Stormwater Management

Heavy rains can cause erosion but can also wash insecticides or fertilizers used on lawns into nearby waterways, where they severely harm aquatic wildlife. Even pet waste contains harmful pollutants. 

Vegetated surfaces help slow down rainwater runoff, encouraging water infiltration and the deposition of dirt and debris carried by rainwater, keeping pollutants out of the stormwater system or local waterways. Adding more native plants will help to reduce water runoff from your landscape further and improve water quality in your community. 

Rainscaping installations can help you control erosion and make better use of rainwater.
