Rain Gardens

A rain garden turns a challenging wet spot or drainage area into a beautiful, purposeful part of the landscape. Fern & Root designs rain gardens that capture and slow stormwater runoff while creating a lush, layered garden that feels intentional and naturally connected to its surroundings.

​

Using plants selected for your site’s sun, soil, moisture, and growing conditions, we create gardens that can handle periods of both wet and dry weather while providing seasonal color, texture, and habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Thoughtful grading, plant placement, and naturalistic design allow the rain garden to work with the movement of water through your property—not against it.

​

The result is a hardworking landscape feature that helps manage stormwater while adding beauty, biodiversity, and year-round interest to your yard.
