Bioswale construction involves creating a landscaped, gently sloped drainage channel that is designed to slow down and filter stormwater runoff. Bioswales are typically planted with grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation that can tolerate wet conditions and help absorb pollutants. The process includes excavating the swale, grading it to direct water flow, adding layers of soil and compost, and planting vegetation that will aid in filtration and absorption. Bioswales are commonly used in sustainable landscaping to manage runoff from impervious surfaces like roads, parking lots, and rooftops, reducing the load on traditional drainage systems and improving water quality. Properly constructed bioswales are effective at controlling erosion, reducing flooding, and creating attractive green spaces in urban and suburban environments.
