What Are Rain Gardens?
Once you have undergone your Rain Garden Installation in Stockton, ultimately it’s a natural flood preventative They are a shallow permeable planted bed that is designed to receive water run-off from a paved area or roof. As much as we may think they are, our gardens are not always equipped to cope with the amount of rain we can often experience. When flash floods take place, water will run off over concrete and other surfaces, meaning it will all lead to your drainage systems where they may not always be able to cope with the amount of water.
Too much water in your drains can have serious consequences as when the water builds and rises up it can endanger people and buildings in the surrounding area. Rain Gardens are the perfect solution for both domestic and commercial settings that may flood easily. They are shallow depressions, planted with flowers and vegetation which have been designed to absorb surface runoff water. When they absorb the water, they will slow the rate at which it enters the drainage system and will sometimes overload it.
Our gardens aren’t always well-equipped to cope with heavy rain. Water easily runs over concrete and other impermeable surfaces, pouring into the drainage system and sometimes overloading it. This can have serious consequences; the drains fill up and water spills out, endangering people and damaging property. A new Rain Gardens can be part of the solution. By looking to nature, and learning from its drainage systems, we can reduce the threat to our properties and environment.
If you are in need of a new and professional rain garden installation in Stockton, it can be very beneficial. As surface water runs over impermeable surfaces, it picks up pollutants like oil and fertilisers, washing them into our waterways. But rain gardens have an additional benefit that they help recreate the natural water cycle and reduce water quality problems by filtering this poor-quality water through their soil and plant roots. This filtration helps remove solid and dissolved pollutants protecting our streams and ditches, properties, and environment.
How Do Rain Gardens Work?
Rainwater makes its way from the roof to drain via a gutter/downspout. Normally this happens without a problem. However, during periods of heavy rain, water can pour into the drain faster than it can flow away, causing flooding. By redirecting water from your downpipe into a rain garden, you can ease the pressure on the drainage system and nourish a healthy bed of vegetation in the process. With a simple Rain Garden installation, you can help prevent flooding, reduce erosion and more. In others, you’ll need to create a channel, the easiest way to do this is via a lined swale, a small passage which can carry water down an incline to the mouth of the rain garden.
The rain garden itself is a shallow depression with a wide mouth running at a right angle to the flow of water. It needs to be dug on a slope with the downhill end and sides walled around by a soil berm (a raised bank around the garden edge). The berm will hold back water during a storm. In most cases, the garden will have an overflow provision, this might be an existing drain or an alternative drain. For this to work effectively, the overflow point will need to be higher than the receiving drain.
By changing our outside space with a new Rain Garden installation in Stockton, we can help reduce localised flooding and at the same time provide benefit to both wildlife and people. Gardens, whether small or large, can also play an additional, important part in greening our urban and suburban environments. Furthermore, it helps to reduce garden flooding, providing a source of habitats for wildlife and improve water quality.
