Landscape Design, Storm Water and Drainage Solutions in Chappaqua, NY With more frequent storms and greater volumes of rainfall/storm water, we need to consider how that impacts our properties and effects landscape design as well as maintaining our existing and future drainage systems. Wherever, whenever we can we design and employ bioengineering techniques. This may be as simple as bioswales and rain gardens or more advanced and complicated systems such as integrated, regenerative design landscape features such as constructed wetlands etc. Whatever the solution, ignoring potential future impacts including erosion etc. is not the answer. Landscape design, especially ecologically responsive design must anticipate weather and climate change as an integral component of your Landscape Master Plan. — Jay Archer President, Landscape Ecologist Green Jay Landscape Design 914-560-6570
