Raingardens and Right-of-Way stormwater gardens slow and hold stormwater so that it has a chance to percolate into the soil.  If the water is slowed and held, and if the soil is permeable and planted with the right plants, this valuable water can recharge our groundwater.

Water is a resource.

Designing with systems, both natural and man-made, with careful consideration of stewardship and maintenance, will go far in sustainable landscape and sites design.
