It's never too late to protect your personal property.

Prior to your property being developed, it contained a natural water filtration system. Rainwater flowed into natural low-lying areas where native plants absorbed a portion of the water. The rest percolated into the ground feeding streams and creeks with cool groundwater at a fairly constant rate. During your property development, these natural low-lying areas were probably leveled off thereby disrupting the natural system.

A rain garden is a planted area on your property that is designed to absorb rainwater runoff from your roof, driveway, walkway, or compacted lawn areas. By allowing rainwater to soak into the ground, as opposed to flowing into storm drains and surface waters, you can help reduce erosion, flooding, and water pollution in your neighborhood and return your property back to its natural system.
 

We recommend native plants for rain gardens because they generally don't require fertilizer and are more tolerant of the local climate, soil, and water conditions. The plants — a selection of wetland edge vegetation, such as wildflowers, sedges, rushes, ferns, shrubs and small trees — capture, channel, divert, and make the most of the natural rain and snow that falls on your property.

As professional landscape artists and native Ohio plant specialists, we can create an effective and naturally beautiful rain garden for your property.
