Hi ,I’m thinking to do the out-door feature wall in my project in china the size around 7m/long by 3.5m/high but the planting guy said that gonna take a year to green it by the plant , Anyway can make it faster and low maintenance?

Hi. I’m going to build a green wall using felt as part of my student entry at the International Ellerslie Flower Show in NZ in March 2010. Any advice?

Hi to all the Wildcat LA’s. Bear Down!

Our office has done several green roofs and are now working on a project where I want to do both green roofs and green walls. I have a pretty good handle on the roofs, but have been having a tough time getting the green wall people to respond with samples of their products. I have offered to buy the samples but so far they have not responded. I’m…[Read more]

Ryan, to answer your question from November, I am an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. I was drawn to golf design because I had a love for the game, then developed a love for the golf design industry and golf architecture. Something romantic about the whole industry to me.

I think you have to be a good stick in order to be respected in…[Read more]

Fix, repair or replace all those hardscape areas used for erosion control such as in the photo above. Try a vegetatable solution that is a permanent repair to many erosion issues. With the value of 1sq ft of golf course being as high as it is it is shame for erosion to eat it up. Deltalok USA Ecology Units will provide a permanent vegetatable solution.

hello, all. i am a grad who is doing design, some sustainable and production support for design-build firms. have been at the game for 15+ years in virtually all phases. i started my own one man studio right before ‘the crash’.

Wow! It’s awesome to see such a great diversity of people from around the world expressing common interest in Golf Course Architecture, a very unique area of design in the realm of Landscape Archtecture! If anyone has any thoughts or a creative approach to golf course design please share your thoughts!

No problem, Radu! Glad to help.

As for the conceptual design, it should be a general routing plan with generic bunkering and golf course character. You would want to establish number of tees, size of tees and greens, etc. so that you could generate an estimate. Other things, like drainage, earthwork, etc. would have to come from past experience…[Read more]
