is a cost effective way to make sure you get the most from
your investment. As a guide average UK sized garden will
cost approx. £25k to build. When starting the journey this is
a good budget to have when considering a full garden build.
Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable water management
practice that offers numerous benefits for both individuals
and the environment. It involves collecting and storing
rainwater from rooftops, surfaces, or landscapes, and reusing
it for various purposes.
Let's explore the benefits of rainwater harvesting and how
The Garden Project Team’s approach enhances its
advantages.
The Garden Project Team’s approach to rainwater
harvesting enhances the benefits by combining functional
rainwater storage and usage with the creation of visually
appealing landscapes. we call it
Sustainable, Interactive Water Management.
By integrating features such as water butts,
cisterns, green roofs, bioswales, and permeable
pavements into the design, we can maximize water
capture and utilization while enhancing the overall
beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces.
The beauty of our modular system is that it is
scalable. whether you have run out of space in
your garden and need to move your existing water
butts underground or a commercial client looking
to work towards your Fitwell and/ or breeam
certification we can help.

Top reasons to consider our system
Water Conservation
Rainwater harvesting helps conserve water by
reducing the demand for freshwater from
traditional sources such as rivers, lakes, and
underground aquifers. Instead, rainwater is
captured and used for non-potable purposes like
irrigation, toilet flushing, and washing vehicles. By
utilizing rainwater, we can reduce strain on water
supplies and contribute to water conservation
efforts.
Sustainable Landscape Design
Our approach to rainwater harvesting emphasizes
the integration of water features within the
landscape design. It involves creating aesthetically
pleasing ponds, waterfalls, fountains, or rain
gardens that serve both functional and
ornamental purposes. These features enhance the
overall beauty of the environment while providing
habitats for wildlife and attracting beneficial
insects.
Mitigating Flooding and Erosion
Rainwater harvesting helps prevent storm water
run-off, which is a major contributor to urban
flooding and erosion. By capturing rainwater and
storing it in retention ponds or underground
tanks, the excessive run-off is significantly
reduced. This prevents the accumulation of water
on streets and paths, minimizes erosion of soil,
and protects nearby water bodies from pollution
caused by run-off.
Improved Water Quality
Rainwater is naturally pure and free from many
contaminants found in other water sources. By
harvesting rainwater, you can access cleaner
water for non-potable uses like irrigation, which
can benefit plant health and growth. Additionally,
filtering techniques can be employed to further
enhance the water quality for specific
applications.
