Pervious Pavers

Pervious pavers allow stormwater to soak into the ground and reduce runoff

Vegetated Swales

Gently sloping, vegetated depressions that collect and treat stormwater runoff

Flow-Through Planters

Flow-through planters manage stormwater in areas not suitable for infiltration

Downspout Disconnection

Redirecting roof runoff from the sewer system

Cisterns

Storing stormwater runoff for reuse

Rain Barrels

Using rain barrels to collect roof runoff for re-use

Infiltration Planters

Infiltration planters work well in space limited sites with good drainage

Turf Block

Turf block allows rain to infiltrate parking areas, driveways and walkways
