A rain garden is a shallow, planted depression which allows runoff from surfaces like roofs and driveways to be collected and absorbed, with overflow stormwater then entering the storm sewer. Rain gardens help to improve water quality in nearby bodies of water and cut down on the levels of pollutants reaching nearby streams and creeks. The plants used are often native, since the often do not require fertilizer and can attract native butterflies, birds, and beneficial insects. Wildflowers, ferns, rushes, shrubs, and small trees can take up excess water, with the remaining water filtering through the soil before entering the groundwater system.

Rainwater harvesting has been around for decades, but only recently has it received national attention due to water shortages throughout the United States. Since harvesting rainwater is relatively new to the USA, the sizes of many of the available tanks and barrels are not suitable for the average home and garden.

With this in mind, we have worked with companies that have designed rainwater harvesting tanks that may be a better fit for your smaller residential and commercial needs. We offer many solutions, which allow customers to choose which style fits their application best. All tanks come with features and benefits that set them apart from conventional farm tanks, allowing customers to store rainwater safely for months at a time.
