  1. We used lava rocks in our rock garden on the side of our home. We love the color as it compliments the brick accents on the front of our home. We didn't tamper it down, as we wanted the larger pieces, and it looks great.

  2. Cheapest ugliest rocks you can buy, they only last maybe 3 months and start to look really ugly.

  3. I thought "Lava" rock is actually SLAG for the processing of steel. We have, OK had, more steel mills in the US than volcano's.

  4. lol give it 2 weeks that will turn into a weed bed. Im not sure what kind of expert you are but for sure not landscaping.

  5. Granite forms from the slow cooling of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface. … Erupted granitic rocks are very fine-grained, and often contain the radioactive elements distributed within very fine volcanic glass particles. Granite, rhyolite, and tuff all have similar radioactive element contents.Jul 28, 2009

  6. Basics? You must be kidding. This video makes "basic" look like brain surgery. This is well before "basics".

  7. For myself, I would dig out all the weeds, compact the ground, add sand and compact ground again, then a weed fabric, and past rocks. Guaranteed you’ll never see a weed again.

  8. LAVA ROCK LOOKS GREAT FOR ABOUT 1 DAY….AND THEN ALL IT'S MOISTURE DRIES OUT AND IT TURNS PINK! NOT COOL!

  9. Disappointing, I thought it was going to be about the bigger lava rock boulders and making natural landscape design.
