It is designed to temporarily hold and soak in rain water runoff that flows from roofs, driveways, patios or lawns. A rain garden is not a water garden. Nor is it a pond or a wetland. A rain garden is dry most of the time, and typically holds water only during and following a rainfall event. Because rain gardens will drain within 12-48 hours, they prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-421\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1847\" height=\"1523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document.jpg 1847w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document-768x633.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Document-1024x844.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1847px) 100vw, 1847px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>Grading<\/strong>: The reason for grading your yard is to move the water runoff from where it\u2019s currently traveling to a different location.<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>Berms<\/strong>: A berm is a small hill covered with grass or other plants that will divert runoff around what you want to protect.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-422\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthadelic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/e922e1bedd235126ad29dcf95bb96e67-1024x607.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Subsurface Drainage Systems:<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>French Drains<\/strong> provide an easy channel for water to flow through.
