Canada Day parties, picnics, and barbeques are just around the corner! Now is the time to make sure your lawn, flowerbeds, and patio are ready to go and looking fantastic. Maybe completing a large landscaping project seems daunting, but often there are small changes you can make around your property that can make a huge difference in visual appeal. From small jobs to large, Greely Sand & Gravel is equipped with top quality products available in the exact quantity you need to complete your project this summer!
If you are looking for some quick and easy ways to spruce up your outdoor space this year, consider starting with a few of the following projects:
- Choose a few pots or planters to fill with soil and a colourful array of annuals.
- Top-up any mulched areas on your property with a fresh layer of new mulch.
- Use landscape edging to regain those crisp edges along your gardens, driveway, or patio.
- Plant a small garden box with a few luscious herbs and small vegetable plants.
- Revitalize your stone walkway with a new layer of pea stone to fill in any bare patches.
These are just a few of the simple DIY ways to improve the visual aesthetic of your property. Not sure where to start? Visit one of our three conveniently located landscape depots to pick up products in smaller quantities so you can get started today!
Our landscape depots are located at the following addresses:
- 1971 Old Prescott Road, Greely
- 3350 Moodie Drive, Barrhaven
- NEW: 405 Van Buren, Kemptville
Once you know how much material you need, you can come pick it up from one of these three locations! Our Greely location stocks the most products, while the Barrhaven and Kemptville locations offer all our best-sellers. Wondering what products are available at which locations? Give us a call at 613-821-3003 to make sure we have your desired products in stock and ready for you to pick up.
If you have an open-box pick up truck or a trailer, our experienced staff can load the product of your choice loose, into your vehicle. Generally, most trucks and trailers can hold one to two cubic yards, depending on the weight of the individual product. It is very helpful to our staff if you know the load capacity of your vehicle when you come to pick up your product!
Here's a video of how easy we can load your trailer
No truck or trailer? No problem! You can easily pick up enough soil for a few planters or pots, some sand to fill a small sandbox, or a bit of mulch to top-off a garden by bringing five-gallon pails or recycling bins, or use our durable 35L plastic bags, which you fill yourself. Don’t forget to bring your shovel!
We also offer pre-bagged products at our Greely and West End (Barrhaven) depots. The size of the bags varies but they are approximately the size of the bags you might pick up at the grocery store or in a garden center. These products include:
- Pine Bark Nuggets
- Highly Polished Black Pebbles
- Semi-Polished White Pebbles
- Stone Dust
- Crushed Stone
- Clear Stone
- Marco Portland Cement
- Polymeric Sand
When picking up your own products from any of our depots, safety is always our top priority. While we do our best to keep our depots clean and free from any hazards, there is always some level of risk when vehicles and heavy machinery are present. Please keep children in vehicles at all times and stay well clear of our loaders, whether you are in your vehicle or on foot. Always make eye contact with a loader operator or dump truck driver first, before approaching their vehicle for any reason. We are happy to be able to offer pick up service to our customers but it takes a team effort to ensure that everyone stays safe at all times!
