Capturing water through rain gardens, dry creek beds, and swales is one of the most impactful ways homeowners can support a healthier environment—right in their own yards. These features help slow, spread, and sink rainwater into the ground, reducing runoff that often carries pollutants into local streams. By mimicking natural hydrology, they recharge groundwater, reduce erosion, and prevent flooding. They also create habitat for pollinators and wildlife, while supporting deep-rooted native plants that improve soil health. With climate change intensifying storm events, managing water wisely isn’t just smart—it’s essential. Integrating these solutions transforms your landscape into part of the ecological solution.
