Frequently Asked Questions

How to care for a new lawn

To care for a new lawn, water the grass regularly, keep off the grass until it has rooted in, mow little and often, top up soil nutrient levels to encourage strong root growth, and don’t allow fallen leaves or debris to accumulate on your new lawn.

What is composite decking?

Composite decking is a man-made building product made up of a mix of wood fibres, plastics, and a small amount of bonding agents. It is an outdoor flooring solution that is engineered to better withstand the damaging effects of weathering.

What’s the difference between gardening and landscaping?

Gardening refers specifically to plants and including planning, planting, maintenance, weeding, harvesting and replacing. Our range of gardening products includes top soil, bark mulch, turf, composters and planters available in corner, rectangular, square and hexagonal options. Landscaping is more about the overall design of the outdoor space and how it can be used to its full potential with decorative elements including paving, decking, fencing, gates & railings, pergolas and garden lighting.
