FAQs

Question 1

Can you put gravel around trees?

Accepted Answer

It is generally not advisable to put gravel around trees in Australia. This is because it can compact the soil underneath and negatively impact the health of the tree. Additionally, it can increase the soil temperature underneath the gravel and will not provide nutrients to the tree.

Question 2

Is sand good for garden soil?

Accepted Answer

This is highly dependent on the state of your soil. In some cases, adding sand is beneficial as it aerates the soil and helps with drainage. In some cases, however, the sand will clump together, such as when the soil has too much clay.

Question 3

When should you fertilise the lawn?

Accepted Answer

Fertilising your lawn will help maintain its lush appearance. It is recommended that the lawn is fertilised twice a year in Australia in autumn and spring to help it grow and survive the winter months.

Question 4

Can you lay artificial grass on soil?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, you cannot lay artificial grass on soil as this will make the grass appear uneven. A base must be uninstalled before putting artificial turf on the ground.
