Sustainable landscaping starts with managing the water already falling on your property. This category covers rainwater harvesting systems, from simple rain barrels to modular tank setups like Aquascape's Rainwater Harvesting System (with its built-in filtration and pondless waterfall integration) and larger-scale solutions from Watts and WISY. You'll find guidance on tank sizing against real household water use — the average US household can use thousands of gallons weekly on irrigation alone — plus rain garden design and permeable paving that reduce runoff instead of just redirecting it. It's practical, product-backed content for anyone trying to make their landscape both beautiful and water-smart.
