Shoalwater green infrastructure projects in Seattle and Puget Sound
WHAT WE LOOK FOR

Strong projects usually start with a simple site opportunity.

A large roof with open landscape nearby. A downspout draining toward the street. An underused planting area. A parking edge that could become bioretention. A cistern opportunity. An existing system that needs to be brought back into service.

Shoalwater helps determine where green infrastructure fits practically, visually, and hydrologically.

PROJECT TYPES

Built around the property.

Rain Gardens

Capture roof or surface runoff and move water back into soil through landscaped, site-integrated systems.

Cisterns

Capture roof runoff for detention, controlled release, or future reuse depending on the project.

Bioretention

Use engineered soil, planting, and controlled drainage to slow, filter, and manage runoff at larger sites.

Rainwater Harvesting

Capture rain for irrigation or other appropriate non-potable uses where reuse improves the project.

Native Landscapes

Pair stormwater function with native planting, habitat, pollinator value, and better landscape performance.

GSI Restoration

Bring neglected or underperforming green infrastructure back into working condition.

HOW IT WORKS

A clear path from site to project.

01

Site Review

We evaluate roof area, runoff pathways, landscape opportunity, drainage constraints, and overall project fit.

02

Concept

We identify a practical green-infrastructure approach that fits the property and its goals.

03

Funding Path

Where relevant, Shoalwater helps identify rebates, public programs, grants, or outside funding.

04

Delivery

Shoalwater coordinates installation directly or through appropriate contractors and technical partners.

05

Documentation

The project receives a persistent record of installation, contributing area, project evidence, and modeled water outcomes.

WHO WE WORK WITH

Private property is where the opportunity starts.

Shoalwater works with property owners who want to improve drainage, landscapes, water use, resilience, or local environmental performance.

PROJECT PRINCIPLES

Good GSI should work for the property and the watershed.

01

Practical

Projects should fit how the property is actually used.

02

Integrated

Water infrastructure should feel intentional, not added on.

03

Documented

Every project should remain understandable after installation.

04

Scalable

Individual projects should be able to contribute to larger programs.
