Get your rocks off...us!

Rocky the Goat

We have all sorts of rocks - big rocks for big gardens, small rocks for borders, and little itty-bitty rocks for paving and drainage - and everything in between!

Crushed & Broken Rock

Probably the most popular product of all is the 20mm bluestone rock (also called "Road Metal", it's the same stuff used in bitumen roads).

This rock can be used on building sites to improve traction, as a driveway base (on top of packing sand), and in concrete.

We also carry coarser and finer grades of rock, in a whole variety of colours and textures, so fitting in with your garden scheme should be a breeze!

For specific information about particular rock grades and where and how they can be used most effectively, please give us a call, or post a question in the Forum.

Boulders & Slabs

For feature areas, we carry a great selection of granite, bluestone, and Castlemaine boulders.

Because these are natural rocks, the size and shape vary considerably, so be sure to pop in and see our range so you can select the perfect rocks for your specific needs.

From truckloads to single items, we'll be happy to help you select the very best ornamental rock for your garden!

Don't Forget! We have FREE courtesy trailers suitable for all our yard products, as well as same-day delivery anywhere in Melbourne!

 

Please Note : Aumann's strives to provide the very best products at the very best prices in Melbourne. Unfortunately, our suppliers' costs are outside our control. For that reason, the cost of some garden soils and mulches will be dependent on the location. So please contact us first if you wish to purchase products from our South Morang store, and we'll be able to confirm a price before you purchase it!

Aumanns management apologise for the inconvenience, however this is solely due to factors outside our control.

Name Description Image Price Size Units Buy
Castella Toppings

Castella Toppings are similar in size and texture to Lilydale Toppings, but weathers to a delicate pale red/beige colour.

As you can imagine, this looks delightful in the more modern settings, and can be used in place of Lilydale Toppings.

Granite Caps/Field Granite

Granite Caps are thin slabs of naturally-weathered granite, complete with lichen.

Field granite is a more rounded, natural-looking feature rock, but it can be used to soften or highlight the effect of the flatter slabs.

They look great as edging around ponds and gardens, and the weathered effect means they'll look like they've been there forever.

We get these rocks from near Benalla, and they are hand-picked and packed to avoid cracking.

Please note that the price is per SQUARE metre, not cubic metre.

Full palettes are priced at just $160 each.

Colac Rocks (Large)These rocks are larger versions of the small Colac rocks. They vary in size from 250-600mm, and can easily be used as scattered feature rocks, as well as being ideal for retaining walls and edging.Click this picture to see a larger image!. POA  
Large River Stone

The same colour range of this heavier (50mm - 150mm) river stone complements the finer grades perfectly for a consistent look and feel throughout your garden.

This stone is ideal used in water features, garden edges, and even as scattered features.

Bolstered Granite

Another of our larger rocks, the bolstered granite is a squarer finish rock in a large form.

This can be used for retaining walls, and is a great old-style rock feature.

Colac Rocks (Small)

Colac rock is a volcanic rock with reddish-pink overtones. It looks brilliant used in retaining walls and as edging.

This grade ranges in size from 60mm to 200mm, and can be used to fill in areas in retaining walls and so on where the large Colac rock is too bulky.

7mm River Stone7mm river stone gives a great effect when used on driveways. As it's a more rounded style of rock, it's easier on the feet too!Click this picture to see a larger image!. POA  
Natural River Stone

Aumann's are proud to announce that we are the sole distributors of this fantastic new rock.

Originally from the Delatite river near Mansfield here in Victoria, these chocolate to light brown rounded stones are perfect to line river beds, and they are a perfect complement in Japanese gardens.

Sizes range from less than 50mm to over 200mm.

25mm Scoria

25mm scoria is typically used for improving drainage.

It can also be used as a ground cover, as a weed suppressant.

Although it has been popular in the past as a garden topping (usually with acres of black plastic under it), it really does not assist soil moisture retention as well as mulch does.
