Regular stewardship keeps biodetention basins effective, filtering pollutants, reducing flooding, and supporting healthy ecosystems.
Stormwater STL provides four annual visits to ensure long-term performance and cost savings.
Stewardship Services
Routine Stewardship Services
Growing-season visits manage invasive weeds, vines, and saplings ultimately protecting the native plants which are vital to system health, functionality and compliance. A winter cut down removes dead plant material, leaves, and debris to preserve the permeability of the engineered soil and spurs new growth of the native plants.
Basin Replanting
When basins are not properly maintained, they may require supplemental or full replanting to restore healthy vegetation, maintain proper stormwater function, and remain compliant with MSD regulation.
Native Prairie Management
Cutting down native prairie vegetation in winter mimics natural grazing patterns and plays a vital role in maintaining the prairie’s long-term health and biodiversity.
