Why Green Infrastructure?
In cities like Atlanta, impervious surfaces like rooftops and pavement prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground. Stormwater runoff carries pollutants such as oil, litter, and excess nutrients into local waterways, overwhelming traditional "gray" stormwater systems.
Green infrastructure offers an innovative solution by mimicking nature to manage rainwater where it falls. With systems like rain gardens and dry creeks, we reduce runoff volume and velocity while beautifying landscapes and creating habitats for pollinators and wildlife.
Our Services
We offer a range of green infrastructure solutions to manage stormwater, enhance your property, and promote sustainability:
Rain Gardens
Rain gardens are landscaped areas designed to capture and absorb stormwater runoff. With a blend of amended soils, native plants, and strategic grading, they:
- Filter pollutants from stormwater.
- Reduce runoff into storm drains.
- Add visual appeal with colorful, drought-tolerant native plants.
- Support pollinators and biodiversity.
Dry Creeks
Dry creeks are functional and aesthetic features that channel water during heavy rains and blend seamlessly into your landscape when dry. Benefits include:
- Preventing erosion and pooling in low-lying areas.
- Providing a natural solution for stormwater drainage.
- Enhancing your yard’s beauty with stones, plants, and natural contours.
Bioswales
Shallow, vegetated channels designed to slow, capture, and filter stormwater runoff while adding greenery to your property.
Permeable Trails & Patios
Eco-friendly surfaces allow rainwater to soak into the ground, reducing runoff and minimizing flooding.
Rainwater Harvesting
Rain barrels and cisterns collect stormwater for reuse, conserving water and reducing runoff.
Urban Meadows & Native Plant Communities
Strategically designed native plant installations promote an incredible amount of infiltration. Traditional lawns tend to promote pesticides, fertilizers, erosion, and displacing stormwater rather than infiltration.
Why Choose Us?
Our work always priortizes stormwater solutions that are functional AND eye-catching for all the right reasons. By integrating green infrastructure principles, we help homeowners, businesses, organizations, schools, agencies, and communities:
