    Trees are great for that too, and it has added benefits like another patch that is no longer impermeable, helps manage storm water, filter rainwater into the aquifer, lowers flood risks, provide shade against heat. It is also an habitat for plants, insects, birds, and small animals, while also improving air quality by absorbing pollutants and providing a natural sound barriers, reducing noise pollution and stress levels related to it.
