Street Projects

When people talk about Maplewood rain gardens, they are usually referring to the gardens that are created as part of street reconstruction projects.

Since 1996, the city has installed over 700 boulevard rain gardens, which are planted and maintained by homeowners. In addition, we have over 60 rain gardens on city land that are maintained by city staff.
