Swales
A Sustainable Solution for Water Management
Swales are a simple yet effective method for managing water flow in your landscape. Designed to capture, redirect, and infiltrate water, swales reduce erosion, improve soil health, and promote sustainable water usage. Whether for residential, commercial, or agricultural properties, swales are a practical way to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
What Is a Swale?
A swale is a shallow, gently sloped channel designed to manage water runoff. Often lined with vegetation, gravel, or other permeable materials, swales slow down and absorb water, directing it away from structures and towards areas where it can naturally infiltrate the soil.
Benefits of Swales
Water Management: Swales prevent flooding and water pooling by redirecting excess runoff to designated areas, such as rain gardens or retention basins.
Erosion Control: By slowing water flow, swales reduce the risk of soil erosion on sloped properties or areas with heavy rainfall.
Groundwater Recharge: Swales help replenish groundwater supplies by allowing water to soak into the soil rather than running off into storm drains.
Improved Soil Health: Swales support vegetation growth by keeping soil hydrated and reducing nutrient loss due to erosion.
Eco-Friendly Design: Swales contribute to sustainable landscaping by minimizing water waste and reducing reliance on artificial drainage systems.
