Frequently asked questions

Landscape supplies FAQ

Plain answers to what Brisbane customers ask us most: ordering, delivery, quantities and choosing the right product.

Ordering and delivery

How do I order bulk landscape supplies?

Send us the product, how many cubic metres you need (square metres for turf) and the delivery address through the quote form or ring (07) 3829 0459. We’ll confirm your price and a delivery time.

Where do you deliver?

All over Greater Brisbane, including North and South Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan City, the Redlands and Bay Islands, and the Gold Coast. See deliveries for each area.

Can one delivery include more than one product?

List everything you need in your quote request. Whether products can share a load depends on the truck and the materials, and we’ll tell you the best way to deliver them.

Where will the truck tip the load?

On the driveway or another firm, level spot the truck can safely get to. Loads are tipped, not placed, so keep the area clear and let us know about low wires, steep access or soft ground.

Quantities

What is a cubic metre?

It is a volume one metre long, one metre wide and one metre deep. Loose bulk supplies are sold by the cubic metre (m³), and one cubic metre spread 100mm deep covers about 10m².

How do I calculate the amount to order?

Length × width × depth, all in metres. A 5m × 2m bed filled 0.1m deep needs 1m³. Try the volume calculator.

How much turf do I need?

Measure the lawn area in square metres, then add about 5% for trimming around edges. Turf is sold per square metre.

Choosing products

What is the best mulch for a Brisbane garden?

Fine mulches like Tea Tree are great at holding moisture in beds, while chunkier Hardwood Chip and Cypress last longer and suit big areas.

Which turf is best for shade?

Sir Walter Buffalo. If it’s full sun and heavy wear, choose Wintergreen; if you want low upkeep, choose Zoysia.

Which road base is right for a driveway?

Most home driveways need Road Base 2.3 (CBR45). For heavy vehicles, use 2.1 (CBR80).

What goes under pavers?

A compacted layer of road base or crusher dust, topped with 20–30mm of bedding sand.

Does recycled concrete perform like blue metal?

For base, fill and drainage work that will be covered, yes, and it usually costs less. Choose blue metal for anything visible or for concrete.

Pricing

Why don’t you show prices online?

Because price depends on the product, quantity and delivery distance, we quote every order individually. How our pricing works explains what affects the total.

Is delivery included in the price?

Your quote includes both material and delivery, so you know the full cost before you confirm.

Describe the job. We’ll work out the quantity.

Tell us what you need, how much of it and where it’s going, and we’ll reply with a price and a delivery time.
