Every time it rains, much of that clean rainwater drains into our sewer systems. Not only does this prevent the water from contributing to a healthy ecosystem, it can also carry harmful pollutants into oceans and reservoirs. With the assistance of professional landscaping services, however, a rain garden can help preserve clean rainwater and create a beautiful focal point in your yard in the process.

What Is a Rain Garden & What Are Its Benefits? 

Rain Garden Basics

A rain garden is a shallow depression in your yard that serves as a natural gathering point for rainwater. Typically located next to a drainage source such as a downspout and planted with deep-rooted and local flora, these gardens serve as gorgeous examples of native landscaping. They are also an excellent natural method of keeping the water cycle intact without wasting pure rainfall. 

Benefits of a Rain Garden

The most noticeable benefit of a rain garden is its aesthetic beauty. With loads of natural rainwater, the areas bloom with colorful life that adds a pleasing touch to any yard. This aesthetic beauty also increases the curb appeal of your home, which can come in handy if you ever decide to put your house on the market.

Rain gardens also help save both money and time. When you hire a landscaping service to install one of these features, you can cut back on your monthly water bill by eliminating daily plant watering. Additionally, the time you would have spent tending to your garden’s watering needs can now be spent on other pursuits. Ask your local landscaping service how a rain garden can benefit your particular property.
