How our products are Environmentally friendly:

• Our Eco Anchor foundation system offers a small environmental footprint compared to conventional foundation systems such as concrete slabs, pads and stumps etc.

• A range of environmentally friendly services can be installed, including solar panels, septic and filtration systems etc.
• Our Eco Decking flooring is manufactured from a recycled rice husk composite material offering natural thermal insulation. With the colour embedded into each board no painting or staining is required preventing harmful chemicals spilling into the earth.
• Durability of product means minimal maintenance and disturbance on site
