🤔 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Does lava rock blow away in the wind?
No—despite being light, its porous texture helps it settle and stay in place. It’s also heavier than mulch and doesn’t break down, unless there is high foot traffic.
❓ Can I use it near a fire pit?
Yes! Lava rock is fire-safe, making it ideal around fire pits. Just ensure it’s dry before use to prevent steam pops.
❓ Does it fade or break down?
Not at all. Lava rock is volcanic stone and retains its structure and colour for many years.
❓Can I use lava rock to replace my existing wood mulch for fire hazard insurance reasons?
Absolutely, the insurance companies these days are charging a premium to homeowners who have wood mulch too close to their homes, stating that it is a high-risk fire hazard. Lava rock can be used to replace the wood mulch and satisfy the insurance companies.
