Description
Our Black Basalt Gravel 20mm is a hard-wearing angular stone, also known as Black Granite. These stunning 20-mm basalt chippings are becoming increasingly popular. This is due to their contemporary shade of grey, which darkens to near black once wet. The perfect chipping for gardens, due to its resistance to moss growth, our Black Basalt Gravel 20mm will maintain its beautiful colour tones for years. This dark grey, nearly black chipping is perfect for drives, footpaths, borders and raised beds. In addition it is a fish-friendly product, it is also suitable for ornamental water features and fishponds. The actual size is 14–20 mm, but as a naturally manufactured product, it may vary in shape, colour, and size; please see sizing information. We also stock black basalt gravel in 6mm, 10mm & 14mm sizes.
