This guide shows you how to plan and build a garden retaining wall with the right foundation and drainage, including a council/engineering checklist, a step-by-step install process, and key safety tips.

This guide explains how to prep the area, lay landscape fabric, plant first, add edging/pavers, then spread river rock in a ~3cm layer carefully by hand for the best finish.

This guide explains the benefits of mulching, how to choose organic vs inorganic mulch, and how to apply it correctly by weeding first, laying 3–5cm in late spring, and keeping a few centimetres clear around plants.

This guide outlines five ways to stop grass and weeds invading garden beds: use landscape fabric, build a raised bed with a barrier layer, install edging, lay newspaper plus mulch before planting, and spot-treat invasions with herbicide.

This guide helps you choose the right fence for privacy, containment, or style by outlining key checks (property lines, local regulations, “Dial Before You Dig”) and comparing common options like timber, post-and-rail, Colorbond, chain link, welded wire, poultry netting, and electric fencing.

This guide walks you through seven steps to perfect paving: plan and measure the area, estimate materials, prep and excavate with correct fall for drainage, lay and compact road base plus 4cm bedding sand, lay pavers with ~3mm gaps, install edging restraints, then compact and sweep jointing sand to finish.
