🌿 Sustainability at ID Garden & Landscape Centre

At ID Garden & Landscape Centre, we believe good landscaping shouldn’t cost the earth.

As a local, family-owned business in Eltham, we’re committed to doing things the right way — sourcing smarter, cutting waste, and offering materials that work for your garden and the planet.

♻️ Recycled Where It Counts: Our Partnership with Repurpose It

We’ve teamed up with the legends at Repurpose It — a Victorian company turning construction and green waste into top-notch landscaping materials.

Repurpose It transforms everything from soil and mulch to crushed rock and screenings, breathing new life into materials that would otherwise go to landfill. The result? Reliable, eco-friendly products that don’t compromise quality.

If you’ve bought mulch, soil, compost or drainage stone from us, chances are it’s come through Repurpose It — and we’re proud of that.

🌱 Smarter Choices for Greener Gardens

We stock a range of sustainable products to help you build gardens that are better for people, pets, and the planet:

✅ Mulch That’s Recycled and Local

• Reground Bush Mulch and Arborist Mulch are made from green waste, right here in Victoria. They’re rough-cut, long-lasting, and help with water retention and weed suppression.

✅ Compost and Soil Blends with Purpose

• Our Diggers Compost, Garden Blend Soil, and Lawn Blend are rich in organic matter, designed to feed your plants and cut down your need for chemical fertilisers.

✅ Crushed Rock and Screenings That Close the Loop

• Products like 20mm Crushed Rock, Scoria, and 1/4"-Screenings are made using recycled construction materials — great for paths, driveways, drainage, and the environment.

🧱 Innovative Reinforcement with Durabar™

·      We're proud to partner with Madewell Products, an Australian-owned supplier of premium, innovative products for the concrete construction industry. Through this collaboration, we offer Durabar™, a cutting-edge Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar developed by Dextra Group. Durabar™ is a corrosion-free alternative to traditional steel reinforcement, boasting twice the tensile strength while being four times lighter. Its non-conductive and non-magnetic properties make it ideal for a variety of applications, from residential landscaping to infrastructure projects. By choosing Durabar™, you're investing in a sustainable, durable solution that aligns with our commitment to providing eco-friendly and locally sourced products.

🇦🇺 Australian-Made and Local First

Where possible, we stock Australian-made and locally sourced products. That includes:

• Cement, concrete mix, and lime from local suppliers
• Toppings like Honey Granite and Basalt Rock, quarried right here in Victoria
• Recycled materials made within 40km of our store

Why? Because supporting local suppliers means fewer transport emissions and more support for our community.

🔄 Minimising Waste at Our Yard

We don’t just sell sustainable products — we’ve also looked at how we run our business:

• Sell bulk materials by volume when possible to reduce unnecessary packaging
• Reuse pallets and product wrapping where we can
• Plan delivery runs efficiently to save on fuel

It’s not always perfect, but we’re always improving.
