Stormwater management

DIY stormwater management

Many homeowners struggle with the damaging effects of stormwater runoff in their landscape. From soil erosion and damage to garden beds and lawns to threats to the home’s siding and foundation, water can really take its toll. Typical DIY attempts to reroute water from downspouts can be both ineffective and unsightly.

Our team has specialized training and expertise in ecological stormwater management. Thoughtful property analysis is part of our initial site consultation. At that time, we will discuss the most appropriate options for managing stormwater runoff and drainage issues.

Creation of landscape drywell to manage stormwater runoff


We frequently recommend the installation of drywells to divert water underground. This option is highly effective and eliminates the concern for heavy rain events for many years.

Proper site assessment, followed by grading of the landscape and installation of appropriately sized drywells is a specialized skill of the Parker Garden team and provides a sound foundation for our hardscape and landscape designs.
