Stormwater Management Solutions

Reduce flooding, protect infrastructure, and meet compliance goals. We design and install vegetation-based and engineered measures that slow, filter, and move runoff safely on sites of any size.

Less Runoff
Cleaner Water
Reliable Compliance

Stop Paying For Floods, Failures, and Fines

When stormwater is not managed, water finds the weakest path. That means ponding in lots, eroded slopes, sediment in drains, and damage to landscaping. Missed inspections can stall projects and invite violations. Every season you delay, repair costs rise and public access or operations suffer. You need a plan that handles peak flows, protects soil, and is practical to maintain with the staff and budget you have.

Why More Sites Choose Vegetation-First Stormwater Systems

Cost smart

Plants and soils do a lot of the work with low energy needs and simple upkeep.

Durable

Stabilized banks, protected inlets, and vegetated swales stand up to heavy rains.

Scalable

Works for single facilities, campuses, subdivisions, and municipal corridors.

What exactly is stormwater management?

Stormwater management is a set of practices that slow runoff, filter pollutants, and route water to safe discharge or storage. Typical tools include vegetated swales, rain gardens, stabilized shorelines, erosion control on slopes, and detention or retention features. The mix is selected to match site conditions and regulatory goals.

We understand deadlines, MS4 obligations, and tight access

From private developments to public works, you balance performance, documentation, and appearance. Our team coordinates with owners, contractors, and civil engineers, then installs with specialty equipment that reaches difficult areas without tearing up finished surfaces.

You get a site that drains, looks intentional, and passes review.

DIY stormwater fixes vs partnering with Superior

Runoff control fails when grade, media depth, or anchoring is off by even a small margin. That invites washouts, clogged inlets, and compliance issues. Our crews follow specifications, place materials with calibrated equipment, and finish cleanly so the system performs in the first storm and the hundredth.

"Superior delivers solutions beyond basic drainage"

Rain gardens and vegetated swales to slow and filter flow
Detention and retention pond edge stabilization to reduce erosion
Inlet protection, forebay stabilization, and sediment control during construction
Slope protection with hydroseed control blends, compost and seed, and turf reinforcement where specified
Living shorelines for lakes, ponds, and streams that tie stormwater into natural systems

What are the steps to implement stormwater management?

1. Assess the site
We review drainage patterns, soils, slopes, existing infrastructure, and downstream constraints. Photos, plans, and a walk-through help us pinpoint problem areas and opportunities.
2. Select the solution set
Based on flows and goals, we recommend a combination such as vegetated swales, stabilized banks, forebay upgrades, outlet protection, or erosion control on disturbed soils. If you already have an engineer’s plan, we build to spec.
3. Prepare the area
Grade for positive flow, remove debris, install geotextiles or anchoring where needed, and protect adjacent pavement and turf so the work zone stays tidy.
4. Install and stabilize
Place soils and aggregates, construct swales or rain gardens, install SOX or similar shoreline systems where appropriate, apply hydroseed or compost and seed, and secure inlets and outlets.
5. Establish and maintain
Provide watering and establishment guidance, set inspection intervals, and plan seasonal touch ups so performance remains consistent. Simple maintenance keeps vegetation dense and inlets clear.

A simple 3 step path to better stormwater performance

Request an Estimate

Share plans, photos, and goals. We review flow paths, trouble spots, and access to price accurately.

Get a site specific plan

We confirm methods, materials, sequencing, and schedule. If you have engineered drawings, we align on details and inspection needs. You receive clear pricing and timing.

Install and verify

We build the system, stabilize disturbed areas, and provide basic maintenance guidance. You get a clean site, photo documentation, and a system designed to pass review.

More About Stormwater Management Solutions

Stormwater Management - FAQs

We implement plans from civil engineers and can propose practical installation options. If you need stamped drawings, we will coordinate with your design team.

Detention holds water temporarily and releases it at a controlled rate. Retention holds water on site for longer periods or permanently.

Yes. We install temporary controls like inlet protection and perimeter stabilization, then transition to permanent systems.

Scope, access, materials, and documentation needs drive cost. Share plans or photos for an accurate quote.
