The 14mm size suits garden borders and flower beds, pathways, driveways and parking areas, rockeries, pot toppings, water features, and contemporary landscaping across domestic and commercial projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBasalt is a volcanic rock and one of the hardest aggregates available, which is what separates it from the limestone and slate options in the decorative range. It resists crushing and wear, holds its edges and colour rather than breaking down or dulling, and stands up to vehicle traffic, making it one of the few aggregates that works equally well as a decorative stone and as a driveway surface. The black colouring is natural to the rock rather than coated or dyed, so it will not fade or wash out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDark aggregate is also the easiest to live with. Leaf litter, dirt, oil marks, and algae show immediately on pale stone but barely register on black, so a basalt drive or bed holds its appearance for far longer with less upkeep, and the colour deepens to a near-glossy black when wet. Supplied in a bulk bag, a depth of around 40mm is usually sufficient for beds and borders, with 50mm or more over a compacted base for driveways, laid over a weed membrane. Coverage will vary with depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecification:\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-link lnkChangeSection\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"accordion\" class=\"product-page__accordian\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"collapse_specs\" class=\"collapse show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-page__spec-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-page__spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong Rake Spar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product-page__spec-table__heading\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Home \u0026 Trade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55403675943239,"sku":"DECAGG032","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7759\/6999\/files\/DECAGG032.jpg?v=1791879140","url":"https:\/\/homeandtrade.co.uk\/products\/longrake-black-basalt-14mm-bulk-bag","provider":"Home \u0026 Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
