KilmerSt Deck & Raingarden
Both Fiberon composite decking material and stained pressure treated lumber (railing) were used to construct the deck. The raingarden is visible in the background. This specially designed garden captures the rainwater from the roof of the home through four downspouts that tie in underground. The native plants then filter the water before it is absorbed into the soil. The homeowners will receive notable funding from the County Department of the Environment through the Chesapeake Bay Fund and the Stormwater runoff fees paid by property owners.
