u2014 ALE: Wayne Rain Garden Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursery Association u2014 ALE: Wayne Rain Garden Terren Landscapes http://www.terrenlandscapes.com 2014 PLNA Awards for Landscape Excellence winner Category: Residential Up to $15,000 Award Level: Gold Project Description: Our company was contracted by the client to provide a creative solution to an ongoing drainage problem. Their property is located within 30 feet of a local stream that collects storm water from the surrounding area. The nearby stream and high water table caused the lawn area at the side of their home to flood and to remain waterlogged for a few days after each storm. The client not only had difficulty growing plants in the existing conditions, but also had a problem with mosquitoes due to standing water. Our goal was to design a self-contained, naturalistic rain garden that slowed storm water runoff, allowed for percolation, and promoted infiltration while permitting excess clean water to enter the nearby stream with diminished force. As designed, the rain garden allows the earth to slowly and more naturally absorb excess storm water while filtering out toxins such as excess nitrogen and phosphorous which are frequently found in the landscape, therefore reducing the contaminants entering the stream. A percolation test was conducted with criteria of absorbing a one-inch rainstorm within four hours without overflow. The one-inch storm calculation included an existing downspout from the home, which would be piped into the rain garden to reduce roof runoff. The first test failed due to a deep layer of high clay-content soil. Excavation continued until a layer of sandy loam was reached, the percolation test was repeated, and a successful test result was achieved. Next, the entire rain garden basin was excavated to the sandy loam layer and the soil amended with compost and sand to create a highly porous planting media. Geotextile fabric was placed to help reduce migration of the surface stone into the soil and allow for minimal maintenance. Gravel, river stone and small boulders were carefully placed to achieve the look of a natural streambed. A palette of mostly native plants with a few non-invasive ornamentals were chosen for their ability to survive in extreme conditions ranging from floods to drought and were placed according to their specific preferences. Wetland plants were chosen for the lowest portion of the rain garden as that area remains saturated for longer periods of time, with a Chionanthus virginicus as a focal point surrounded by irises and ferns at the lowest depth. Plants tolerant of drier conditions were chosen for the upper edges of the garden. The beautiful colors of Monarda, Ligularia, Eupatorium, Solidago, Chelone, and Rudbeckia were scattered within the upper edge, while movement and softness were incorporated by use of the graceful Nassella that lines the border. Finally, winter interest was provided with a backdrop of Cornus sericea. As built, this small rain garden creates tremendous impact by decreasing the amount of storm water runoff not only on our client's property, but also in the neighboring stream. It serves as a means of slowing the water and providing an area for infiltration back into the earth. The plants provide a habitat for birds, butterflies, and insects, working in harmony with nature and providing beautiful visual interest year-round. Photo Credit: Lisa C. Falls

Because of the Shade conditions, Capitata Yew Evergreen trees were planted to fill in the gaps on both sides of the new fencing. The random planting will allow the trees to thrive on all sides instead of planting them in rows. In time, this area will be completely hidden from street side. The original old columns were left from a previous estate.

Finally, paver edging was installed around all of the landscape beds to create easier maintenance conditions. The beds were finished with dyed brown mulch and the sod was laid. We referred the homeowner's to a local irrigation specialist for the installation of sprinkler to ensure that the sod grows properly.

COREtec One is made from recycled wood and bamboo dust, limestone, and virgin PVC. This luxury vinyl is very stable, it will not expand or contract under normal conditions. This is the perfect material to put in basements.

We did not have the budget on this project to change the tile floor in the kitchen and dining room. It was a bit dated and in good condition but by changing the cabinet color and the floor beside it from carpet to wood, it helped the old look new again. I had to find a color for the old cabinets that would integrate the existing tile flooring and existing granite counters which was hard because they were not a good match to begin with. But I think this worked

This repeat customer wanted to maintain the vintage character of the home, open the kitchen to the dining room, and add subtle modern touches to the cabinetry. One window was eliminated by the refrigerator, otherwise existing windows and doors were untouched. Insulation was added on the North and East exterior walls. Flooring was patched and refinished to match existing conditions.

This row house located in Brookline MA was renovated from its existing conditions into 2 new luxury apartments. The project took advantage of a lower roof in the alley way to accommodate a rear roof deck. Light interiors accented by wooden floors create a modern elegant feel throughout the apartments.

Situated on a double-lot of beach front property, this 5600 SF home is a beautiful example of seaside architectural detailing and luxury. The home is actually more than 15,000 SF when including all of the outdoor spaces and balconies. Spread across its 4 levels are 5 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, his and her office, gym, living, dining, & family rooms. It is all topped off with a large deck with wet bar on the top floor for watching the sunsets. It also includes garage space for 6 vehicles, a beach access garage for water sports equipment, and over 1000 SF of additional storage space. The home is equipped with integrated smart-home technology to control lighting, air conditioning, security systems, entertainment and multimedia, and is backed up by a whole house generator.

We decided to explore the use of Thermo ashwood for this particular house. The grain is strong and beautiful- very similar to pine. But the original pale beige of ash is darkened through a process that consists of drying, heat treatment and finally cooling/conditioning, and takes up to 72 hours. The end product is unevenly darkened and stunning. It is seasoned thoroughly and will not bend, but is also extremely hard and can split if you're not careful. But this disadvantage is only in the manufacturing stage; once constructed, the end product will last a lifetime
