Bioswale Installation

What This Service Involves

A bioswale is a landscaped channel engineered to collect, slow, convey, and filter stormwater runoff – a green infrastructure solution that manages water while looking like a planted landscape feature. We design and build bioswales with the correct grade, soil, and water-tolerant plantings to move runoff from paved areas and roofs, filtering pollutants and reducing the volume and speed reaching storm drains and streams. It is an attractive, effective tool for stormwater management on both residential and commercial sites.
