Landscaping with greater purpose

As winter wanes and spring approaches the time is perfect for planning. Consider combining the perfect design for your property with the added benefit of protecting our precious water supply. Sustainable landscaping takes into consideration alleviating storm water runoff from surfaces such as roofs, walks and driveways. Utilizing rain water gardens and permeable surfaces will help reduce the amount of pollution that goes into our waterways by filtering the water into the subsoil instead of allowing it to drain into storm sewers. Beautiful!
