What Is a Storm Water Planter?

A storm water planter is a large basin with a permeable bottom that collects water from a downspout connected to your roof gutters. The basin is filled with a combination of dirt, gravel and sand, forming a natural filter that strips away sediment and pollutants while providing an attractive place to grow wildflowers or other plants.

As a smaller-scale variation on popular “green roof” technology, storm water planters come in a number of different sizes and configurations. Basins can be installed above or in-ground — an overflow pipe allows water that has been processed through this natural filter to return back into the system.

Benefits of Installing a Storm Water Planter in Your Home

There are a number of reasons why storm water planters are gaining in popularity in homes throughout Auburn and the greater Syracuse area. A storm water planter:

  • Filters out sediment, bacteria, heavy metals and other debris from rainwater
  • Reduces the number of pollutants in the ground and in the water table.
  • Reduces the strain on your home’s drainage system and on municipal sewers
  • Provides an attractive addition to your home’s landscaping
