Trying to stop or redirect water by building structures is not a lasting solution and will typically just move the water to another location with added force; think Grand Canyon. Where the ground is loose or unstable due to soil type, shade, tree roots, etc.; knowing exactly what you are dealing with and what will work for your particular situation is where Stormwater Professional’s proven solutions can keep your site stable, save your trees and shrubs and protect your watershed.

Plantings
Prior to the design and installation, this turf-slope carried fertilizer and sediment into the river. Native and non-invasive plantings were used to reduce runoff, absorb water, provide food for pollinators, and enhance the nature of the site.

Gabions
Vacant park in Baltimore's Inner-City District prior to stormwater mitigation.
A curb-cut allows water to infiltrate into the proposed garden.
Completed park mitigates stormwater while providing educational and useable spaces for the surrounding residences.
Pervious Concrete and Rain Gardens
BEFORE: Concrete-paver driveway allowed water to flood garage and basement.

Amendments included removal of the paver-driveway and installation of a trench drain for possible overflow.
Trench Drains and Concrete Swales
Excavation and base-construction.
Pre-fab and custom trench drains serve to pick up and divert water. There are some attractive great options available for finished patio areas.

Window Wells and Covers
Open-lattice screening kept animals out but allowed water into the basement and crawlspace.

A concrete wall/edge was constructed to allow the grade to be raised in the area and divert water away.

Drystreams
Drystreams serve to reduce erosion, infiltrate and direct water. Material selection is site-specific, to compliment the landscape.

Prior to mitigation, this lower-level flooded during storms.
Bioswales
Drystreams and bioswales work to slow down water, spread out it out, and infiltrate it into the soils below, reducing erosion and sediment runoff.

A catch basin, set within an intense stormwater path, assist in the mitigation of the flow.
Lining the swale with filter cloth, allows water to infiltrate, while limiting vegetative growth.
Catch Basins
Water from neighboring side and rear properties continuously carried water and mud into the lower level of this house. A gravel swale served to pick up and direct sheet water into a large catch basin.
