We are proud to have been recently featured in the Durango Herald, in an article about our Passive Rainwater Harvesting Landscapes! In March, Eva and Colleen traveled to Tucson, Arizona for an intensive 7-day course about passive rainwater harvesting and how to maximize the ability to collect rainwater in a landscape. They are now both Certified Water Harvesting Practitioners.
Columbine is proud to now be able to provide the design and installation of passive rainwater harvesting landscapes and earthworks. Earthworks being how it sounds – making the earth work for you in your landscape, using berms, basins, swales and other rainwater collection techniques to maximize the amount of water that stays in your landscapes as opposed to running off.
