A Mini Landscaping Lesson
Filed Under Books Magazines | Comments Off
Landscaping-blog asked:
Landscaping has often been likened to the painting of a picture. Your art-work teacher has doubtless told you that a good picture should have a point of chief interest, and the rest of the points simply go to make more beautiful the central idea, or to form a fine setting for it. So in landscaping there must be in the gardener’s mind a picture of what he desires the whole to be when he completes his landscaping project.
Should you include lots of bare open lawn in your landscaping theme? A large extent of open lusious green lawn space is always beautiful. It is restful.
This type of open landscaping adds a feeling of space to even small grounds. If you cover your lawn space with many trees, with little flower beds here and there, the general effect is choppy and fussy. A bit like an over-dressed person. Not the most visual appealing result from your landscaping efforts.
When landscaping, a single tree or a small group is not a bad arrangement on the lawn. Do not centre the tree or trees. Let them drop a bit into the background. Make a pleasing side feature of them. In choosing trees for your landscaping project, keep in mind a number of things. You should not choose an overpowering tree. The tree should have a good shape, with something interesting about its bark, leaves, flowers or fruit.
For the beauty of landscaping, the catalpa is quite lovely by itself. Its leaves are broad, its flowers attractive, the seed pods which cling to the tree until way into the winter, add a bit of picturesqueness. The bright berries of the ash, the brilliant foliage of the sugar maple, the blossoms of the tulip tree, the bark of the white birch, and the leaves of the copper beech all these are beauty points to consider when planning your overall landscaping arrangement.
Landscaping may follow along very formal lines or along informal lines. The first would have straight paths, straight rows in stiff beds, everything, as the name tells, perfectly formal. The other method is, of course, the exact opposite. You should consider the advantages and danger points in each.
In conclusion, plan for open lawn spaces in your overall landscaping design and keep a visually appealing tree to blend in the background. Think balance and you will come up with a beautiful landscaping design for your yard.

Custom Landscaping Ideas
Filed Under Landscape Picture | Comments Off
Raily Arena asked:
If you want to have a better-looking lawn and a well-manicured backyard, then you may ask for landscaping experts to come over and see your place. You may also ask for assistance in all the different phases of designing your yard and house. You can also choose to have custom landscaping done, which indeed includes all the different aspects of landscape design, from constructing different buildings or parts of your landscape, to maintaining your landscape. Custom landscaping can work on individual houses, gated communities, or estates. Often, custom landscaping companies will have their own customer relations departments, in-house crews, and maintenance crews.
How does custom landscaping start? First, a custom landscaping expert will meet with you in order to get what vision you would like for your yard. As the name implies, custom landscaping is all about meeting your needs and what you would like to see in your estate. The problem with this is that it can get thorny when you try imposing or implementing your perspective without having the right expertise in order to do your redesigning and landscaping. A good custom landscaping person will use your ideas and execute them excellently.
For instance, some custom landscapers will provide you with pictures of different plans and grasses so that you can see which ones would fit your design better. They may show you pictures of different projects that they have already undertaken. Moreover, they will make suggestions with long-term visions in mind, because you will need to maintain your property. This will include factoring in your location, the weather or climate, and patterns of wind drift. This means that custom landscapers need to optimize your property so that you can get your design visions implemented without worrying about your landscape getting destroyed.
Different custom landscapers will have different strategies, but in general, a custom landscaper will provide you with information on how many plants you need and how much you will have to spend; and what fees you will incur in terms of keeping the finished product looking good all the time. Because custom landscapers work with your vision, you and your landscaper will be constantly contacting each other and talking about what you would like your property to look like. You may also find yourself making deals in terms of maintenance, or even remodeling after a certain amount of time. What is important is that you need to have a good relationship with your custom landscaper; this person has to be someone that you can trust, not just with implementing your design, but making efficient use of your money.

Residential Landscape Designs
Filed Under Gardening | Comments Off
Jeff Halper asked:
Maybe you’ve been collecting residential landscape designs for a while. Perhaps you saw a Japanese garden design at a friend’s house that captured your imagination. Or maybe it was a Mediterranean garden design with sweet herbs right off the vine, relaxed spaces for entertainment, and lush, practical vegetation. Possibly your space is limited and you’re looking for small garden design ideas that will have a big impact.
If you’re making plans to change your residential landscape design, a good place to start is with landscape designers or landscape architects. These competent landscape professionals take you through the entire design development process, which includes consultation and program development, analysis of your property, conceptual landscaping design, construction documentation and permitting. And then on towards turning the vision in your mind into a concrete reality.
Ideas for Residential Landscape Design
? Landscape lighting. From a practical urban landscaping standpoint, the right landscape lighting provides security and safe access. It allows you to showcase beautiful trees and garden elements, while simultaneously letting you control what you don’t want people to see by leaving some things dark. It is often a relatively inexpensive way to boost your property value.
? Outdoor water fountains. Outdoor water fountains make a graceful statement about a home by creating a pleasing and welcoming focal point. They are especially beneficial as camouflage for all the white noise we live with, such as traffic, air-conditioning units and lawn mowers.
? Pool design. Various geometrics, materials and plantings can be used to create the style that suits you-a water work of art, a cocktail pool, an Olympic-sized pool or a water-park for children are just a few examples. Pools are usually designed by an architect who manages the construction and oversees all the details.
? A “green” green garden. That is, a garden that is ecologically smart, prudent and sustainable. “With a design for a green garden, the goals are basically the same as for any other landscape project with a special focus on reducing the main concerns of ongoing landscape maintenance: watering, trimming, weeding and mulching,” says Jeff Halper with Exterior Worlds.
Residential Landscape Design: The Unsung Heroes
A well-thought-out drainage system and irrigation system have a big impact of the health of your yard-and on your enjoyment of it. Drainage systems are an important part of any Houston residential landscape design and include catch basins, channel drains and French drains. Drainage systems impact your residential landscape maintenance by preventing standing water that can cause mosquito breeding grounds, slippery surfaces, and washed-out landscaping. A proper landscape drainage system is essential for the care of your lawn as it removes water from your property in a timely manner, thus encouraging healthy plants and allowing your maintenance crew to perform their regular lawn service duties.
Irrigation systems help you deliver the correct amount of water to the appropriate plant material. They allow your landscape to be separated by zones into lawn, bed and color areas that require different watering conditions due to varying plant materials and sunlight conditions. They do this by utilizing controller box technologies, such as timers, time delays and rain sensors, that let you set a regular schedule for your landscape watering needs while, at the same time, allowing you to switch to manual for unexpected events.
It is best when drainage systems and irrigation systems work in concert with each other. Irrigation and drainage contractors can develop a whole-system approach so that the nuts and bolts of both systems are hidden as much as possible. If that method can’t be done, custom decorative drain gates can be used to reduce the negative visual impact. The overall goal is for the design and location of the two systems to be in harmony with the design of the rest of the landscape.

What’s the name and who sings that song in Beverly Hills Chihuahua?
It’s starts right at the part where Piper and the Landscaper guy hug…
It’s an upbeat song that goes something like “whistling in the day time…whistling in the day…whistling in the sunshine…whistling in the evening.”
Thanks
