Tasmania’s gardens and landscapes are shaped by unique soils, a cool climate, and changing conditions. Choosing the right materials can make all the difference, whether you’re planting natives, building a new garden bed, or refreshing a commercial space. Here’s what to consider when selecting landscape supplies for your next project.


Locally Sourced Materials for Tasmanian Conditions

Using products that are made for local conditions is one of the best ways to set your garden up for success. Materials sourced from within Tasmania are more likely to suit the region’s soils and weather, and they also help reduce transport emissions. Supporting local suppliers means you’re investing in the community and getting products that are tried and tested for Tasmanian gardens. Whether you’re planting native species, building pathways, or establishing veggie gardens, locally sourced supplies can deliver consistent results.


Choosing the Right Potting Mix: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Identify your plants. Native species, acid-loving plants, and seedlings all have different requirements. There’s a blend for each.

  2. Check the ingredients. Look for composted bark, coco peat, and propagation sand, ideally sourced locally and enhanced with controlled-release fertilisers.

  3. Look for certification. Australian Standards and NIASA Certification are your assurance of quality and consistency.

  4. Consider your gardening style. Organic and eco-friendly options are available for those who want to garden sustainably.


The right potting mix in Hobart supports strong root development and vibrant plant growth, tailored for Tasmanian soil and climate.


Of course, a thriving garden or landscape relies on more than just the right mix for your pots and beds. Building up the overall health of your soil is just as important, no matter the size or style of your project. That’s where quality composts, conditioners, and manures come in...


Composts, Soil Conditioners and Organic Manures

Healthy soil is the foundation of any successful landscape. Improving soil isn’t just about adding nutrients - it’s about building structure, encouraging beneficial microbes, and supporting long-term growth.


Compost, biochar blends, and soil conditioners made from local materials can help rejuvenate tired soils, while organic manures such as cow, chicken, and mixed animal provide a natural boost for both veggie patches and ornamental beds. Many Tasmanian gardeners also look for certified organic options, knowing they’re making a sustainable choice for their patch.


Mulches for Moisture, Weed Control and Soil Protection

Mulching is one of the easiest ways to improve soil health while enhancing your garden’s appearance. There are plenty of options to choose from, including mulch Hobart - organic, colored, fine, coarse, and screened bark mulches.


Here are some of the main benefits:

  • Retains soil moisture and reduces watering needs

  • Suppresses weeds for easier maintenance

  • Regulates soil temperature to protect roots

  • Enriches soil as organic matter breaks down


Selecting a mulch that suits Hobart’s climate can help your garden beds and landscapes thrive throughout the year. You can check out our dedicated page on mulch supplies to see the range available.


Sands, Pebbles and Gravels: Practical and Decorative Solutions

Sands, pebbles, and gravels are more than just filler. Clean, screened sands from trusted Tasmanian quarries are ideal for garden beds, construction, and pathway preparation, as well as seed germination and propagation. Pebbles and gravels, including Tasmanian-sourced limestone, scoria, and river pebbles, are perfect for driveways, pathways, and decorative garden features. These materials are valued for their durability and visual appeal, and reliable delivery is available across Hobart.
