FAQ

What is the advantage of Black Lava Rock?

It offers the moisture-retaining benefits of volcanic rock with a modern, subdued black color that doesn't demand as much attention as red lava rock.

Is it suitable for fire pits?

Lava rock is often used in gas fire pits because it can withstand high heat. However, verify with us if our current stock is rated for high-heat direct fire use.

How much do I need?

Because it is so light (low density), one ton of lava rock covers much more area than one ton of heavy limestone. Our calculator adjusts for this automatically.
