Tumbled Rock/Pebbles
Tumbled pebbles and rock are by-products of the extraction
process. Blocks or boulders that are too small for profile or other
use are either broken by a hammer to a certain size, usually 300mm
x 300mm and
random length or crushed in a crusher to four different pebble
sizes.
The sizes range from 10mm to 150mm and are graded into
10mm, 30mm minus, 40mm to 70mm
and 70mm to 150mm.
All sizes contain all the colours of the stone
extracted from the quarry. The colours include: brown, pink,
white, red, grey and
salt and pepper. This creates a pleasing look in the garden
hardscape.
The smaller pebble sizes are used as fill in between
pavers or stepping stones
and the larger tumbled stones are used to create a creek
bed or river bed effect, e.g. to disguise a stormwater culvert
and decrease erosion. Again,
the colours create a pleasing landscape.
The boulders that
are 300mm x300mm approximately (random DIY-sized), have
various uses including building a rock wall. Sandstone is easy
to work with and can be reshaped to suit the building
of a wall using random shapes
and sizes.
Both of the above products are sold in minimum
of 13 tonne and are available from the retail outlets
listed on this site.
