MARTINS

What MARTINS does

Martins Building & Landscape Supplies Pty Ltd is a family-owned building and landscape materials supplier founded in 1970 and headquartered at 272/274 New Line Rd, Dural, NSW, Australia. The company operates as a one-stop-shop for construction and landscaping inputs, with a product portfolio spanning sand (Sydney Sand, Fill Sand, Yellow Bush, White Bush, Nepean Sand, Coarse Wash Sand), soils and mixes, mulches and barks, aggregates and decorative stones, building materials, fertiliser, hardware and tools, and landscape supplies. Complementing the product range, Martins offers material delivery via an owned fleet capable of 1-ton bulk bags, 1-12 ton rigid trucks, and truck-and-dog loads up to 32 tons, alongside project estimation and specification advice, an online quantity calculator, and a metal recycling service.

The business serves four primary customer segments: builders and construction professionals, landscapers, DIY homeowners, and government or civil project buyers. The go-to-market is hybrid — a physical storefront at the Dural location combined with a Shopify-powered e-commerce platform supporting online ordering, multi-payment checkout (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, UnionPay), and a request-a-quote workflow for large orders. Delivery is scheduled within 2-4 hour windows, with most orders fulfilled within 24-48 hours.

Revenue is generated through one-time, transaction-based sales with unit pricing per product and volume quotations for large orders; there is no subscription or recurring revenue model. The customer base is entirely domestic, with operations confined to the Sydney metropolitan area and Hills District. The company is privately held, with ownership concentrated within the founding family, and has no institutional investors, M&A activity, or external funding rounds. Tailwinds in the Sydney construction and landscaping sectors underpin volumes, but the business remains a single-site, local operator with limited geographic reach and no disclosed AI, proprietary technology, or differentiated software stack beyond standard Shopify tooling.

Regional players

• Centenary Landscaping Supplies: Specialist landscaping supplies retailer focused on soil, mulch, sand, and aggregates in Southeast Queensland. Highly comparable product mix and bulk-delivery model, but operates in a different geography than the Sydney-based Martins.
• Goodes Sand and Soil: Long-established Sydney-area sand, soil, and aggregate supplier with bulk delivery capability. Comparable product mix and delivery-led model, focused on the same Sydney metropolitan customer base as Martins.
• Hardrock Sand and Gravel: Western Sydney-based quarry and bulk materials supplier serving construction and landscaping customers. Comparable on aggregate and sand supply with similar delivery-to-jobsite capabilities in the broader Sydney market.

Direct peers

• Australian Native Landscapes (ANL): Australian landscaping supplies provider offering soil, mulch, sand, and aggregate delivery across multiple states. Directly comparable bulk materials catalog and delivery-led business model serving both trade and DIY landscaping customers.
• Sydney Soil & Stone: Sydney-based landscape and building materials supplier offering soil, sand, mulch, and aggregate delivery. A direct competitor in the same Sydney metro geography serving overlapping builder, landscaper, and DIY segments.

Broad incumbents

• Stratco: National manufacturer and retailer of building, roofing, and outdoor improvement products. Comparable as a broader incumbent selling building materials and outdoor products to builders and homeowners across Australia.
• Holcim Australia: Leading Australian supplier of aggregates, concrete, and construction materials. Comparable on the bulk aggregates and sand product lines, though operating at a national wholesale scale versus Martins' retail focus.
• Adbri Masonry: Major Australian manufacturer and supplier of masonry, concrete, and aggregate building products. Comparable on the building materials and aggregates side of Martins' catalog, operating upstream as a producer rather than retailer.
• Reece Limited: Australia's largest plumbing and bathroom products distributor with adjacent building supplies categories. Comparable as an established building products distributor serving trade professionals, though it is more specialized in plumbing than bulk materials.
• Bunnings Warehouse: Australia's largest home improvement and building supplies retailer with nationwide warehouse stores. Comparable as the dominant incumbent competing for the same Sydney DIY, builder, and landscaper customers across overlapping building materials, hardware, and garden categories.
