Climate Change Ecoscape Drainage
Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) offers a nature-based, landscape solution to managing stormwater runoff drainage and water quality issues that urban stormwater runoff causes and provides greater benefits than conventional (or “Gray”) stormwater solutions.
In ways that mimic the natural environment as much as possible, BGI uses plants, soil, and stone to filter and manage stormwater more effectively, reducing how much enters our sewer systems, and protecting our rivers and streams.
Blue-Green Infrastructure uses landscaping to conceal the pragmatic drainage needs of commercial or municipal areas. It is vital for building city and landscape resilience in the face of climate threats.
Essentially speaking, Blue-Green Infrastructure, or Green Infrastructure, refers to a drainage network that provides for solving urban and property challenges by building with nature and promotes integrating permeable surfaces.
Nature-Based Infrastructure
Blue-Green infrastructure is essentially creating healthier environments one property at a time through nature-based infrastructure that delivers a sustainable return on investment. Nature-based infrastructure asks more of your landscape.
Blue-Green infrastructure isn’t new, but the phrase is not one that often enters a conversation about commercial landscape maintenance. Most importantly, for commercial properties, it can contribute to a greener community.
