Designscapes.ws (Water Solutions)
This is rainwater harvesting at its best, the natural way. With this Xeriscaping design, you can create a blended garden, including water catchment systems and sub-surface drip irrigation for greater erosion control (geo-technical services available).
In Seattle, a 2,000 square-foot roof produces 37,000 gallon of clean, fresh rainwater every year. We capture rainwater for a rain garden, bio-swale, or water retention system. The water retention system is the only one that you can pump water back out of it. The rain garden is a dedicated surface for water run-off and the bio-swale, which is an indentation in the lawn.
Greenscreens.ws Designs
This vertical wall of metal or wood allows you to put in foliage, vines, and plants. They are great barriers between properties and provide shade using heavy-duty wire mesh or trellis that is put on a southern exposure. Furthermore, by putting up green screens you insulate the house and create a cool zone.
