- Video on techniques to prevent standing water and more seriously, flooding your home or basement. Deal with your yard after heavy rains using raid gardens which is a natural choice to correct it. Catchment with rain garden plants shown as well as runoff areas selected.

Rain garden catchments can help the water into the water-table naturally while preventing excessive erosion and runoff which strain city storm sewers, and cause flooding when drains become overwhelmed.
Rain gardens can also serve to direct water to trees and shrubs that need lots of water like cedars and decorative grasses and daisy flowers.

My yard floods yearly. I've turned basically all of it into a rain garden. It really helps.
Thanks for this video! My neighbor and I share the lowest part of the neighborhood and all the culverts divert into our yards. Trying to figure out how to manage the water in a rain garden setting throughout my land and this visual helps a lot! Thanks!
If you live in drylands look up Brad Lancaster. He does a great job at preventing erosion and keeping down your water bill.
The determining factor for all the choices you made was that your property has slope to begin with. Given this, you've done a beautiful job. Imagine if you had a completely flat property with zero slope. Then you might have had to use professional help, which is hard to find.
This is an excellent explanation and a beautiful project you've made. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
great video and process! from a single view perspective, it does seem though you'll be sending heavy water under your fence / to your shed (?)
Great idea to direct to thirsty cedars. Appreciate the west coast Canada focus 👍the challenge I find is with warming temperatures, we need plants that can handle soggy and semi drought hot conditions.
Well we have an ice garden now:)
Wonderful! Did you calculate the amount of runoff from your roof in a typical rain event? Perc rate of your soil? Looks like these contributed to the extensiveness of these swales, rain gardens, and spillways. Love the rocks to slow the flow of water. How about some berries in thar too? So cool beans!
This is an interesting thing. I wish I could do something simple like this to get the rain way from my yard.
I do the edges even with the ground (no burm) so water filters in evenly. I left the center to drain into a felt-lined (to prevent erosion) river rock depression with a big aquatic sedge rocked into it above depression and the dirt sucks up the water at the bottom. It's fun to watch them fill. Wonderful job-love it!!!👌😍
Why so much grass? I think it looks better if you take out the grass and put in native plants.
Agree. Hopefully little by little you’ll be converting to more native gardens which have significantly more value and interest.
It is an improvement, but several of the shrubs, especially the cedars, will grow much larger than the space allotted. I think a basin to hold more water and planted further back from the road would be more attractive and more effective.
You mean the cedars near the road? The lemon cedar I may transplant back to give it more room. Is Winter a good time to transplant? I should do an update as I have made more improvements since..
@@VictoriaAerial Fall is a good time to translate
Fall is a good time to transplant evergreens for roots to reestablish before the more stressful heat and less water of summer. I would love to see the update.

Transplant in early Spring while it is still naturally moist.
If you transplant in Fall you can get soil heaving because the roots have yet to establish before winter sets in. The tree is more likely to die.
The name for your little stream is 'rill.'
If you used fewer chemicals to maintain your lawn rain would infiltrate better.
Even apparently flat land is not really flat :)
Plz sir tell about hospital wastewater effulent and management??
Dirt berms along the trees has a high chance of killing the trees.
