The Impact of Landscaping Debris on Stormwater Systems
Landscaping materials are a common source of stormwater debris. Mulch, soil, grass clippings, and plant matter are easily washed into storm drains during irrigation and rain events.
Once inside the drainage system, landscaping debris accumulates and restricts water flow, increasing the risk of flooding and erosion.
Sites with frequent landscaping activity often experience higher maintenance demands due to repeated debris buildup.
Routine surface cleanup and proper drainage protection help reduce the amount of landscaping material entering storm drains.
Debris caps provide a reliable solution by capturing landscaping debris before it reaches underground pipes.
