Two downspouts, one basin, no puddle on the walk. Will talked us out of a lined basin we would have hated.

Will sizes rain gardens to roof area and Durham’s clay. He plants the wet-to-dry gradient and leaves the overflow obvious so the next storm is not a surprise. Lined water features and excavation that needs a license are out.
Consults include a one-page habitat score and a plant list keyed to this county.
