Appearance
Bluestone Pitchers are reclaimed stone blocks, historically used as a building material across Victoria in the early 20th century. Typically blocky and rectangular, they carry a distinctive aged look with natural wear, giving them strong character and authenticity. Their manageable size makes them easy to handle and ideal for small-scale landscaping and construction work.
Common Uses
Bluestone Pitchers are versatile and work well across both decorative and structural applications:
- Garden edging – creates a natural, historic border around lawns or planting beds.
- Retaining walls & pillars – stackable blocks that interlock for strength and stability.
- Kerbs & channels – traditionally used in civil applications, still suited to driveways or pathways.
- Feature applications – can be reused to add heritage character to modern landscapes.
Workability
Bluestone Pitchers are easier to shape than many other volcanic stones, while still offering durability.
- Drilling & cutting – achievable with the right tools, making them suitable for custom adjustments.
- Stacking – blocky form allows them to be dry-stacked or mortared easily for walls and edges.
Unique Qualities
- Naturally rounded appearance for a softer, more organic look.
- Warm colour variation in honey, beige, and greige tones.
- Popular in native garden settings where it blends seamlessly with Australian plantings.
- Natural lichen growth on some pieces, adding authenticity and character.
