Stormwater Workshop: Practical Drainage Assessment and Solutions for Landscape Professionals

Thursday, February 26, 2026

1:00pm-3:00pm

Instructed by: Trevor Smith, ReEarth Studio

Water is one of the most powerful forces shaping our landscapes, yet it often creates some of the biggest challenges for professionals in the field. From flooded lawns to eroding slopes, drainage issues can quickly compromise both aesthetics and function. This interactive three-hour workshop equips landscape professionals with the tools and strategies needed to assess a site for water management problems and design effective, site-specific solutions. Participants will work through real-world scenarios, practice diagnostic techniques, and explore practical applications of stormwater management strategies that balance ecological health with client needs.

Key topics include:

  • Identifying common signs of drainage problems during site assessment
  • Matching site conditions with appropriate solutions
  • Practical applications of rain gardens, bioswales, and permeable surfaces
  • Integrating tree planting and vegetation for natural water management

This hands-on session will leave attendees with both the confidence and the practical toolkit to address drainage challenges with creativity and effectiveness.
