Indigo Basalt

Indigo Basalt Black Landscape Rock

Create a clean, modern landscape with Indigo Basalt, a natural crushed basalt known for its deep charcoal-black color and bold, angular texture. This premium black landscape rock creates dramatic contrast around cactus, agave, succulents, ornamental grasses and other desert plants.

Indigo Basalt works especially well with the modern, mid-century and desert-inspired architecture found throughout Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Its dark color can define planting areas, complement concrete and light-colored pavers, and give residential or commercial landscapes a polished, finished appearance.

We carry Indigo Basalt in two popular sizes to match different project needs:

• 3/4" Indigo Basalt – ideal for driveways, pathways, drainage areas, and larger ground cover applications
• 3/8" Indigo Basalt – ideal for tighter decorative beds, planter areas, and more refined landscape finishes

Popular Uses for Indigo Basalt

Both sizes of Indigo Basalt are suitable for a variety of landscape applications, including:

• Decorative landscape ground cover
• Desert and xeriscape designs
• Planter beds and garden borders
• Walkways and landscape pathways
• Driveways and parking-area accents
• Dry creek beds and drainage features
• Cactus and succulent gardens
• Modern residential and commercial landscapes

Because Indigo Basalt is natural stone, it does not require watering, mowing or seasonal replacement like grass and organic mulch. Its angular shape produces a defined, textured appearance and makes it a strong choice for low-maintenance desert landscaping.

For best results, install Indigo Basalt over properly prepared and compacted soil. Quality landscape fabric can help separate the rock from the underlying soil and reduce weed growth. Edging may also be used to keep the material contained along pathways, planter beds and adjoining surfaces.
