Green Community Makeover

Sugar Grove, Illinois

The Lakes of Bliss Woods neighborhood community in Sugar Grove, Illinois, made a commitment in 2009 to go green! Aquascape Construction installed Aquascape Rainwater Harvesting Systems at numerous homes in Sugar Grove to capture rainwater run-off from the rooftops. Each rainwater capture system was paired with a fountain feature or waterfall to beautify the homeowner's landscape. The stored water can be accessed to irrigate the surrounding landscape and garden beds. Additionally, permeable pavements and rain gardens were installed in the neighborhood. This residential project serves as a way to educate homeowners on the features and benefits of turning their yards into a stunning, sustainable landscape.
