Municipalities

Pristine parks and a healthier budget.

City and county parks departments are caught between rising water costs and the public's demand for beautiful, safe green spaces. Aleterra upgrades the soil under your parks so it holds more water, cutting irrigation 60–90% while keeping them green.

The solution

An infrastructure upgrade, made of biology.

Our managed soil revitalization service restructures the soil under parks, sports fields and greenbelts so it holds water on its own. Rain and irrigation soak in instead of running off, and plants stay healthy on far less water.

  • Lower operating costs you can put back into your parks
  • Healthier, more resilient green space during droughts and watering restrictions
  • No construction and no disruption to park users

Parks departments in Santa Fe, Alamogordo, Truth or Consequences, Artesia and Hobbs have used the technology. Here is Tularosa City Hall, photographed from the same spot before treatment and in the weeks after.

Sponsored by industry

Your parks can be funded by a data center.

Data centers building in your region need to show the community they conserve more water locally than they use. Through Aleterra, they can fund the treatment of your parks and green spaces, with no new cost to taxpayers and co-branded signage that shows residents who's paying for the conservation.

How the data center program works →
Community benefits

More than water savings.

Better absorption

Better-structured soil lets rain and irrigation soak in instead of running off compacted ground.

Cooler neighborhoods

Parks stay green and keep cooling the area through heat waves and watering restrictions.

Less dust

Stable soil aggregates resist wind erosion, keeping dust out of the air.

Stormwater control

Soil that absorbs heavy rain reduces runoff and localized flooding.
