Deco-Pak, the family-run aggregate experts, is gearing up for a landmark 2026 season with a series of exciting new launches that promise to strengthen its garden retail offering like never before. With innovation and exclusivity at the heart of the line-up, Deco-Pak is giving garden centres and allied retailers fresh tools to inspire customers, drive impulse sales, and increase profitability.
Gravel Glue – set to shake up garden retail
Taking the lead focus for 2026 is Gravel Glue, a brand-new venture for Deco-Pak and the garden retail market. Designed to simplify aggregate stabilisation for the consumer, Gravel Glue prevents gravel migration, reduces maintenance, and makes paths, driveways and garden features easier to manage.
Retail-ready packaging has been developed with the garden centre shopper in mind. Available in a spray bottle and a 5L container (offering coverage up to 10m²), Gravel Glue is set to capture the imagination of the growing number of consumers turning to their local garden centre for accessible DIY solutions, as well as those shopping the houseplant and interior categories.
Furthermore, Gravel Glue is an even more compelling option for retailers when you consider its incredibly low replenishment requirement. It can be ordered in small quantities of just 12 units or simply added onto a standard Deco-Pak order, making stocking and trialling straightforward and cost-effective.
Optimising houseplant sales
It’s not just the all-new Gravel Glue that will help Deco-Pak extend its influence into the houseplant and interiors market. The launch of compact, 650ml ‘shaker-style’ pot toppers in Frost White, Midnight Grey, Mountain Mist and Amber Gold, is set to boost average basket spend. Eye-catching on the shelf and easy to use, these packs are tailored to the thriving indoor houseplant trend, encouraging impulse add-on sales. Beyond aesthetics, they enable customers to personalise their displays while delivering practical benefits such as reducing water evaporation and suppressing weeds.
Signature natural stone exclusives
Deco-Pak’s Signature Monoliths collection will make a bold statement in 2026, with hand-selected Mediterranean Monoliths offering sculptural focal points for premium garden design. These exclusive natural stone sculptures, positioned as premium statement pieces at an accessible, pick-up-and-go price point, are set to provide retailers with a valuable opportunity to trade customers up.”
Also joining the Signature line-up are Grande Cobbles in timeless white and Mediterranean shades. Supplied in netted grab bags, they’re easy to merchandise and are ideal for impulse sales.
What’s more, as has become synonymous with Deco-Pak’s Signature range, these latest additions will benefit from the same in-store retail theatre treatment. This approach is proven to elevate products into aspirational, must-have purchases that capture attention, spark inspiration and drive sales once seen. While such theatre space is undoubtedly valuable retail real estate, its ability to transform customer engagement and deliver incremental sales is almost invaluable, creating an immersive shopping experience that makes the products impossible to ignore.
Porcelain Hexagon Tiles
Adding to the innovation for 2026 are Porcelain Hexagon Tiles (600mm Ø) in three contemporary finishes – Santorini Sand, Aegean Grey and Olympus Charcoal. Lightweight, stain-resistant and non-slip, they’re low-maintenance and offer foolproof installation, making them a highly attractive option for both weekend DIYers and landscapers.
Chelsea horticultural range refresh
Deco-Pak is refreshing its popular Chelsea horticultural range for 2026 with the launch of Chelsea Multi-Purpose Compost — a thoughtful extension to the collection rather than a move to compete with major compost producers. This premium blend can be added to any Deco-Pak order in single-pallet quantities, allowing retailers to trial it with confidence and experience the results first-hand. While premium in quality, Chelsea Multi-Purpose Compost remains competitively priced, offering an accessible, great-value option. Retailers are encouraged to order a single pallet - or even just one bag - to appreciate the quality and presentation for themselves.
Chelsea Multi-Purpose Compost is a carefully formulated peat-based mix, designed to deliver exceptional growing performance at outstanding value. Deco-Pak has been open about its choice to use peat, recognising both the industry-wide commitment to reducing reliance on it and the challenges posed by some peat-free alternatives. While supporting the direction of travel towards lower peat use, the company has prioritised product quality, ensuring gardeners have access to a reliable compost that truly performs. At the same time, Deco-Pak believes it is important to acknowledge that not all substitutes are without environmental or economic drawbacks, and that a balanced, responsible approach is required.
Presented with the distinctive Chelsea branding and premium packaging that characterises the range, Chelsea Compost is designed to catch the eye in-store and inspire purchase. It provides retailers with an easy-to-trial option that supports meaningful gardening activity all year round, while adding further strength and credibility to the Chelsea portfolio.
A focus on functionality and trends
Craig Hall, Director at Deco-Pak, said: “We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring to market products that fill gaps in existing availability. There’s been a lot of research and trials before settling on these additions – it’s all about functionality and tapping into trends. For 2026, we’re proud to offer garden centres and retailers a collection of exclusive, inspiring products that are designed to perform on the shop floor as well as in the garden.”
