- Landscape
materials
- Landscaping offers a huge
range of opportunities to use recycled materials -bricks, pavings,
railway sleepers and many other materials can be creatively reused.
Visit our page on architectural
salvage to find local suppliers of secondhand building materials.
-
- Other possibilities are presented
by the use of natural and renewable materials -walls of rammed
earth, stone gabions or using car tyres for exmple.
-
- The things to avoid are materials
that have a high embodied energy -for example if they have been
transported halfway round the world -landscaping materials tend
to be bulky and heavy and the implications of long distance transport
are more significant.
