The Unpave the Way Project has created the new ‘Driveways and Gardens Design Handbook for Householders’. It’s a free resource which is full of ideas to help you make design choices in your driveway and front/back garden which slow the flow of rainwater leaving your property to help reduce flooding.

 

 

Download the handbook here: Driveways and Gardens Handbook

It includes:

  • Permeable paving options for driveways (including cost comparison).
  • Low maintenance planting list.
  • Front garden and driveway design examples.
  • Tips for managing a waterlogged garden.
  • DIY designs for a rain garden, water butt, green roof and downspout planter.

Let the Unpave the Way Project know how useful you found the handbook via email: [email protected]

If you recreate the features in the handbook in your own driveway/garden we would love to see! Tag the project in your pictures on social media using #unpavetheway or email them to: [email protected]
