Rain Gardens Show that HOAs and Condos are Green

                  Developer should build rain gardens in community association projects.


Condos and HOAs can all develop rain gardens. These are eye appealing gardens that manage or help manage stormwater runoff.

Many associations already have to manage and maintain highly technical stormwater control mechanical devices.   While rain gardens need to be maintained, they require little more effort than conventional gardens, they look nice, they help control and treat runoff, and they make a bold statement that the association is truly "green and caring."

Stormwater control can be accomplished through varied systems.  Depending upon the association's needs, a rain garden may provide a solution or at least part of a solution.  An engineer should evaluate your needs and make this determination -- in conjunction with the association board. 

When runoff is not controlled it leads to flooding, surface water pollution and property damage. New developments may require intricate stormwater control, and this can be part it.
