Every time it rains on your roof, driveway, or patio, that stormwater picks up pollutants — oil, fertilizers, pet waste — and rushes untreated into nearby creeks, lakes, and the Puget Sound. A rain garden is a simple, beautiful way to slow, spread, and soak that water right on your property. It’s a shallow, planted depression filled with native PNW plants and engineered soil that naturally filters runoff, recharges groundwater, and creates habitat for pollinators and birds. And thanks to the RainWise rebate program, a large share of the cost can be reimbursed — up to 100% for income-qualified households. (Always verify current rates with your local RainWise program before purchasing.)
This kit gives you everything you need to install a professionally designed rain garden that meets RainWise standards — without having to source a dozen different components from separate suppliers. We’ve taken the guesswork out of the process: the soil blend, the underdrain system, the edging, the native plants, and the step-by-step guidance are all in one package. Heavy, bulky items (soil, mulch, gravel, stone, and compost) are not shipped — instead, you receive a tailored list of local bulk suppliers so you can pick them up or have them delivered locally. Everything else arrives at your door in one or two parcel boxes.
Who is this for?
Homeowners in the Puget Sound region (especially Seattle, King County, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap) looking to install a rain garden that qualifies for a RainWise rebate.
Gardeners and DIYers who want a turnkey, researched kit with curated native plants and professional-grade components.
Community groups and nonprofits working on neighborhood-scale green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) projects.
What makes our kit different?
PNW native plant palette — wholesale plugs from local ecotype seed (Swofford Valley wetlands and similar sources), providing vigorous, site-adapted plants at a fraction of retail.
Engineered soil mix — specifically formulated for rain garden infiltration and PNW clay soils.
RainWise-ready — the kit is designed to meet RainWise program sizing and material requirements, so your rebate application is straightforward.
Ready to start? Select your contributing roof area (the square footage of impervious surface your rain garden will drain) from the dropdown options, and we’ll size the kit components accordingly. Add the optional Designer Plant Pack for a more diverse, showy native garden, or bundle with our Cistern Kit and Solar Pump Kit for a complete RainWise system.
Solar-powered pumps provide an off-grid, eco-friendly way to move water from rain barrels, cisterns, or sumps into a rain garden, drip-irrigation grid, or decorative feature.
Professional maintenance for a rain garden ensures proper stormwater drainage, plant health, and compliance with local municipal and regional standards (such as Washington's low-impact development guidelines). Contact Justin @ jhowell3600@gmail.com for quotes in King County.
