Bayou Planting Guide

The guide is created for communities who
own land along one of the bayous, for those who have detention swales, diversion swales, rain gardens and/or ponds on their properties and for agencies who have some responsibility for bayou maintenance.
This guide is designed to better utilize our extensive bayou system, which extends through 22 watersheds.
Our bayou corridors can and should serve a vital role providing parklands, open green spaces and water amenities.

The proposed project would raise the elevation of the existing I-10 main lanes above the floodplain of White Oak Bayou from Heights Blvd. to I-45. The proposed construction area would be approximately 1.8 miles in length. The project also includes the construction of a 21.7-acre detention pond located on the north side of I-10 between Taylor St. and Houston Ave. and would construct a 10-foot shared use path on the north side of I-10 along White Oak Bayou between Studemont St. and I-45.
