Any body have done it before and have any spec have to take note? Have any method to construct it? Appreciate yours idea. Thanks

Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation has a BMP manual with a few pages of information. You probably need a Landscape Architect to specify appropriate vegetation.

Another good source is from Kansas City. They have worked to promote LID on an individual basis for several years now. Do a google on "1000 raingardens". They have a lot of plant and design info available as well.
