Water infiltration
A Natural Solution for Your Garden
The Power of Permeable Design
​
At Hortus Quo, we convinced that a beautiful garden can also be an environmentally responsible one. That's why we prioritize water infiltration in our designs. This natural process allows rainwater to soak into the ground, replenishing groundwater and benefiting your garden in several ways:
-
Reduced Drought Stress: Healthy water levels in the soil keep your plants thriving, even during dry spells.
-
Improved Drainage: Infiltration prevents puddles and standing water, creating a healthier environment for plants and preventing foundation problems for your home.
-
Enhanced Biodiversity: A balanced water cycle attracts beneficial insects and promotes healthy soil life.
Incorporating Infiltration in Your Design
​
We integrate water infiltration seamlessly into your garden with strategies like:
-
Permeable Materials: We use gravel, pavers, and walkways that allow water to pass through.
-
Rain Gardens: These strategically planted areas absorb rainwater and slowly release it back into the ground.
-
Swales: Gentle dips in the landscape channel runoff towards infiltration zones
