Vegetated stormwater management systems that capture, treat, and infiltrate runoff while creating beautiful, functional landscapes with native Florida plants.
Bioswales are vegetated channels designed to manage stormwater runoff while providing water quality treatment. They use engineered soils, native plants, and natural processes to filter pollutants, reduce runoff volume, and enhance groundwater recharge.
Key Functions:
Rain gardens are shallow depressions planted with native vegetation that collect and absorb stormwater from roofs, driveways, and other impervious surfaces. They're designed to infiltrate water within 24-48 hours.
Key Functions:
Excavate to design depth, test infiltration rates, adjust soil conditions
Install engineered soil mix with proper drainage and plant support
Plant native species according to design plan and water zones
Provide irrigation and maintenance during plant establishment period
Florida receives intense summer thunderstorms that can drop several inches of rain in short periods.
Many areas of Florida have seasonally high water tables that affect bioswale design.
Florida's climate allows year-round planting but requires specific establishment care.
Florida bioswales must meet specific regulatory requirements for stormwater treatment.
