| New Landscape Display Project at Sonco |
 |
Crimson Valley Landscaping is partnering with Sonco Pools & Spas and Estate Deck & Fence to build a beautiful outdoor living space; the display garden and landscape will feature a Sonco pool, a deck and pergola by Estate Deck & Fence. Crimson Valley is building an outdoor fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, and a brick paver patio with outdoor lighting! This work in progress will be a great place to see many of our products and services displayed at one location. Look for our grand opening date... coming soon!

| Rain Gardening |
|
 Do areas of your landscape collect water? With spring season rainfall, you may notice the low spots in your landscape where water flows naturally. Turn those undesirable low spaces into functional and beautiful rain gardens. Rain gardens are a great way to beautify an unsightly area and reduce the amount of stormwater runoff. Designed with native plants, these gardens break up soil, filter water from impervious surfaces (roofs, driveways, etc.), and replenish our depleting ground water supply. If a low spot does not occur naturally, create one and place in between areas where run off occurs; eliminating much of the water in its path from reaching the storm water collection systems. Rain gardens are a great way to utilize and optimize rainfall.
Contact Crimson Valley to discuss how an eco-friendly rain garden can help with the potential drainage issues in your landscape. See our promotions!
