Paving
 

Most gardens have some hard surfaces - such as paving and concrete - used for driveways, patios or entertaining areas.

 

Always use a hard broom to sweep down outside paved or concreted areas. Never hose them down. Collect the leaves and dirt to use as mulch or compost.

 

South Australia’s level 3 water restrictions and permanent water conservation measures prohibit the hosing down of external paved areas with water at any time unless it is absolutely necessary to do so:

  • To protect public health; or
  • To ensure the safety of people using the area; or
  • To ensure the health and welfare of animals using the area; or
  • To deal with fire, accident or other emergency.
