RainXchange

We had our backyard dug up to install a 2,500 gallon RainXchange cistern to store collected rainwater in. When one of our landscape designers came by today to check on the progress of our large project, we are also having our driveway, patios and entryway redone in paving stones, she said how when she saw the hole in our backyard she began to think about converting her own swimming pool into a large rainwater cistern. I was so excited to hear that what we were doing in our own yard got someone else excited about doing something similar in their own yard, especially one of the landscapers who is responsible for helping us achieve our own vision for our project.

Our RainXchange and paving stone project is nearing completion and we are very excited about it. It is so beautiful and relaxing to have a waterfall and pond in our backyard. The sound of the waterfall really does help filter out the sound from the highway a few blocks from our house. It is also very relaxing and the sound of the waterfall just lulls us to sleep now. It is so much better than we even expected going into this and it's not even done. It just keeps getting better and better looking. We will have a truly amazing yard when all of the work is finally done.
