FAQ
Why choose Lava Rock?
It is extremely lightweight and porous, meaning it holds moisture for plants better than standard stone. Its bold red color makes a dramatic statement.
Does it blow away?
While lighter than granite or limestone, it is still heavier than wood mulch and typically stays in place during wind, though not as firmly as river rock.
Is it good for weed control?
Yes, when installed over landscape fabric. Its porous nature can trap some dirt over time, so occasional maintenance is required to keep it weed-free.
