Sustainable Landscapes

  • Rain Barrels
    Capture rainwater from your roof to reduce runoff and save the water for when it's dry.
  • Rain Gardens
    These gardens contain native plants and are designed to temporarily hold rainwater runoff to allow it to soak into the ground.
  • Pervious Parking Surfaces
    Parking lots and driveways paved with pervious surfaces reduce runoff by allowing water to percolate into the underlying soil.
  • Post Construction Best Management Practices (BMPs)
    Structural BMPs are permanent stormwater treatment features incorporated into the design of newly developed or redeveloped properties.
  • Neighborhood Greenspace
    This handbook is designed to aid homeowners associations in the care and maintenance of their greenspace.
  • Green Roofs
    Green roofs provide many benefits including: energy savings, runoff reduction and habitat for wildlife in urban areas.
  • Rainscaping Lincoln - 2022 Sustainable Landscapes Cost Share Program
    The program reimburses Lincoln property owners for 50 percent of qualifying expenses related to approved rainscaping projects, up to $2000. The goal of this program is to improve water quality, reduce runoff, and facilitate infiltration.
