For premium bright designs, start with white pebbles; for contrast and modern schemes, combine black with white; for naturalistic gardens and water features, use natural pebbles; where budget drives large areas, mixed color pebbles offer the best value.

Natural Pebbles vs Mixed Color Pebbles
| Appearance | Natural pebbles show the stone's own tones — greens, greys and earth colours. Mixed color pebbles are sorted across a wider colour spread for a livelier surface. |
|---|---|
| Typical applications | Natural: garden beds, borders and water edges where a restrained palette is wanted. Mixed colour: decorative beds, planters and feature areas where colour is the design element. |
| Size | Both are supplied in graded ranges; confirm exact size classes on the current grading chart. |
| Surface | Both are tumbled with a matte natural finish — the difference is colour sorting, not surface treatment. |

FAQ
Which pebble color should I choose for landscaping?
It depends on design intent: white for brightness and Japanese-style gardens, black for modern contrast, river tones for natural looks, mixed for economical coverage. See the individual product pages for details.
Are pebbles or gravel better for ground cover?
Pebbles give a smoother decorative look; gravel is angular, usually cheaper and more stable on paths and slopes. Many projects use both.
Can different pebble types be combined in one order?
Yes, combined orders are standard. Confirm the mix, grading and packing with the supplier when requesting a quote.
How do I estimate how many pebbles I need?
Use the stone quantity calculator to estimate volume by area and depth, then confirm with your supplier before ordering.
