Product Information

Granite Products
Excavated from the ground. Light Brown in colour. Solid, heavier rocks. If not crushed by a machine, the stones are more or less round. Only breaks are from stones hitting stones and breaking. Even if crushed by a machine, only fractured on one side, ie. like a half moon.

Limestone Products
Blasted from a rock face. Light Grey / White in colour. Porous stones, lighter weight. Fractured on two sides, ie. flat on two sides similar to a brick.

"Crushed"
Stones that are fractured or flattened on one or two sides.

Good for around pools, and under decks. 100% automatic compaction in an enclosed area.
