Omni Infinity Media

stormwater infrastructure that grows thriving landscapes

Omni Infinity Media® is a lightweight, high-performance stormwater growth media used for predictable hydraulic performance and long-term stability in green roof and bioretention systems.

Unlike conventional prepared soils, Omni Infinity Media provides predictable, long-term stormwater storage & infiltration performance while rapidly forming living soil. Its geologic structure delivers the reliability of infrastructure. Its biology enables the growth and evolution of living landscapes. The result is a complete soil ecosystem that manages water, supports plants, and performs for decades.

MADE FOR STORMWATER PERFORMANCE

Omni Infinity Media functions first and foremost to manage water. Its highly porous structure provides exceptional storage capacity while maintaining excellent permeability, allowing it to both retain and infiltrate stormwater efficiently. Because its performance relies on stable mineral structure rather than decomposable organic content, Omni Infinity Media maintains its hydraulic function over time. This enables engineers, designers, and owners to rely on consistent, long-term performance.

  • High stormwater storage: Manages significantly more stormwater than conventional prepared soils.

  • Long-term hydraulic function: Maintains pore space and permeability without significant decomposition or settlement.

  • Predictable performance: Provides consistent stormwater management over time. Meets FLL green roof guidelines.

  • Lightweight: Reduces structural load & transportation costs and expands design possibilities.

  • Sustainably Made: 100% peat free. 100% American made.

GOING BEYOND STORMWATER PERFORMANCE

RAPIDLY FORMS SOIL
Beyond its function as stormwater infrastructure, Omni Infinity Media is designed to become living soil. Following installation, biological processes begin immediately. Microbial communities establish, plant roots develop, and soil ecosystems form. Within months, Omni Infinity Media transforms from installed media into a stable, self-sustaining living soil. This living soil supports plant health and ecological function over time while maintaining its structural and hydraulic performance.

PROVEN TO SUPPORT DIVERSE PLANT COMMUNITIES
Omni Infinity Media has successfully supported more than 1,000 plant taxa across a wide range of climates and applications. From native grasses and perennials to shrubs and trees, it provides a stable, oxygen-rich environment for root development and long-term plant health. Its ability to support both plant growth and stormwater management allows landscapes to function as integrated ecological infrastructure.

A CONSISTENT STORMWATER MEDIA

Omni Infinity Media provides predictable, long-term stormwater storage and infiltration performance because its hydraulic function is derived from stable mineral structure rather than decomposable organic content.

Omni Infinity Media integrates geology and biology to create soil that performs both physically and ecologically. It includes:

  • GEO – a lightweight mineral aggregate that provides pore space and long-term stormwater performance

  • BIO – a biological component that introduces the microbial communities necessary for soil development and ecosystem function

Together, these technologies enable Omni Infinity Media to function as stormwater infrastructure while forming living soil from consistent specified inputs.

BIO and GEO are produced to stringent quality control standards, making them unmatched among growth media for high quality, reliable consistency, and universal availability across the U.S. Learn more about BIO and GEO.

ONE SOIL. INFINITE APPLICATIONS.

Omni Infinity Media enables high-performance landscapes wherever stormwater management and lightweight, clean growth media are required:

Its unique combination of lightweight structure, hydraulic performance, and biological function allows landscapes to succeed where conventional soils cannot.

A PROVEN TRACK RECORD

Don’t just take it from us. Omni Infinity Media has a proven track record for 2 decades running, has won 12 Awards of Excellence from GRHC, and is trusted by engineers, owners, contractors, and architects nationwide.

“(The Omni) prairie functions more as a thriving ecosystem than a green roof.”
— Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang Architects
“Omni’s soil is ideal for constrained sites and made for the perfect environment for a diverse palette.”
— David Rubin, Land Collective
“Omni is a game changer! Our builders appreciate how lightweight and easy it is to move, making the work much less strenuous.”

  • The Salt Shed

    Use of Omni Infinity Media saved this project hundreds of thousands of dollars across the civil, environmental, and landscape budgets. All of the landscape on the 4-acre Morton Salt site is rooted in Omni Infinity Media, which manages all of the required stormwater and eliminated hauling of the in-situ soils.

  • Carle Foundation Hospital

    This existing building had both limited structural capacity and a high wind uplift resistance to achieve. Omni Infinity Media threaded the needle, transforming a barren roof to a lush healing garden for hospital patients, visitors & staff.

  • North Union

    This park is on-grade, publicly accessible, and atop a parking garage. Omni Infinity Media made light work of the trees, lawns, and perennials to reduce structural load and maximize options for walking paths & other site features.
