Garden Soil with Bio Retention Properties

Garden soil with bio retention attributes is a specially engineered blend designed to support plant growth while effectively managing stormwater runoff. This material typically combines organic matter, sand, and fine aggregates to create a soil mix that promotes healthy root development and efficient water infiltration.

The bio retention attribute is crucial for sustainable landscaping and green infrastructure projects. It allows the soil to filter pollutants and control water flow, making it ideal for rain gardens, bioswales, and other stormwater management systems. In residential settings, this soil is perfect for eco-friendly gardens and landscape beds, while in commercial applications, it's commonly used in urban green spaces and environmental restoration projects. The main advantage of this soil is its ability to reduce erosion and improve water quality, though it may require periodic maintenance to retain optimal performance.
