Scoria

Scoria is a dark-coloured volcanic rock that comes in a range of sizes. It is produced by volcanic activity, and is formed when lava cools quickly. It can be formed within the volcanic pipe of a volcano, or can be ejected out into the surrounding area following an eruption.

Scoria has a high surface area and is strong comparative to its weight, giving it an incredible range of handy uses in the home and garden. Unlike pumice, scoria is more dense, and typically sinks in water. This means it is great for drainage, being porous and lightweight. For these reasons, it is one of our most popular landscaping materials.

Want to learn more about scoria? A world of garden knowledge awaits you at All Green. Our landscaping experts can give you deep insights into the properties and applications of scoria around your home and garden.

Scoria has a huge range of uses in the home and job site. Some popular uses include:

• Creating landscaping pathways around the lawn, garden, and BBQ areas
• Providing drainage for potted plants, garden trees, and beneath pipes
• Decorating garden beds to create a strong black contrast
• Giving hydroponic plants a solid substrate upon which to grow
• Heating saunas and creating heat sinks in BBQ pits and grills
• Insulating components from high temperatures
• Limiting mud issues for trucks in wet areas
