GALLERY
Turf is an excellent conductor of surface water but not always the most sustainable or available option. Ideally, surface water should be allowed to soak into the earth and recharge the groundwater. How do you keep water away from your structures and prevent it from eroding your site while keeping it on your site. Let the storm water experts and watershed stewards at Stormwater Professionals specify and design your complete storm water action plan. We plan for the gentle soaking rains and the torrential downpours through the use of everything from custom state –of- the- art surface drains to rain gardens.
SURFACE WATER
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.
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.
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.
