Bio Retention Soil

Bio retention soil is a carefully formulated mix of washed sand, composted organic matter, and specialty amendments designed to intercept, absorb, and purify stormwater runoff. Its engineered porosity slows water flow, trapping sediments and pollutants before they reach storm drains and local waterways. Optimize your landscape with a specialized soil blend from Alternative Energy Products that’s engineered to manage stormwater, support healthy plant growth, and protect Nashville’s waterways.

Benefits of Bio Retention Soil

Flood and Erosion Control: Absorbs and retains stormwater on-site, reducing peak flows and preventing soil erosion.
Water Quality Improvement: Filters out sediments, nutrients (nitrogen & phosphorus), hydrocarbons, and heavy metals, safeguarding rivers and streams.
Enhanced Plant Health: Delivers essential nutrients and maintains optimal moisture levels for vibrant vegetation.
Urban Heat Island Mitigation: Supports green infrastructure that cools ambient air through evaporation and healthy plant growth.

Common Uses

Rain Gardens & Bioswales: Residential landscapes that capture rooftop and driveway runoff.
Parking Lot Islands & Medians: Commercial sites employing vegetated swales to manage surface water.
Municipal Green Infrastructure: Street-side bioswales, public gardens, and park drainage systems.
Stormwater Planters & Infiltration Basins: Engineered for high-density developments to meet regulatory standards.
