Landscape Supplies in Trangie

Many landscaping suppliers offer seasoned hardwoods suitable for cooking, especially for campfires, fire pits, and wood-fired ovens. Hardwood types like ironbark, red gum, or box are ideal for consistent heat, long burn time, and clean flavour. Always ensure the firewood is untreated and chemical-free—painted or treated wood should never be used for cooking due to toxic emissions. For best results, store firewood in a dry, covered area with good air circulation to keep it dry and ready to use. Check with your supplier to confirm if their firewood is suitable for culinary use.

Yes, installing a proper base layer beneath decorative stone is crucial for stability, drainage, and longevity. Without a base, stones may shift, sink, or become uneven over time. A common approach involves laying and compacting a road base or crushed rock layer, followed by a weed-suppressing geotextile fabric. This setup prevents weeds from pushing through and improves load distribution for walkways or seating areas. Once the base is in place, the decorative stone can be spread evenly. This layered method ensures your landscaping looks clean and remains functional for years to come.

Organic mulch should generally be replenished every 12 to 18 months, depending on the type and local conditions. Over time, mulch breaks down and integrates into the soil, enriching it with nutrients. However, exposure to sunlight, wind, and rain can cause it to fade, compact, or become patchy. When the mulch layer becomes too thin—typically under 5cm—it loses its effectiveness in suppressing weeds and retaining moisture. Regular inspection every season is recommended. Refreshing mulch not only maintains plant health but also improves your garden’s appearance and reduces ongoing maintenance.
