CONTEMPORARY GRAFFITI TERRACE DESIGN

2012-08-11T20:35:00.002-07:00

We have seen graffiti bedrooms, graffiti living rooms, and this time it is up to this area of the house where the urban art of graffiti is also very good. How about this terrace with graffiti with lots of affordable ideas? It is called Quintal da Casa by Tatiana Filomeno and Andrea Hermes Silva.

The terrace is made for a family environment following the concept of sustainability.

Designed to be a space of family life, which serves as a meeting point for all of its members, the large courtyard with more than 99 m2 is surrounded by art, technology and elements of different shapes, colors and textures.

This graffiti terrace, has a mix of bright colors, with the predominance of blue and gray colors, in contrast to the urban greenery and brown forests.

The floor was designed entirely with recycled material as well as the cover, which has the structure made of eucalyptus wood from construction waste, and coated with demolition wood of the houses destroyed in the floods in the region of Blumenau.

To make the area look more casual, designers have opted to use few furniture. Irreverent set of chairs and the blue lobe sideboard with retro design, specially designed for the color of the house and forms inspired by the Mini Cooper car, stood out for its originality.

The use of contemporary graffiti, shows a large panel produced by four graffiti artists and occupies most of the wall. Some other elements that stand out in the garden is the vinyl fountain and the block wall that has a green vertical garden that has become very fashionable.

SYNTHETIC GRASS - HOW TO INSERT ARTIFICIAL TURF ON NATURAL GROUND

2012-07-15T13:41:00.000-07:00

Everything about the synthetic grass and how to put artificial turf on natural terrain.

Enjoy this cool video that teaches you to place synthetic grass and solve your most frequently asked questions about artificial turf:

1. How should I maintain the artificial grass? The only maintenance is cleaning it, which must be performed with a simple lawn watering for dust that may have lay in the fibers. The leaves of trees or small dried flowers can be picked by hand with a brush or a blower sweeper. In the most usual step, you may notice that the hair is somewhat depressed over time, to return to flesh simply brush the turf against the grain.

2. What about the artificial grass and sudden changes in temperature?
It's okay, frost, snow, sun, etc...

3. Pets and synthetic turf
The needs of pets can be cleaned.
Soap, bleach diluted with water, detergent free cleaning abrasive solvents will not damage the product.

4. Can artificial turf be placed around pools?
Yes, possible chemicals or chlorine does not alter the product.

5. Advantages of artificial grass
-You can decorate with artificial turf or place it in your garden, indoor and outdoor, on soccer fields, etc.. Perfect imitation, look and feel entirely realistic, you may lie down, walk barefoot, with a nice feeling and natural. Children can play safely to slip, or dirty with mud.
- Maintenance free, forget the lawn mower machines, fertilizers and fertilizers, the replanted, bugs. Evergreen look and feel of freshly cut.
- Immediate installation
- Saving water, simply water the artificial turf for cleaning.
- Advanced drainage system at the base because it can be drained more than 60 liters/m2 in a minute, so that the enjoyment of the installation is immediately, without waiting time to dry land, and safely of a mess of mud. - Long lasting, seamless installation for years

6. Accessories for synthetic grass. You can also buy silica sand, rubber granules, tights, etc.

7. Importance of silica sand. Is to stabilize the lawn when performing installations of synthetic turf on the floor directly, without using finishes that professionals usually use. Silica sand is one of these materials, although some think they are not needed, are important for a flawless result. There are sands of various colors that will help give a custom look and quality. There are two ways to stabilize the artificial turf, a weight increase by increasing the specific gravity of the lawn (more fiber per m2) something feasible but unprofitable, or add ballast by controlled media, siliceous sand, recycled rubber, encapsulated sand , tinted sand, etc. In gardening, sand only serves to increase the weight lawn, in the case of tinted sands, weight and quality. However, the quality of the substrate used in the ballast will determine the longevity of the turf. A round singing sand, dust free and quality ensures a long product life. By contrast an uncontrolled graded sand, sharp or contaminated produce clumping of the lawn and defibrillation of the ballast fibra. A good ballast substrate is equal to long lived artificial grass.

8. Artificial grass in terraces. The sand also often placed in terrace facilities. The sand is not going down the drain because you put a geotextile mesh between the terrace and sand. This grid allows drainage and prevents the sand leaves.

9. How long will artificial turf last? What is its lifetime? The minimum durability of synthetic turf is 10 years with proper installation and proper use. I love it, many do not like to play soccer on synthetic grass courts, but I think for gardens, terraces and playgrounds for children is pretty good, isn't it? What is your opinion? You can also decorate with this material, walls and facades with artificial grass, look at the pictures and ideas: Decoration with artificial grass.

VINES CREEPERS OR CLIMBING PLANTS TO FILL WALLS IN THE GARDEN

2012-02-24T18:20:00.003-08:00

I want to cover walls of my garden, so people can see all the green background. Searching the internet, I found this artwork made of vines and creepers and other plants, which is like a giant face.

I do not think my gardener can do something like this, so looking for something more simple, I tried to figure out how to cover a wall with plants, and found that you can choose from vines or climbers: self-adhesive, for wall, for pergola, fencing, vine with decorative flowers, aromatic vines, etc.

Best known climbing plants:
- Wisteria to cover pergolas or arches. Has beautiful purple flowers and leaves:

Photo of Wisteria: meteored.com

- Ivy for wall in the shade:

- Honeysuckle (Lonicera Etruscan) is used to cover smoothly the space in your garden. Honeysuckle is an evergreen climbing plant, opposite and oval that can reach a height of two meters.
- Buganvilia or bougainvillea, begonias and Jasmines if you live in temperate or warm weather.

- Rosal climbing in the sun.
