Stormwater: French Drains, Swales, and More Protect Your Property
What it is:
Not always the fun stuff to invest in, but important. Landscaping solutions that reduce runoff and improve drainage. We like to approach it from a sustainable angle and incorporate wetland features and riparian buffers when possible.
Why it matters:
Prevents flooding and erosion
Improves water quality
Enhances property sustainability
How we do it:
We use rain gardens, swales, permeable pavers, and native plant buffers to absorb and filter water naturally. We can also do more traditional french drains, gutter redirection, rain barrels, and more.
Derivatives, styles, and similar concepts. We point these out to help relate to terms that can be unclear, ambiguous, and overlapping in our field.
