A Drainage Approach for Lincoln Road: Distributed Management

A combination of fresh and redeveloped hardscape elements, including an updated driveway and a permeable bluestone patio, pitch away from the house and towards thoughtfully-placed garden beds that are generous enough to absorb surface water, as well as rooftop runoff from both the house and garage.

A lush, layered mix of broadleaf evergreens, flowering shrubs, and perennials populate the beds, framing spaces for lounging and dining and doing the important, thirsty work of helping keep the basement dry.
