Over four years ago we had our first Silva Cell installation, on the sidewalk in front of a DeepRooter’s house in Redwood City, CA. The picture above was taken shortly after the installation was completed. So, what does it look like today?
That’s a happy tree.
Introduction Underground stormwater storage systems don’t always play nicely with trees. They’re typically designed as siloed subsurface systems — isolated from surrounding soil and root zones to reduce risk and simplify performance. Trees, on the other hand, require space, soil volume, and access to water to grow and thrive. The result is a disconnect. Stormwater… More
Introduction Municipal street reconstruction is often triggered by aging underground infrastructure: water mains, sewer lines, utilities, sidewalks, curbs, or drainage systems that have reached the end of their service life. But once a street is opened up, the project becomes more than a repair. It becomes a planning opportunity. Instead of simply replacing old infrastructure… More
