Decorative Aggregate Lava Rock - 3/4" Size

Decorative aggregate in a 3/4" size, featuring natural lava rock, is a lightweight, porous material formed from volcanic processes. Its unique texture and deep, earthy tones make it a popular choice for both aesthetic and functional landscaping applications.

The 3/4" size strikes a balance between visual appeal and practical performance. This mid-range sizing ensures good coverage while allowing for excellent drainage, making it ideal for garden beds, pathways, and around trees or shrubs. Lava rock's porous nature helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, while its lightweight composition makes installation easier compared to denser stone. Common uses include residential landscaping, commercial planters, and decorative ground cover. While lava rock is not suitable for high-traffic surfaces due to its irregular shape and lightweight, it excels in low-maintenance, decorative settings where drainage and weed control are priorities.
