Raingardens from Marshalls

EDENKERB® from Marshalls

EDENKERB® is the first complete solution for integrating raingarden kerbs seamlessly into roadside schemes. It’s now possible to add this innovative Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) feature into projects simply and consistently, ensuring effective stormwater management and contributing to increased green space.

Comprising left and right-hand kerbs plus a flow-slowing diffuser flag, EDENKERB® enables precise detail and install of the inlet and outlet feature of the rain garden. The kerb’s integrated gradient promotes water entry from street level while the textured flag moderates flow. This combination facilitates water filtration and absorption by the garden’s vegetation and soil, resulting in an effective and attractive nature-based SuDS solution that enhances the local environment.

What are the benefits of a rain garden?

Urbanisation, population increase, and the impact of climate change have exposed towns and cities to increased risks of flooding and watercourse pollution – and these are predicted to become more frequent in the years ahead.

The government is trying to mitigate the consequences of these challenges with the introduction of Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act. This will become mandatory and force developers and housebuilders to align with new requirements in relation to the water management solutions on any new developments, with sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) playing a key role.

This must be achieved using features such as permeable surfaces, rain gardens, soakaways and other solutions that are designed to reduce the overall amount of water ending up in our sewers. We have seen the demand for rain gardens increasing over recent times and predict their use to continue to grow – in response we developed EDENKERB^®.
