Home design landscaping on much more than looks - The Vancouver Sun
The end of last week, I was in a ride of the ATC, the Holmes Foundation fundraiser. I had to do something outdoors, have fun, be with friends and support skilled trades training - some of my things favourite all in one. It was great.
It also reminded me how field can maintain and manage the environment. On the route of the ATC, we have a trail. The way in which rain water flowed a dry parts and other a mess. According to how the trees and plant life grew, we had shade at some locations and Sun in others. This has me thinking the field around our homes.
I am not a landscape but I care about landscaping. Why? Landscaping affects a House.
Most people think landscaping is a way of the House features - increase the attractiveness of sidewalk. But most of all, eye candy, landscaping around a House serves a purpose. It has a function. And it is for you to decide what is this function.
You want to ensure the safety of children? Keep them in view? Direct traffic? Protect pets? Protect your home against weather outside? Protect your home from the Sun and heat? Manage rainwater around your home? Increase in privacy? What you want to do for you?
Good landscaping works with your home. Steps against it. It is obvious. What you do outside of a House, it will affect the Interior. He must be intelligent.
For example, planting a garden against the walls of your House may seem pleasant. But the soil around the foundation walls has been disrupted. Packaged not as strongly as the undisturbed soil. It has more air space. So when you water the plants, where you think that water goes? Directly to the Foundation. Not good. If you want to avoid a basement leaking, keep gardens and plants away from the walls of your House.
Let's say you want to build a bed raised to a garden near a fence. Large. What is the first thing you think of? What type of wood, you will need to place it? Type of soil? Type of plants? You will need the address - above all - the most important thing, is how is that it will affect the grading around your home. How this will affect the neighbours?
I have heard of many stories where a neighbor will be doing some landscaping on their property and the next thing you know, he is a pooling of countries neighbouring water. Why? Because the landscape has changed the rank. And that drainage.
Can be difficult to know exactly how landscaping will affect your home. That is why it is smart for someone who knows to do. Someone who can tell you what must be done to keep your home safe and healthy. And what landscape options you have to increase the functionality of your home.
Are there ways you can enjoy the Sun in the winter? The heat during the summer? Block tough winds that can damage the outside of your House? Plants and shrubs to help drainage? Prevent leaks?
A good landscaper will know all the right questions to ask before a shovel even touch the ground. As the location of all the lines the utility on your property. The last thing you want is to cut your cable - or worse.
They will also tell you the best way to maintain everything. Don't forget to water the lawn is one of the largest committed water. The average suburban garden at the Canada is about 100 000 litres of water during the growing season. That's a lot of water. But when you consider that the water used for most of the gardens has been processed for consumption, which is a huge waste.
The grass is always greener, when we are green. If you are intelligent, collect you rain water and use it to water your lawn and garden. A professional landscape will help you do so. They develop a system and work to develop landscape around him.
How do you find the right landscape? Similarly, you can find the right contractor. Ask lots of questions, a lot of references and talk to many past customers. Do you your homework and check their work.
And notice what kinds of questions they ask. -T - they care more than your budget? Or they ask if you have children? If you plan to have children soon? How long you will live in the House? Everything you need for the good landscaping to solve problems? This will tell you if they are interested in doing a good job or get next task.
I do not expect the owners of all about homes and landscaping. But I expect pros to know. And if you spend the time and money, just the first time. Spend your money once and you are going to do you and your home a huge favour.
Work for us - and save us money in the process. Everybody wins when we handle.

County of Palm Beach cities chafe under limited landscaping - Sun Sentinel article
County of Palm Beach preps the median for landscaping landscaping along the State road 7, between understory and Broward County line road. (Carline Jean, Sun Sentinel / 11 June 2012)
Grasses of Bahia and trees? Oh, please.
No irrigation? Hein.
Obviously, the Palm Beach County loves its landscaping. A new policy of State limiting the amount can be spent on beautification has some cities turning up to their nose of impending changes.
"Bahia grass is not cut," said Randy Whitfield, Executive Director of the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization, which determines how to distribute the State and federal transportation money in the County.
For years, money has been invested in beautify roads in the County. That changed this year when legislators of said State than the Florida Department of Transportation could be only 1.5% of the financing of the construction on the development landscape.
To comply, landscaping for many road improvement projects had to be eliminated. Projects will receive a landscaping have large doors and corridors and are limited to large trees and grass, shrubs or flowers or ground cover.
This change comes as a blow to the Palm Beach County. Each year, the Organization of planning to set aside more than $400,000 for beautification projects, but that money has disappeared, Whitfield said.
The federal funds that would often to County beautification projects cannot be used on landscaping.
The State DOT has had the directive of 1.5% for landscaping for some time, but it is not a strict requirement, Whitfield said, and Palm Beach County often exceeded this percentage.
A budget of thinner landscaping is a bit of a shocker.
"They obviously not look to a lot of landscaping equipment," said Whitfield.
Boca Raton lost the State funding in the amount of $800,000 landscaping project for the glades road and Interstate 95. The city is hoping to get it if the project is designated as a "gateway".
But the expectations of the city are higher than a few large trees and sod.
"We believe that it is important to the city - as one of the points of the major of the city - has something interesting and welcoming to Boca Raton, as opposed to the grass of Bahia which is cut," said Assistant City Manager Mike Woika.
Riviera Beach officials were more blunt in their disapproval when the State has changed the design landscaping on a project for the construction of state route 710.
In the design of the project, the State told the city, landscaping of the project would mirror a similar project on 710 with irrigation, ground covers and St. Augustine lawn. Under the new policy, the project is now more Bahia grass and without irrigation.
The Manager of City Ruth Jones sent a letter to officials FDOT expressing "deep concern" for the new design and requested the cooperation of the State to ensure a more "aesthetic" project.
Riviera Beach offered to pay the difference to install and improve landscaping landscaping. Woika said that Boca Raton would also pay improved landscaping and maintenance.
"If the State continues in this way and put trees and grass to the bottom, we would like local municipalities to be allowed to put money in the best of trees and grasses and bushes around trees," said Whitfield.

Failure at the end of the work to the development of the Court - Grimsby Telegraph Company Mews land Station
FAILURE to complete the landscaping work landed a real estate developer in the Court.
North East Lincolnshire Council has taken action against the Humberson on construction projects Management (BPM) Ltd after failed it negotiations to solve problems, the development of the Station Mews, in new Waltham.
Housing development: development of the Station Mews, new Waltham, the construction in early 2009.At a recent hearing at Grimsby Magistrates' Court, the company has been recognized guilty of three violations of the Planning Act, and now the case has been adjourned at the request of the prosecution, to July 6.
At trial, the case was formed by NELC following complaints by local residents.
When the permission is granted, it is often a requirement that a developer is committed to planting of shrubs and trees.
A statement by NELC said that in this case, the developer did not finish landscaping around eight houses on the site, which is located off of the road to the Station.
According to the archives of the Grimsby Telegraph, houses on protected residential development have been marketed for sale in 2009, with some properties at the price of £ 147,000.
It was designed by architects award-winning The John Derbyshire Partnership, using a theme of railway as an influence.
Eight properties have been created, ranging from cottages link to a magnificent four-bedroom residence detached town house.
Jason Longhurst, head of the Development Council, said: "The Council is committed to promote the sustainable development of high quality."
"It is always to work with landowners and developers to ensure that planning problems are resolved in a manner that strikes a balance between their needs and the needs of the local community."
"Unfortunately, in a very small number of cases, the Council is to resort to legal powers available to it."
"This case related to a small housing development and the developer has been recognized guilty of are not not the requirements of its urban planning".
Councillor Alex Wallace, Chairman of the Planning Committee, said: "' it is for the applicants so that what they allowed to build what is effectively built.".
"Otherwise, we then have the possibility of using the law to ensure that a developer performs its duty of local residents and the whole of the community and fully meets the requirements of its urban planning."
"This is the reason why we use in this case, supported by local residents and Councillors of district".
BPM Ltd refused to comment on at this stage of the procedure.
