🌱 Our Lawn Blend vs Garden Blend Soil: Which One’s Best for Your Project?

If you're starting a new garden or giving your lawn a fresh boost, the right soil is everything. At ID Garden & Landscape Centre in Eltham, we stock two premium blends that each serve a specific purpose — but which one is right for you?

Let’s break it down:

🌿 Garden Blend Soil

Best for: general garden beds, veggie patches, shrubs & perennials

Our Garden Blend Soil is a rich, loamy mix full of organic matter and nutrients to help all types of plants thrive. It’s designed to:

•               Hold moisture while draining well

•               Feed plants with slow-release organic nutrients

•               Create a friable structure that encourages strong root growth

Perfect for:

•               Flower beds and border gardens

•               Native and ornamental shrubs

•               Home veggie patches or fruit trees

👉 Bonus: It’s ready to use straight out of the bag or truck – no need to mix or condition.

 

🌾 Lawn Blend Soil

Best for: establishing new turf, top dressing, or lawn repairs

Our Lawn Blend Soil has been specially formulated for grass to thrive. It’s a fine-textured, sandy loam mix that allows for:

·      Excellent drainage (prevents soggy lawn roots)

·      Easy levelling for a smooth turf base

·      Strong root establishment in both warm and cool seasons

Use it for:

·      Laying new roll-out turf

·      Repairing patchy or uneven lawns

·      Top dressing to improve thickness and health

👉 It also makes mowing easier thanks to its level finish and low compaction.
