Diversify Your Austin Yard with a Rain Garden from Maas Verde

Rain gardens are unique and aestheically pleasing outdoor features that function to keep rainwater on the land and provide natural water for your soil. Best of all, they can feature a wide variety of native flowers and plants that beautifully brighten up your yard while also helping the environment. Rain gardens are low areas/shallow depressions in a yard which are planted with native vegetation to create a colorful and functional outdoor feature for your home. When rain runs off other hard surfaces and collects in the low area of the rain garden, it soaks into the soil and provides numerous benefits.

Benefits of Rain Gardens in Austin, TX

Rain gardens are not only beautiful additions to your yard, but also provide many tangible benefits. Rain gardens conserve water, helping your plants grow and reducing the need to water them as frequently. Not only do they bring benefits to your own yard, they actually benefit the entire community and environment by protecting the water quality of the city. By diverting rainwater to flow into the garden instead of flowing freely, the rain garden helps to reduce flooding and erosion by letting the rainwater soak into the soil instead of running off of your property into nearby streams or creeks via drainage ditches. Not only do rain gardens prevent flooding in your community, the plants in the rain garden will naturally filter out pollutants from the water, so when that water reaches Austin streams via groundwater, it will be healthier and cleaner, keeping the Austin water supply unpolluted.
