Adbri Masonry (formerly Hanson ) have provided tips to turn backyard into a sustainable environment. These tips can help people in reducing the carbon footprint and give something back to the environment.

Adbri Masonry offer the following tips:

  • Watering: This helps to minimise evaporation. People should water the plants in the mornings or late afternoons and they should water only the roots of their plants. Showering the leaves should be avoided.
  • Paved areas: Get rid of perpetually thirsty lawn grass and impermeable concrete slabs that limit drainage and pave with pavers like Adbri Masonry’s Euro Pavers slightly spaced with pebbles or rocks to allow the water to run off back into the surrounding soil.
  • Lawn: Mow high and leave mulched clippings on the lawn to reduce evaporation.
  • Vegie patch: Growing the required vegetables is an ideal way to reduce the carbon footprint and these vegetables always taste better.
  • Greywater: Using a flexible hose, divert wastewater from the bath, shower, washbasin and laundry for outdoor use on gardens and lawns.
  • Plant a tree: Plant a shade tree in the backyard to provide shade and protection. To find out what trees are suitable in size and species for the specific area, people can visit their local council website.
  • Check the gear: Keep all irrigation systems running efficiently by checking for leaks, cracked pipes and hoses, or blocked sprinklers.
  • Patios and driveways: Use a broom, brush or rake to sweep and clean outdoor paths and paving instead of hosing down with water.
  • Pools: Fit a pool cover to reduce evaporation by up to 97%. Install a new water-saving pool filter and keep the pool's chemical balance right. This will reduce chemical costs and empty it less.
  • Rainwater tanks: Install a rainwater tank to reduce potable/tap water usage.
  • Compost: A compost bin or worm farm is a must in the sustainable garden. Throw all household plant and vegetable scraps into the bin and use the mineral-rich mulch on the garden and save on fertilizers.
  • Enjoy: People can now reap the bounty of their labour and spend more family time outside in their new environmentally friendly playground.
