Above you can find a cost breakdown of a 250m² [[Stormwater planters|non-infiltrating/filtration only Bioretention]] practice best suited in an urban environment where infiltration into underlying native soils may not be possible due to heavy use of utilities below, contaminated soils, shallow bedrock, and/or Zero-lot-line developments such as condos or dense urban infill.

As can be seen the greatest cost for this practice will be Material & Installation, which include costly components such as the, [[Liner|impermeable membrane/liner]] appropriate [[planting]] and [[vegetation]] selection, [[filter media]] and the stone storage layer or [[Bioretention: Internal water storage|Internal water storage zone (IWSZ)]].

#[[Bioretention: Full infiltration]]

 

As can be seen the greatest cost for this practice (regardless of configuration type) will be Material & Installation, which include costly components such as the, [[Liner|impermeable membrane/liner]] appropriate [[planting]] and [[vegetation]] selection, [[underdrain]], [[filter media]] and the stone storage layer or [[Bioretention: Internal water storage|Internal water storage zone (IWSZ)]].
