A wetland can range from a slight depression, that holds water only after a rain shower, to a forested swamp with saturated peat soils.

Wetland Management

Wetland areas are defined by the types of vegetation, soils and hydrology. Wetlands are complex, environmentally sensitive eco-systems that are subject to their own set of federal, state, and local regulations. Wetland restoration and landscaping near a wetland may require mitigation procedures such as a specific planting design, low-impact construction, or other preservation measures.

Wetland Delineation

Wetland delineation is simply identifying the boundary between a wetland and the adjacent upland. If you are planning on landscaping a part of your yard that contains a wet area, a wetland delineation should be performed to determine if a wetland exists on your property.

Environmental Construction landscape professionals can answer your questions about the wetland restoration process and wetland delineation.
