Storm-Ready or Risk-Ready? The Real Cost of Ignoring Your Bioswale

The Insight

Bioswales aren’t just a green feature — they’re a regulatory requirement. Neglected bioswales lead to flooding, fines, and costly remediations.

Why It Matters

Stormwater management rules are tightening fast across California. In many counties, bioswale maintenance is required by code. Poor upkeep creates compliance risk, environmental damage, and early failure of costly infrastructure.

Your Play

Treat bioswales like storm drains — not flower beds. Our crews are trained in functional stormwater inspections, maintenance best practices, and photographic documentation to protect your budget and your BMP record.

Bioswales are one of the most misunderstood parts of your landscape. They’re built for stormwater control — not just curb appeal — and when neglected, they stop working. The result? Standing water, flooding, overgrowth, mosquito breeding, erosion, and city code violations.
