			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s nothing quite like a landscaped pool. These pools can be truly beautiful environments. You can build a paradise around your pool. Add <a href="http://www.poolexpress.com.au/">solar pool heating systems</a> and you have your own natural oasis. This is a great lifestyle, and it’s an achievable lifestyle, if you know some of the basics.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-167  aligncenter" title="Pool" src="http://www.maieco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Pool.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="265" /></p>
<h1>DIY landscaping skills required</h1>
<p>Basic landscaping involves a range of skills including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Environmental management design and planning</li>
<li>Land use management</li>
<li>Installing design features like plants, privacy      screens, fencing, and décor</li>
</ul>
<p>Except for architectural features, landscaping involves mainly handyman level skills and competent gardening skills. The average, standard size home pool can be landscaped by anyone with adequate experience in these areas.</p>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> <em>Some types of landscaping may require local government approval. Make sure that you’re fully aware of these requirements before commencing work, because your work may be illegal and result in penalties and/or demolition.</em></p>
<h1>Basic landscaping</h1>
<p>The area around your pool can be landscaped in any way, but you must work to a clear plan. Professional landscapers always create a fundamental design concept first, then review the plan in terms of the site to check any structural issues.</p>
<p>The review stage is also the time for checking the feasibility of landscaping plans. Ideas can be drawn up and you can check the environment for things like:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Soil issues:</strong> Any work around a pool must not      interfere with the pool structure.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy issues:</strong> Visibility from outside has to      be checked for privacy.</li>
<li><strong>Sunlight and exposed areas:</strong> Glare and lighting      at various times of day can be a major factor in using a pool.</li>
<li><strong>Practical installation issues:</strong> The physical      process of installation of landscaping has to be considered in detail.</li>
<li><strong>Costs:</strong> Cost should be estimated with a margin      for error of about 20% above basic costs. This allows for extra work,      materials, etc.</li>
<li><strong>Time frames:</strong> Landscaping work can’t really be      done “occasionally”. It has to be done systematically. (Note: Exposed      areas of soils around the pool area can hold water, weakening the      foundations of the pool, and possible damaging the pool and adjoining      areas. Do <em>not</em> allow water to sit around house foundations.)</li>
</ul>
<h1>Landscape design tips</h1>
<p>There’s a few particularly simple things you can do to make your landscaping a lot less difficult:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What      <em>don’t</em> you want to change?</strong> Identifying these areas before you      get started can save you a lot of work.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Are      there easier ways of achieving the landscape you want?</strong> Some features      can simply be bought and installed with almost no effort on your part.      This also saves time for working on the rest of your ideas.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>What      can be done for no cost, or little cost?</strong> A good way of preserving your      budget is to find lower cost alternatives.</li>
</ul>
<p>However you decide to do your landscaping, you’ll find that it’s fun, and that you can be truly creative on a scale you’ve never achieved before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-162" title="patio furniture home" src="http://www.maieco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/patio-furniture-home.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />The patio is the best place on Earth to really live your life the way you want to live it. There is absolutely nothing you can’t do with a patio. All it takes is a bit of thought, and some conscientious self-indulgence.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.installaveranda.com.au/">patio</a> can be the equivalent of a spare house, with the right patio furniture and a bit of organization. A combination of enclosed and unenclosed areas will do wonders. You can have a nice exterior enclosed area acting as a playroom/study/guestroom, with an al fresco dining area and anything else you need as well. Patios have great natural space economics, particularly at relative costs compared to extensions and renovations.</p>
<p>There are a lot of good reasons for upgrading the patio:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>De-cluttering:</strong> The patio provides a real option for keeping several generation’s worth of      clutter in the house under control, organizing it and creating a space      where it can be used.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Aesthetics:</strong> The most basic patio environment can be a truly beautiful place, a      pleasure in itself. Just pick your favorite outdoor area as the site, and      the local environment will do the rest.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Special      needs:</strong> The patio can function as a workspace, a games area, and      general do-anything area can be part of the patio’s role.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Value      adding:</strong> A patio, at average basic costs, can add a lot to the value of      a house without much effort or expense. There’s not even any real need to      do anything fancy or expensive. Good patio fittings and furniture can do      it all, at extremely low relative costs.</li>
</ul>
<h1>Fitting out your patio</h1>
<p>To get the best effects, you have a range of very cheap, highly efficient options:</p>
<p><strong>Patio furniture</strong></p>
<p>Patio furniture isn’t just decorative. It’s extremely durable and reliable. It can handle any situation or requirements you may have for your patio. You won’t even need to shop around much, because the patio furniture suppliers carry good ranges.</p>
<p>A typical example of the flexibility of patio furniture is the basic dining set. It can be used for anything, and the design ranges are excellent. Good quality is basically unavoidable when you’re buying from the industry specialists. The dining sets are excellent space managers even when you’ve got a lot of guests, and need practically no maintenance.</p>
<h1>Storage and space</h1>
<p>A little hunting will find some very useful storage types for space management. Some forms of shelving and upright storage are readily available, particularly the extremely reliable wicker cane ranges which are designed for semi-outdoor use. These are practically indestructible, and can take a lot of materials like sporting equipment and other bulky things easily.</p>
<p>Some of the outdoor types of furniture also provide another very important facility in any patio area: Shelving. Easy access for the things in constant use is not only convenient, it saves space inside as well. This shelving also creates space for materials which really should be outside, like barbecue equipment, etc.</p>
<p>Check out your options for patios, because you’ll find you’ve added a dimension to your lifestyle when you’ve found what you want.</p>

Patio parties, backyard bonfires and neighborhood BBQs are common events throughout the summer and well into the fall.  If you live for throwing those parties and entertaining friends you will need plenty of well chosen patio furniture to make it simple.</p>
<p>Quality and design are the most important elements in patio furniture for a crowd.  Well built pieces will keep every guest secure and require minimal maintenance from you.  A good design means the furniture will be attractive and comfortable to use, as well as easy to store and durable.</p>
<p>What Makes for High Quality?</p>
<p>When choosing furniture, the materials play a big part in the level of quality.  Stronger materials will generate a higher quality piece and even better grades of good material can make a noticeable difference.</p>
<p>Wood patio furniture is a good choice for many homeowners, offering a warmth and classic charm that is often unmatched.  But making sure your furniture is made from select grade timber will allow for a better appearance, stronger structure and usually less potential for problems.</p>
<p>Take into account the natural properties of a certain material when you’re choosing furniture.  Steel is strong, readily available and can be finished in nearly any color.  But once that finish is chipped or scratched, the material is prone to rust and will deteriorate with time.</p>
<p>Aluminum patio furniture is a better bet over the long term.  Entertainers and hosts don’t want to worry about whether their furniture looks its best.  They don’t have time to repaint or repair before the big day.  They simply want to take care of the myriad of other details and let the guests relax on the patio.</p>
<p>Manufacturing processes also contribute to the quality of the furniture.  The extent of careful craftsmanship that goes into each piece will make an enormous difference to the durability and value of it.</p>
<p>Your backyard décor might suit a certain material best or your personal tastes may find you gravitating towards a particular type.  Wicker, for instance, is a favorite of many homeowners.  Be sure that you always invest in the highest quality wicker that is made carefully and skillfully, that way you can rest assured it will last and stand up well to frequent use.</p>
<p>What Makes for Good Design?</p>
<p>Not only do you want patio furniture made with high quality materials and solid construction, but excellent designs will make your patio parties more memorable and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Patio furniture for entertaining is about more than just size.  Sure, you will need large tables and extra seating, not to mention shade and places for your guests to lounge.  But the shape, structure and feel of the furniture is what makes it more than just adequate.</p>
<p>Shapes are important and need to partially fit within your tastes.  Rounded corners and oblong, oval shaped tables are best for a crowd as they fit more people in and still encourage conversation.  But if your tastes lean more towards a rectangular shape, then by all means invest in that. Think about the layout of your patio as well to choose a table (or tables) that will fit well within it.</p>
<p>The structure of your patio furniture shouldn’t be dismissed as unimportant and may depend on the type of entertaining you do.  Active, crowded parties with guests of all ages will be served best by smaller, compact chairs that have a simple shape and frames that allow for stacking.  If you cater to more of a subdued crowd that enjoys lounging and resting beside the fire pit then low, deep patio couches and chaises are more appropriate.</p>
<p>Don’t forget that the feel of your furniture is also important.  You want something that is firm enough for good wear, but soft enough to make your guests comfortable throughout the festivities.  Watch out for sharp corners, rough textures and surfaces that get too hot in the sun.</p>
<p>By choosing quality furniture in comfortable and smart designs you can be sure that aspect of your entertaining is well looked after.  Have plenty of seats, room for every guest and provide extra surfaces to set down drinks and handle food platters.  With enough solid patio furniture to depend on you can host party after party and keep the guests coming all summer long.</p>
