Grassed Swale Projects

Grassed swales are simply grass-lined ditches that convey stormwater away from your yard or property while infiltrating as much stormwater as the underlying soil will allow. Grassed swales can replace failing concrete-lined ditches but more often are installed to address severe gully erosion on residential properties.
