Interlocking concrete pavers (ICPs) are typically constructed as ‘flexible’ pavements on a well compacted soil subgrade and compacted aggregate base. Hand-sized concrete paver units are then placed on top of the base on a thin layer of bedding sand. The pavers are then compacted; sand is swept into the joints, and…
Conventional or gravity segmental retaining walls (SRWs), referring to manufactured retaining walls, as opposed to natural stone walls, effectively limit the movement of the soil behind them, primarily by the weight of their blocks. The maximum wall height of a single-depth wall is typically directly proportional to its weight, width, batter (face slope), soil condition, and site geometry. (Contractors should, in all cases, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations.) The theory behind these retaining walls is to effectively alter the landscape to increase the area of usable land. On occasion they may be used in cases where there is a very steep or rapid change in the site grading. Retaining walls actually have an extensive history dating back to the introduction of primitive agriculture. These early efforts to improve agricultural production often used readily available local materials to alter the existing natural terrain and drainage patterns.
When considering a swimming pool and hot tub addition to an outdoor landscape design, many homeowners select a hot tub that is integrated into the pool form. This not only creates a cohesive look, but also allows the hot tub to be used as a design element with water flowing over or out into the pool. This is a common design premise. Installation concepts for portable hot tubs, however, can be a little more challenging when trying to make them look as integrated as their built-in counterparts.
When a glimpse of a garden leaves a homeowner’s guests speechless, something extraordinary has been created. Designing landscapes in a natural setting requires a careful balance between enhancing existing features and adding new elements that integrate harmoniously into the surroundings. Working with nature as well as managing a team of consultants and contractors requires organization and tact, above all, however, a vision of the final design is needed to guide the project through its various stages.
Genesis 3 Design Group has formed an affiliate sponsorship with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD), which will allow both organizations to expand their educational offerings to members and allow them to keep up-to-date on the latest trends in the aquatic and landscaping design/build industries.
