Before
There is a strong movement towards including permeable alternatives into both commercial and residential landscaping in the Guelph area of Ontario. The management of storm water where it lands and the introduction of new storm water taxes are leading more and more residents to explore permeable alternatives such as the Ecoraster system.
Preparation
The landscape designer of this project, Nathan, is strongly focused on sustainability and green alternatives and turned to Purus NA Ecoraster to discuss possible design options for an upcoming residential driveway that could be greened, retain its permeability and be easy to maintain.
Together with the customer, they decided to go with Ecoraster E40.
Installation
They installed the Ecoraster onto of a properly prepared based and filled the cells of the grid with small pieces of sod.
They incorporated driving lanes using interlocking paving stones.
After
The finished product is beautiful and they are very pleased with the results.
Project Gallery
Ferguson’s ability to provide turnkey engineering support and consultation on grant-funded municipal projects helps public dollars be stretched to their fullest extent and potential. Ferguson’s help from the conceptual plan to the pricing (to conform with procurement policies) and construction phases (with a quality contractor) is extremely helpful and provides tremendous added value to this City project. I hope we have the opportunity to apply this approach to other projects within the City of Westbrook.

Spruce Meadows Riding Arena Footing
Equestrian arenas are often built without correct stormwater drainage, meaning they offer little mud control for horses and riders and are prone to wet, muddy conditions.
