Tan Lava Rock, 3/4" to 1.5"

Tan lava rock in a 3/4" to 1.5" size range is a lightweight, naturally porous aggregate formed from volcanic activity. Its unique tan coloration offers a warm, decorative appearance that stands out in landscaping and construction projects. The rock's irregular, airy structure makes it lighter than traditional stone, while still providing excellent durability.

The 3/4" to 1.5" size range is ideal for ground cover, garden beds, and pathways, as it resists compaction and allows for superior drainage. This makes it a popular choice for xeriscaping, erosion control, and around trees or shrubs where moisture retention and weed suppression are important. In commercial settings, tan lava rock is often used for decorative medians, rooftop gardens, and as a base for fire pits. Its lightweight nature makes installation easier, but it may shift under heavy foot traffic, so it's best suited for low-traffic areas. Overall, tan lava rock offers a blend of functionality and visual appeal for both residential and commercial landscapes.
