Medium Dump Rock (Standard Gabion Stone) – Landscaping Rock

The Perfect Balance of Size and Texture.

Medium Dump Rock is the most popular stone choice for structural landscaping in Pretoria. Larger than our “Mini” rock but still manageable by hand, these stones provide a bold, natural look that anchors any garden design.

Why Choose Medium Dump Rock?

Gabion Specialist: This is the specific size required for standard Gabion baskets (retaining walls). The stones are large enough not to fall through the mesh, but small enough to pack tightly for a solid wall.
Verge Protection: Tired of cars parking on your grass or damaging your sprinklers? A border of Medium Dump Rock is aggressive enough to stop vehicles but attractive enough to look intentional.
Water Features: Ideal for dry river beds or lining the edges of ponds. The rough texture creates beautiful water movement.

Application Guide:

Retaining Walls: Fill wire cages to build strong, drainage-friendly walls.
Erosion Control: Pack these stones onto steep embankments to lock the soil in place during heavy rain.
Security: Place them under windows or along perimeter fences; the uneven surface makes it difficult for intruders to walk silently.

Delivery: We deliver bulk loads of Medium Dump Rock, supplying landscaping contractors and homeowners in Pretoria East.

Common Questions:

How big is “Medium”? Imagine a large Grapefruit or a small Melon (approx. 100mm to 150mm). It is heavy but can easily be picked up with one hand.
Is this right for Gabion Baskets? Yes. This is the standard size for the typical 50mm x 50mm or 100mm x 50mm wire mesh baskets. It is the most common choice for gabion retaining walls.
How do I clean the rocks? Dump rock is mined from the earth and will arrive covered in dust. You do not need to scrub them! Simply spray them down with a garden hose after placement, or wait for the first good rain to reveal their natural color.
