==Inspection and Maintenance==
Maintenance requirements for [[bioswales]] is similar to [[swales00 and [[bioretention]]. It typically involve a low level of activity after [[vegetation]] becomes established. [[Grass]] channel maintenance procedures are already in place at many municipal public works and transportation departments. These procedures should be compared to the recommendations provided on the [[Inspection and Maintenance: Enhanced Swales]] page to assure that the infiltration and water quality benefits of enhanced grass swales are preserved.

Meanwhile, bioswales also require regular weeding, pruning, and mulching, similar to other landscaped areas, as well as the removal of trash, debris and sediment accumulated in pretreatment areas, inlets and outlets.
