Wastewater Gardens® can beautify your home

Wastewater Gardens® are an economical, practical, low maintenance, and sure-safe solution to wastewater treatment. With Wastewater Gardens® you can preserve and recycle your area’s natural resources, while enhancing the beauty of your property’s surroundings. There are no odors, and since people will only see a beautiful, green garden, they can be placed near entrances and gathering places. If you have limited space on your site, existing gardens can be transformed into Wastewater Gardens®.

The Wastewater Gardens® that we had installed is not only a visual enhancement, but knowing what a benefit to our earth it is, makes it so much more enjoyable - truly the best improvement we’ve made to our home.
Laurie Welnick, Home owner, Akumal, Mexico


How we work with you to create your Wastewater Gardens®

1. Initial Consultation - to determine whether a Wastewater Gardens® system is suitable. We will review site and building location plans and discuss location of the septic tank, graywater recycling and Wastewater Gardens® system. At this point we will ask you to fill out our Project Preliminary Information Sheet. The information provided on this form will help us to determine the size needed for your system design.

2. Initial site visit - to review land contours, existing trees, drainage areas and other factors that will affect the placement and design of the systems. Shapes for the gardens will be discussed at this time as well as types and varieties of plants suitable to your taste.

3. Proposal - based on the results of the first two steps, we will send you a job proposal including an initial price quote and design specifications for your review and approval. Upon approval, construction plans are discussed, a suitable schedule is determined and then a final contract is signed.

4. Construction of Wastewater Gardens® and/or graywater treatment systems. Our expert construction team will stake out the area for the systems, and after the cement is placed, a static water test (to check for any leaks) is conducted. Piping, pumps and any other special project needs are then installed and gravel is placed in the systems.

5. Planting & training - Depending upon which option you choose, either we will plant the Wastewater Gardens® or conduct a site visit to supervise the planting according to the design and plan. You can choose from a wide selection of special wetland plants and either work together with our in-house Wastewater Gardens® landscape designer, or create your own design. At this time we also deliver the system’s Maintenance Manual, and teach you or your staff the few simple procedures of how to operate and maintain the Wastewater Gardens®.

You will receive a certification of authenticity of your systems, and our Wastewater Gardens® team is available to assist with any questions you have about your systems at any time.

Please contact us if you have questions or to set up an appointment.
