Ensuring a stream will safely flow in a restored landscape takes technical proficiency and knowledge compiled from years of hydraulic study; getting a restored stream to replicate the beauty of a natural waterway in visual character and behavior takes artistry. At BlueGreen we have the experience, the expertise, and the craft to achieve both.
Bioswale at Encanto Nature Walk, Duarte.
When an erosion problem along the Whittier Greenway Trail emerged, the City of Whittier contacted BlueGreen to identify a solution. BlueGreen responded by designing a naturalized bioswale that addresses the drainage issue while also intercepting, detaining, and filtering local runoff.

Stormwater bioswale at the Los Angeles River and Aliso Creek Confluence Park, Reseda.
This Discovery Center’s integrated design features a partially lined wetland that is fed by a combination of storm water runoff from a green parking lot, hardscape and buildings, and the addition of reclaimed water. Water is conveyed to the wetland through naturalized bioswales.
Caballero Creek Park, located in Tarzana, will harvest nuisance water from the Caballero Creek Channel and Lindley Avenue, and purify it through a cyclical system that includes a bioswale, wetland and ultraviolet filtration. The water will then be used to irrigate the park. Caballero Creek Park is scheduled to be built in spring 2019.
