Rain Garden Installation
Planted basins that soak up runoff and turn the wet spot into the best-looking bed in the yard
A premium take on rain garden installation
A rain garden is a shallow, planted depression positioned to catch runoff from a roof, driveway, or slope and let it soak into the ground within a day or two. It handles water the way a drain does, but it also adds color, feeds pollinators, and reduces what runs into local creeks. We size the basin to the drainage area, amend the soil so it actually infiltrates through clay, build the inlet and overflow, and plant it with moisture-tolerant natives like Joe-Pye weed, switchgrass, black-eyed Susan, and inkberry holly.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Sized to the roof or paved area draining into it
- Soil amended for infiltration in heavy clay
- Stone inlet and overflow to prevent erosion
- Native, moisture-tolerant plant palette
- Mulched and edged like a finished bed
- Pairs with downspout extensions and swales
