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.
The size varies depending on use.
| SIZE | EXAMPLE OF USE |
| 75 – 150mm | Drainage |
| 150-450mm | Man Handleable Garden Edges |
| 600 – 1500mm | Wall Construction |
| 1 – 1.5m | Feature Rocks |
| 1 – 2m rocks | Large Rock Wall |
Advantages of Granite rock for retaining walls are:
- more attractive to the eye
- Wide range of colours (creates natural aesthetic appeal)
- Weathers well
- solid and doesn’t move
- pest attack resistant
- Blend in with surroundings, as they weather over time
- Permanent solution to any retaining requirement
Construction
Approach to granite wall construction
Range Rock Supplies take pride in building rock walls. If you are interested in any of our rock products or wall construction one of our experienced members will come out to the job site and carryout a site inspection. During this inspection we will be able to give you advice on preparation and construction of the rock wall. We strive to deliver a quality end result. To enable this to happen we make sure we have good preparation in regards to foundation, drainage and construction. Rocks are expertly placed to give maximum appearance as well as strength. The site is always left clean and tidy.
We can also organise complete service for garden structure including turf etc.
