"We are proud to say, we have had the pleasure of dealing with Living Art Water Gardens for the past 15 years. Their professionalism, customer service and visionary designs are remarkable! Unfortunately, 16 years ago Living Art Water Gardens was not available and we went with another company to design and install some water features in an unusable and ugly portion of our yard. The best decision we made, over 15 years ago, was to call the team at Living Art Water Gardens. Over the years, they have worked to correct all the problems we were having; just a few of these problems were the uncontrollable water leaks (causing high water bills), lighting problems, and the ponds always looking dirty. We are happy to say that with their help we have finally turned that unsightly ugly grassy area between us and our neighbor into a beautiful water feature and gardens that we are proud to call our “Water Park”. It takes up about ¼ of our property, efficiently moving about 2500 gph and is a clean year round home to several large Koi and Goldfish. We can enjoyed it from several different angles: the first and second story decks, inside our home, the little covered porch down in the gardens or just walking around the different features. Our friends and family, from the smallest children to the oldest adults, loves to come over and safely enjoy the Water Park year round. Unlike some ponds we have seen, our Water Park comes alive once the sun goes down, the colored lights in the bubbling boulders and the lights inside the ponds are beautiful. Like us, our neighbors love the sights and sounds of the water. Every year we have the team from Living Art Water Gardens come to do a “cleanout” of the Water Park. This includes removal of all the leaves and other debris (that comes with Alabama fall and winter), trimming up the water plants, and keeping the fish healthy and happy. We are very picky and do not want to see any liner or lighting wires – we like the natural/been here forever look. The pride they take in their work and keeping their customers happy shows! Before all the repairs and redesign that Mr Jake Bright (Owner/Designer) made, the cleanout process took a full three days. Now this is an efficient one day process. Just the other night, we had a gathering of friends and family and no one wanted to go inside – we all stayed outside to enjoying the sights and sounds of Water Park until late in the evening. We have proudly recommended Living Art Water Gardens to several family and friends for their landscape needs and none have been disappointed!! If anyone is looking at an uninspired backyard that they would like to turn it into a beautiful “Park” like setting, please giving Living Art Water Gardens a call and let their landscape design visions work for you."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.
