Is there a landscaping project in your near future? If so, you’d be smart to begin planning it early. The last thing you want to do is to make a lot of progress only to realize you’ve made a big mistake somewhere that needs to be undone. Likewise, if you have to stop everything because you need certain landscaping supplies for your Toronto garden, that could become a bigger problem.
There are, of course, all kinds of supplies you could need for your landscaping purposes. Every job will mandate some recipe. Yours may require little more than shovels and topsoil, while others might need big machinery to move large amounts of earth.
Let’s talk about some basics though. There are some Toronto landscaping supplies that almost every project will call for. Topsoil is a good example. While Mother Nature makes plenty of her own, you may need more. Usually, about 6-12 inches of it are necessary to support healthy vegetation. These days, there are a number of brands that make topsoil, a combination of various ingredients. This vital soil holds onto nutrients, water and gases that benefit your plants.
Mulch is generally up there too. Mulch goes over topsoil in a much thinner layer of 2-3 inches. It can be made from wood chips, leaves, grass clippings and compost. However, it can also include things like shredded newspaper and tires too.
Many landscaping projects will involve some amount of decorative aggregate as well. Aside from looking nice, it can protect the mulch and topsoil below it and suppress weed growth.
