Garden & Landscaping Supplies Delivered to Sunshine 3020

Bulk materials delivered across Sunshine

Sunshine was laid out around a farm-machinery works, and the street pattern still shows it: generous post-war blocks, wide roads built for trucks, and a belt of old industrial land along the rail line. Those big blocks are the story now, because a great many of them are being split into two, and every one of those splits needs a garden built from nothing.

It is a Zone 1 postcode close to the yard, so we run it seven days a week and an order placed before 3pm is usually delivered the next day.

Soil & site conditions

This is the western basalt plain at its flattest. The ground is a grey-brown clay that turns greasy after a wet week and cracks open by late summer, with bluestone floaters near the surface in places — enough to stop a shovel and to matter when you are digging footings for a wall. On an established block there is usually a workable topsoil layer over it. On the rear half of a freshly subdivided lot there is not: excavators, a new slab and a season of traffic leave compacted subsoil, and the honest fix is to import depth rather than try to rehabilitate it.

Truck access in Sunshine

Access in Sunshine is about as good as it gets in the inner west — wide streets, generous driveways and room to tip without blocking traffic, which is a genuine relief after Footscray. The standard requirements still hold: about 3.5 m clear to the drop, firm level ground for the tray and nothing low overhead. The one caution is the subdivided blocks. Rear units are reached down a shared driveway that is usually too narrow for a truck, so the load lands at the front and gets barrowed, and a new concrete drive should not be tracked over with a full tipper.
