You’re hosting a party, and it’s cold outside. You’re worried about your guests feeling cozy, especially as they walk up to your front door, so you ask your daughter to help you make lanterns out of tea lights and white paper bags.

When it comes to landscaping, stone designs—or hardscapes—will give any home an elegant, sophisticated feel. For over 25 years, Thesing Landscaping & Nursery has been creating extravagant, gorgeous loose stone installations for clients in the Greater Cincinnati,

The debate on artificial turf continues to rage on. Artificial turf has been structurally designed to be a safer surface than grass and to be unaffected by weather. Have engineers succeeded in their goal? It has been said that artificial turf has different properties than grass, and when forces act upon it, artificial turf reacts differently and causes more injuries. I have played the majority of my sports on artificial turf over the last couple years. I have always wondered if the artificial turf has any effect on injuries.

Soil and rock are the main composition of the planet’s crust. Rock is often considered a consolidated material but soil is described as an unconsolidated remains and deposits of solid particle that have been formed by the breakdown of rocks. Soils can be grouped into two categories depending on the method of deposition. Residual soils have formed from the weathering of rocks and remain at the location of their origin. Residual soils can include particles having a wide range of sizes, shapes and compositions depending on amount and type of weathering and the minerals of parent rock. Transported soils are soils that have been relocated from their original place. Transportation may have resulted from the outcome of gravity, wind, water glaciers or human activities.

I have come to realize that the environment we live in has suffered much damage from pollution and lacks competent planning, making it difficult to find beautiful scenery to photograph or sketch. I began to think that I could make use of my artistic gift, concern about, and interest in the environment by entering the field of landscape design and putting my effort into beautifying our surroundings. Therefore, after graduating from high school, I entered the Department of Landscape Architecture at ABC University.
