Using Alternative Fertilizers: MulchThe use of natural materials such as straw, leaves, twigs, small branches, and paper products as mulches helps to retain moisture and, consequently, to preserve water. Mulch prevents hot, dry sunlight, and wind from penetrating the soil, keeping it moist and cool. |

Swales and Berms Swales are basically described as “basins” in landscaping designed to prevent water from running down the hill in contrast with berms which is a rounded mold of soil and acts as a barrier so that the water will stay in its place. |
Stones or TerracesThe use of stone in planting can help retain water and create micro-climates. By pilling up rocks, it is capable of generating a cooling effect that creates humid and causes condensation, acting as a natural drip irrigation system. It enables trees and plants to thrive in climates where they are not naturally present. Terraces created using these stones can help reduce soil erosion and prevents water from running down the hill in slope areas. We can also create awesome and unique designs when building your terraces.

This is a method of water retention in which large barrels or reservoirs are used to collect rainwater as it falls and drains off roofs. This water can then be used to water one’s garden or filtered and used for indoor use. |
