Do you have a sloping lawn or a shallow depression where the rain always seems to collect and nothing seems to grow?
If yes, then you will want to consider a rain garden.
Rain gardens are ideal solutions to drainage problems, which may plague your otherwise beautiful lawn.
Not only are rain gardens an attractive way to address a common lawn issue, they are a smart water-wise solution bringing multiple benefits.
What is a rain garden?
A rain garden is designed to catch water. Instead of rainwater running from your downspout into a muddy pit, ditch or low-lying area, a rain garden captures, filters and reabsorbs water. Native plants and stone construction filter the water while making an eye-catching feature.
Rain gardens provide many benefits:
- Replaces an unattractive area with a beautiful garden
- Conserves water that that would otherwise become polluted “run-off”
- Protects water quality
- Reduces flooding and erosion
Rebate for your rain garden
Rain gardens are such a benefit for the environment, that Austin Water provides a rebate for their construction.
