Natural Building Materials

Natural building materials are materials used in construction and landscaping that are derived from natural sources with minimal processing, such as wood, stone, clay, and bamboo. These materials are often renewable, biodegradable, and have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic materials. In landscaping, natural building materials are used to create features such as retaining walls, pathways, garden structures, and outdoor furniture. The use of natural materials contributes to sustainable design by reducing the carbon footprint of construction, supporting local economies, and creating outdoor spaces that blend harmoniously with the natural environment. When sourcing natural materials, it’s important to consider factors such as sustainability, durability, and the material’s impact on local ecosystems.
