WINTER LANDSCAPING: TUNE IN TO THE FOUR WINDS
reserva da Luz - Mata Porcas - Lote 25
This exercise seems especially fitting in the new year. If you have a yard or garden (or, even if you do not), go outside and face each direction in turn, concentrating on what is special about each aspect.
- What are the features of the land?
- How do the trees grow?
- Where does the prevailing wind come from?
- Why is the snow deeper in one area than in another? Each direction has its own qualities.
THE NORTH
The north is often associated with cold, harsh winds of the winter season. However, the winds are also cleansing, just as they clear the dead leaves from trees to start again.
This direction also speaks to ideas and seeds waiting to germinate. So, the north symbolizes patience, endurance, thankfulness, and trust.
The north side of your yard is a perfect place to plant a double row of sheltering evergreens to block the wind. Since the north is also the direction of contemplation it would be a good spot for a meditative Zen garden or sculpture garden. Quiet colors like white, cream and silver represent the north.

Morning light is good for growth so look for trees that block the morning sun from reaching your garden and prune or remove them altogether. Most perennials thrive where there is morning sun.
East facing gates are welcoming and the east side of the yard is also a good place to locate a bench or hammock to spark creative daydreams.
Plants with gold or yellow flowers and foliage represent the east.
THE SOUTH
South reminds us of warmth, growth, fulfillment, and passion. The Sun is at its highest and drawing life from the Earth.
The southern direction also symbolizes faith, change, self-sufficiency, and strength. A south-facing slope is ideal for a vegetable garden, a large open field, or flower gardens.
Plant a border of hot colors in a south-facing garden or locate a fire pit or barbeque there. Triangular shapes can take the place of real fire, so you can use a triangular shaped sculpture or even a three-sided stone to represent fire.
Plants with purple or blue flowers contrast with the hot colored flowers and calm the heat.
THE WEST
Weather most often moves west to east in North America. To Native Americans, the great Thunderbird lived in the west and sent thunder and rain from its direction.
As water is associated with the west, that makes it a good place for a small pond, fountain, or other water feature. Rich reds and oranges echo the colors of sunset in a west facing garden.
The west also symbolizes the end of the day, where the sun sets. It symbolizes travel, the attaining of goals, and of compassion. It is also a social direction that encourages fellowship. A west facing patio, shaded by deciduous trees is a perfect spot for gathering with others at the end of the day.
To chart the progress of your garden throughout the year, snap a picture looking in each direction on the first of every month. You’ll be surprised at the transformation as the seasons change.

Projectos de Arquitectura Paisagistica - Desenho de Jardins e Areas Verdes - Espacos Verdes - Arranjos Exteriores
Projetar um ambiente com plantas é tarefa árdua que deve ser conduzida com mãos de maestro, onde entram em jogo fatores como forma, harmonia, cor, textura, beleza e técnica.
Não existe um projeto igual ao outro, a resolução de um bom paisagismo, de um bom jardim, passa pela integração com a residência, com o edifício e pelos critérios com a escolha das plantas que melhor se adaptam ao clima e suas finalidades.
Valorizar a beleza das plantas individualmente, deixando de lado o efeito das massas agrupadas, evitando-se amontoados de espécies muito próximas, tendo cada planta o seu lugar onde pode ser observada como única e como elemento de um conjunto maior que é o jardim. Que não se restringe só às plantas, mas aos caminhos, churrasqueiras, bancos, pisos, pergolados, quiosques, fontes, piscinas e acessos. São recursos que quebram a monotonia e podem ser usados com muita criatividade.
Hoje o paisagismo se funde às construções. O verde realça as formas, disfarça as imperfeições, rompe a rigidez dos materiais, suaviza o dia a dia de trabalho. Deve ser estudado e elaborado para que possa valorizar ainda mais o projeto arquitetônico e sua finalidade.
A natureza se apresenta como uma grande aliada para valorizar e humanizar estabelecimentos comerciais, tornando lojas e escritórios mais atraentes. O verde é capaz de amenizar a rigidez de um local de trabalho, criando ambientações mais acolhedoras, contribuindo para o aumento de produtividade pelo efeito tranqüilizante que as plantas causam nas pessoas.
O profissional de paisagismo trabalha em etapas, até chegar ao projeto definitivo. A primeira delas é o estudo preliminar, onde são feitos os levantamentos de todos os dados técnicos do ambiente, como luz, volumes e espaços, e entrevista com o cliente a respeito sobre suas expectativas e necessidades.
A Segunda etapa é o anteprojeto, que é apresentado por desenhos para a melhor visualização do trabalho, espécies de plantas, troca de idéias e mudanças se necessário.
Com a aprovação do cliente passa-se para a última etapa, o projeto de execuções, que traz os detalhes da construção do jardim. Através de plantas e detalhes, especificação da vegetação, quantidades de cada espécie, nomes científicos e o custo da execução da obra.
Para reforma do jardim, o paisagista segue as mesmas etapas, discriminando as obras necessárias para a sua reformulação, tanto da vegetação quanto dos elementos construtivos.
Também a manutenção das plantas, mesmo em vasos, é essencial para o seu bom desenvolvimento, é muito importante que um técnico especializado faça o acompanhamento do jardim, para que depois de implantado possa se desenvolver e durar muito tempo, ficando a cada ano mais bonito e atraente.
Seguindo um projeto e as orientações de um profissional, evita-se aborrecimentos e surpresas desagradáveis, como as plantas amarelarem e morrerem, causando um prejuízo não recuperável.
Hoje em dia, salvo raras exceções, o paisagismo é extremamente comercial. Vai-se em busca do menor preço e com uma preocupação super imediatista, em que os critérios técnicos e a integração com o meio ambiente são esquecidos ou ignorados.
Felizmente aos poucos esta mentalidade está mudando, pois a cada experiência desagradável, as pessoas procuram um serviço especializado, onde recebem a orientação técnica de um paisagista profissional.

Garden Maintenance
Whether your grass needs cutting, flower beds need a better treatment or your shrubs and trees need pruning, we can offer a competitive quote and the best professional for your garden maintenance. In the Algarve the minimum recommended frequency of visits is once a week, the Algarve hot weather in the summer makes it impossible for plants to be well nurtured if unattended for longer than that. Our plans usually consist of weekly maintenance visits. During the course of these visits the gardener will follow a predefined plan to ensure that the lawn, plants and trees will receive the nutrients they require. Anti-parasitic spraying will follow a predefined plan or whenever the plants may need it, as in cases of sudden plagues.
Planting
No planting job is too big or small, shall you require a different combination of shrubs, trees or a new array of flowerbeds we will happily assist you with this. Not only will we plant them but our garden maintenance services will make sure that those plants will grow healthy by continuing to feed them the nutrients they need to reach adulthood.
Irrigation
The Algarve Summer Sun can be ruthless on plant life, without the proper irrigation or in case the irrigation fails for as few as 3 to 4 days the lawn may suffer irreparable damage. It is important for the irrigation plan to meet the requirements of the garden, cheap and poor quality irrigation materials will many times end up costing the owner multiple times the initial investment; whether by wasting water, by its short life or worse, ruining the garden by failing to do their job, to irrigate. At ECO, quality irrigation material is always included in garden designs and irrigation planning. Every irrigation plan will be backed up with a warranty against any garden damage caused by irrigation flaws.
