Curbside bioswales, bioretention, and grading that absorb runoff at the source — built in the public right-of-way most contractors can't touch. Bonded. For HOAs, commercial properties, and municipalities. The first site assessment is free.

Every paved acre sends its storm somewhere — usually downhill, fast, into a curb, a neighbor, or a flooded common area. The standard answer is more pipe. Pipe is expensive, it's at full capacity the day it's poured, and it qualifies for nothing.
Green stormwater infrastructure does the opposite. It slows the water down, spreads it out, and lets the ground drink it — bioswales, bioretention, permeable surfaces, native stabilization. It costs less over its life, it reads as landscape instead of utility, and it earns rebate and grant eligibility that gray systems can't.
The catch, for most contractors, is the street. The flood collects at the curb and in the right-of-way — and you have to be bonded to legally work there. We are. That's the whole game on a commercial or municipal site: we can take the water all the way, not just to your property line.
§ 1 · What we build
Green infrastructure, at every scale.
Curbside & street
Curbside bioswales
Planted right-of-way channels that catch street and parking runoff before it floods downstream.
On-site capture
Bioretention & rain gardens
Engineered planted basins that treat and infiltrate roof and lot runoff.
Volume
Detention & regrading
Landform that holds the peak storm and releases it slowly — without a concrete vault.
Surface
Permeable systems
Surfaces that let water through instead of shedding it — reducing the runoff at the source.
Stability
Native stabilization
Deep-rooted native plantings that hold slopes, banks, and channels without rip-rap.
Specialty
Caliche infiltration
Fractured-caliche bases that break the cap and let Hill Country sites actually absorb.
§ 2 · The bonded advantage
We work where the water actually is.
On a commercial or HOA site, the failure point is almost never the middle of the lawn. It's the curb cut, the parking apron, the street edge, the shared drainage easement — the public right-of-way. Solving the flood means working there, and that takes a bond.
Most landscape companies legally can't, so they sell you an on-property fix for an off-property problem. We're bonded for right-of-way work, which means we can design and build the whole flow path — from where the rain lands to where it leaves — as one system. That's the difference between managing your flooding and ending it.
Green infrastructure isn't just cheaper to maintain than pipe — it can offset its own cost. We design to qualify:
SAWS rebates
San Antonio Water System runs commercial and landscape water-conservation rebate programs. We build the documentation so eligible projects can capture them.
State & federal grants
Green stormwater can be eligible for programs through the Texas Water Development Board, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and NRCS — especially when the project stacks co-benefits. We can't promise an award, but we build the case to qualify, and we partner on grant readiness.
Co-benefit stacking
One bioswale does flood control, water-quality treatment, heat reduction, and pollinator habitat at once. That stack is exactly what funders score highest — and what makes a single line item count four ways.
Lifecycle cost
A planted system improves with age as soil and roots mature; a pipe degrades from day one. Over a 10–20 year horizon, green infrastructure typically costs less to own — and it looks like an asset, not a utility.
§ 5 · Proof
It already works.
On a residential street in Alamo Heights, stormwater used to pool against the curb and go stagnant. We built a 13-foot curbside bioswale that absorbs roughly 200 gallons an hour of street drainage and resolves about 2,172 square feet of chronic standing water — by absorption, not a bigger pipe. Same logic scales to a parking lot, a campus, or a city block.
Yes. We're bonded, which is what legally lets us work in the street, curb, and public right-of-way — where the flood water actually collects. Most landscape contractors stop at the property line, so curbside and street-edge stormwater is a lane very few can enter.
Can this qualify for SAWS rebates or grants?
Often, yes — and we design with that in mind. SAWS offers commercial and landscape conservation rebates, and green infrastructure can be eligible for TWDB, TPWD, and NRCS programs when it stacks co-benefits. We can't promise a specific award, but we build the documentation and performance case to qualify.
What's green infrastructure versus conventional gray drainage?
Gray — pipe, inlets, concrete — moves water away fast and is at full capacity day one. Green — bioswales, bioretention, permeable surfaces — slows water and lets the ground absorb it, improving over time. Lower lifecycle cost, looks like landscape, and earns eligibility gray can't.
Do you work with HOAs, commercial, and municipal clients?
Yes — HOA common-area flooding, commercial lot and roof runoff, municipal and utility MS4 stormwater, and low-impact development for builders. Same logic at every scale: read where water goes, then give it somewhere productive to land.
Do you provide stamped engineering plans?
For projects that require sealed plans, we partner with a licensed civil engineer or landscape architect to stamp the design while we lead the build. You get the green-infrastructure specialty and the bonded right-of-way capability in one team, with the seal handled.
