$136.00 per t
Sandstone Small Pitching Rock, affectionately referred to as “Grannies,” are small to medium-sized natural sandstone boulders that offer a blend of aesthetic appeal and functional utility in landscaping and construction projects. These rocks are quarried and selected for their size and character, with each piece featuring unique shapes, colors, and textures that reflect the natural beauty and variety of sandstone. The warm, earthy hues of these rocks, from soft beiges to deep rusts and reds, complement a wide range of landscape designs, adding depth and natural beauty to the environment.
“Grannies” are particularly valued for their versatility in application. They can be used to create informal retaining walls that blend seamlessly into natural settings, serve as striking garden features, or provide effective erosion control along banks and slopes. Their irregular shapes and sizes allow for creative placement and design flexibility, enabling landscapers and gardeners to craft visually appealing and structurally sound installations. Beyond their aesthetic value, these pitching rocks also contribute to biodiversity by creating microhabitats for a variety of plants and animals within garden and landscape settings.
