'''Stormwater tree trench installations include:'''
* Trees (tolerant to northern. urban conditions)
* Planting soil
* Structural soil
* Stormwater inlet and outlet structures,
* Distribution and drainage pipes
* Mulch
* Aggregate Base
* Choker layer
{{textbox|Stomwater tree trenches are ideal for:
*Sites with limited space for other surface stormwater BMPs that also possess primarily impermeable coverage (i.e. a municipality's "right-of-way", which includes the edge between private/public property, roadways, sidewalks and utility service land use)
*Areas with limited greenspace
*Projects with high traffic loads (pedestrian and vehicular), laneways, pedestrian plazas and walkways}}
'''Additional components may include:'''
* an underdrain system
* various configurations of soil cell additions
* geotextile fabric around soil cell structures
* impermeable geomembrane on sites where soil infiltration is not desired
* monitoring wells and clean-outs
* structural panels
* permeable pavers
