A designer’s toolkit for using landscape rock in Victorian environments. Great landscapes begin with material that supports design intent. In public squares, school courtyards and coastal reserves, the durability, texture and geometry of landscape rocks are as critical as the colour. Transrock gives its partners a tactile way to choose the right material for the job.
The Wonga Park display yard carries one of Melbourne’s most comprehensive ranges and encourages architects, designers and contractors to see, touch and handselect the exact material that suits their project before it is delivered to site.
Smooth profiles support play spaces and water interfaces. Angular forms create visual impact, structure and drainage. Blocky formats enable durable retaining and seating outcomes. Every selection is backed by reliable, statewide delivery.
Smooth and rounded for high-contact and water settings
For play spaces, paths, creek lines and calming surfaces, Honey Granite rocks delivers a squarish field stone with rounded corners, available in both landscape rock and sawn options for steps and seats where a refined edge is needed.
Field Granite rocks offer softly weathered, rounded forms in warm honey and beige tones.
Angular for structure and crisp lines
Where the brief calls for engineered outcomes, angular faces matter.
Iceberg (Salt & Pepper) Granite rocks provide a clean speckled palette and angular interlock for modern walls and features.
Coldstream landscaping rock brings a rich multi-coloured palette of blues, purples, greys, browns and golds, available in large feature blocks (300 mm–2000 mm+) as well as a variety of spalls, walling and crushed material. Its naturally angular faces make each block unique, making it excellent at creating depth in a landscape.
Blue Mudstone delivers a refined blue-grey palette with natural brown accents and reliably angular faces that interlock cleanly. It suits feature walls, water-edge treatments and seating elements where crisp geometry is required.
Blocky and planar for retaining walls and seat edges
Pink Mudstone is a locally-quarried stone characterised by natural squarish to rectangular blocks (150 mm–2,000 mm) and warm pink-brown tones. Its stackable, planar form makes it well suited to retaining walls, seat edges and stepped features where precise geometry and aesthetic cohesion are required.
Large-format sandstone blocks further accelerate wall construction and double as informal seating zones, particularly effective in civic or high-traffic areas where consistency in unit size decreases installation time and improves finish control. These are available in a variety of sizes.
A selection-first service model, backed by delivery
Working with Transrock is simple: visit the yard or give them a call. Discuss the design intentions, machinery available and site limitations, and the team can work to find a suitable material and delivery window.
Collect your own landscape rocks, or the Transrock fleet spans many vehicles from 2m³ to truck and dog tippers, with telehandlers and excavators, Euro 6 equipped trucks and realtime fleet tracking for predictable ETAs. Coverage includes Melbourne, the Surf Coast, Mornington Peninsula and the Central Highlands.
Transrock gives designers and end users hands-on access to landscape rocks so they can align texture, colour and geometry with design intent. Hand select the right form and palette for the project at the Transrock display yard. Work with the team to find similar (or different) materials that fit the design brief, all backed by reliable delivery across Victoria (and interstate by special request).
