Nature-Based Stormwater Solutions

Capture, filter, and reuse stormwater while creating the conditions healthy urban trees need to thrive.

The Challenge

Stormwater is often treated as waste instead of a valuable resource while urban trees often lack the water and soil conditions needed for healthy growth.

Bioretention tree pits work with natural processes to capture, filter, and reuse stormwater where it falls, supporting healthy urban trees while improving water quality and reducing runoff.

Reduce pressure on drainage systems

Provide the soil volume and moisture trees need

Balance trees with paving and pedestrian movement

Capture and retain stormwater for dry periods

Design Considerations

Long-term performance depends on thoughtful planning. These key design considerations help create effective bioretention systems.

Integrated Solutions

Successful bioretention systems require more than selecting the right products. Long-term performance depends on balancing stormwater management with the growing conditions healthy urban trees need. Careful planning early in the design process helps maximize both hydraulic performance and tree health.

Soil Cell Systems

Provide the uncompacted soil needed for healthy root development
