Landscape Supplies Byron Bay

Yes, sand is commonly used for leveling uneven areas in backyards or gardens. It provides a stable, compactable base and is especially useful under turf, pavers, and garden beds. Coarse sand allows for good drainage and reduces compaction issues that can harm plant roots. Before spreading sand, it’s important to remove debris and weeds and compact the surface. For best results, apply the sand in thin layers and use a screed or rake to achieve a smooth, level finish.

To prevent weeds in gravel areas, it’s essential to prepare the site properly. Start by removing existing vegetation and laying a high-quality geotextile weed barrier fabric. This allows water to drain while blocking weed growth. Then add a thick layer of gravel—typically 50–100mm deep. Choosing angular gravel helps it lock together, making it harder for weeds to break through. Regular maintenance, like using a natural herbicide or manually removing stray weeds, will help keep your path looking tidy.

When creating a fire pit or decorative outdoor feature, heat-resistant rocks like granite, lava rock, or river rock are the best choices. These materials can withstand high temperatures without cracking. Avoid sandstone or wet, porous rocks, as they may contain moisture and could explode when heated. For purely decorative use, a variety of stones can be used to match your aesthetic, but ensure proper spacing, base preparation, and safety if fire or heat will be involved.

To improve soil quality in Byron Bay’s coastal-climate gardens, we recommend a blend of high-quality soil mixes, organic compost, and nutrient-rich mulch. Premium garden soils enriched with compost or worm castings help boost fertility and soil structure, while fine to coarse sands aid drainage in heavy clay soils. Mulches like hardwood chips or composted bark retain moisture, suppress weeds, and slowly release nutrients into the soil. Improve your garden’s soil with premium landscape supplies in Byron Bay tailored to local conditions.

Mixing different types of gravel can indeed improve drainage in your garden, particularly when layering coarse and fine aggregates. For Byron Bay gardens, a common method is to use a base layer of coarse drainage gravel topped with finer river pebbles or decorative gravel for visual appeal. This approach allows water to pass quickly while reducing surface erosion and compaction. It’s especially helpful in areas prone to heavy rainfall or for garden beds that require excellent drainage around plant roots.
