Sustainable Paving Solutions
Why Eco-Friendly Paving Matters?
The materials used in outdoor spaces have a significant impact on the environment. Traditional paving solutions can contribute to excessive water runoff, high carbon emissions, and unnecessary waste. By choosing eco-friendly paving, we help conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and promote a healthier planet.
- Permeable Paving: Supports better water drainage and reduces flooding risks.
- Low Carbon Footprint: Many of our paving options are designed to reduce environmental impact through sustainable sourcing, energy-efficient production, and lower transportation emissions.
- Heat-Reducing Properties: Natural materials help to cool outdoor spaces and reduce heat absorption.
Indian Sandstone & Natural Stone
Our Indian Sandstone Paving is ethically sourced and of the highest quality, ensuring both peace of mind and excellent value. Natural stone is a sustainable choice, requiring minimal processing and offering a long lifespan, reducing the need for replacements.
Granite & Limestone Paving
Granite is a durable, natural material that is recyclable, long-lasting, and free from harmful chemicals. Limestone is a biodegradable material that naturally breaks down over hundreds or even thousands of years due to environmental exposure. Unlike synthetic materials, it does not release harmful chemicals as it degrades, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Proper Installation & Maintenance for Sustainability
A long-lasting installation reduces the need for frequent replacements, minimising waste. Our Installation Guides help you achieve the best results. The aftercare and maintenance of your patio is an important step to making sure that your garden stays looking its best for longer. Sealing and gentle cleaning extends the lifespan of paving materials.
The EcoProTec range is an eco-friendly, low-odour, and low-VOC solution designed with advanced water-based technology. Offering long-lasting protection and easy application, these sealers ensure that all treated surfaces remain durable, functional, and environmentally conscious.
Sustainable Composite Decking & Fencing
Our Composite Decking & Fencing (WPC) is made from recycled hardwood fibres and polythene, creating a durable, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials. By repurposing waste, it helps reduce plastic pollution and landfill waste while conserving natural resources.
Unlike traditional timber, composite decking has a lower carbon footprint, requiring fewer replacements and no chemical treatments, making it a long-lasting and sustainable choice. With its extended lifespan and environmentally friendly manufacturing process, composite decking is a smart investment for both your outdoor space and the planet. Making WPC a greener choice over traditional wood.
Efficient Transport & Reducing Emissions
At Nustone, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact through smarter, more sustainable transportation. We are actively working towards integrating low-emission delivery vehicles into our fleet to minimise carbon emissions. By optimising delivery routes, we reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel consumption, ensuring a more efficient and eco-friendly distribution process.
We also prioritise local sourcing, reducing travel miles and supporting sustainability by keeping our supply chain closer to home. Additionally, we invest in driver training to promote eco-friendly driving practices that help cut fuel usage. Through collaborative logistics, we partner with other companies to share transportation resources, reducing the number of empty vehicles on the road and further minimising our carbon footprint.
Order Smart & Reduce Waste
To minimise excess materials, we offer made-to-measure orders to help avoid unnecessary waste, and we accept returns on full, unopened crates.
Reducing Plastic Waste & Sustainable Packaging
We prioritise recyclable and biodegradable packaging materials where possible to minimise landfill waste. Our bulk packaging strategy reduces material use, shipping more products with fewer resources.
Recycling Wooden Pallets & Crates
Once your project is complete, we encourage you to recycle wooden pallets and crates through local pallet collection services or household recycling centres. Many recycling centres accept pallet disposal free of charge, ensuring they are properly repurposed. You can even get creative and use them for DIY outdoor garden projects!
How Can I Help Nature In My Garden?
Encourage Biodiversity In Your Garden
Adding Planters to your garden is a simple yet effective way to encourage biodiversity and support local wildlife. By incorporating a variety of plants, you create essential habitats for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, which play a crucial role in plant reproduction and maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Birds and small mammals also benefit, from finding shelter and food sources within well-planned green spaces.
Beyond their ecological impact, planters help improve soil health, promote natural pest control, and contribute to a more vibrant, self-sustaining outdoor environment. Whether you opt for wildflowers, herbs, or native shrubs, introducing planters into your garden enhances both visual appeal and environmental sustainability, making your space a haven for wildlife.
