[quote=Anonymous]DC recommends several landscaping compaies that will add a rain garden to a private yard. (DC helps fund the program but nearly all these companies will travel to MoCo to do it on your dime.) Basically, they figure out where the water wants to collect and plant that area with plants that will absorb the water and hold back erosion. Stormwater from your yard will drain into the garden and may sit there briefly until itabsorbs into the soil but it will keep the rest of your yard from becoming a muddy mess. AND it filters out the toxic stuff before it drains into the rivers. Here's the list: https://doee.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/ddoe/publication/attachments/2018%20Permeable%20Surface%20Rebate%20Contractor%20List%20-%208.24.18.pdf [/quote]
