Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most commonly searched questions when choosing granite for construction or landscaping work.
What is granite used for in landscaping?
Granite is widely used in landscaping for drainage, garden edging, and hardstand areas. Its durability and sharp, angular shape make it great for creating solid ground cover, supporting erosion control, or forming a strong decorative contrast in garden designs. It’s also effective in areas that experience heavy foot or vehicle traffic.
Is granite good for drainage?
Yes, granite is ideal for drainage. Its coarse, angular structure creates gaps that allow water to flow through easily while maintaining stability. It’s commonly used in drainage trenches, behind retaining walls, or under surface water runoff zones. Unlike rounded stones, granite stays in place better under pressure or water flow.
Can granite be used as a road base?
Granite can be used as a sub-base in road construction, particularly where strength and compaction are needed. It’s often chosen for rural driveways, machinery access tracks, or under concrete slabs. However, specific grading may be required depending on the job, so it’s always best to confirm the right type before ordering.
