A Backyard Rain Garden in Hagerstown MD Washington County MD with Grosh's Lawn Service

One benefit of a Backyard Rain Garden in Hagerstown MD is that it allows the water to soak down through the soil filling our underground water supply and also reducing runoff and the effects of erosion on the top soil.

 Grosh's Lawn Service installs Rain Gardens in Williamsport, MD and Hagerstown, MD for clients who are looking to for a way to help the environment, conserve water and have a beautiful rain garden to show for their commitment to our natural resources.

In developments in Washington County MD rain gardens act as a buffer to keep all of the water from flowing into our sewers and stormwater treatment systems from being flooded.

Trees and plants are a cost effective way to fix and deal with this problem and Rain Garden is a green way of going about it.

Rain Gardens act as a natural sponge and soak up excess moisture and can be a small depression in a yard in a development to a large scale public green space that will handle the water from all near by properties.

Moisture loving plants are used of course in a Rain Garden and the plants will soak up the moisture and the soil will filter the water as it works it's way through the soil.

A side benefit to a rain garden is that the Rain Garden will attract butterflies and birds as well as different wild animals.

Rain Gardens also help stops pollution of our streams, creeks and the Potomac River that will end up in the Chesapeake Bay. Our fishing and swimming will be better with waters that have been filtered than water that was allowed to flow directly into the Potomac River.

Rain Gardens also protect our natural resources because water is soaked up in the rain gardens and not allowed to wash soil away if the rain garden was not there.

A Rain Barrel can be the first step and the water from a rain barrel can be used to water your trees, shrubs and flowers. An overflow for  any excess water than can flow from the rain barrel to the rain garden to allow all excess water to be soaked up by the rain garden.

A step in the right direction is by planting flowers at the end of your downspouts to start a small rain garden.

The pipe directs the flow of water to the rain garden to allow the water to soak into the soil instead of flowing across the soil increasing the likelihood of erosion.
