Every week someone turns to Facebook Marketplace with their landscaping issues. Karen is offering free lava rock if you will haul it away alone. No one wants the lava rock, Karen.
Lava rock is used in a lot of landscaping projects. It’s a solid material and holds up well. However, it is dusty and dark, which doesn’t always work for your home. Work gloves and shoes come away orange after a project.
When it’s time to move on from lava rock, it’s hard to see all that material and money go to waste! Here are three ways to re-purpose lava rock. However, you may find it is best to schedule a dumpster and start shoveling.
Build a fire pit: Many DIYers suggest lava rock can be used when building an outdoor firepit. A bare-bones description of the project is to dig an area of your yard, and fill the base with landscaping rock. Be sure to surround the fire pit with heavy wall stone to keep fire in and people out.
Use lava rock for drainage in a flowerpot. Put a couple of scoops of lava rock at the base of a flowerpot to assist with drainage in your potted plants. This helps prevent soggy roots.
