Where it works

Applications to discuss with your installer: Rock check dams, channel armor, erosion control. Confirm source specifications and project approval before use.

When to choose something else

Loose riprap, decorative boulders, flagstone and wall blocks serve different purposes. Do not use a product photo as a structural design or lifting guide.

Before it arrives

Confirm piece dimensions, site access, unloading area and the lifting equipment needed. Have drainage and foundation details designed before installation.

Placement & installation

Use suitable equipment and a qualified installer. Arrange drainage and filter layers where specified, and keep people clear of suspended or unstable stone.

Care over time

Inspect for settlement, displaced stone and blocked drainage, particularly after heavy rain. Have structural movement assessed before adding weight.

Confirm with the source

Not interchangeable with 3 x 5 recycled concrete. Exact grade and piece sizes, approximate individual weights, loading/unloading method, flatbed or dump delivery and any engineering requirements.

General planning guidance. Supplier specifications, project plans and site conditions determine suitability and installation requirements.
