Take Measure!

Get your measurements right before you start your project… You wouldn’t cook a roast without setting the oven to the right temperature.

It’s the same with landscaping tasks. You’ll end up with a much better result if you take care to measure things up. And you’ll save a bunch of time and money in the process!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Someone else may have asked the same question before. That’s why we’ve compiled some responses to our Frequently Asked Questions below.

Our Weighbridge

The perfect weight equals the right price.

Our weighbridge will tell you the exact weight of your loaded materials. Drive onto the weighbridge and we will know your vehicle (and trailer) weight before we load your order.

Once you are loaded, we can calculate the total and correct amount of product for your purchase.

We calibrate and maintain our weighbridge regularly to keep it accurate and problem-free.

How Far Does 1 Cubic Metre Go?

The coverage area of 1 cubic metre depends on the material you are going to use.   For example, 1 cubic meter of soil may cover approximately 10 square meters at a depth of 10 centimetre… but bulky mulch will have a lesser spread (Coverage) because it is a loose material.

GENERAL RULE:  1 cubic metre covers approximately 10sqm at 10cms
