Leveraging the Landscape to Manage Water
This is a favorite of mine…

Beginning…. to …. well, almost the end………
We still need to add a tree, and divert the downspout to the rain garden, & also add a rain barrel.
The hard work was done by Let’s Go Chicago’s participants!

Please check out this video of the Let’s Go Chicago team laying some drainpipe at one of our projects. We had a big rain last week and were absolutely thrilled to receive an email from our client indicating there was no more seepage through her basement wall!
