Recognizing the potential to capture water on site, the rain garden is at the heart of the design for this backyard. Rainwater on site is gathered from rain gutters and released through an intricate series of stone runnels and scuppers, ultimately being released into a formalized sedge garden.

Serving as an effective way to manage stormwater, the rain garden provides visual interest while also tying the various materials and areas of the garden together. Other areas of the garden include a tea house (formally a shed), a private patio, IPE wood, tiered deck and an entertaining patio.
In collaboration with
Pistils Landscape Design, the first phase of installation has just been completed.
