Stages 1-3 and 5 of the LID construction process are fundamentally similar for all '''surface-level LID''' types (bioretention, bioswales, enhanced grass swales, permeable pavements, infiltration chambers, infiltration trenches, soakaways, etc.). To illustrate, STEP's recommended processes for excavation do not differ depending on the practice type. Excavation is excavation, whether it is for a bioretention garden or a permeable pavement parking lot. On the other hand, stage 4 sub-tasks will vary substantially from LID type to LID type, as do some sub-tasks in stage 3. The following gives a brief explanation of each over-arching stage and links to the pages dedicated to each construction stage.

''Green roofs, blue roofs, and rainwater harvesting systems''' each has specific construction requirements. One day we will write guidance for these LID practices as well
