Detailed description: Urban stormwater garden

A rain garden you said?

It is a sustainable landscaping solution designed to capture, retain, and manage rainwater in urban areas, reducing flooding and relieving pressure on sewer systems. Rainwater is naturally filtered through plants and substrate, removing pollutants while slowing runoff to prevent soil erosion. Beyond water management, rain gardens enhance urban biodiversity, attract pollinators, and add aesthetic value to city landscapes, providing a resilient solution to climate change.

The Plantco HydroPlanter™ is our “plug & play” solution to create a rain garden. Made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, they are available in four different types to suit various project needs. Whether your project is one meter or twelve meters long, our modular system allows for a fully customized rain garden.

Why using it?

– Flood reduction: temporarily retains rainwater from roofs, driveways, and roads, reducing the risk of urban flooding
– Water filtration: natural pollutants filtering (i.e. sediments and heavy metals) while improving water quality before it enters the drainage system
– Erosion control: slows runoff to prevent soil erosion, especially in urban areas with hard surfaces
– Biodiversity: attracts insects and pollinators while enhancing the visual appeal of city landscapes.
