Low-impact development (LID) practices and green infrastructure are crucial parts of sustainable landscape design. These green design processes promote landscape features that capture and treat storm water flow with systems that mimic the nature.
Bio-retention media provides options for managing storm water onsite by capturing and infiltrating storm water flows. It supports a wide variety of plant species and provides a home to beneficial microbes and other essential soil organisms that aid in the natural treatment of the captured storm water. Additionally, the bio-retention media can be remove pollutants and other contaminants leaving the storm water treated and available for re-use.
Bio-Retention Media
The bio-retention media consists of varying amounts of sand, fine graded lightweight aggregate, sandy loam topsoil and composted organics. Blending ratios and percentages are determined by the required infiltration rates and other onsite project specific requirements.
