Chris Bourne AIBM, Sales & Marketing Director at Azpects, discusses demand in the landscaping sector with PBM, focusing on the supplier’s latest product launch and the support available for merchant stockists.
The specialist behind some of the UK’s most trusted hard landscaping innovations, Azpects has now revealed its latest product launch — EASYScape Gravel Hold, a new multipurpose binder developed to lock loose decorative stones, gravel, bark and mulch securely in place. This ready-to-use, water-based solution is said to “represent a significant step forward in creating visually striking, low-maintenance outdoor areas.”
Chris Bourne AIBM, Sales & Marketing Director at Azpects, explained: “Having worked in the landscaping sector for over 25 years and supported countless product launches, I’m genuinely excited about the introduction of EASYScape Gravel Hold. As the trend toward low-maintenance, decorative outdoor solutions continues to grow, especially in domestic and small-scale landscaping, this product launch arrives at the perfect time.
“The intuitive water-based resin binder allows customers to fix their decorative gravels and mulches in place with a simple installation process and will make the weekly gardening chore easy, keeping gravel and mulches stabilised in gardens without the ongoing hassle of displacement or topping up.”
Chris continued: “And for builders’ merchants, this represents a strong add-on sale for gravel and bark ranges, as well as an opportunity to meet growing consumer interest in practical garden products. We’re confident that EASYScape Gravel Hold will become a staple of the Azpects range and a valuable addition to merchant shelves across the UK.”
EASYScape Gravel Hold is “designed for simplicity, versatility and effectiveness.” The formula is non-hazardous and easy to apply with the product able to be poured, sprayed or mixed directly with stones to suit a range of project sizes and site conditions. Furthermore, it creates a subtle protective sheen while allowing water to drain naturally through the surface, ensuring long-term performance without compromising permeability.
Suitable for both new and existing installations, EASYScape Gravel Hold binds a variety of loose materials, including gravel and pebbles ranging from 4mm to 20mm in diameter, as well as bark and rubber mulch. It delivers a clean, finished appearance while helping to reduce material movement caused by wind, rain, or light disturbance.
Once dried, the treated area remains stable and attractive, improving usability without the need for frequent maintenance.
Azpects recommends applying the product to clean, dry aggregate in favourable weather conditions. For areas requiring added strength, the mixing method provides a more durable finish, particularly in spaces where light foot traffic may be expected.
Application is also said to be straightforward and flexible — users can choose to pour from a watering can, spray with a garden sprayer, or mix and spread for a stronger bond. With proper use, each 5-litre container of EASYScape Gravel Hold can cover up to 12 square metres, depending on the method and surface.
To support the launch, Azpects is rolling out a coordinated marketing campaign including impactful point-of-sale displays, literature and training support. Its dedicated sales and marketing team is working closely with merchant partners to ensure strong visibility across branch environments and trade channels, with targeted promotional activity also planned across social media and print to drive sales.
