Mulches

Quality mulches can have a dramatic effect on your garden.

Adding the simplest of finishing touches to the garden can turn a dull, lifeless space into a dramatic centrepiece within minutes.

Sands, gravels, decorative bark – all these can be used to add a burst of colour and freshness to the minimalist of garden designs.

Not only do they add the perfect completion to any container, bed and border or pathway, they have fantastic benefits for flowers, shrubs and trees as well.

Therefore, if you’re looking to create a natural look within the garden with mulches and quality products, Westland’s Potting Grit easily achieves this when placed around the tops of containers, pots and rockeries. Opening up the compost by improving drainage, the specially sourced graded lime free grit adds contrast and texture to its environment and it helps suppress weeds.

If however, you are trying to make a permanent feature for example a garden path, Garden Gravel is another way to achieve this effortless effect. Not only can you create a natural looking path in minutes but also you don’t have to worry about weeds popping up as it helps to suppress these pests!

If you are worried about choosing the correct mulches and products when it comes to selecting wood chips, Westland has a comprehensive range to choose from.

They actually play a vital role when it comes to mulching around beds and borders, trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials. Westland’s range of Decorative Wood Chips, and various barks including Golden Pine and Chipped can help reduce water loss from the soil, minimise weed infestation and improve soil structure.

From a purely aesthetic point-of-view there’s no need to worry about the colours fading on the range of Terracotta and Black Decorative Wood Chips as each piece of FSC approved piece of wood is specially treated so the colour stays as vibrant as the flowers and foliage.

For a garden designed to stimulate a child’s imagination Play Sand not only creates a very attractive sand pit, it also provides youngsters with hours of fun. The fine grade silica brings peace of mind to the parent, as it is clean and safe.
