Description

A classic for your garden, perfect for your plants and trees as it maintains humidity and protects the soil, creating a perfect terrain for their growth.

Available in garnet red and natural (more grayish) colors, with the full range of measurements or grain sizes so you can choose the size you like best. 

Placing red/maroon volcanic gravel next to the plants

Placing the volcanic stone is very simple, it is recommended to put an anti-weed mesh to forget about the weeds that look bad and do not allow your plants to grow with everything in their favor.

Once the anti-grass mesh is placed, we place the stones. A couple of layers of stone are recommended to protect the soil and humidity well. 

How much gravel do I need per m²?

It is a good question that you all ask yourself, in the case of stone, pellets, pozzolana or volcanic clay, whatever you want to call it, the equivalence of L to m³ is approximately between 900 and 1,000 L. 1 m³. (it depends on the size of the gravel and the humidity that the stone carries).

For example, if you want to cover 10 m² with stone size 10-25 mm, we will calculate 40 mm thickness so that there are two layers of stone, 10x0.04 = 0.4 m³, which is equivalent to 400 L. If we want to cover 10 m² with 25-50 mm we will need about 80 mm thick, 10x0.08=0.8 m³ about 800 L.

Calculating is simple, if you want to make sure, do not hesitate to contact us by sending an email or by phone at 629 571 735

Color of volcanic stone

We have red and natural volcanic gravel, it is a stone that has many "sees", the gravel itself is usually the same in each batch (perhaps the natural one varies a little from one batch to another) but it is important to know that it changes a lot intensity depending on the humidity of the stone. If it can cause a problem for you, it is better that you choose another type of gravel, as you can see in the photos, they look like different gravels but it is the same, it changes a lot depending on the humidity, the lighting of the photo, etc... keep this in mind. account please.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
