Dirty paws and drainage issues turned into this. Just sit with that for a moment… There is a simple french drain helping to slow down and spread out water. Roots of water loving plants absorb water too. This is actually the fanciest looking rain garden I’ve ever seen. An awkward downward sloping back yard turned into three levels of living space and a fenced organic garden with micro orchard. There’s food, perennials, trees and evergreens everywhere. I think it was 19 kinds of fruit last count. Can you find the Catio? Plus, a firepit and bocci court on the green lawn make parties here a blast. The adorable directional sign points to their favorite vacation spots reminding you that your back garden should be your happy place every day. One of my all time favorites. PM me if you want something like this.
