Top landscaping materials you’ll need this spring – In stock now at Youngs

It’s that time of year when the sun starts hanging around a bit longer. The ground’s not so boggy, and everyone’s out in the garden. They’re finally tackling those jobs they’ve been putting off since October.

Whether you're building a raised bed, replacing tired old fencing, or just tidying up the edges with gravel and bark, it all comes down to having the right gear.

At Youngs, we’ve stocked up on the landscaping essentials our customers use year after year. We have solid timber, decent aggregates, and all the fixings to go with them.

Here’s a quick run-through of what’s in stock this spring and ready to go.

Spring Landscaping Essentials

Sleepers – Solid, Long-Lasting, and Versatile

Our White Oak sleepers are built to last and look great too. They’re ideal for various applications:

• Raised beds

• Retaining walls

• Path edging

• Garden steps

• Rustic seating

  
  

We chose White Oak because it’s classed as very durable. Unlike cheaper Turkey Oak sleepers, our White Oak does not rot quickly. They may cost a little more, but they’ll go the distance.

If you're after a more budget-friendly option for lower-contact jobs, we also stock softwood sleepers (UC4 treated).

Fence Materials – Ready-Cut and In-House Made

Fencing is flying off the shelves at the moment. We’ve got everything you need to build featheredge panels. This includes our own in-house notched posts, which offer a quicker alternative to morticed posts.

These materials are available separately or in panel kits, including:

• UC4 notched posts (to suit 1800mm or 1950mm finished fence height)

• 38x86mm green treated rails

• 22x150mm UC4 gravel boards

• 2ex 22x100 featheredge boards

Need custom heights or extra components? Just ask! We’re happy to help you find the perfect solution.

Aggregates, Ballast & Decorative Stone

From mixing concrete to creating driveways and paths, we’ve got all the base materials covered:

• Ballast

• Sharp sand

• MOT Type 1

• 10 & 20mm shingle

• Building sand

  
  

Additionally, we stock decorative stone and chippings. These are perfect for giving your beds, borders, or seating areas a smart finish without the maintenance.

Bark, Soil & Membranes

Are you looking to cut down on weeding? Or perhaps you want to keep moisture in? You can also tidy your planting edges with these essentials:

• Landscape bark – great for mulching and adding decorative cover

• Topsoil – screened and ready for raised beds or turf prep

• Weed membrane – ideal under bark or gravel

  
  

These materials provide everything you need to prep, protect, and enhance your garden space.

Fixings, Tools & Advice – All in One Place

We keep all the extras in stock too: screws, nails, brackets, post mix, and tools to help you get the job done right. If you’re not sure what you need, just ask at the counter! We know our stuff and are always happy to discuss your project.
