Mulching acts as a weed suppressant while also helping to reduce water evaporation by locking in moisture levels. Prevent invasive weeds and reduce water usage by decorating your garden with our Midnight Mulch, which brilliantly highlights structural plants and formal hedges, providing a fantastic colour contrast.

Enhance the design of your Spring garden with decorative gravel and pebbles. The speckled appearance and rough texture of our Charcoal Lava Pebbles will add a stylish detail to an otherwise bland garden element like a water feature or pot plant.

6. Concrete Retaining Wall Blocks

“The language of gardening fuels the senses: talk with your hands, observe with your ears and listen with your eyes” – Costa Georgiadis

Unlike in-ground gardens, raised beds warm up quicker, drain better and allow roots to receive more oxygen, producing a longer growing season and better plant growth in Spring.

So get the family together and make memories by updating your outdoor space with a raised garden bed. Made with concrete masonry, our concrete retaining wall blocks are durable, stress-free, and can be interlocked to support your next DIY backyard project.

Suggested Product:

Adbri Masonry AB Aussie Vertical is great for DIY projects like residential walls, retaining walls and planter boxes/vegetable patches. Suitable for straight or curved garden edging and reclaiming sloped land.
