In addition to being a beautiful outdoor performance and entertainment space, Foegley Plaza is a permeable brick structure which catches precipitation and surface runoff, storing it in an underground reservoir while slowly allowing it to infiltrate into the soil below. It is probably the greenest structure on the civic theater grounds and makes the Civic […]
Over the next several weeks we will be posting a series of videos which document the construction of Foegley Plaza At the South Bend Civic Theater. It seems fitting that we played a major role in Sponsoring, developing and constructing this facility during our 60th year in business. The Plaza represents a continuation of Foegley […]
The spring we completed a patio and landscape for Trinity Evangelical Free Church in South Bend Indiana. If your organization is in need of a similar space or gathering place, please give us a call or drop us an email by clicking here. Trinity produced a very nice video showing the patio and explaining its […]
It is always refreshing to hear good feedback about our crews! We’re really proud of this unsolicited feedback and want to share it! Recently we had Foegley Landscape remove two timber retaining walls and rebuild them with Estate wall blocks. We are pleased with the results; the new walls look great! The Foegley architect did […]
This is a short followup video showing our permeable brick driveway in action. There is no runoff from the driveway as seen in the video! We’ve had a garden hose running full stream on it and it takes all the water down – no runoff. All that water goes into the ground instead of the […]
If you find it difficult to visualize what a new patio, outdoor kitchen or retaining wall will look like, Foegley Landscape can help. We are now utilizing Uvision 3D Landscape Creator so we can present layouts, concepts and much more! With Uvision, we can show textures and colors for brick pavers and walls. […]
The last steps for our Permeable brick driveway increase the stability of the brick surface. After the pavers are laid, perimeter edging is installed. During installation we used crushed concrete at the edges where edging would be needed so the drive has a firm foundation that the edging could be staked into. After edging installation […]
Unilock Eco Priora was selected for this permeable pavement driveway. It is larger than standard pavers and has ridges which create uniform gaps between the bricks so water can percolate thru very rapidly. The drive was designed to minimize cuts and included a tan herring bone pattern field which featured a brown cross and brown soldier course […]
Permeable pavement is basically the construction of a hard surface that water can go thru very rapidly. This requires different materials and processes than standard brick pavement. Compacting the subgrade provides a solid foundation for a permeable driveway, but it is important not to over compact as that may prevent good drainage. After a quick, […]
Permeable brick driveways and walks are increasingly popular due to their ability to virtually eliminate storm water runoff. In addition to being eco-friendly, they look fantastic! This is the first of four articles which will document a permeable brick drive installation. This 500 square foot driveway was a perfect candidate as the drive sloped from […]
