We supply and export natural stone worldwide, including sandstone, granite, marble, agate, and river pebbles, sourced and graded for landscaping, water features, and decorative use
Size Grading
| Size Range (mm) | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 10-20mm | Aquariums, planters, fine pond beds |
| 20-40mm | Standard garden landscaping, pathways |
| 40-75mm | Larger garden beds, water feature borders |
| 75-150mm | Feature and accent pebbles, boulder-scale ground cover |
Grading isn’t perfectly standardized across suppliers, some quote 15-30mm/30-50mm/50-125mm bands instead of round 20mm increments, so it’s worth confirming exact grading against a project’s requirement rather than assuming all “medium” pebbles match across suppliers.
Finish
Natural (Non-Polished): The as-found river-washed surface, smooth from natural erosion, no further processing. The most cost-effective option and the most commonly used for general landscaping.
Polished / Tumbled: Given an additional tumbling process for a glossier, more saturated surface. Costs more than natural finish but is often chosen for feature areas, water features, and interior decorative use where the extra shine matters.
Colors
White, Black, Grey, Brown, Yellow, Green, Ivory, Pinkish Brown, and natural mixed-color batches sourced from different river beds.
Shape
Round and elliptical, a byproduct of natural water erosion rather than a cut specification, which means some shape variation within a graded batch is expected and normal.
Pebble Stone FAQ
What sizes do river pebbles come in?
Pebbles are graded by size range rather than exact dimensions — common ranges are 10–20mm, 20–40mm, 40–60mm, and 60mm+, chosen based on the application.
Which pebble size should I use for a garden bed?
20–40mm is the standard size for general landscaping and garden beds. Finer 10–20mm pebbles suit planters and pond beds, while 40mm+ is used for larger accent areas or feature borders.
Are pebbles sold by weight or by piece?
Pebbles are sold by weight or by bag for bulk orders, since they’re a loose, graded material rather than a cut, uniform product.
Can pebbles be used in water features and aquariums?
Yes, smooth river pebbles in the 10–20mm range are commonly used in ponds, aquariums, and filtration beds, as their rounded surface won’t damage liners or filter equipment.
Do pebbles come in different colors?
Yes, available in natural mixed tones or sorted into single colors such as white, black, yellow, or brown, depending on the source riverbed.
Do pebbles need any maintenance once laid?
Minimal — occasional rinsing or top-up (as pebbles can settle into soil over time) is typically all that’s needed; no sealing or finishing is required since the surface is naturally smooth and weather-resistant.
Is a base layer needed before laying pebbles?
Yes, a weed membrane and compacted base are generally recommended, particularly for larger installations, to stop pebbles from sinking into soil and to reduce weed growth underneath.
