Description
River Pebble is a naturally rounded, water-worn pebble supplied in a 20-45mm range. Its smooth, rounded shape gives a natural look in zen gardens, dry creek beds and around water features.
As a stone it does not break down like an organic mulch. Laid over a prepared, weed-matted base it is a low-maintenance ground cover. Stones vary in size within the range, and mixing them gives a natural, graded finish.

- Crushed stone and sand contain crystalline silica. Keep the material damp when spreading or sweeping, avoid breathing the dust, and wear a P2 mask if it is dry and dusty.
