Scoria — Volcanic Rock
Lightweight, porous 20mm volcanic stone for drainage and gardens
Scoria Volcanic Rock for Landscaping
Scoria is a unique volcanic rock that stands apart from traditional pebbles. This lightweight, porous stone features a distinctive honeycomb texture and rich reddish-brown to dark maroon colour. Its natural volcanic origin makes it one of the most functional and visually striking landscaping stones available in Brisbane, Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Northern NSW.
Available in 20mm, Scoria's key advantage is its exceptional drainage capability. The porous structure allows water to flow freely, making it the go-to choice for drainage-critical applications, garden beds prone to waterlogging, and as a superior mulch alternative that won't decompose.
Being significantly lighter than solid stone pebbles, Scoria is easier to handle and spread, places less load on elevated garden beds and structures, and covers more area per tonne — delivering outstanding value for large landscaping projects.

Use Scoria as a permanent mulch replacement in garden beds — it suppresses weeds, retains soil moisture, and never needs replacing. Unlike bark mulch, it won't float away in heavy Queensland rain or attract termites.
Create a stunning succulent and cactus garden using Scoria as the ground cover. The porous structure provides the sharp drainage these plants need, while the reddish tones complement the natural colours of succulents beautifully.
Combine with Charcoal Black for a dramatic dark-toned landscape, or use alongside Sandstone Crush for a warm, textural contrast.
