Erosion, Runoff and Pollution Solutions

Is your pond a muddy mess?

Stormwater areas are troubled with pollution from runoff and soil wash-out
We expect great results from our stormwater ponds. How do we achieve sustainable pond performance?

Purify your waterways with Prairie Pondscapes. We plant ornamental native grasses and flowers in formal, functional layouts. With roots holding your soil in place and absorbing pollution, Prairie Pondscapes bring harmony and value to your neglected neighborhood wetland reserves.

Together We Help
Diversity of Design

More than Erosion Control

Prairie Pondscapes tackle tough problems. For example, these ecotype-gardens typically combine rain garden, buffer strip and bioswale elements. Some designs may involve riprap, geotextiles or other green technologies. But the key is selecting ideal plants for your soil-type: a harmonious landscape that gives back more than it takes.

Clean Water

We filter the wetlands with ornamental native grasses and flowers. Their roots adapt quickly to control erosion.

Tidy Designs

Prairie Pondscapes lean on the principles of Dutch garden design: layered views, paths, geometric plots and hazy swaths of ornamental grasses.

Year-round Beauty

Successive planting means blossoms from Spring thru Autumn. Our flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds and finches all year.

Low Maintenance

Our technique & designs reduce trimming, herbicides, fertilizer, pollution, runoff, and mulch (which can wash into waterways).

REAL DESIGNS.

No Prairie Pondscape is the same. Each project has a different use-case.

Prairie Pondscapes are proven to work. These principles work so well… in fact, they are tax-exempt in Kansas.
