Volcanic Tuff Rock - Tuff Rock Substrate

Tuff, a Volcanic Rock

Tuff is a type of rock formed from volcanic ash ejected from a vent during a volcanic eruption. After ejection and deposition, the ash is consolidated into solid rock.

Tuff, a volcanic rock, is black, dark green, or red in color.

Tuff stones vary significantly in texture, some being full of rounded, sponge-like bombs a foot or more in diameter. They may contain shale, sandstone, pebbles, and other sedimentary materials, and sometimes are fossiliferous.

Tuff stones allow for covering large areas of land with reasonable financial investment, and for enjoying a designed and decorated garden.

Tuff maintains constant soil moisture and temperature, contains no weed seeds, and retains its appearance for years.

Tuff stones come in various sizes and types, with red and black being their most common colors.

Tuff stones are also used in agriculture as fertile ground in greenhouses, but they are mostly known as ground-covering stones, popular in gardens, balconies, and public spaces.

Tuff stone has unique properties, providing 30% better protection from winter cold or summer heat compared to other stones, thus keeping the house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Tuff stone has many medicinal properties. For example, lung patients feel more comfortable when the room is decorated with tuff stones.
