Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of adding value to one of my IP's and in need of some crush rock and top soil. Can any one recommend a supplier in Melbourne (prefer west if possible) that sells these two items at a reasonable price? I was originally going to use pebbles but it would cost me a fortune. It's basically to get rid of the mud, and refill garden beds with top soil.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi there,
Because you are in the west and have made mention of mud, I'm going to assume you are dealing with clay soil. If so, it really would be a good idea to get some gypsum (it's white powdery stuff you dig and rake into the soil… makes it easier to work with). I'd then leave that to work its way in for a few days and then do the top soil and/or mushroom compost or something.
Generally I use All Green Nursery in Hoppers Crossing but honestly they are probably all quite similar.
I think you can get gypsum delivered from a nursery, but you can also buy it in bags at Bunnings.
Cheers!

Thanks jacm, I was going to try all green nursery and soil werxs in werribee. That’s good advice regarding the gypsum, I didn’t think of that.
If you don't use gypsum, your soil will remain a nightmare. Get the gypsum, and plenty of it. This will dictate what kind of plants will succeed… or whether you'll just end up with the only type of plant that will thrive…. Jurassic Park style weeds

That’s a great idea! Renovating your garden and make it low maintenance. Of course, you don’t like a muddy garden. Pebbles would be nice to enhance your garden. Try these suppliers
