Residential/Commercial Green Infrastructure
At our Galena office we have installed an example stormwater management system for residential homeowners to follow. It includes two rain barrels and an approximately 130 square foot rain garden that treats approximately 1,000 square feet of roof runoff. Rain gardens, like any landscaping in your yard, can include a wide variety of plants, including wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. We designed our rain garden to bloom in early July with red, white, and blue flowers, but we can work with you to tailor a planting plan that fits with your existing landscaping. Planting considerations often include deer resistance, bird and butterfly attraction, color, blooming period, and hardiness. Our rain garden was constructed using local contractors and suppliers. Below is a breakdown of the costs associated with construction of our system.
