FAQs

What is the size of these white pebbles?

The Long Rake Spar White Pebbles are sized between 20mm and 40mm.

Are these pebbles suitable for fish ponds or water features?

Yes, these pebbles are non-toxic and suitable for use in water features and ponds. It is recommended to rinse them thoroughly before adding them to aquatic environments.

How much area does a 20kg bag cover?

A 20kg bag typically covers approximately 0.15 to 0.2 square meters at a depth of 4-5cm. Coverage will vary based on the desired depth and application.

Can these pebbles be used indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor landscaping, they can be used indoors for decorative purposes in planters or arrangements, provided adequate care is taken to prevent mess.

Will these pebbles fade over time?

Made from natural dolomite, these pebbles are durable and designed to maintain their bright, sparkling finish. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements might cause slight natural weathering over many years.

How do I prevent weeds from growing?

The most effective method is to lay a permeable landscape fabric or geotextile membrane beneath the pebbles. A sufficient depth of pebbles (4-6cm) also helps to block sunlight required for weed germination.

Are these pebbles heavy?

Each bag weighs 20kg. While manageable for most adults, care should be taken when lifting and transporting the bags.

Troubleshooting

Pebbles appear dusty or dull upon arrival.

Rinse the pebbles thoroughly with water using a hose or sieve before or after application to reveal their natural sparkle.

Weeds are still growing through the pebbles.

Ensure a thick enough layer of pebbles (4-6cm) was applied, and that a quality landscape fabric was used underneath. Remove any weeds by hand and consider adding more pebbles.

Pebbles are being displaced from pathways.

Consider installing edging or borders along the pathways. Ensure the layer is deep enough or compact slightly if necessary, depending on the intended use.

Uneven distribution of pebbles after spreading.

Use a rake to gently level the surface, ensuring an even depth across the entire area for consistent appearance and function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Clear the area of weeds and debris. For optimal weed suppression and to prevent pebbles from mixing with soil, lay down a permeable landscape fabric or geotextile membrane before applying the pebbles.
  2. Rinsing (Recommended): It is advisable to rinse the pebbles with water before application to remove any dust accumulated during packaging. This will immediately reveal their sparkling finish.
  3. Application: Spread the pebbles evenly over the prepared area to the desired depth (typically 4-6cm for effective weed suppression).

Compatibility:

  • These pebbles are compatible with most garden soils and landscaping structures.
  • They are suitable for use around most plant types, but ensure adequate drainage is maintained for specific plant needs.
  • Works well with various garden styles, including modern, minimalist, Mediterranean, and Japanese.

Care:

  • Weeding: While the pebbles suppress weeds, occasional stragglers may appear. Pull them out by hand as soon as they are spotted.
  • Cleaning: Over time, leaves and debris may accumulate. Gently rake the surface or use a leaf blower on a low setting. For stubborn dirt, a light rinse with a hose can refresh their appearance.
  • Replenishment: In areas with significant foot traffic or erosion, occasional top-ups may be necessary to maintain the desired depth.
