Green Stormwater Infrastructure

Since 1992, ESC has designed and installed more than 100 wet ponds, rain gardens, and stormwater management projects for private, commercial, and civic clients.  ESC’s green infrastructure specialists provide ecologically sound design, installation, and management of native landscapes, riparian ecosystems, parklands, trails, rain gardens, and wet ponds throughout the Austin area.  Using best practices and locally sourced native plants, we create biologically stable ecosystems that naturally filter pollutants while supporting Central Texas habitats. Responsible biological controls and strategic first-year maintenance help ensure long-term performance and virtually mosquito-free systems.  Our projects are designed to reduce erosion and improve water quality while enhancing parks, neighborhoods, campuses, and public spaces with attractive natural features that often serve as community and educational resources.
