Business shaves

PUTTING what is essentially a by-product of a valuable resource to good use is what Yarra Valley Sawdust is all about.
The company, which has been operating in the Yarra Valley for more than 12 years and owned and operated by Derek and Lesley Logan for the past three years, provides sawdust and wood shavings to a range of clients from gardeners, farmers and equestrian establishments to builders of playgrounds and visiting circuses.
It’s a testament to the reliability and versatility of the company that it boasts many loyal customers throughout the Yarra Ranges region.
The sawdust and shavings are sourced from timber mills and, according to their type, are used in a wide variety of applications.
Sawdust and hardwood or softwood shavings are commonly used for horse arenas and stables, as soft-fall in playgrounds, to form pathways and to provide the traditional ground cover under the big top.
The company is a Healesville Greyhound Racecourse sponsor and provides sawdust for greyhound runs.
Specialising in arena surfaces, stable sawdust and equestrian requirements, the company supplies the many professional equestrian establishments in the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas.
Farmers are another major user of sawdust with chicken, pig and dairy farmers among an increasingly diverse range of breeders around the Yarra Valley using the product.
For the garden and professional growers, Yarra Valley Sawdust also provides wood chips, Euchey mulch and blended pine or hardwood mulches.
Aged sawdust, compost and poultry manure is also available.
Yarra Valley Sawdust delivers in bulk but they can also supply smaller quantities to suit individual requirements.
Having been in the industry for many years Yarra Valley Sawdust has established a reliable stable of suppliers which in turn ensures reliability to their customers.
Derek and Lesley are happy to provide advice on the various products and their suitability for different applications, as well as on quantities required and wish to thank their loyal customers for their patronage and look forward to a long and happy association.
