Make a Rain Barrel a Part of Your Landscape Design

March 31, 2014 | By webadmin

During the hot summer months, up to 40% of our water bills are tied to the watering our lawn and landscape. Collecting rain with a rain barrel during the year can offset a bit of that cost even if you are only using your rain barrels to water your container plants or edible gardens.

Adding a rain barrel to the landscape doesn’t have to be an eyesore. Planning and good design can make it a beautiful part of a water-wise garden. There are so many different styles of rain catchers; we can definitely find a style that matches your home and landscape. Plus, rain barrels are tax-free!

Once you make the decision to add a rain barrel to the landscape, let us help you disguise it to be an element of the design of your garden. Strategically placed arbors, shrubs and other plants can turn it into an interesting landscape feature.
