Using some materials whilst the effect can be brilliant adds new dimensions in terms of the original manufacturing process, telegraph poles in particular can release some real nasties into the soil contaminating for long periods afterwards. My favourite jobs are being able to supply timber for new projects cut and planked from trees on the same estate.
But in the past we have used shredded tyres, glass bottle bottoms, amongst others to complete jobs but such finishes are very subjective and tend to come as a decision straight from the client.
