LET US SOLVE YOUR WATER ISSUES. Water can be a significant asset or a major headache. We experience the effects of poor storm water management most acutely in our own neighborhoods--the water in our basement, the soggy spot in the yard, the gutter that overflows in a summer storm--these are all results of water out of place.
At Confluence Habitats, we address the source of the problem and provide you a high quality, effective solution. We do not sell one patented system, but provide a custom solution based on an in-depth assessment of your site. We focus on using high quality materials and building it right the first time.

We frequently work with clients to utilize the MSD Rainscaping Grant Program. The program covers St. Louis city and county and offers grants for property owners seeking to convert part of their land into a rain garden or lawn alternative. You may be able to use the grant to offset the cost of your water management project. We offer consultation, design, application assistance and installation for the grant program.
