Sloped Site Move water with a swale. Swales are a cost-effective way to manage stormwater in your landscape, as opposed to installing pipes and subdrainage. They also make the movement of water visible, which can create a defining aspect to the landscape design. A swale that’s curvy and bumpy will provide maximum benefit for slowing down water. The curves create a meandering path for the flow of water, and rocks and plants break up the surface to aerate the water as it moves.

Plant steep slopes. Plant slopes with herbaceous and woody plants to slow down quickly running water. This does several good things: It reduces the likelihood of erosion, stabilizes the slope and slows water down significantly more than a slope planted with a mowed lawn.
