Green landscaping reduces water runoff, can preserve native species,
increase cooling greenery, and provide all the benefits of beauty!
Swales Are Just One of the Solutions!
Swales are densely vegetated drainageways with low-pitched slopes that collect and slowly convey runoff. They promote infiltration and reduce stormwater runoff volumes. Grass swales can replace curbs, gutters and storm sewer systems.
Grass swales typically cost less to construct than curbs, gutter or
storm sewer systems.
