Stairs Can Give You a Leg Up

By John G Stone

You probably do not put too much thought into it, but the simple staircase is a wonderful answer to the question of how to go up (or down) into or inside a building. In order to span a lengthier vertical distance than can be easily achieved by a person, a staircase breaks the journey into "bite-sized" pieces that most people have no trouble navigating. Imagine if all stairs were ladders, and what a problem that would be! Here are some things to think about the next time you are on the stairs.

There is a specialized terminology to the construction of stairways that is used when they are built or designed. The word stairway (or staircase) encompasses the sum of the parts, which includes the steps, the railing, and whatever support structures and embellishments are also there. A step or individual stair consists of two main parts: the tread, where you place your feet, and the riser, which is the vertical facing that connects the treads. If the tread overlaps the riser, the portion that juts out is called the nose. If the risers are absent (to give the stairs an exposed look), that is called a floating staircase. The (normally two) beams that run diagonally under the treads to support them are called the stringers or strings.

The railing that is provided for additional support for stair-climbers is also called a bannister. These are usually mandated by law through the building code to meet minimal safety standards. Balusters refer to spokes or posts that run from the tread to the bottom of the bannister (normally two per tread); newels refer to larger structural posts that go from the tread up past the bannister itself.

Many stairways open up at the bottom, insofar as the final step or two is wider than the others and extends out past the bannister(s). This setup is called a "bullnose," and it allows for a wider entry to the stairs, which can be handy at entrances to buildings. It is frequently seen with outdoor Concrete Steps at government buildings. Note that if the handrails spiral inward at the bullnose, those features are called volutes.

Stairs may be constructed from any number of materials, although stairs on the outside of a building are typically stone or concrete. Precast Steps are often an excellent choice, as they are very durable and low maintenance. Because the components have been precast, they can be installed year-round without difficulty.

The next time you take the stairs, stop for a moment and consider the amount of human ingenuity that went into getting you from here to there safely and efficiently. It is easy to take stairs for granted. But a well-maintained, safe staircase is crucial to the secure enjoyment of a building's inhabitants.

New Australian Standards For Retaining Walls

By Jerry Wilson

It is important that everyone involved in your project's construction uphold a commitment to Australian Standards for retaining wall structures and the components.

When shortcuts are taken with retaining wall systems, problems may not manifest for years, or may strike when the structure is put under stress, such as incidences of flood or high rainfall. This can involve very costly remediation work - which can be magnified if the problem flows on to affect nearby buildings and structures.

There are many points to consider when looking at steel and concrete in relation to meeting the Australian Standards of construction of your project, and all links must be considered.

- Steel Reinforcing in Retaining Wall Systems

AS4100 sets out the minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and modification of steelwork in structures. So when working with steel reinforcing for retaining walls, it is important to consider its quality. While the most obvious issue is whether the bar diameter and tensile strength of the reinforcement is appropriate for the load that it will be subject to, you also need to dig deeper to ensure that the steel has been treated correctly.

There can be a major difference in the quality of coating adherence between low-quality galvanised steel products and high-quality products. Always remember: just because it is technically galvanised, DOESN'T mean it is galvanised to standard. Typically these coatings need to have a 500-600 gram mass per unit area and 65-85 micron thickness. For example, AS4680 is the standard for zinc coatings on fabricated ferrous articles - that is, hot-dip galvanised structural steel, steel reinforcements, and assembled steel products.

This can particularly be an issue when it comes to steel structures or steel-supported concrete retaining walls built in marine splash zones. If your product components do not meet the Australian Standards for steel quality or galvanisation, the exposure to water and salt spray can lead to MAJOR problems.

- Concrete Retaining Wall Systems

AS3600 specifies the minimum requirement for the design and construction of concrete structures, and it is VITAL that you check your product components measure up.

Always check that the strength of the concrete is correct for the application. Also check what the required depth of cover for reinforcing is, to ensure strength and protection from possible future "concrete cancer" problems. Also check what the required depth of cover for reinforcing is, to ensure strength and protection from possible future "concrete cancer" problems.

Our manufacturing processes and products are inspected and certified on a monthly basis on confirm compliance with AS3600 Concrete Structures. We make sure that EVERY retaining wall project we complete is done properly.

Should You Plant Landscaping during Autumn or Spring?

By Alison Marianson

Ever wonder whether or not you'll want to be doing landscape planting for your bushes, perennials, grass as well as other plants in the spring or the fall season? The majority of people don't think about this. Many people just wait around for springtime to come to get the landscape started. Its a rather prevalent misunderstanding.

Planting your landscape during the fall season is best. The drought of This year showed the need for falltime landscape planting more than any other year we have witnessed in an exceedingly long time.

Many have called it the year "The Landscaping Apocalypse." There was a whole lot of plant death for many of our landscaping clients. Even the really devoted landscaping lovers ended the season having a great deal of the landscaping die.

Something that everyone did observe is the fact that all the landscaping that was withering was landscaping that was planted in the spring. Clientele which had planted within the falltime conversely had zero problems with keeping their landscape alive. There is a rather simple answer why this can be.

Planting in the fall season permits the landscaping to develop a substantial root system. Getting a robust and penetrating root system will be essential for your landscape to flourish. The thing is, the lower your root system goes into your dirt, the more water there is. Landscaping that has trivial root systems are going to have trouble staying alive during the high heat.

Don't be overly afraid that if you don't setup our landscaping during the fall of 2012 the 2013 landscape will die. If we have a great year you will likely be good. This high level of high temperature we all have experienced this year has shown the truth that landscaping in the autumn delivers very strong plants.

Here is a thought though, if autumn planted landscape managed to get through the drought, how well will autumn landscaping perform throughout a year of good weather conditions? With that said, if you invest in your landscaping right now before the winter months, you'll have a great deal less required servicing and plant watering next summer because the deep soil moisture content is going to be accomplishing a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

It's simply not the case that planting in the spring season is the best time to do your landscaping. And it's obviously a major bonus to not have to water the yard and perform landscape upkeep as much as you should with spring season landscape planting.

Don't Let Your House Go Down The Drain!

By Keith Klamer

Because water and mud can do serious and costly damage to real estate, proper drainage is essential in protecting homes and buildings from water intrusion. Whether it's due to rain water, lawn irrigation, or soil erosion, if property owners notice standing pools of water near their structures, it is vital they either fix an existing drainage system or install a completely new one.

Drainage issues can cause problems under homes in crawl spaces or basements, doing harm to the concrete footing and underground walls. In certain situations, it can even force inside basement walls to bow in due to the high pressure caused by subterranean water pushing in from outside. Water infiltration like this is hard to stop because the ultimate source of the water is almost impossible to locate.

If you've noticed water pooling outside your home, you'll want to install a french drain. This will not only carry away the water, but it will also help prevent water damage to your home.

Generally speaking, french drains should be installed at the lowest possible point on your property. But they can also be positioned anywhere else in your yard if the pooling water is not situated immediately next to your house. The end of the drain can be virtually anywhere so long as it's low enough that it won't allow water to back up to your home. Because gravity is involved, the water will flow naturally downward through the french drain and ultimately to the street.

The entire french drainage system is not buried very deep underground. But because these types of drains use gravity to help carry water away, it's vital that they be positioned on a downward slope of about an inch downward for every foot forward. In certain scenarios, this may necessitate some additional digging so as to ensure the downward slant.

In short, French drains create a subterranean channel to move water from one area to a lower one.

In some situations, french drains may be installed around the perimeter of the home. The drainage set-up ultimately flows out to the street and the city sewer system through pvc pipe and curb-cuts underneath the sidewalk.

2012's Burning Temps Has Significant Impact On Olathe Landscaping and Lawn Care

By Adam Bush

The drought in the Midwest currently is quite devastating to Olathe landscaping. The hybrid of exceptionally substantial temperatures and record minimal rain makes for hardships but not just for neighborhood landscaping, but for the economic conditions, farms and people.

Only getting three inches of snowfall in 2012 has been a record low in the Metro. We equally endured an really waterless springtime this year. There had been no more than 6in of rainfall, making it unquestionably the driest spring we've sustained ever since 1911. 2012's rain fall inside Olathe is 13 inches lower than regular. A further instrumental element in declining Olathe landscaping stands out as the uncommonly large amount of burning temperature ranges.

The toasty, dehydrated weather is not merely impacting the Olathe region unfortunately. A wide selection of states are now being declared catastrophe areas within the country, with approximately fifty percent of the country in a time of drought. The exceedingly high temperature is very similar to the time of the Dust Bowl. Pleasant landscaping has started to become a remote memory for lots of people, since a lot of places have now set watering limitations in position resulting from high water usage throughout the KC area.

For quite some time in the future, the financial crisis will likely be afflicted by the drought. A plant's vulnerability to illness and bugs heightens, resulting in a decline in a plant's overall output of fresh fruit. Plants that generate fruit might take a long time to recoup from the drought because the capacity to blossom may become affected.

The abnormal heat and absence of rainfall will be creating a surge in food prices as well. Livestock don't have enough plants to feed on, seeing that the landscaping the animals feed with is just too dried up. Folks throughout the Olathe metro are struggling with the elevated food prices.

Green landscaping and grass are currently turning brownish from the present drought we have been facing. The yellow grass that crunches beneath your shoes is most likely only dormant. Brown leaves already dropping away from trees and shrubs is the perfect example. Landscaping starts to go dormant to save energy levels and nutrients to pull through the burning hot temperatures and scarcity of water. Dormant and dead are actually separated by a thin line.

As your area Olathe landscaping business, we would love to provide a few simple tips for you to help save the grass. Simply scale back on the quantity of sprinkling your landscaping gets; while your landscaping is dormant, it is critical to continue to water the yard. Also, make certain to continue watering the "cool season turf" including blue grasses, fescues and ryes. All of these turfs will require no less than 2" of water every week, and they develop the best between 55 and 80 degree temperatures.

It is very important to be certain that you keep that sprinkler system on. The quality of the turf and landscaping that you'll have next year is going to be partially based upon your watering behavior this year.

2012's Scorching Heat Carries A Serious Effect On Olathe KS Landscaping and Lawn Care

By Lindsay Gates

Having merely 3in of total snow for 2012 was an obvious record-setting low with regards to the Olathe Metro. We moreover went through a particularly dry summer . There was just six inches of rain, which made it unquestionably the driest period we've lived with since 1911. This year's rain inside of Olathe is actually 13" below the average. An additional contributive aspect in regressing Olathe landscaping is the extraordinarily high amount of high temperature ranges.

Olathe is not the only location putting up with the drought though. Countless cities are now declared disaster areas across the united states, with approximately half the nation being in a season of drought. The years of the Dust Bowl endured very close patterns of serious weather. Attractive landscaping is now a faded memory for many, being that many locations have now set watering restrictions in place due to record water consumption around the metro area.

For many years ahead, the current economic crisis is going to be influenced by the drought.

Wonder if You Should Seed Landscape in the Fall or Spring?

By Melody Davis

Have you ever wondered whether you'll want to be doing landscape planting for your trees, perennials, sod as well as other plants in the springtime or the fall? If you just didn't realize, it is ok since most folks don't. In fact, the most frequent thing our landscaping company hear from the customers whenever it comes to putting together their landscaping is "we are going to just wait until spring season to setup our landscaping."

The fact of the matter is that autumn is the very best time to lay your grass and do all your landscaping. And the drought we've confronted this year has proven that.

This year was extremely tough for landscaping as a whole. A lot of people have called it the year "Landscaping Apocalypse." We've seen landscape clientele who were rather dedicated to watering their landscape and performing the required steps to keep everything living end up losing a great deal of their landscaping. The really devoted landscaping fanatics ending up having a lot of their landscaping perish.

Something that we did witness is that most of the landscaping which was withering had been landscaping which had been planted during the spring. A fascinating thing is the fact that there were not any kind of issues with those that planted in the fall season of 2011. There is a quite simple reason this is.

Planting in the falltime enables all of your landscaping to develop a substantial root system. Getting a solid and penetrating root system is essential for your landscape to flourish. The thing is, the further your root system goes into the dirt, the more water there is. Landscaping with superficial roots are going to have trouble staying alive during the high heat.

Bare in mind, the 2012 Landscaping Apocalypse our landscaping experienced was a one off heat spell. Putting together their landscaping in spring doesn't mean the landscape will absolutely perish though. An excellent year can do wonders for springtime rooted landscaping. The apocilyptic level of high temperature we all have encountered this season has shown that planting your landscape in the fall delivers strong plants.

Here's a question though, if fall planted landscaping managed to get through the scorching temperatures, how good will falltime landscaping do within a season of flourishing? If you'd like less maintenance and watering, making certain the plants possess strong and deep root systems will allow the water in the dirt to execute a great deal of work for you.

In conclusion, the regular misunderstanding that springtime planting is the best way to go just isn't legitimate. If you would like a much healthier landscape at the home for the summer pre-winter planting is the approach to take. And it is always a definite plus to not have to water and perform landscape upkeep as much as you should with springtime landscape planting. It is a win win circumstance for everybody.
