiment. Make sure you play with the light. You should see what looks great and what looks bad.
Here are some lighting effects that you can consider:
This is the reverse method of silhouetting. Putting the light between the item being lit and the main vantage point. The light source is aimed at the item. However, this only works if you’ve got a flat surface or a wall behind the feature being lit. These surfaces will capture the shadows produced. This lighting can produce a moody and softer effect.
This is an excellent effect if you want to showcase dramatic shapes you may have hiding in plain daylight. Install the light source behind the item. Then, light toward where the primary vantage point will be. You’ve got to ensure the light source itself can’t be seen.
This is utilized as a safe passage to dark stairs and an accent to architectural details. Step and deck lights are directly installed into the decking or hardscape of a yard. Also, they can be utilized for washing down the light in stone walls. They can also light up entertainment areas.
One of the most basic types of landscape lighting is up lighting. it is utilized to generate drama with a tree or taller structure. You can opt to highlight the tree’s trunk.
Things to Light in the Landscape
So, what should you leave in the dark and what should you light? There are several things you have to consider. This includes:
A meandering pathway or a deck with stairs has to be lit to guarantee that you can move around the area without any risk of injury.
You can add drama to places that may not stand out during the day. When grazed with shadow and light, a mere stone wall can take on an entirely new persona at night.
You should recognize features that you like in your yard. Perhaps it is a tree or a pond. You can help show off these features if you highlight them using landscape lighting.


Colombo's biggest park, Victoria Park, was laid out by the British in the 19th century in memory of Queen Victoria. In the 1950s it was renamed Viharamahadevi Park to honor the mother of King Dutugemunu.
The Viharamahadevi Park is notable for its flowering trees, which bloom in March, April, and early May. The park is also home to Bo, Ebony, Mahogany, and Sal and Lemon Eucalyptus trees. There is an enormous profusion of climbing plants and rare orchids.
A small children's zoo is located in the middle of the park.
Opposite the park, you can see Colombo's Town Hall, which overlooks the park from the northeast.
Opening hours : 8am to 6pm

October 1, 2019 (Ezega.com) -- The government of Ethiopia launched the first phase riverside green development project in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, October 1, 2019. The project is underway to create a beautiful and healthy environment for residents of the metropolis and tourists, according to the government.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed officially launched the first phase with 12km long river side development of the planned 56km of ‘Beautifying Sheger Project.’
The $1 billion development project will run along the two biggest rivers in Addis Ababa – stretching 23.8kms and 27.5kms respectively – all the way from the mountains of Entoto through to Akaki river.
The project essentially aims to lift the image and potential of the capital and create jobs in the project phase. It also aims to create riverside economies, increase urban tourism, and provide the city’s residents with areas for respite.
The first phase of project runs from Entoto to Bambis Bridge and will feature open space for recreation, artificial lake, and wedding venue on 42 square meters of area in front of Sheraton Addis hotel.
While launching the project, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said, “No force can stop Ethiopia’s journey towards prosperity.”
“As part of this project, flowers will be planted all the way from Bole international Airport to Arat kilo and the city will have greenery as beautiful as we witnessed in Dubai,” PM Abiy said.
According to the premier, the government has finalized the design and is in search of funds to build running lane that could accommodate 100 thousand people during weekends. “By doing this, we will make Addis Ababa beautiful and be able to attract tourists,” Abiy said
The first phase of the project will be built by the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) with a grant secured earlier this year from the Chinese Government.
“Ethiopia’s existence and prosperity relies on the hard work and commitment of its people,” he added.
Beautifying Sheger Project is a three-year initiative of the Prime Minister aimed at elevating the city to a site of urban tourism leveraging on rehabilitation of the water bodies.
The project is also expected enhance the well-being of city dwellers by putting river flooding in check and creating public spaces, parks, bicycle paths and walkways along the river banks.
The first phase “Beautifying Sheger Project’ is expected to be completed in May 2020.

The “Giardino d’Inverno” Restaurant of the Hotel Papadopoli is a continuation of the adjacent park, the oldest in Venice. The Park was built on the site of a demolished convent, the property Corfu-born entrepreneurs, and that is why it has the Greek name. Extravagant parties for the nobility held among exotic flowers and rare animals had been taking place in it during 19th century.
The park was reduced in size when the Rio Novo canal was excavated in 1933. Giardino Papadopoli has children playground.
In the 70s the Winter Garden has been designed by Pietro Porcinai, one of the most outstanding Italian landscape architect of the twentieth century. A variety of 36 different tropical plants pays a tribute to the spirit and structure of the ancient, romantic park Papadopoli, visible beyond the window.
The Papadopoli Gardens has been ordered by Count Spiridione to celebrate the love to his beloved Teresa. In Porcinai’s vision his Winter Garden becomes a declaration of botanic love between the inner and surrounding landscape…”
Porcinai was involved in vary projects around the world, mentioning among many a Place Beaubourg, in front of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the intricate relocation of the Egyptian temple of Abu Simbel for UNESCO, and other parks created in various cities of Saudi Arabia.


The 2008 Environmental structure of the year special award to a Finnmap Consulting Oy object
The Eläintarha skateboarding park, Micropolis, has received a special award in the 2008 Environmental structure of the year competition. The objective of the competition, organized by Rakennustuoteteollisuus RTT and Puutarhaliitto, is to present high quality environmental systems in which good design and implementation have helped create an esthetical and sustainably functional environment.
The judges praised the skateboarding area, located next to the Helsinki Eläintarha sport field, as unique in Finnish circumstances. The various, multi-shaped, curved and rectangular features are praised, as they give the area a sculptural atmosphere.
The requirements of young users and the demand set by heavy wear were considered in the structural design of the park. The park, which was partly designed as environmental art, has received large acceptance by the skaters.

What makes Salvia Luxury Collection Suites holiday homes special is the fact that caves were built, taking advantage of the natural slope of the ground.
The goals of this architectural choice were their complete harmonization with the simple and barren natural landscape of the area. Another important benefit is the reduction of their environmental footprint since the cave construction works in favor of energy savings and natural thermal insulation and air conditioning of the interiors, despite the very hot and dry climate of the area.
Apart from their modern, simple but at the same time luxurious interior design, special attention has been paid to the outdoor areas and the landscaping. Each suite has a private pool and an outdoor seating area with plantations of endemic plants, from where one can gaze for hours at the Libyan Sea or enjoy starry nights in complete silence.


In the past couple of blog posts, we have actually compared stoned pavers to stamped concrete vs. concrete blocks. In this one, we’re mosting likely to take a glance at some other choices also. Let’s face it; there are some people available who don’t such as the way that concrete appearances. There is no demand to enter into a debate about it – there are a lot of methods to deal with those people. The bright side is, there are some ways to avoid several of that inconvenience if you’re working with stamped concrete vs. pavers.
Let’s begin by taking a look at a few of the adverse aspects of pavers. Some people say that they’re chilly as well as harsh. They are likewise susceptible to splintering and also splitting. This does not seem as well enticing when you’re attempting to sell a residence with a great deal of character and also a big cost. If you have issues with cold then you might want to think about stamped concrete vs. pavers.
That brings us to the next problem that most people have – stonework is labor extensive and also hard to install. Some building contractors argue that you can prevent all of the troubles that include pavers by simply driving right over them. This might not be true. It really relies on what you wish to make with the area. You can drive over a paver and not have to worry about it, but you might find yourself discouraged by the time it takes to lay the actual footing for the driveway.
On the other hand, stamped concrete has a stunning appearance that does not require much effort. You can also pick different colors and also patterns for a smooth appearance. Pavers still have their location, however concrete can usually be a better alternative. If you actually think about it, though, you’ll probably invest even more time considering which flooring product to make use of – pavers or concrete? So here are some manner ins which you can compare stamped concrete vs. pavers.
When you utilize pavers, people can tip over them as well as it’s normally not as recognizable because you’re paving the location around the yard. Lots of people who make use of concrete will also have something they can stroll on if they obtain tired of the floor covering, whereas many resident who utilize concrete will certainly need a tipping rock.
There are a great deal of advantages to making use of stamped concrete in your house. First off, this is an attractive look. Pavers may have a really basic look, yet marked concrete has a very distinct look that can produce a spectacular impact in any kind of room. Another benefit is the sturdiness. You might need to change it every couple of years, however making use of stamped concrete means it will certainly last for a long time without being spoiled. The way that pavers can break down is since they get wet with rain or other water yet stamped concrete keeps smooth no matter what.
When you’re selecting what product to make use of for the beyond your home, you require to take into consideration a few things. If you survive a private road, you most likely don’t want to make use of pavers, as they can be damaged by automobiles driving by. On the other hand, if your home has a fish pond or some kind of water function, concrete might perhaps be a far better selection. Slate can be unsafe, yet a stamped appearance just looks really trendy when landscape design around a pool or waterfall.
There are many aspects to consider when selecting what you intend to utilize for the outside of your home. Slate can provide you a distinct look, yet you do need to make certain it’s going to stand up. You can review other individuals’s point of views on the Internet, yet constantly keep in mind that it’s your residence and also the decision should be your own.

The Newt Conservation Partnership are creating wildlife-friendly habitat across Milton Keynes to benefit great crested newts and other species. To date, the Partnership has made 16 clean water ponds (as well as making improvements to terrestrial habitat) in Milton Keynes, with several more sites in the pipeline. We are currently looking into improving wildlife habitat at Bradwell Fields – please read on for more details.
This habitat creation is part of the new Government-approved approach to the conservation of great crested newts called District Licensing. Naturespace (www.naturespaceuk.com) receives funds from developers who may be impacting great crested newts. The majority of these funds are then given to the Newt Conservation Partnership to create, manage and monitor compensation habitat. Ponds are created at a ratio of at least four ponds created for every occupied pond lost to development. A strength of this scheme is the long-term monitoring of the new habitat. Only two years after the scheme began, great crested newt presence has been recorded in nearly two-thirds of compensation sites. Monitoring is also providing evidence of the wider benefits of our work for priority species like the common toad and other freshwater wildlife. The scheme also includes management of the newly created or restored habitat to ensure that the habitat remains in a good quality for wildlife.
We have been working with Bradwell Parish Council to discuss options to improve the habitat available for wildlife at Abbey Field, off Abbey Road. We are hoping to improve the habitat available for great crested newts and other wildlife by creating a new pond, improving the grassland diversity (encouraging wildflowers), and planting additional trees and shrubs. This will take place on the area south of the footpath and will be designed to ensure it continues to be an enjoyable place for locals to walk and appreciate nature. The works to the pond and its surrounding habitats are being planned, funded, and developed as part of an active collaboration between the Newt Conservation Partnership and Bradwell Parish Council. With the support of Milton Keynes Council’s ecology team and the Community Infrastructure Levy, the Parish are also investing several thousand pounds in to restoring and enhancing the site’s value to wildlife. The plans will see Abbey Field transform in to an even more biodiverse, attractive, and valuable landscape, ensuring our landscape supports both local residents and the natural environment.
The existing pond has an invasive, non-native plant called New Zealand pygmy weed Crassula helmsii. This freshwater plant has a negative impact on native plant species and can form dense stands, resulting in reduced biodiversity and water quality. The plant is easily spread as it can regrow from tiny fragments which can be brought in on plants from garden centres, or on wildlife, dogs or people moving between ponds. Unfortunately, once this plant has spread into a pond, it is very difficult to eradicate. Accordingly, the basin of the Bradwell Fields pond which has this plant present will need to be drained and filled in as this is the only way to prevent the spread of this ecologically damaging plant. Our longer term plan is then to dig a pond next to the low lying adjacent area which will be designed to benefit a wide range of wildlife. A management plan for the pond, trees and grassland will be set up, and long-term management funded to ensure it remains high quality habitat.
You can find more about our work at www.newtpartnership.org.uk If you have any queries about the habitat work at Abbey Field, Bradwell Village, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com

As recommended by the Faculty Task Force on Community Engagement in 2030 Planning, MIT commissioned an urban design study to help us envision the future of our east campus and the Kendall gateway area. An important element of the study process was the gathering of thoughts and ideas from the MIT and Cambridge communities.
Goals of the study
The overarching goal of the East Campus Urban Design Study was to help MIT create a long-range development framework to shape future academic, residential, and commercial uses for its properties in the Kendall Square area, with the goal of creating a vibrant gateway for MIT’s east campus.
Specific goals for the Kendall Square initiative include:
- Create a gateway that is emblematic of MIT in the 21st century, and that engages and enriches Kendall Square
- Enhance the existing Kendall Square innovation cluster by providing space for new innovative academic initiatives and commercial enterprises
- Create a lively and sustainable urban environment by developing a destination gathering and arrival place with amenities, services, and active streetscapes for all
- Establish a vibrant new gateway and connective links between MIT, the central business district, and the Cambridge community
- Create an overall development plan that is comprehensive, feasible, and economically viable
Developing the study
After commissioning the urban design study, MIT assembled a project team lead by Mack Scogin Merrill Elam Architects and Michael Van Valkenburgh Landscape Architects. As a foundation for developing its recommendations, the team relied on analysis developed by Elkus|Manfredi Architects and the City of Cambridge during the rezoning effort, the work of a School of Architecture and Planning faculty design group tasked with examining the Kendall area, and input from the community. After hosting a series of forums to gather MIT and Cambridge community ideas, the design team submitted their final report in March 2014.
Final report documents, March 2014
- East Campus Urban Design Study Report: [Part 1 PDF], [Part 2 PDF], [Part 3 PDF]
- East Campus Urban Design Study: Appendix A - Sustainability Report [PDF document]
Design team selections
A steering group, co-chaired by Provost Schmidt and Executive Vice President and Treasurer Israel Ruiz, will guide the next steps in the context of the recent findings of the Graduate Student Housing Working Group. (The Working Group issued their final report in May 2014.)
Based on this body of work, MIT issued Requests for Proposals and in September 2014 initiated work with several design teams to create building concepts for the east campus gateway area.

Gonzales Bay Grotto
Greenway Studio Architecture + Integrated Arts
In this remarkable project, which was voted as one of Dwell Magazine’s ‘Most Popular Houses Of 2023’, Architect Bruce Greenway was tasked with adding an extension to a home perched on bedrock. The solution was to use rock fragments from the bedrock to construct a gracefully curving wall that extended into the house, thus enabling the creation of a private wing, designed for both work and leisure.
Inside, local Douglas fir was the main material used. A bespoke maple table served as a work-from-home hub or a gathering spot. Connecting doors, with floor-to-ceiling glass, allowed the new space to be bathed in natural light. Douglas fir was also used to create unique light fixtures to adorn the space.
Generous overhangs and thick insulation were used to ensure year-round comfort, regardless of weather conditions. Also, to satisfy the homeowners’ love of the sound of rainwater splashing onto the rock, a trickling fountain feature was crafted – one that collected and recycled rainwater from the rooftop, which then was sent down a spout onto the bedrock.
The new addition also features a “living roof” incorporating native mosses, grasses, sedums, and other indigenous plant life.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share some new photographs of their family as they visited the RHS Back to Nature Garden at the #ChelseaFlowerShow on Sunday afternoon. The photographs were taken by @mattporteous. The #RHSChelsea Back to Nature Garden, designed by The Duchess and award-winning landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White of Davies White Landscape Architects, is a woodland setting for families and communities to come together and connect with nature. Her Royal Highness is a strong advocate for the proven benefits the outdoors has on physical and mental health, and the positive impact that nature and the environment can have on childhood development in particular. Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped The Duchess gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate @The_RHS Back to Nature Garden. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den. The Duchess told Monty Don in an interview for the BBC: “I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children. I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”

Using Travertine Tiles Outdoors
When doing landscaping outside, travertine is always a good option. This is due to its ability to withstand heat and it’s long lifespan. It has has a rustic look that is perfect for the outdoors. However, travertine is often underutilized; this is possibly due to people not knowing much about it. There are a number of ways that you can utilize travertine outside.
Travertine tiles are great for gardens. They can be used ornamentally or they can be stacked on top of each other to create a wall. The warm brown color of the travertine goes well with the soil and plants. The wall can also have the practical use of keeping out small animals.
If you have a big enough backyard, it can be helpful to create a path. Travertine tiles are perfect for paths thanks to their sturdiness and their thickness. They are a good choice due to their color, which helps them stand out in the grass. You could purchase multiple shades of travertine and make a pattern out of the pathway. Remember to wear shoes on them, because they can be a little bit gritty.
Travertine is the perfect material for a pool deck. This is thanks to its ability to reflect the sun’s heat rays, allowing it to stay cooler than most materials. It is also slip resistant due to its gritty texture. This is important when picking a material for pool decks, as swimming pools can be a hotspot for accidents and injuries.
Much like the pool deck, travertine is a great material for patios due to its ability to stay cool in hot temperatures. This allows family members and guests to take off their shoes without having to worry about burning their feet.

Harris Shoals Park Renewal Project 2020
The City Council’s Parks & Streets’ Committee has established the "Harris Shoals Park Renewal Project 2020 Subcommittee" which has been charged by the Mayor to make recommendations to the City Council that would create a park atmosphere that is environmentally sustainable and ecologically sensitive and which offers both active and passive recreational opportunities.
In an effort to address this goal, the Subcommittee established a relationship with the Bob Smith Planning Group (no relation to Mayor Bob Smith) and solicited the help of Jane Bath, an Oconee County resident with a wealth of knowledge in sustainable and environmentally-friendly landscape techniques, and interested citizens.
In June 2020, the Subcommittee hosted a community drop-in at City Hall and received public input into the Master Plan.
On October 21, 2020, the Subcommittee presented the Master Plan to the Mayor and City Council with a plan to formally adopt after the public was able to review the plan and provide comment.
On February 10, 2021, the Subcommittee will meet at 5:30 PM in City Hall and via Ring Central for a public presentation and discussion of the proposed Harris Shoals Park Master Plan. Click Harris Shoals Master Plan Report to view. The meeting will include an effort to identify priorities and resources, such as citizen volunteers who might assist with implementation once the plan is adopted by City Council. Members of the design team will be in attendance to make the presentation.
The public's input and participation is important, so if you are not able to attend in person or via Ring Central please stop by City Hall to view the Master Plan or click the link above to access a digital copy.

Given this home’s ocean view, and the fact that many properties in the area have steep slopes for front yards, a deck is an obvious value-added feature. They can range from simple rectangular constructions, to more complex designs that incorporate barbecues, hot tubs, dining areas, planters, even water features.
The final product is dependent upon the amount of area available, intended use, home design, and budget. In this case, the client presented Loyal Construction with their own design. We applied the decking, along with matching facia and deck post blocking.
This particular project was challenging due to the size of the deck, its irregular shape, and split levels. Therefore, it demanded a lot more attention be paid to keeping all lines and spacing accurate. Some improvisation was required to achieve the desired look.
Looking to make better use of your property with a ground level or elevated deck? Contact Canada Loyal Construction today to arrange a consultation.

Most of us has looked at beautiful gardens and wondered how we can have the same. Landscaped gardens can be achievable if we follow the steps below:
1. Create a clear vision of what you want to achieve
Choosing a theme for your own garden is the first thing you should do before you start any landscaping. Once you have decided on a theme, the rest should just follow.
2. Visualise the vision
You can do this by creating a mood board by either cutting pictures from magazines or printing them off the internet. You can also create one online through Pinterest which has a lot of interesting photos and articles you can get ideas from. Having a mood board gives you a clearer idea on what you really want to achieve and the look you want to go for.
3. Finalise your mood board
After looking into a lot of different photos and reading articles, it is time to rate everything. Finalise your list by leaving out the ideas that you like the most. This might be a bright garden, cluttered, minimalist, country, city garden or modern. Remove the items in your mood board that does not fit into the pattern. This can be a bit tricky but this part is very important so you can be left with the exact theme you wish to have.
4. Three colour rule
Sticking to a three colour rule is the way to have a stylish garden. Be strict for the colours you choose for your plants, pots, and anything else that you want to put in your garden. Look at your mood board and pick out the top three colours that stand out more among the others. The most common three colours for gardens is grey, green and white. This makes the garden look very bright and airy which is what most of us want to achieve. For others who want it to be a bit more on the colourful side, they swap grey for orange. Having a three colour rule will help you find it easier to pick out your plant, paint, paving, and accessories choices.
5. Walls and boundaries
Boundaries can either be walls, hedges or fences. It is a massive factor in the look you want to achieve for your garden. Designers tend to do a lot of work in these areas that is why in most gardens, it is the most prominent thing that we see. Take your time to plan out what you want to do in these boundaries to make sure that it will draw the whole thing together. It will be well worth it to invest on this by either replacing or repainting what you may already have. Ideally, the aim should be to use this large surface area to make your garden look bright and light.
To achieve a beautiful garden, the top tip designers give is to make light essential in your garden. The reason why fences and walls are to be well thought of because it’s large surface area can either suck up light or bounce it back. Dark coloured walls and red bricks turn light away. It is crucial to remember that the more white and reflective surfaces you have, the brighter and lighter your garden will be. This will make it look cleaner and much more pleasing to the eye.
7. No hoarding
Time to declutter your garden. Observe all the pieces that you have put out by taking photos of your garden. Are there loads of unnecessary clutter like old pots, countless accessories or unneeded chairs? It is time to take a move and get rid of those. Decluttering is essential to achieve a designed look.
8. Trim your trees
Do you have any trees in your garden? It is the perfect time to look into having it trimmed or removed if it is already a cause for danger. Any stumps that have also been left behind should also be removed now.
Once you have gotten rid of your old clutter, it is time to set up a whole new clutter by wisely choosing new things to enhance the look of your garden. Go back to your mood board and see what you have there that you really liked and it is time to put them in. These might be water features, outdoor lanterns, garden seating, and loads of other little garden decor that you find attractive. However, do not just pick anything. Examine each item and make sure they match the colour tone you have.
10. Special pots
One element to make your garden look its best is to have your pots set out to match your theme and colour tone. You should have a system in where you would put these pots, may it be lining them up by threes or fives, etc. There are bold and structured containers that can be used as pots and once they are filled up they will be a key ingredient in making your garden look very fancy.

'Uki'uki, or Dianella sandwicensis, is an indigenous plant, with long and slender leaves and strikingly colored fruits. In Hawaii, its leaves were used as a material for lashing in house (hale) construction, and a beautiful dye was made from its berries. It's found in a variety of natural habitats from mesic forests, where there is a moderate amount of water, to drier shrub lands, and even wet forests. It can take full sun, or partial shade. Sounds pretty versatile! So if you are thinking about landscaping with more native plants, this might be a good choice. Featured as an accent plant, or functioning as a ground cover, 'Uki'uki will get about a foot and a half tall, and will spread slowly from three to five feet with its rhizomes. Another variety gets about twice that height, and has purplish-brown fruits.

Pacaya Palm, Chamaedorea tepejilote, is a common native species in Central America. It was heavily used by the Maya, so it is especially associated with past and current human sites. The Maya built large reservoirs to catch rain water, and the planted pacaya around the margins so their dense prop-rooted bases would filter soil out of flowing water that entered the reservoirs. Amazing that the plants are still abundant in the same places planted hundreds of years ago. This planting scheme is very obvious in Tikal, Caracol, and elsewhere.

HOW TO DESIGN A RESORT STYLE BACKYARD
Whether you are interested in completely redesigning your landscape or simply making a few changes, there are some important factors to consider before you start planting.
While many people head straight to their local gardening supply store to browse the selections, creating a plan beforehand will help you select plants that will best fit your needs and will thrive in your landscape.
It’s easy to go out and be tempted into buying plants that look beautiful at the garden store, only to get them home and realize they are wrong for your landscape. The following tips will help you take more strategic steps in order to develop a resort style backyard that has a creative, beautiful, cohesive, and thriving ambiance.
Step 1 : Get to know your Site
It is very critical to investigate the site condition and realize what’s the best design for your yard. The topography of your site is important to consider before you plan your backyard project.
Understanding the soil condition and water management of the site is one of the most important and crucial steps that any designer will take at the beginning of a landscaping project. Keep in mind that the specific conditions of your backyard are likely to create a microclimate based on the amount and length of sun and shade exposure the area receives. Microclimates are usually broken into one of four categories: full sun, partial shade, shade, or deep shade; pay specific attention to these details because this will determine the location of your pool, outdoor seating area, natural plants, BBQ area and so on.
Step 2 : Bring on Creative Design
A design can unify your landscape and help guide your material selections and plants. Themes can be as simple as using consistent shapes or forms throughout your project or as complex as creating a relaxation garden or an Oriental garden.
When deciding on a design for your backyard project, a good place to start is looking at the architecture of your home. Try to compliment the lines and style of your home’s architecture in your yard; after all, your yard is an extension of your home. I usually start with customized mood boards that can help to select the hardscapes, pool layout, outdoor kitchen design, outdoor cabana structures, plants, furniture and decorations.
A good design strategy always starts with asking the right questions such as Are you someone who wants lots of neat, geometric shapes and structures in your landscape? or Do you want softer lines and a more natural feel to your space? or Do you want a landscape to include only specific colors? Questions like these will help you choose a unified theme for your garden.
In order to get the most out of your yard, think of it as another room, or rooms, in your home. Just as a home has well defined and carefully planned rooms, so should your landscape; using your materials wisely allows you to create different “rooms” in your landscape. Don’t forget to think about how you’ll link your spaces. How will people move from one area of your yard to another? Create openings to encourage exploration in your yard and keep people moving throughout the landscape. So always you can create different spaces for different uses in your landscape design by asking the right questions and implementing the right strategy.
Step 3: Detail Matters
Many landscaping concepts appeal to us at first, however, design and construction limitations often surface only after studying the concept in more detail. Ideas that seems terrific may prove to be technically or financially unfeasible. As in the case with other creative endeavours, a good design is typically 30% inspiration and 70% preparation and development.
After selecting the most appealing design for your backyard it’s time to pay attention to details and study the key design that can make your space unique to yourself. At this stage having the right information, preparing the correct construction drawing and specification is really important. This level of detail will help the client to obtain correct price and avoid any surprises along the way.
Step 4: Landscaping budget
Having an accurate landscaping construction budget and clear financial road map is the key to a successful landscape project. As a common practice you should always run series of cost estimates for your client to make sure that the proposed design is meeting the clients budget and you can deliver their wish list without any financial surprises along the way.
Be as realistic as you can and explain the entire cost cycle from design to implementation, delivery, and ultimately the maintenance cost to your client. Lately Clients are able to get all kinds of information from online resources but as an effective designer you need to arm yourself with full financial information in order to help your client to get informed and accurate decisions at the earliest possible stage.
Step 4: Quality Matters
Quality can be defined in many ways, such as excellence of services rendered or good value provided for the price paid. It is also important to realize that the definition of quality is somewhat unique to your service and is intricately related to the success of your project.
It is crucial to define the things that show quality in your job. You will need to spend some time defining who you are and who you are not, recognizing that you cannot be everything to everyone and still do everything well. Typical items to consider include superior design and installation, well-defined scope of work, use of trained team members specialized in hard or soft landscaping. Even more important is to ask your customer to help you define quality. Landscape firms tend to think in terms of product rendered, but the client is probably also concerned about the quality of your workers.
Lastly, after developing a QC policy, make sure that it is visible to your current and potential customers by posting it on your website and/or social media page. Also post it in a prominent place in your business and refer to it when training or tasking employees.
So any successful landscaping project begins with site meetings and discussing your creative vision then entering a detailed process for design development and cost estimation, and ultimately having a system in place to monitor the quality and the deliverables of the project.
