Floods can have a devastating impact on homes and properties. However, with the right landscaping practices, you can help mitigate the damage caused by floods. In this post, we will outline step-by-step the best practices for landscaping to reduce the impact of floods.

Firstly, planting trees, shrubs, and other vegetation can help prevent soil erosion and absorb excess water. 
Secondly, strategically placing rain gardens and bioswales can collect and filter rainwater, reducing the amount of water that enters your property. 
Thirdly, installing permeable pavement or gravel walkways can allow water to penetrate the ground more easily. Lastly, creating a slope or a swale in your yard can direct water away from your home and towards the drainage area.
By implementing these best practices, you can reduce the impact of floods on your property and contribute to the overall well-being of your community. Let's work together to reduce the impact of floods on our homes and communities. Try implementing some of these best practices in your landscaping today and see the difference it can make!
