Ross Reclamation was established in Ross-on-Wye in 2020 with a simple aim: to give quality building materials a second life. From reclaimed bricks and railway sleepers to roof tiles, timber and architectural salvage, the yard is full of materials ready to be reused in new projects.
Reclaimed materials bring something special to building and landscaping projects. They offer character, history and durability that are often difficult to find in modern materials, while also being a more sustainable choice.
Over the years the yard has become a regular stop for builders, landscapers, renovators and homeowners looking for materials with real character. Stock is always changing, and that’s part of the fun — every visit to the yard can reveal something new.
This blog will share a look behind the scenes at Ross Reclamation, along with ideas and examples of how reclaimed materials can be used in real projects. From garden landscaping and driveway edging to restoration work and creative builds, we’ll be showcasing some of the ways materials from the yard find their way onto building sites and into homes.

If you’re nearby, you’re always welcome to visit the yard at Ross Reclamation in Ross-on-Wye and see what’s currently in stock. You can contact is on 07794 411143 or at rossrec@icloud.com
