Recently we worked for a residential area where they asked us create green street rather than regular one. Check out website to see our work: https://www.premierconceptswa.com/

It is Florida so larger rain events will be allowed to overflow and enter into the existing culverts at intersections.

The planter needs to be designed to handle whatever nature throws at you.  You can retrofit the drain like Chris said to become the overflow at the down end of your planter. If you have a lot of slope, check dams can hold the water and pool it to infiltrate fully. Then the…[Read more]
