Spring Gardening and Landscaping
Get Your Garden Ready for a Fresh Start!
Spring is the perfect time to get outdoors and give your garden a fresh start. As the weather warms up and plants begin putting on new growth, it’s an ideal opportunity to tidy garden beds, improve your soil, refresh your mulch and start planning new landscaping projects. At Scenic Rim Landscape Supplies, we have plants and the landscaping materials you need to make the most of the growing season.
Prepare Your Garden Beds
After winter, garden beds can often look tired and compacted. Start by removing weeds, old plant material and any debris that has built up over the cooler months. Turning over or improving the soil can help create a healthier growing environment for new plants.
Adding quality soil or garden mix can improve drainage, structure and nutrient availability, giving plants a better foundation for the season ahead. Consider using a soil improver such as Rocky Point ActivGrow, Blood and Bone or Gypsum.
Add Fertiliser
Rising soil temperatures in spring encourage new growth spurts in plants, increasing their need for nutrients. This makes spring the ideal time to fertilise most of your plants. We stock a range of fertilisers from Searles, Rocky Point and Osmocote, including Activ Grow, Optilawn, Native Food, SeaMax and Recharge. We also stock blood and bone and urea.
Refresh Your Mulch
Spring is an excellent time to top up your garden mulch. A good layer of mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds and protect plant roots from summer temperatures.
Mulch can also give your garden a neat, finished appearance while reducing the amount of ongoing maintenance required.
Create New Garden Areas
If you’ve been thinking about adding a new garden bed, pathway or landscaped area, spring is a great time to get started. Whether you’re creating a small garden at home or undertaking a larger landscaping project, choosing the right materials will make a big difference to the finished result.
Consider incorporating decorative gravel, stone, soil, sand or other landscaping materials to create practical and attractive outdoor spaces.
Plan Ahead for Summer
The work you do in spring can help your garden cope with the hotter months ahead. Improving soil, adding mulch and establishing plants early can help improve moisture retention and reduce the stress caused by summer heat.
