If you are looking to landscape your garden, then using our vast selection of pebbles here at Decorative Garden is a must. Scottish pebbles, in particular, add an incredibly organic and natural finish to your garden with their beautiful earth tones. In this blog post, we cover what pebbles are, why you should choose Scottish pebbles for your garden, and all the pebbles offered here at Decorative garden.
What are pebbles?
Pebbles are small rocks that can be used to decorate gardens, patios and flower beds. They come in various colours, depending on personal preference. Larger pebbles can also be purchased that require less washing maintenance.
Why choose Scottish garden pebbles?
Premium Scottish garden pebbles are some of the most diverse stones you can buy. You can find them in various beautiful shades of beige, pink, orange, black and white. They have a small surface area, which means they look amazing when arranged on driveways, patios, paths or even as a final touch to a beloved plant pot. The Scottish garden pebbles here at Decorative Garden are all fish-friendly, so are perfect to use in ponds and water features as well.
These pebbles also help to add a level of practicality to your garden and driveway. Use them to create a stylish and comfortable walkway that feels pleasant underfoot. Bear in mind these pebbles are naturally rounded and have the tendency to move about if packed in too densely.
You will never find easier maintenance than with these garden pebbles. Particularly our larger Scottish garden pebbles require very little upkeep and power washing to remain pristine. A top tip is to consider using a weed membrane before laying and assembling your pebbles. This will help to stop weeds appearing through that need to be tended to.
The natural shape of Scottish garden pebbles allows for excellent drainage. This is due to the larger gaps in between the stones. Rain and water can then drain away more efficiently than with other paving options. This makes them a perfect option for soils near water features or on potted plants.
