Below are some of our most commonly asked questions. If you have any others, feel free to call or drop in to our supply centre and nursery.
How much soil do I need to top dress my lawn?
As a general guide, we suggest using a depth of 10mm (0.01m). The tips of the grass should be showing through, so the lawn can properly photosynthesise. We advise top dressing your lawn every 12 to 18 months with dressing mix, topsoil, or river sand to increase nutrient retention, drainage and resistance against disease.
How much soil or mulch can I fit in my trailer?
Most single-axle trailers have a weight limit of about 600kg, but their volume varies greatly. At Buderim Landscape Centre, we sell our products by the cubic metre (m3). While you may be able to comfortably hold a cubic metre of light products, such as pine bark mulch, you might only safely transport half that amount in heavy materials.
Do you have a quality garden soil?
Yes! While we have a range of soils to suit all budgets, our premium blend is called ‘Super Soil’. Our experienced team have selected quality materials from a number of sources around the Sunshine Coast and blended them together at our Buderim premises. This special blend is renowned by our regular customers over the past 3 decades for generating spectacular plant growth in all conditions.
Do you sell plants?
Yes we do! We aren’t just a landscape supply yard, we also have a fully stocked nursery with lots of potted colour, flowers, natives, grasses and veggie seedlings, fruit trees and much more.
How often should I fertilise my lawn?
Our garden experts recommend fertilising your lawn at least 3 times a year to keep it healthy. You can also opt for slow-release lawn fertilisers. We have quite a broad range of organic and synthetic fertilisers suitable for both plants and turf.
How many bags of cement for half a cubic metre of sand and gravel mix?
Generally speaking, cement manufacturers recommend using 8 x 20kg bags of GP cement for every half cubic metre of concrete blend (sand & gravel mix). This of course can vary, depending on your application purposes i.e. slab vs posts.
Do you have irrigation?
Our range includes a variety of irrigation fittings from renowned brands PPI and Neta. We have joiners, elbows, clips and other parts ranging in size from 13mm to 25mm.
Can I get your products delivered to my home or worksite?
Yes, we deliver 7 days a week! A small surcharge does apply for Sundays and public holidays on account of the double-time rate for our drivers. We have 3 different size tip trucks that deliver from 7:00am to 3:00pm. Please call us during business hours to organise delivery.
Do you sell pavers?
Our Sunshine Coast yard stocks a number of popular outdoor paver styles from National Masonry and Adbri Masonry. We also stock some great value retaining wall blocks. If you require large quantities, please call ahead to book a courtesy trailer or we can have them delivered directly.
Do you accept Amex?
No. We do however accept Mastercard, Visa, debit card, cash and direct deposit.
