The premium Scottish pebbles stocked by Decorative Gardens come in a range of different sizes, all of which offer a variety of benefits. All also deliver a more diverse appearance than Scottish cobbles, because of their mixture of whites, pinks, oranges, blacks and beiges. Read on to find out what Scottish pebble options there are and how best they could meet your individual tastes and needs.
Scottish Pebbles 20mm-30mm
This is a very popular size choice when it comes to Scottish pebbles due to its variety of different uses. They are widely chosen for use in water features, as all of the Scottish pebbles we stock are fish friendly and safe for aquatic life, as well as for garden borders and as decorative ground cover.
Scottish pebbles offer an extremely low-maintenance option and are an excellent alternative to soil, grass or even gravel. Proper preparation with weed-deterring fabric will make this a much more time-saving option for the busy modern gardener who doesn’t want to spend time mowing lawns or pulling up weeds.
This size of pebble is generally not the most popular choice for driveways and paths. This is because they will not generally lie as flat as their smaller counterparts. You don’t have to rule them out for this purpose, however. If you have your heart set on using this size of Scottish pebble, then careful application could achieve the effect you want.
At Decorative Gardens, we currently offer the following choices in 20mm-30mm Scottish pebbles.
Premium Scottish Tweed Pebbles 20-30mm
These are quite large pebbles and offer an array of colours. They also look spectacularly pretty when wet, making them a great choice for water features and ponds.
Despite their relatively large size, do not discount them for topping both indoor and outdoor pots, either. They can look stunning and will help to keep moisture in and weeds away.
Deco-Pak Scottish Pebbles
These are natural Scottish pebbles that create a colourful display of greys, beiges, browns and reds. They are perfectly suited to adding impact to decorative borders or providing a contrasting feature to plants and flowers.
Scottish Pebbles 20-30mm
This is the largest size of Scottish pebbles that we stock that are supplied from a family business in the very north of Scotland. You can buy handy bulk bags of these pebbles and enjoy an array of deep blacks and browns, as well as bright whites, striking oranges and pinks.
Scottish Pebbles 14mm-20mm
If you are looking for a slightly smaller Scottish pebble option then there is a 14mm-20mm choice. This size is ideal for driveways and paths, as well as for decorative ground cover and as an addition to water features. Specific choices include:
Caledonian Pebbles 14-20mm
These Kelkay Caledonian Pebbles are a colourful choice and are a premium grade stone. Every pebble is carefully selected and looks particularly striking when wet.
Their appearance, when accompanied by water, makes Caledonian Pebbles popular for water features and ponds, but they are also great if you are creating a themed outside space. They can be used in a variety of different garden designs, including in coastal, Alpine, Mediterranean, rock and Oriental gardens. They perfectly complement the type of planting often used in these kinds of gardens and can also be used to top pots, both inside and out.
Premium Balmoral Pebbles 14-20mm
This is another choice of premium pebbles that can be used in a variety of different locations. They can make a great alternative to gravel on driveways and paths. Their larger size makes them less likely to move and easier to tidy when they do. They can also make a beautiful alternative to Scottish cobbles in water features or rockeries.
Scottish Pebbles 14-20mm
This is the medium size offered by the family supplier in northern Scotland. They look fantastic on their own or they can be mixed with other sizes from the same range to produce a more varied effect. Once again, these pebbles are delivered in bulk bags for your convenience.
Scottish Pebbles 8mm-14mm
This is the smallest size of Scottish pebbles that we stock at Decorative Gardens. They are another great choice if you want decorative groundcover that compliments a range of different planting styles, and will go with all sorts of buildings and existing garden features.
Small Scottish pebbles can be used in water features, either alone or combined with the bigger stones and Scottish cobbles, and also for driveways and paths. They work very well on surfaces that need to withstand walking or driving as they compact well to produce an even and sturdy surface.
This size is also a good choice for infill around your patio or to fill in spaces on the outside of your property. The colours in this smaller size are particularly striking thanks to the sheer array of different stones included in each bulk bag of pebbles.
