The Hydroplanter system enables the creation of rain gardens that channel, filter and drain stormwater. They can be installed in existing surfaces or integrated into new projects.
The concept is flexible and scalable. Each module connects easily, allowing for quick installation.
Description:
Designed to capture and manage rainwater, a rain garden is a sustainable and eco-friendly landscape solution. When installed in urban environments, it offers multiple benefits such as reducing flood risks by temporarily capturing and retaining rainwater from roofs, driveways or roads, thereby relieving sewer systems.
The collected rainwater is naturally filtered through plants and soil substrates, which trap pollutants such as sediments and heavy metals. As a result, the water that reaches the drainage system linked to the rain garden is cleaner and released more gradually during heavy rainfall. By slowing runoff, a rain garden helps prevent soil erosion, especially in urban areas.
In addition, rain gardens promote urban biodiversity thanks to a variety of plants that attract insects and pollinators. They also provide aesthetic value by integrating greenery into urban landscapes. Overall, they offer a resilient solution to climate change by helping manage intense rainfall events and reducing urban heat island effects.
The Plantco Hydroplanter rain garden is a plug-and-play Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) that delivers all the benefits of traditional rain gardens. It helps purify stormwater while enhancing biodiversity and visual appeal in both new and existing spaces.
Made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastics, the Hydroplanter modules are available in 4 different units to suit various project needs. Whether your project is one metre or twelve metres long, the modular range allows for the creation of a tailored rain garden system. The Plantco Hydroplanter concept is flexible and scalable, with each unit stacking together to form a practical solution suitable for contractors. The modules are filled with a specific soil mix and planted with wildflowers and biodiversity-friendly grasses.
Installation is quick and simple, offering significant cost savings compared to alternative methods.
The modular design, combined with pre-calculated hydrological performance data, makes specification and design straightforward for any given catchment area.
