At Decorative Gardens, our high-quality garden sands and mulches have been designed and manufactured to work for horticultural purposes in the garden or home exterior. The excellent sands and grit sands stocked by us are perfect for everyday projects in your garden. Our garden sands and mulches can also provide a top dressing for your lawn, or even break up clay soils.
Undeniably, garden mulch has huge benefits for any gardener. Mulch works to prevent and reduce stronger weed growth, retain moisture, protect against soil erosion, and mulch looks attractive amongst your plant beds. Wood-based root or bark mulch enriches the soil whilst degrading. Using mulch in your garden will also look attractive whilst creating a habitat for micro-organisms.
Our garden sand is an ideal material for a Japanese-themed garden. With regular maintenance and care, the smooth qualities of the garden sand sold at Decorative Gardens will provide a beautiful landscape for manicured plants.

All about Garden Sands & Mulches
Our products have been specifically formulated for horticultural use. The horticultural sands and grit sands we supply can be used for various garden projects and jobs such as breaking up clay soils, top dressing for lawns.
As we gardeners know, British weather can often be problematic. It is difficult to forecast sunshine, rain, or wind in the timeframe of a day. Using garden mulch can offer a protective layer to shield against unpredictable weather conditions and extremes in temperature. Furthermore, different materials of sand and mulches available at Decorative Gardens give unique and attractive visual effects for your outdoor space.
At Decorative Gardens, we sell a range of bark-based mulches, such as Ornamental Bark Mulch, Bark Nuggets and SylvaBark Pine Bark Flakes. Shredded hardwood mulch ensures a tidy, covering surface for your garden. Wood works to cover any stray weeds and allows the soil in your garden to retain maximum moisture.
If you are looking for a softer, more graceful look for your outdoor space, why not opt for one of our garden sands? Sand mulches can work brilliantly as an environment to germinate weed seeds. Our lime-free RHS Horticultural Silver Sand is ideal for sowing seeds, rooting cuttings, and is specifically selected for horticultural use. This fine grade silver sand will, without doubt, provide a beautiful decorative effect for your garden.
When opting for a gravel or grit mulch from our wide range of garden mulches, it is recommended to lay at least two inches of material upon the garden surface. The unique dimensions and texture of our garden gravels and grit mulches help to fill any vacant space between garden plants. Our highly recommended professional washed gravel, RHS Horticultural Washed Gravel, is ideal for topdressing pots, ponds, water features, and rock gardens.
