RAIN GARDENS

Rain gardens are a beautiful, practical way to manage stormwater runoff on Portland properties. We build these often as a solution to keep water on site, watering your landscape and recharging the groundwater. Additionally, the City of Portland offers discounts on your stormwater management fee when you add a rain garden because they reduce the risk of sewage system backups and overflow into the Willamette River during heavy rains.

The eye-catching boulder placement and water-loving plants we use – such as carex, red twig dogwood, and vine maple – create such a lovely aesthetic, you might forget rain gardens are a problem solver!
