At Luna Sitework, we are dedicated to transforming stormwater management through innovative Low Impact Development (LID) solutions. Our services are specifically designed for residential customers and multi-family developments, ensuring sustainable, compliant, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes that enhance both the environment and property value. By integrating LID practices, we help you manage stormwater effectively while contributing to a healthier planet.

Low Impact Development is a sustainable stormwater management strategy that mimics natural hydrological processes. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, LID refers to "systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes that result in the infiltration, evapotranspiration, or use of stormwater to protect water quality and associated aquatic habitat" (EPA). By focusing on infiltration, filtration, and storage, LID reduces runoff volumes, mitigates flooding, and improves water quality. This approach is particularly valuable for residential and multi-family developments, where managing stormwater can be both a regulatory requirement and an opportunity to enhance community appeal.

We offer a range of LID services tailored to meet the unique needs of homeowners and developers. Each service is designed to integrate seamlessly with your project, ensuring compliance with local regulations and delivering long-term benefits.

LID Planters, also known as bioretention areas or rain gardens, are vegetated systems that capture and treat stormwater runoff. These planters use native plants and specialized soil media to filter water, removing pollutants before it infiltrates the ground or enters local waterways. For residential properties, LID Planters enhance curb appeal while preventing yard flooding. In multi-family developments, they provide functional green spaces that improve resident quality of life. Benefits include:

• Reduced flooding and erosion.
• Improved water quality through natural filtration.
• Enhanced aesthetic value with native vegetation.

Permeable paving solutions, such as porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or interlocking pavers, allow water to pass through the surface, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge. These materials are ideal for driveways, walkways, and parking areas in both residential and multi-family settings. Permeable paving is a key LID strategy that minimizes impervious surfaces and supports sustainable site design. Benefits include:

• Decreased stormwater runoff, easing pressure on municipal systems.
• Durable, low-maintenance surfaces that withstand heavy use.
• Support for groundwater recharge, contributing to local water sustainability.

Our advanced drainage systems are designed to work in harmony with LID principles, managing stormwater flow to prevent flooding and erosion. These systems include features like bioswales, detention basins, and decentralized controls that mimic natural drainage patterns. For single-family homes, these solutions ensure effective water management on smaller lots, while for multi-family developments, they handle larger-scale stormwater needs. Benefits include:

• Protection of local waterways by reducing runoff and pollutants.
• Custom designs tailored to the specific needs of your site.
• Compliance with local stormwater regulations.

Our LID services are customized to address the specific needs of our clients, ensuring practical and sustainable outcomes.

Homeowners benefit from LID solutions that enhance the functionality and value of their properties. By reducing flooding risks, LID Planters and drainage systems protect your yard and home infrastructure. Permeable paving for driveways or patios minimizes runoff while maintaining durability. Additionally, these solutions can lower utility costs by enabling stormwater reuse for irrigation. The aesthetic appeal of LID Planters also boosts curb appeal, potentially increasing property value.

Developers of multi-family projects face unique challenges, including stricter stormwater regulations and the need to create attractive, livable communities. Our LID services help you meet municipal requirements while reducing long-term maintenance costs. For example, permeable paving in parking lots and LID Planters in common areas enhance the sustainability and appeal of your development.
