The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines bioswales as “vegetated, mulched or xeriscaped channels that provide treatment and retention as they move stormwater from one place to another.”
Bioswales are an excellent solution to stormwater management and are in ever-increasing demand from Portland, OR to Vancouver, WA. In fact, some cities are requiring drainage solutions (like bioswales) for new development. Bioswales provide a highly sustainable solution that actually reduces the total runoff left to the city stormwater system. According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), a 4-meter bioswale can reduce runoff by bout 25%.

As a property owner, making major changes to your landscape can be a little intimidating. Inviting a group of strangers onto your property can feel like a leap of faith that leaves you in the dark until the project is complete.
