The Many Uses of Pebbles

Pebbles are more than just the smooth rocks lining a river’s shore. They are found in more places than surrounding a lake or scattered by the ocean shore. Pebbles are now used in many different ways for landscaping. Pebbles can be used to create a pathway through a flower garden, or to place around plantings near a house. They now come in various colors, making them even more versatile. Pebbles can line a homemade pond or stream to make it look more natural. They can be used in dry areas, or in xeriscaping, in order to reduce the need for water. Rock gardens can benefit from the varied sizes and colors of pebbles. Today, landscape designers are able to incorporate pebbles into a wide range of ideas, including art pieces or fireplaces. Of course, you can still find beautifully natural pebbles by most bodies of water, but many people are realizing the benefits of this natural stone right in their own backyard.
