Description:
Created an Ocean Friendly Garden Landscape with financial support from City of Seattle's Rain-wise program. Garden elements included a 140 SF rain-garden plumbed with a 4" inlet pipe re-directing roof-top runoff from municipal stormwater system. Two 4" overflow lines allowed for rain-garden to exceed maximum size requirements by City of Seattle, and to help mitigate entire roof area. Nearly 550 SF of existing turf was removed, a replaced with primarily native shrubs and groundcovers. All areas were amended with healthy living soils and mulched to promote low maintenance and water conservation. For further information, please contact Cole Thompson at wcolethompson@gmail.com.
