WHAT
IS A RAIN GARDEN?
A rain garden
is a specialized garden that captures run-off from your
property (usually from a downspout or sump pump output) and
slowly soaks it into the ground (typically in a few hours),
rather than letting the water flow into a storm drain. A
rain garden will help filter out pollutants, absorb excess
water that could cause flooding and erosion, and replenish
our ground water supply. It's
a simple solution that you can do to help conserve and
protect water - a vital resource. See photos of
my rain
garden.
Good-Natured Landscapes LLC can design a rain garden for
you that will not only look beautiful, but will blend in
with the rest of your landscape, have the right combination
of plants for your site even when it's not raining, and in
the right location. We can make a difference, one yard at a
time!
