Apply Slate or Decorative Gravel for a Quick Garden Fix
Our selection of wood chippings provides numerous options to swiftly cover up an unsightly area in your garden. Simply lay down a weed suppressant membrane over the area and rake the slate or gravel for an instant, durable solution.
Top tip – if the gravelled area is over soil, cut a cross through the membrane to plant, then re-cover around the plants for a stylish gravel or slate flower bed.
Decorative gravel is also excellent for topping planters and pots, adding instant cover and reducing water loss.
Use Railway Sleepers for Hard Landscaping
Railway sleepers continue to be a popular choice for garden landscaping projects, as these wooden beams are cost-effective, versatile, durable and suit both rustic and modern settings. They have a variety of uses in the garden including raised beds, retaining walls, lawn edging, steps, even garden furniture.

Edge Your Lawn or Pathways for a Polished Look
Neatening the ragged edges of a lawn can significantly enhance your garden’s appearance, preventing paths or borders from encroaching onto your well-kept grass. There are various methods available, but one of the quickest and most durable solutions is steel lawn edging.
Top tip – avoid plastic lawn edging rolls available in garden centers or DIY stores, as they lack the strength to provide a solid edge and won’t withstand a lawnmower or strimmer.
Apply Bark for a Natural Finish and Aesthetic
Mulching your flower beds or bare soil with bark chippings, applied over a weed suppressing membrane, is a fantastic way to quickly enhance your garden’s visual appeal. This technique is also applicable in landscaping for small gardens.
Besides controlling weeds, bark will also help retain soil moisture, protect your plants’ roots during winter, and provide an eco-friendly habitat for beneficial insects in your garden.
