Rain Gardens
Rain gardens are a great way to improve both the environment and your yard at the same time. A rain garden is a shallow depression that is planted with deep-rooted native plants and grasses. The purpose of a rain garden is to catch water runoff before it reaches the street and storm sewer system. The runoff will be able to percolate slowly into the ground, recharging groundwater and keeping pollutants such as oil, salt, and fertilizers out of waterways and groundwater. Our designers can locate your rain garden in ideal locations to catch runoff from your driveway, downspouts, and lawn. The garden will be designed beautifully, and can attract birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The garden will also provide a way to teach your children and neighbors about the importance of protecting our fresh water.
