What Is Green Space Rehabilitation?
Green space rehabilitation is a targeted process of repairing and enhancing landscaped areas so they support stormwater systems effectively. This can include soil restoration, strategic planting, erosion control, and drainage improvements. Our goal is to restore the land’s ability to filter water naturally while creating an attractive, low-maintenance environment.
Why Green Space Rehabilitation Matters
Without healthy green spaces, stormwater systems can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to pooling water, erosion, and regulatory violations. Rehabilitation restores their natural ability to filter pollutants, slow runoff, and protect surrounding waterways. This is essential in Philadelphia, where compliance with local stormwater regulations is strictly enforced.
The Lasting Benefits of Professional Green Space Rehabilitation
A properly restored green space offers benefits that go far beyond looks. Healthy soils and carefully chosen vegetation reduce runoff volume, filter pollutants, and protect your property from erosion. These improvements help you meet stormwater regulations, minimize maintenance costs, and create a safe, appealing outdoor environment for employees, residents, and guest’s
Benefits Include:
- Supports compliance with Philadelphia regulations
- Improves stormwater absorption and filtration
- Enhances curb appeal and property value
- Reduces erosion and flooding risks
- Extends the lifespan of stormwater infrastructure
- Creates safer, more usable outdoor spaces

How Green Space Rehabilitation Protects Stormwater Systems
Green space rehabilitation restores the land’s ability to manage water naturally. Healthy vegetation and strong soil structure work together to slow, absorb, and filter runoff, preventing harmful debris and pollutants from entering the storm system. Over time, this creates a more resilient site that can better handle heavy rainfall events.
In a city like Philadelphia, where paved surfaces dominate, every rehabilitated green space reduces strain on sewer systems and helps prevent overflows into rivers and streams. The result is cleaner water, stronger compliance, and in many cases, eligibility for stormwater fee reductions.
Common Questions About Green Space Rehabilitation
What are the signs my green space needs rehabilitation?
Common signs include bare patches of soil, poor plant growth, pooling water after rain, or visible erosion. You may also notice sediment collecting near drains, which indicates your green space is no longer filtering water effectively. Early intervention prevents these symptoms from escalating into compliance issues or structural damage to your stormwater system.
How often should green spaces be rehabilitated for optimal stormwater performance?
In most cases, a green space should undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation every 3–5 years, depending on site conditions, vegetation health, and the amount of foot or vehicle traffic the area receives. However, annual inspections are essential to identify early signs of erosion, compaction, or vegetation die-off that could compromise stormwater filtration. A consistent maintenance plan can help extend the lifespan of each rehabilitation effort and prevent costly emergency repairs.
How does green space rehabilitation improve compliance with Philadelphia stormwater regulations?
Philadelphia’s stormwater regulations require property owners to manage runoff effectively and maintain all stormwater features in working condition. Rehabilitation ensures that your green space meets these standards, supports overall system performance, and keeps your property in good standing with the Philadelphia Water Department.
Can green stormwater infrastructure be added to an existing property?
Yes. Even if your property was built without green stormwater infrastructure, retrofits are often possible. We start with a site assessment to identify feasible solutions, whether that is a green roof, bioretention basin, or vegetated swale. Our designs integrate seamlessly with your existing layout while improving compliance and stormwater fee savings.
Can green space rehabilitation reduce my stormwater fees?
Yes, in many cases rehabilitation projects make properties eligible for stormwater credit programs, which can significantly lower your stormwater fees. These programs reward property owners for maintaining effective stormwater controls that reduce the burden on municipal systems.
What maintenance is required after rehabilitation?
Once your green space is rehabilitated, basic upkeep like seasonal trimming, mulching, and erosion checks will keep it performing at its best. Our team can provide ongoing maintenance or train your staff to handle these tasks effectively.
Can green space rehabilitation be combined with other stormwater improvements?
Yes, rehabilitation often works best as part of a broader stormwater improvement plan. We can integrate it with other services like green infrastructure installations, drainage repairs, and vegetation management for a complete solution.
