Red Lava: This unique, deeply red colored stone , is fairly rounded in shape. The nominal size range is from 3/4"-1 1/2". Although Red Lava is more expensive per ton than other types of stone, its cost is off set somewhat by its very light weight. You can expect to get about three times more coverage with Red lava over standard stone. The many small holes that occur in each piece of Red Lava make it ideal for retaining moisture, and for reducing evaporation of moisture in topsoil. This makes it ideal for use around shrubs, flowers, and other decorative plants. Studies show that Red Lava is more effective in retaining moisture than wood mulch products. This means that during periods of drought Red Lava can prevent many types of , often expensive plants, from expiring. Red Lava’s water retention capabilities will also aid in stimulating increased growth on new plantings. |
