Low Impact Development (LID) Certification

LID Certification is a credential for professionals who are trained in Low Impact Development practices, which focus on managing stormwater and reducing runoff through sustainable design and construction techniques. LID practices include the use of permeable pavements, rain gardens, green roofs, and bioswales to mimic natural hydrology and minimize the environmental impact of development. Certified LID professionals are knowledgeable about how to integrate these practices into landscape design to improve water quality and reduce flooding risks. For clients, hiring a certified LID professional ensures that their landscape will be designed to effectively manage stormwater in an environmentally responsible way.
