HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Building your dream yard with Parklea Sand & Soil
When it comes to home improvement, the transformative power of a welldesigned outdoor space cannot be overstated. Whether you are envisioning a lush green lawn, a rustic pebble path or a solid foundation for paving, the success of your vision lies in the quality of your materials. For residents in the Hawkesbury region, Parklea Sand & Soil is the trusted partner for turning these backyard dreams into reality.
A true local success story, this familyowned business has roots dating back to 1966. Operating from their massive purpose-built yard in South Windsor, the team maintains a hands-on approach to ensure every customer receives expert advice.
For the home improver, the range of products provides the perfect spark of inspiration. It starts with high-quality basics, such as their 80 / 20 Sandy Loam for turf underlay or the nutrientrich Premium Plus Garden Mix. If you are growing your own produce, their dedicated Veggie Mix is a favourite for boosting yields in home vegetable patches.
A beautiful garden is also about texture and finish. Parklea offers an impressive selection of decorative stones, including Cowra White and Gold pebbles, which can instantly modernise a garden bed. Furthermore, they champion sustainability with eco-friendly mulches like Cypress Pine which naturally deters termites while retaining soil moisture.
One of the biggest hurdles in home improvement is logistics, but Parklea Sand & Soil makes this seamless. Their fleet ranges from small tippers for tight driveways to large trucks for bulk orders. With handy online tools like their quantity calculator, you can easily take the guesswork out of ordering.
Renovating your home’ s exterior is an investment in lifestyle. Visit the superstore at 729 George Street, South Windsor, or explore their range online- www. parkleasandsoil. com. au- to start building your outdoor sanctuary today.
Fire season from hell
Scorching hot weather and erratic winds are the key ingredients for serious bushfire danger. One local company, Aussie Pumps, located at Norwest, has ramped up production of both Honda petrol and Yanmar diesel drive fire pumps.
The Aussie Fire Chief is regarded as the world’ s best lightweight, portable fire pump. Designed originally for Australian conditions, it’ s now a big seller in international markets that include Indonesia, the Mediterranean fire zone, Lebanon to Spain and even the USA and Canada.
“ The product is simply better than any other of it’ s kind in the world and comes with a five year warranty and a flat price of $ 880 including GST. They are available from Aussie Gold distributors throughout Hills to Hawkesbury.
The‘ Chief’ has a reputation for outperforming it’ s competitors and providing lower and more realistic pricing. We’ re not in the business of making money out of people in trouble”, said Aussie Pumps Chief Engineer, John Hales.“ We designed this pump to help people in times of danger and it does a mighty job”, he said.
