Rain Gardens
Turning runoff into resilience biodiversity beauty
with Rain Gardens
Capture and control runoff at source with bespoke rain garden solutions. Combining hydrology and ecology expertise with engineering, our systems help reduce pressure on networks, improve water quality and create sustainable, multifunctional landscapes.
Enhancing runoff management
Urban areas are often dominated by hard, impermeable surfaces that prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground. The result? More surface runoff, more flooding, and more strain on our drainage networks.
Rain gardens offer a simple, sustainable way to manage surface water – capturing rainfall before it enters the piped network and releasing it slowly or allowing it to infiltrate naturally. The result is a landscape that not only manages water effectively, but also supports biodiversity, reduces pollution and enhances local amenity.
Designed for your site and your goals
Whether it’s for a public space improvement, a school playground, a new development or a community greenspace, our team brings together drainage and ecology expertise with practical design to deliver a solution that responds to the specific needs of your site or project.
From early consultation to installation, we help you make the most of your space, ensuring every project contributes to a more climate-resilient, biodiverse environment.
Benefits of a BluWater Solutions Rain Garden
Cost effective
Designed to fit seamlessly into any landscape and requiring minimal upkeep, rain gardens are an efficient, affordable way to manage water in both new and existing urban spaces.
Reduces flooding and erosion
Rain gardens can absorb up to 30% more water than lawns, slowing down heavy rainfall and reducing pressure on sewers. By holding and filtering water at the surface, they also help prevent soil erosion and localised flooding.
Cleans water naturally
Acting as natural filters, rain gardens can remove up to 90% of pollutants and up to 80% of sediments from runoff - improving water quality and supporting healthier waterways.
Supports wildlife
Planted with a mix of resilient, native species, rain gardens attract birds, insects, and pollinators - enriching local biodiversity and creating vibrant, living ecosystems within the built environment.
Functional and attractive
Each design blends aesthetic appeal with environmental benefit, creating spaces that are easy to manage, enhance wellbeing, and deliver long-term value.
Installation & maintenance
BluWater Solutions can support you with a full service programme from design all the way through to arranging an ongoing maintenance programme.
