The most important thing for landscaping in your yard is to slow the water down and let it percolate into the soil. This prevents erosion, cleans the water as it enters the ground or other bodies of water and helps with flooding.
Rainwater gardens in swales slow water down and divert water from runoff. It also uses the water to grow pollinator plants.
Incorporating drainage into bio-swales, supporting native plant life and adding aesthetic value as well. Turning these wet areas, that are typically hard to maintain, into beautiful spaces crawling with thousands of animals, insects and micro-organisms.
We can help! We take a holistic view of your yard and envision places for people and habitats and how we can merge them into the yard you envision. This can include: Meadows, Bio-Swales, Rain Gardens, French Drains, Catch Basins, Grading and Drainage.
