Pebbles for Every Landscaping Need

If you are planting foliage in your yard or garden, you will want to cover the ground under your plants and flowers in order to protect the plants, keep moisture in, and provide a finished look. Pebbles are a perfect material for a variety of planting styles. Ranging in color from earth tones to colorful stones, pebbles are a very versatile cover material. With a range of sizes also available, pebbles can meet the needs of different landscapers with diverse planting projects.

Also a great material for rock beds and ponds, pebbles work great in wet areas to provide a textured surface. They are often used to line the bed of a pond and under plants surrounding ponds. These rocks show their colors more vividly when wet, which also makes them appealing for ponds and waterfalls.

Decorative rock beds are a great solution for drab areas of the yard, or ones that are difficult to grow plants in. Using pebbles as the base material is a great solution for areas such as these. Pebbles also are favorable in these areas of the yard because they don’t decay, they won’t blow away in the wind, and they won’t attract insects like typical mulch.

For those with an extra artistic touch, pebbles can be used in outdoor decorative pieces, such as mosaics and stepping stones. The variety of colors of pebbles that are sold can allow for a little bit of expression on the part of a designer or landscaper to create an outdoor masterpiece.
