Pebbles & Cobbles

Add natural texture and charm to your outdoor space with our selection of decorative pebbles and cobbles. Ideal for borders, water features, and pathways, our garden pebbles come in a variety of sizes and tones to suit every style. Whether you’re after smooth pebbles or chunky cobbles, we’ve got quality options perfect for both trade and DIY projects. 

Q: What’s the difference between pebbles and cobbles?

A: The main difference is size. Pebbles are smaller, typically ranging from 20-60mm, while cobbles are larger, usually between 50-100mm or more. Pebbles are perfect for delicate borders and smaller features, while cobbles work well in rockeries, water features, and large-format edging.

Q: What colour variations are available for garden pebbles and cobbles?

A: We stock a wide range including:

• White pebbles - ideal for clean, modern spaces.

• Grey pebbles - perfect for neutral or contemporary designs.

• Black pebbles - add depth and contrast to planters or water features.

• Mixed natural cobbles - great for rustic, organic landscapes.

Q: Are decorative pebbles suitable for low-maintenance gardens?

A: Absolutely. Pebbles and cobbles are ideal for suppressing weeds, improving drainage, and adding visual interest without constant upkeep. Just lay a weed membrane beneath and enjoy a tidy finish all year round.

Q: What sizes do your pebbles and cobbles come in?

A: We offer a full range of sizes to suit every garden and landscaping need:

• 6-10mm - Perfect for detailed decorative work, pot toppings, and intricate border edging.

• 11-15mm - A great choice for pathways, patios, and small decorative areas.

• 16-20mm - Ideal for general garden use including beds, borders, and under seating areas.

• 21-30mm - Offers a chunkier texture for bolder visual impact in larger beds or planters.

• 31-40mm - Suitable for rockeries, edging, or mixing with smaller sizes for texture.

• 41mm+ - Best for dramatic features, water elements, or as focal points in contemporary garden designs. 

Choosing the right size depends on the scale of your space and the look you want to achieve - smaller sizes give a more refined finish, while larger stones offer strong visual contrast

Q: How can I use white garden pebbles creatively in my design?

A: Use white decorative pebbles to brighten shaded areas, create contrast around dark paving, or fill planters and pots. They're also ideal for Zen or Mediterranean-style gardens.

Q: Any pebble garden ideas for inspiration?

A: Yes! Try:

• A dry riverbed feature using mixed cobbles and pebbles.

• A minimalist patio border with black or white pebbles.

• Gabion walls filled with extra large cobbles for texture.

• A rockery bed layered with different pebble sizes for contrast.

Q: Are pebbles and cobbles safe to use around plants?

A: Yes - they help retain moisture in soil, reduce weeds, and provide insulation for roots. Just avoid piling them too closely around delicate stems to prevent rot.

Q: Do you offer bulk bags of decorative pebbles?

A: We do. Our bulk bags (approx. 850kg) are ideal for larger landscaping projects and offer better value than buying in smaller quantities.

Q: Can I use pebbles and cobbles for garden paths?

A: Yes, especially 20-40mm pebbles for footpaths. For a more stable surface, install with a gravel grid or compacted base layer. Larger cobbles can line the edges for a tidy, defined border.

Q: Are these products suitable for DIY projects?

A: Definitely. Pebbles and cobbles are easy to install - just prep the area, lay a weed membrane, and spread your chosen aggregate. No specialist tools required.
