During the landscaping of our new TV home 5 years ago, we decided to go with 'rocks'. Wanted reddish color, and thought lava rocks might be good. Discussing with the co that installed our stacked walls, they told us NO to lava rocks. After a few seasons they will develop black mildew in the small holes and crevices. So we decided on nice reddish stones our front (much more $$$, but,) - after 5 years...perfect. I did the back of the house myself and decided to go with the lava rocks since it's a relatively narrow area all around. Spread bags of the rock and looked great for a couple years - then the black spots. I'm OK with it since it's in the rear and not too noticeable...but...heads up....
