Deco-Pak: leading the way with innovation, sustainability, and unmatched supply capabilities

As the 2025 gardening season begins, Deco-Pak - a company now driven by the next generation of leadership, brothers Craig and David Hall - is stepping up to meet demand like never before. With high stock availability and a commitment to timely, responsive deliveries, Deco-Pak is reinforcing its position as the go-to decorative aggregate supplier for both existing customers and new garden retailers looking for a trusted partner.


As availability and reliability remain crucial to retail success, Deco-Pak is seeing a growing number of retailers returning after being let down by over-promises and under-delivery from other suppliers. This shift underscores the increasing need for a dependable supply partner – one that values long-term relationships and is committed to the success of the category. For those yet to place their peak-season aggregate order or looking to fill gaps in their range, the Deco-Pak team is ready to offer tailored support and ensure stock is ready for when it is needed most.
 
A season of innovation
Looking ahead, Deco-Pak is continuing to reinvent the decorative aggregate category by offering distinctive packaging, exciting product innovation, and solutions that enhance consumer confidence. Aggregates are no longer just a commodity - they are a way for gardeners to express creativity, enhance individuality, and achieve growing success.


Ranges that drive impulse purchases, inspire creative gardening, and offer standout margin opportunities include:
•    Chelsea Horticultural Range – offering grab bags and large bags for core gardening essentials such as potting grits, sharp sands, topsoil, and pot toppers. These products meet consumer demand for smaller, purposeful purchases, particularly during wet weather when gardeners still seek meaningful projects.
•    EcoStone Range – a major step in Deco-Pak’s sustainability journey towards net zero by 2040. This collection embodies the concept of “making treasure out of trash”, featuring recycled TV screens, rubber tyres, and whelk shells repurposed into garden-enhancing materials. Eco Stone offers solutions for pot topping, bedding, plant décor, and even natural slug repellents.
•    Signature Range – Deco-Pak’s premium decorative aggregate collection, which has continued to deliver exceptional sales performance following its revamp. Designed to elevate the category, this high-end range helps retailers capture the attention of consumers looking for a more stylish, aspirational garden aesthetic through the use of unique gravel and pebbles.
