Our large 7-acre site houses everything from landscaping supplies to a boutique nursery. Burdett’s is a family owned business supplying local consumers and the Building & Construction industry for the last 40 years. During this period the business has grown dramatically. In the last 15 years we have complimented our sand supply business with a 7-acre site containing a Garden Supply Outlet, Hardwar
e Store and Complete Retail Nursery & Café. We have 2 Quarries where we mine sand & gravel and we also have a large network of Raw Material Suppliers to compliment our own. In today’s market we are one of Victoria’s largest re-sellers of Landscape and Quarry Products
We take an enormous amount of pride in our fleet, and are always updating vehicles to keep up with the latest technology. Our trucks have the latest European designs on emissions, which means we are doing our best for the environment. After the sale of our last sand quarry 50% of the land was set aside for ‘National Parks’ under the management of local and state Government. Over 70% of production from our mining operations goes to the Garden & Turf Industry for Recreation and Sports use, onsite water treatment areas, biofilter retention and rain gardens, with the balance being used throughout the Construction Industry. Burdett’s is conscious of its environmental footprint. We believe as a business we must try and offset the effect we have on the environment to ensure our future generations prosperity. In conjunction with Fytogreen, Burdett’s has helped give back to the environment by building vertical gardens in metropolitan areas across Australia. These gardens facilitate the offset of carbon emissions, while creating beautiful relaxation areas & habitats for natural wildlife in areas where they have been extensively diminished. We also recently completed the 65,000 tonne Altona Beach replenishment and were previously involved with the Mirvac Company in creating the beaches at Beacon Cove, Port Melbourne for their multi million dollar development.
