- Materials
- If choosing stone, make sure stone is sourced from quarries that have been inspected and approved.
- Look to see whether existing materials can be re-used.
- If you don't want to use old material, ask around if there is anyone who would like to get some.
- Make sure all timber come with a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certificate.
- Try to buy charcoal for barbecues from a sustainable source that help restore woodland.
- Instead of concrete blocks, use earth-rammed walls where excavations of sub-soil can be used to build free-standing or covered structures.
- Water
- Instal an irrigation system.
- Collect rainwater.
- Use plants that have a measure of drought tolerance such as herbs or prairie.
- Bare soil mulched with well-rotted compost or wood chippings will prevent water loss.
- Water in the cool of the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation losses.
- Introduce decking, gravel, paving and cobbles features as an alternative to water guzzling lawns.
- Use mulches such as wood chips, bark and gravel to help prevent water evaporation.
- Recycle
- Have a compost heap at home or make sure your waste is recycled by either the council or a friend.
- Use green manures to feed the soil.
- Earth which has been dug out can be recycled to form an 'eco mound' to house a garden building.
