A bioswale is a permanent, shallow landscape depression or channel used to direct stormwater to infiltration areas or engineered containment systems. Bioswales use Low Impact Development (LID) management practices – vegetated swales combine the benefits of organic matter and gravity to physically filter storm water pollutants before they reach streams and natural water resources.
Our bioswale mix is a blend of loam, sand, and compost specifically engineered to meet the required infiltration rates and porosity needed for stormwater filtration and enhanced water quality for supporting plant life in bioretention areas.
