| #D023 | Continuous Soil Trenches (CST) and Stormwater Tree Trenches (STT) | Continuous Soil Trenches (CST) and Stormwater Tree Trenches (STT) are trenches that exist beside sidewalks, roads, and other walkways that channel stormwater into planters in order to promote tree growth and other plants. In standard conditions, growing a tree to its fullest is a tedious task that requires lots of maintenance, especially when it comes to watering the tree. STT’s reduce the external dependency of the tree by providing an autonomous and resourceful means of hydrating the tree. A portion of the surface runoff is absorbed by the plant to diminish the amount of stormwater entering the trench. Within the right-of-way, some of these tree planting areas are supported by additional infrastructure in order to purposefully manage stormwater runoff. | high | |
