Landscaping at Hilltop Garden Centre

With our fantastic range of landscaping, we'll have your garden will look good in no time! Whether you're looking for aggregates, chemicals, compost, or paving slabs, we have it all and more!

When choosing which aggregate will suit your garden best, we know how overwhelming it can be to choose what will work best. What colour will go with your paving slabs? What size should you choose? Different types of garden stones have different uses in landscape design:

Gravel is very popular due to its range of size, colour, and texture. Gravel stones are also easy to maintain and naturally suppress weeds.

Slate chippings are typically more environmentally friendly than other garden stones. This is because they are flat and comfortable to walk on in the garden. They also enhance rockeries, ponds, borders, and driveways.

Cobbles and pebbles differ from gravel because they’re often larger and have a smoother, rounded finish. This makes them perfect for creating a more designer-like feel in your garden.

Large garden stones and feature stones are great for creating a focal point in your garden. They are also perfect for decorating shaded areas where new plant life may be difficult to grow.

Don’t forget to add weed control when adding aggregates to your garden! We supply ground covers so that you can keep those pesky weeds at bay.

We have a substantial range of aggregates available throughout the year. If you want to upgrade the look of your garden or get some landscaping ideas, speak to our team today.

We have a range of Westland lawn care products to help your lawn thrive all year round, including Lawn Sand, Lawn and turf Dressing, Topsoil, and more. The ideal time to apply your lawn fertiliser is between March and October when your lawn will be actively growing. Ensure that you apply fertiliser after mowing so that it has ample time to soak.

We stock many garden chemicals to make garden maintenance easy. Throughout the year, we stock various weed killers so that your beautiful plants can flourish all year round. The ideal time to use weed killer is when the weeds are actively growing in dry weather between the spring and autumn.

No one enjoys the thought of mice or wasps in or around their home. So, we ensure that we stock various indoor and outdoor pest control products! Early spring is the ideal time to use pest control on insects.

Colony numbers are quite low at this time, allowing you to rid yourself of nests with less hassle. Carry out quarterly pest control to protect your home from mice and other rodents.

We have a dedicated team for all of our garden chemicals. So, if you’re looking for something particular, speak to us upon your next visit – we’re happy to help!

If you’re creating the garden of your dreams, it’s important to use more than the soil from your garden. Compost has essential nutrients such as fertiliser and other minerals to help plants thrive. It also assists in filtering rainwater to prevent flooding and supports your plants in staying upright, providing physical structure.

If you want to add various plants to your garden, multipurpose/universal compost is a great choice. It comes with different feed levels to give your plants the best start in your garden.

We recommend using ericaceous compost to support their vibrant colours if you have plant azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons. If you want to include edible shrubs like blueberries or raspberries, ericaceous compost is also a great option. These shrubs thrive in acidic conditions, making ericaceous compost ideal.

If you’re looking to plant trees or shrubs, they typically thrive with fertile, well-drained soil. We have plenty of compost choices available that will encourage strong roots and healthy growth.

We have plenty of fruit and vegetable plants throughout the year for those looking to create an edible garden. While you can use multi-purpose soil, we recommend organic vegetable compost, which includes lots of organic matter.

Not only do you need the correct compost for your plants, but we also recommend the inclusion of fertilisers. This will help improve your plant's growth. Many composts already include fertilisers. However, adding that extra will produce a showy display of flowers and a large yield of edible crops.

Throughout the year, we may stock:

• - Westland’s Ericaceous planting and potting compost

Due to their durability, adding paving slabs to your garden is always a fantastic choice. They last for many years and can add value to your property. Paving slabs can also transform a garden space, such as the front yard, or create an entrance to a garden building. They will also suppress weeds, making your garden look neat and tidy.

We offer a wide variety of paving slabs, stepping stones, edgings, and much more to create a unique outdoor space for your home. These include paving kits, natural stone, reconstituted stone, and circle or octagon features in various styles and price ranges. Paving slabs are ideal for landscaping, so consider choosing them for your next garden design.
