Stones and Pebbles

Q: Are pebbles good for drainage?

Drainage is necessary for outdoor features such as retaining walls, and larger gravel or pebbles allow water to drain away faster than soil does. Stones that are too small will become compacted and water won’t drain away. A good size guide is 1.2 cm to 2.5 cm stones for drainage.

Q: Do pebbles stop weeds?

Pebbles will help suppress them but not stop them completely. For the best results, install a weed suppression mat under the pebbles.

Q: What size are cobblestones?

Cobblestones come in a variety of sizes in Australia. The smallest are usually 10 cm x 10 cm cubes, with regulation cobblestones 12 cm x 23 cm and 30 cm thick.

Q: What are cobblestones made of?

Cobblestones are made from highly durable stones, usually granite or basalt.

Outdoor stones and pebbles can add warmth, texture, and natural charm to any outside space. They can be used in a multitude of ways, including in walkways, steps, patios and walls, or as an attractive feature in a garden to frame some beautiful plants. ArchiPro features only the best outdoor stones and pebbles from trusted suppliers in Australia.

Types of outdoor stones and pebbles

Pebbles

Pebbles have a semi-polished, smooth round surface and are very versatile. They can be loose as decorative pebbles or set into concrete as a feature.

Gravel

Gravel is coarse and rustic and comes in a variety of sizes and colours. It’s cost-effective and versatile and suits a natural space.

Cobblestones

Perfect for high-traffic areas, cobblestones come in different sizes and colours in Australia and provide a unique and charming feature in modern or traditional spaces.

River stones

This garden stone is a larger alternative to pebble and is usually grey or, less commonly, white.

Boulders

Boulders are a unique outdoor option with the larger stone often used to edge a garden or create a natural decorative feature.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor stones and pebbles

Anything that is outside all year round needs to be of a quality that will withstand the weather, foot traffic, and furniture, which is particularly important for stones used in walkways and patios. You want your garden stone to retain the look and qualities you purchased it for, whether that is rustic, or sleek and shiny. High quality choices will tick all these boxes giving you everything you need in terms of functionality and style.

How to choose outdoor stones and pebbles that are right for you

If you need small outdoor stones, the only question is whether you want smooth stone pebbles or coarse chippings or gravel. The placement of these will also be important as you don’t want them to interfere with the lawnmower when doing your regular gardening. Boulders can provide interesting diversity in a garden and create a nice natural focal point. Many outdoor stones in Australia come in different colours too, so choose one that will complement your space and garden hues.

How much does a 20 kg bag of pebbles cover?

This will depend on the depth of the pebbles, and for a planted area, the depth needs to be between 3 and 5 cm. A 20 kg bag of pebbles, gravel, or chipping will cover approximately 0.25 square metres at 5 cm thick, and 0.4 square metres at 3 cm thick.
