    Our Solutions

    Rain Gardens

    Planted depressions that capture and filter runoff. These beautiful gardens absorb rainwater while providing habitat for pollinators and adding color to your landscape.

    $3,000 - $8,000

    Retention Ponds

    Permanent ponds that hold and slowly release water. These can become beautiful water features with fish, plants, and waterfalls while serving a functional purpose.

    $8,000 - $25,000+

    Bioswales

    Vegetated channels that slow and filter water as it moves across your property. Native plantings create natural beauty while managing runoff.

    $2,500 - $6,000

    RainXchange Systems

    Capture rainwater to power water features like Disappearing Waterfalls. Turn stormwater into a resource while creating a stunning focal point.

    $6,000 - $15,000

    French Drains & Dry Creek Beds

    Decorative drainage solutions that look intentional, not like an afterthought. Natural stone creek beds become landscape features even when dry.
