What Landscape Supplies products do you have?
How do I buy your Landscape Supplies products?
Urban Pavings product can be bought by the bag (20 litre), scoop (0.3m3) or delivered bulk by the cubic metre.
Do you have Courtesy Trailers?
Yes we have single axle trailers (good for one or two scoops of product), tandem axle trailers (three scoops of product) and high sided trailers (up to 5 scoops of the lighter products like bark). A scoop is a third of a cubic metre. The trailers are courtesy (free) for the cartage of our product with a time limit of 90 minutes.
Do you deliver product?
Yes, we can deliver up to 5 tonne of product, which differs in the volume depending on the product. For stones and aggregate we can deliver 3 cubic metres (10 scoops), for soils we can deliver 4 cubic metres and for barks and composts we can deliver 6 cubic metres.
What size are your trucks and will they fit up my driveway?
They are 2.1m wide and 2.4m high before the deck goes up. Their gross (loaded) weight is 9 tonne, (be aware of the weight for your driveway, but there are very few driveways that will not handle our trucks).
What is the difference between BioBlend and Zoom Grow?
Zoom Grow is a mushroom based compost with rotted sawdust and other ingredients to form a nutritive compost. You should be careful to avoid acid loving plants (eg Rhodos, Azaleas and Camellias) unless blended with soil (50:50 minimum). Bio Blend is a matured blood and bone based soil conditioner/organic compost with high supply of micronutrients, beneficial for a wide range of horticultural uses. It is high in nitrate nitrogen (the form of nitrogen that plants love) and low in ammonia nitrogen (the form of nitrogen young plants hate).
How much product do I need?
Working out the amount you need is done by taking the area (square metres) and multiplying it by the depth required (refer question below). So as an example take the length of your area and multiply it by the width, i.e. if your garden is 5mtrs by 7mtrs then this is 35m2. Then take this area and multiply it by the depth. i.e. you want the product to be 5cm so 35m2 x 0.05 = 1.75m3. You have worked out you need 1.75 cubic metres!
How deep should the product be?
The recommended depth varies, depending on type and of size of product, what you are trying to achieve and if you are using weedmat. Some guidelines for depth of product are:
| Product | Apx depth with no weed mat |
Apx depth wtih weed mat |
| Nugget Bark | 50–100mm (0.05-0.1) | 40-70mm (0.04-0.07) |
| Small Stones (5 – 20mm) | 20-60mm (0.02-0.06) | 15-40mm (0.015-0.04) |
| Larger stones (25 – 50mm) | 40-80mm (0.04-0.08) | 30-70mm (0.03-0.07) |
