Project Description

This project provides a great example of a before/after transformation of a home landscape using multiple BMPs. The combination of the BMPs, native landscaping, a rain garden, and a permeable pavers system resulted in improved infiltration rate, soil composition, wildlife habitat, and general aesthetics of the property. This project was also done affordably and could be replicated at other residential sites.
