Dry Creek Beds

Decatur Landscaping Company servicing Decatur and surrounding areas.

Dry creek beds are not only beautiful, but they are also functional. Landscaping in Decatur and surrounding areas is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but it also needs to have drainage solutions built in because of the amount of rain we get each year. A dry creek bed is a great element to add into your landscape design. Sometimes also described as a dry stream bed, or a gully, a dry creek bed is typically lined with stones and plants to mimic a natural riverside. In other states many homeowners will implement dry creek beds for their appearance, but in our area, they serve as a drainage solution. Essentially having a dry creek bed implemented in your design you will be preventing erosion by reducing runoff. As a bonus, Venyscapes 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 is essentially a trench dug into a low point of your yard or at the bottom of a slope to direct water 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, but also 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 larger boulders, medium sized stones and rock.
Place plants, or bushes to line the creek bed (optional)
