The right soil makes the difference between a garden that struggles and one that thrives — and different plants want different things. Here’s a plain guide to the garden and soil mixes we supply at Elite Sand & Soil.
Veggie Blend — for vegetable gardens & edibles
Veggie Blend is a premium soil mix for vegetable gardens, herb beds and edible landscapes — quality topsoil combined with composted organics and nutrients. It’s nutrient-rich, free-draining, and conditions the soil to promote healthy, productive crops.
Native Mix — for Australian natives
Native Mix is designed for Australian native and phosphorus-sensitive plants. It’s free-draining with low nutrient and phosphorus levels, replicating natural growing conditions and preventing nutrient burn.
Organic Garden Mix — for new beds & soil improvement
Organic Garden Mix blends sand with pasteurised organic compost for a rich, well-drained growing medium — ideal for new garden beds, planting shrubs and flowers, and rejuvenating tired soils. Clean and balanced, it’s safe for edible and ornamental plants alike.
Planter Box Mix — for raised beds & pots
Our Planter Box Mix is formulated for raised garden beds, planters and pots — a ready-to-plant growing medium.
Turf Underlay — for new lawns
Turf Underlay is a consistent sandy loam that compacts well while supporting new turf growth — perfect for new lawn installations and as a base under Kikuyu, Buffalo, Couch or Zoysia. For topdressing an established lawn, see our Elite Fertilised Top Dressing & 80/20 Blend.
