We are proud to announce that the Des Moines Demo Home New Construction is now complete! Located at 1347 Forest Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa. To the right is a picture from street view. We are currently waiting for the homes' Silver LEED certification. 
The picture to the left is of the rain gardens specifically designed to capture most of the rain off of the roof. The water is funneled into these rain gardens and the plants have been specifically chosen for their native, water loving qualities.The house also has a rain barrel to capture water for other landscaping needs that aren't a part of the rain garden.
Rain water is also falls into this flower planter located next to the house. It is used in place of a gutter, and with the flowers chosen, provides a beautiful planter.
