Add a Rain Garden to Your Lawn Be Gone!
A rain garden is a shallow landscaped depression that captures, cleans, and absorbs rain water from a roof, driveway or street. This practice mimics natural hydrology by infiltrating and evapotranspiring stormwater runoff as it collects and moves through a rain garden.
