3 Smart Landscaping Solutions to Upgrade Your Backyard This Summer

Summer in Australia is all about soaking up the sun, spending time outdoors, and making the most of your backyard. Whether you’re entertaining mates, creating a low-maintenance garden, or giving your patio a refresh, Strol has practical, good-looking solutions to help you enjoy the season – with less effort and more style.

Here are three of our top summer-ready products to upgrade your landscape – sustainably and simply.

1. Permeable Paving: Cool, Clean, and Clever

Hot concrete, puddles, and slippery tiles? No thanks. Strol Permeable Paving system is the smarter way to create paths, patios, and pool surrounds that work with nature – not against it.

Designed to let water drain straight through, our pavers reduce runoff and help keep surfaces cooler underfoot. Perfect for those scorching summer days when bare feet are the norm.

Why it’s a summer essential:

1. Promotes natural drainage – less pooling, less mess
2. Great for gravel, pebbles, or grass – no more shifting or spreading
3. DIY-friendly with a clean, pro-level finish
4. Sustainable landscaping made simple

Whether you’re revamping your garden path or building a new entertainment zone, Permeable Paving keeps it functional, fresh, and future-ready.

2. Landscape Pro: Your Garden’s Best Mate

Dreaming of a low-maintenance, high-impact garden this summer? Landscape Pro is your go-to underlay for healthy, weed-free landscapes. It’s a heavy-duty, professional-grade geotextile that keeps weeds at bay while allowing air and water to flow through – giving your plants what they need without letting weeds take over. Use it under garden beds, paving, decorative stones, or mulch for a neater, more manageable outdoor space.

Why it’s a smart summer choice:

1. Blocks weeds without harsh chemicals
2. Keeps soil healthy with excellent drainage and airflow
3. Strong, UV-stabilised, and long-lasting
4. Easy to roll out and install

Whether you’re refreshing your front yard or building a new veggie patch, Landscape Pro helps you do it right the first time.

3. SureFlex: Protect Your Lawn from Wear and Tear

Got high‑traffic grass areas? SureFlex Grass Protection is the solution that helps your lawn stay lush and strong, even in spots that usually suffer from foot traffic, vehicles, or activity zones.

SureFlex is a three‑dimensional polymer mesh that reinforces grass, boosts slip resistance and helps distribute loads more evenly – which makes lawn areas more trafficable without turning into mud or ruts.

Why it’s perfect for summer lawns:

1. Protects grass from wear – foot traffic, kids’ play, furniture, and vehicles
2. Improves traction and prevents rutting
3. Easy to roll out over existing grass and pin in place
4. Can be used temporarily or permanently for high‑use areas

Whether you’re hosting backyard cricket games, creating overflow parking on lawn, or just want your grass to look great all summer long, SureFlex has you covered.
