Bioretention

Sustainable landscapes start with bioretention - utilising plants, soil, and microbes to manage water flow and quality. This core concept of low-impact design brings nature’s cycles into our built environments.

By integrating bioretention gardens, swales, rain gardens, and other features throughout the landscape, stormwater can be captured, filtered, and slowly released. Compared to concrete-heavy designs, bioretention allows 30% more water absorption, reducing runoff.

Beyond water management, bioretention offers multifaceted benefits:

• Increased wildlife habitat and biodiversity

• Natural pollutant capture & filtration

• Energy savings from shade and cooling

• Stronger sense of place with native plants

• Visual appeal and environmental awareness

• Lower maintenance requirements

Ultimately, embracing bioretention means creating landscapes focused on water resiliency and environmental harmony. With climate uncertainty ahead, bioretention gardens provide sustainable beauty and function for homes and communities.
