Does your backyard dream feel out of reach because of where you live? Don’t despair. Your HOA or development rules may not limit you as much as you think.
In fact, rainwater harvesting can help you expand the space you are allowed to cover.
This means more square footage for the backyard layout you have always wanted.
Here is how it works. Rainwater is collected from the roof and directed to an underground, rubber-lined reservoir. You can then use this water for many purposes.
For example, it can be used for washing your car, irrigating your garden, or filling a fountain or fish pond.
Rainwater harvesting has made larger patios and more extensive landscaping possible.
It opens the door to projects that many people once thought were impossible.
Rainwater harvesting is using water responsibly. One inch of rainfall on a 2,000-sq.-ft. roof will yield around 1,250 gallons of water. Now, say you receive 30 inches of rain in a year. That’s conserving 37,500 gallons of water.*
What are the “bigger picture” results of rainwater harvesting?
Aquascapes is a water features company that licenses contractors to install their rainwater harvesting systems. We’ve used their high-quality materials for years. With careful planning and communication, we’ll help you through each step of the rainwater harvesting setup, including the permitting process.
We start by assessing your property’s layout and water needs. You might want to reuse rainwater, reduce runoff, or make your landscape more sustainable. Then we plan how to collect, store, and move the water efficiently.
With a solid plan in place, we install the catchment system, underground basin, filtration, and pump setup. Every component is selected for durability, efficiency, and seamless integration with your yard.
Once installed, your system goes to work—quietly collecting rainwater for reuse. You’ll reduce water bills, minimize erosion, and gain a sustainable, self-sufficient feature that keeps your landscape thriving.
We don’t just dig a trench and call it sustainable. Whether you’re aiming to conserve water, control runoff, or support your garden, we design rainwater systems that are functional, low-maintenance, and beautifully integrated into your landscape.
From catchment basins to underground reservoirs and filtration zones, every element is carefully planned for efficient flow, storage, and use. You get a system that works hard behind the scenes and lasts for years.
You’ll work directly with our team to shape the system around your property’s layout and needs—whether that’s harvesting for irrigation, managing heavy rains, or adding a water-smart feature to your yard.
I wasn’t quite sure how to improve the area around our pool and met with a number of companies who all wanted to install an uninspired patio. After much searching, someone recommended Authentic Homescapes. Jason immediately had a vision of what needed to be done. He met with me numerous times to review the design and select the right materials. When the time came for installation, the crew was always on time, on schedule, and professional. We now have a beautiful pool patio and I could not be happier with the result. I plan to hire the company again for future projects – a great experience all around!

The quality, thoroughness and creativity of the work went far, far above our expectations. The water feature was amazing, the care that went into the project was much more than anyone else has done, in our experience.
We will be using AH next year for more work…highest recommendation.
