Decorative Aggregate - Lava Rock

Decorative aggregate with a lava rock attribute is a lightweight, porous material formed from volcanic rock. Its unique texture and natural appearance make it a popular choice for landscaping and architectural projects. Lava rock is produced by crushing and screening volcanic stone, resulting in irregularly shaped pieces with a rugged, eye-catching look.

The porous nature of lava rock provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for use in garden beds, around trees, and in xeriscaping applications. It helps retain soil moisture while preventing weed growth, and its lightweight composition makes it easy to handle and spread. Common uses include residential and commercial landscaping, decorative ground cover, pathways, and as a mulch alternative. While lava rock is not suitable for high-traffic surfaces due to its rough texture, it excels in decorative and low-maintenance settings, offering long-lasting color and minimal upkeep.
