In 2008 the Government introduced new legislation that requires permeable materials to be used when paving front gardens.
With the weather this week , we would do well to give this consideration.
Permeable paving is gravel or vegetable areas.
Water is then directed away from impermeable areas.
There are many new and exciting materials on the market to help with this.
The major manufacturers of building materials, such as Marshalls, now produced these
products.
Good Garden Designers will be able to suggest a range of materials that are suited to reducing “run -off” from front gardens.
we can all start to think about this.
