Lay a Solid Foundation with Rubble & Roadbase

While vibrant flowers and lush greenery often steal the spotlight, the foundation of a truly exceptional landscape may be hidden beneath the surface.

Rubble and roadbase, the often overlooked workhorses, play a crucial role in creating a stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.

What is Rubble and Roadbase?

Rubble and roadbase are terms used for crushed rock materials of varying sizes, typically ranging from dust to stones around 20mm in diameter. They are sourced from quarries and processed to meet specific construction and landscaping applications.

Here at Acacia Garden Supplies, we offer two popular choices for your landscape projects:

Quarry Rubble

This cream/beige coloured rubble is a versatile mixture of gravel and sand, ideal for compacting driveways, underneath paving stones, and concrete slabs.

Dolomite Rubble

This grey/blue coloured rubble boasts similar properties to quarry rubble but offers a distinct visual appeal. It's perfect for the same applications as quarry rubble, adding a touch of elegance with its unique hue.

Beyond the Basics: The Multifaceted Benefits of Rubble & Roadbase

While some might consider rubble and roadbase merely filler materials, their benefits extend far beyond providing a solid base. Here's how these unsung heroes can elevate your landscaping projects:

Drainage Champion

Rubble and roadbase excel at facilitating drainage. By creating a permeable layer beneath your topsoil, they allow excess water to drain efficiently, preventing pooling and waterlogging. This is particularly crucial in areas with high rainfall or heavy clay soil, protecting your plants from root rot and ensuring a stable foundation for pathways and patios.

Weed Warrior

Rubble and roadbase act as a natural weed barrier. By creating a physical barrier between the soil and the surface, they hinder weed seeds from germinating and established weeds from thriving. This translates to less time spent weeding and more time enjoying your beautiful landscape.

Cost-Effective Solution

Compared to some alternative materials like concrete or compacted gravel, rubble and roadbase offer a cost-effective solution for creating a solid base for your landscaping projects. They are readily available and require minimal processing, making them a budget-friendly choice.
