Lava Rock
Palmer sells four sizes and types of volcanic stone: 1/4″ Minus Lava Sand, 3/8″ Lava Rock, 1/2″ to 1″ Lava Rock, 1/2″ to 1″ Black Lava Rock, and 1″ to 2-1/2″ Lava Rock. Lava Rock is typically a deep red, maroon, or black-colored pumice-like material. It is very light, weighing approximately 1,300 to 1,500 pounds per cubic yard. Alternatively, 1 ton equals approximately 1.33 to 1.53 cubic yards. Lava Rock is a permanent, lightweight, and easy-to-apply volcanic stone that won’t rot, blow away, or affect soil composition. Its natural beauty enhances floral and garden arrangements and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Lava Sand weighs about 0.9 tons per cubic yard and is a key ingredient in our Safeco Field Warning Track Cinders.

Our 3/8″ Lava Rock is an excellent option for a water-permeable decorative ground cover that retains moisture and esthetic contrasts to shrubs, trees, plants, and flowers in beds and walkways.

Our 1/2″ to 1″ Lava Rock, a deep maroon product, is the perfect mix of smaller to a bit larger chunks of vibrantly colored dark pumice. This product is an ideal material for moisture retention over the top of soils while not distracting from the horticultural elements in your garden.
