Efficient water management is pivotal in Iowa landscaping due to seasonal rainfall variability and increasing drought conditions. Lark Landscape incorporates innovative water-saving technologies and design strategies that optimize irrigation and stormwater handling. Rain gardens are a central feature—beautifully planted depressions that capture and filter runoff from roofs and paved surfaces, preventing soil erosion and water pollution.

We design subsurface drip irrigation systems that target plant roots directly, reducing evaporation and runoff associated with traditional sprinklers. Smart irrigation controllers adjust watering schedules based on weather data, soil moisture sensors, and landscape needs, conserving water without compromising plant health. Permeable paving materials allow rainwater infiltration, recharging groundwater and lessening stormwater burden on municipal systems. Grading and swale design further direct stormwater to retention zones or landscaped basins for gradual absorption. Together, these strategies not only conserve water but also protect soil integrity and prevent costly landscape damage. Learn comprehensive water management approaches on our Iowa landscaping page.
