New and cutting edge design:
Rain Gardens
 

 

 

 

Manning Design can address your stormwater quality concerns with ecologically sensitive designs which may include rain gardens, bio-swales, and porous pavement. Marlies Manning has received advanced training in designing bio-infiltration best management practices for stormwater quality improvement.  Pictured is a highly successful rain garden located in Big Rapids, Michigan.  The garden was designed by Marlies Manning and implemented by the Big Rapids Garden Club for the City of Big Rapids.
