Dry creek beds are not only beautiful, but they are also functional.

A dry creek bed is a great element that has natural beauty AND a functional solution to add into your landscape design. Sometimes also described as a dry stream bed, or a gully, a dry creek bed has a natural look and is typically lined with stones like river rock and native plants on top of landscape fabric to mimic a natural riverside.

Having a dry creek bed implemented in your design will prevent erosion by reducing runoff. As a bonus, our Venyscapes team will design it to be extremely functional, but also beautiful.

How Will The Dry Creek Bed Be Installed in My Yard?

A dry creek bed drainage is essentially a trench dug into a low point of your yard or at the bottom of a slope, directing water flow away from that area. The water will run into a dry well or a rain garden. We will follow several steps to create the most beautiful and functional dry creek bed for your drainage needs.

First, lay out the intended creek path
Next, dig the trench
Then, add landscaping fabric to prevent weeds in the future.
Finally, place large boulders and multiple sizes of stones and larger rocks.
Place plants or bushes to line the creek bed (optional)

The best part about hiring an experience landscaping company like Venyscapes is you will get a customized plan for your dry creek beds so that it will fit seamlessly with the rest of your landscape. Generally water drainage can be a major problem in Georgia, but you don’t have to settle for a boring drainage solution. A realistic-looking dry creek bed might just be the best solution for your water to run free and away from your home. Creating a dry creek bed is a very technical project, but we are here to help.
