About Granite Rock
Granite rock is one of the most beautiful and useful rocks this earth has formed. Granite can be used for retaining walls (rural & commercial), garden/water features, erosion control or even steps leading up to a house. Garden features use rock that are naturally shaped and set in aesthetically designed settings.
Granite is a hard durable rock. It is found in many different sizes and colours. Colours of cream, red/pink, fawn, dark grey and brown are what we offer from our supply base. Granite has a natural look with some rocks having lichen (moss) on them.
