Blog Rain Gardens 101: Managing Water Runoff with DLS Landscaping Solutions Aug 02, 2024

Rain gardens are a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to managing water runoff on your property, and DLS Landscaping is here to provide you with expert solutions to effectively implement them. In this blog post, we will discuss the basics of rain gardens and how they can benefit your landscaping and hardscaping projects.

What is a rain garden? A rain garden is a planted depression that allows rainwater runoff from impervious urban areas like roofs, driveways, walkways, and compacted lawns to be absorbed. This helps reduce stormwater runoff and pollution, as well as recharging local groundwater sources. Rain gardens are typically filled with native plants and grasses that can absorb large amounts of water and help filter out pollutants.

Why are rain gardens important? Rain gardens play a crucial role in sustainable landscaping practices by reducing the flow of stormwater runoff into storm drains and water bodies. By capturing rainwater on-site and allowing it to slowly infiltrate into the ground, rain gardens help to alleviate flooding, erosion, and pollution. They also provide habitat for birds, butterflies, and other beneficial wildlife.
