At the heart of sustainable fencing practices is the selection of materials. Traditional materials like wood are replaced or complemented by sustainable alternatives. For instance, reclaimed wood is not only a cost-effective option but also reduces the demand for freshly cut timber, thus preserving forests. Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, is another excellent alternative. It is durable, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and its fast growth rate makes it an environmentally friendly choice for fencing.
In addition to material selection, Wantage Fence & Stonework practices sustainable construction techniques. This involves minimizing waste by careful planning and measuring materials precisely to reduce offcuts. Our team employs techniques that limit disruption to the surrounding ecosystem during installation. We take care to protect native plants and animals, leaving the smallest footprint possible while creating beautiful and functional landscapes.
Stonework presents unique opportunities for sustainable practices. One of the key aspects is selecting stone from local quarries. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supports local businesses. Moreover, natural stone is incredibly durable and requires negligible maintenance, reducing the long-term environmental impact. Where possible, we incorporate recycled stone products, which add character and sustainability to any project.
Permeable paving is another innovation that Wantage Fence & Stonework champions. Designed to allow water to pass through while maintaining the structural integrity of the surface, permeable paving reduces runoff and facilitates natural water filtration, thereby reducing the burden on municipal stormwater systems. This innovation not only assists with sustainable water management but also enhances the aesthetics of outdoor spaces.
