Stormwater Planters
Stormwater planters also called rain gardens or bioswales are a type of green infrastructure that helps manage rainwater. In cast concrete or a metal tank.

Stormwater planters. Stormwater planters are contained vegetated areas that collect stormwater runoff. Stormwater planters are an appropriate tool to manage runoff from all types of impervious surfaces DES and CEDD 2007. Maria Cahill GreenGirl Land Development SolutionsStormwater Planters structures made of a durable material such as stone brick or concrete treatedwood is not suggested as it may leak chemicals into the stormwater designed to capture runoff andsettle and filter out.
Storing runoff within the planter allows sediments and pollutants to settle out. Stormwater planters can also be used as a means of providing building-integrated LID by capturing a portion of the rainwater from the rooftop. We custom-make all of our stormwater planters.
Stormwater Planters can be used to help fulfill a sites required landscaping area requirement and should be integrated into the overall site design. A 12-inch curb cut channels the street runoff into the first stormwater planter. This type of cell can be constructed above grade in any waterproof and structurally sound container eg.
A stormwater planter is a specialized planter installed in the sidewalk area that is designed to manage street and sidewalk runoff. Managing this water helps protects our urban streams and infrastructure and reduces the load on them. Godwin Marissa Sowles and Desiree Tullos Oregon Sea Grant Extension.
Stormwater planters born in Portland Oregon are being replicated nationwide for green stormwater management. Stormwater planters can be used at the base of a downpipe or rain chain as an aesthetic solution to managing the flow of rainwater. Stormwater planters use plants and soils ability to slow filter and intercept stormwater called biorentention to manage runoff sustainably.
The landscape system within each planter allows the water to infiltrate into the ground soil at a rate of four inches per hour. A stormwater planter is an easy and attractive way to manage and filter some of the rainwater coming off a roof or other impervious surface. Numerous design variations of shape and planting scheme can be used to fit the character of a site.
Therefore the 12-inch layer of washed drain rock in the infiltration planter is needed only if the facility cant be sized to accom-modate the required runoff volumes. The downspout planters are filled with a base layer of gravel to allow for drainage a stormwater-friendly soil mix and native perennial vegetation that comes back every spring. Downspout planters are decorative landscaped planters specially designed to absorb and filter stormwater before it enters the sewer system.
They can be flush with the ground or built up like a raised bed depending on the design of your space. Stormwater planters are structural landscaped reservoirs used to collect filter andor infiltrate stormwater runoff allowing pollutants to settle and filter out as the water percolates through the planter soil before infiltrating into the ground below or being piped to its downstream destination. A stormwater planter benefits our rivers and streams by reducing peak flows into our overburdened storm and sewer system improving water quality providing wildlife habitat and benefiting your property by greening an impermeable area while enhancing landscape aesthetics.
Inside the planter the water collects until it reaches a depth of six inches. Precise pollutant removal rates for stormwater planters will vary depending on the type of planter infiltrationor flow-through and the types of vegetation growing in the planter. Infiltration planters effectively reduce stormwater.
They help to reduce flash flooding by slowing the flow and can form part of a sustainable drainage system SuDS. They are commonly seen in cities along streets and sidewalks and can vary in size shape and plant content.

Popular materials include galvanized metal and lumber. Plantings also clean water through a process known as bioreten-tion. Stormwater planters typically contain native hydrophilic flowers grasses shrubs and trees.
Using bioretention practices these planters collect and filter water through various layers of vegetation and soils. They function similarly to rain gardens but are smaller use layers of soil and stone and have constructed walls. From June 18 2008 The Philadelphia Water Department Office of Watersheds has embarked on an ambitious program to install stormwater planters that are designed to capture and infiltrate street run-off.
Stormwater Planters qualify as infiltration and filtration facilities. Typically when it rains in Indianapolis water is. It is normally rectangular with four concrete sides providing structure and curbs for the planter.
Stormwater Planters 3 automatically detains stormwater because it takes an entirely different routethrough the soil instead of through a pipeto arrive at our waterways. Stormwater planters are effective at removing some of the. Here is a portion of a previous blog post explaining a bit about stormwater planters and how we were inspired to install one at Montrose Green.
