Incredible transition of a backyard erosion issue, into a beautiful and functional space. Sloped driveway led to large volume of water directed to backyard at high rate of speed and washing out slope. A custom box was created and 3 solid pipes were installed and run underground to a lower part of the yard into a dry riverbed to slow down the water. Rock was placed on the hillside for functionality, as well as design. Pine straw was placed in other areas for clean look.

NexGen Lawns installed artificial grass in those hard to maintain smaller landscaped areas with specialized air panels through AirField Systems. The AirDrain panels provide an extra one inch of air which allows for a vertical and horizontal drainage unmatched in the industry. Infill migration is a thing of the past! AirDrain is perfect around trees and landscape, instead of a gravel base. Allowing the trees surroundings to remain untouched. And what if you decide to remove the artificial turf, no digging out a gravel base of any kind. Just remove the grid, you’re done! The AirDrain panel is able to tolerate the harsh heat and bitter cold which classifies it as a “NoBreak” plastic. The specialized air panels install into place faster than gravel giving you that synthetic grass to enjoy sooner and year round.

Two part project with the first being an improvement of the drainage by connecting new pipe to existing running under the street, and concealing in a dry riverbed. Pipe was day-lighted to allow water to push over the wall and around the house, down the boat ramp. It provided for a functional solution, with a beautiful look. The second part of the project included the installation of a small Belgard retaining wall to lessen the slope of the yard, re-grading of yard with tree and shrub removal, installation of two dry riverbeds to the front to help with water drainage, shrub plantings, and installation of Emerald Zoysia turf. Area was touched up with pine straw for clean and finished look

This is a lakeside property that was on a slight incline. To help with erosion and drainage issue, we dug a new dry river bed that went from the side of the house all the way to the lakeshore. This corrected the drainage problem for this lakeside home. We then installed Zeon Zoysia throughout the property.

This is an example of a traditional landscaping in Austin.

A back yard with only a small exit for the rain water to drain out. The problem got solved with a rainwater catching system. Rocked drainage swales collect the rainwater from the downspouts and feed an underground basin made of Aquascape Aquabloxes. A natural waterfall at the brush line helps keeping the stored water fresh and adds an accent. Planting beds soften the look of the rocks and hard surfaces, unmaintained areas allow nature to get closer to the house.

Eco-Products reached out to Ecoscape with a new project in the spring of 2019. They were looking for help with water/drainage diversion challenge at their commercial property in central Boulder. The company's employee break room is adjacent to this parking area, so there was hope to make an outside 'break room' as part of the scope of work. End result is a robust drainage channel for the rooftop gutter water to flow-thru, and a low-maintenance patio space for the employees to enjoy!

This picture highlights both the two-tone Belgard Paver design and the freshly landscaped lawn and beds. However, we especially appreciate the clever use of recycled stack stone as drainage pathways in this wet area, where we also used Papyrus Plants because they love a warm, moist environment.
