FAQs

What is the primary use for Flamingo Pebbles?

Flamingo Pebbles are primarily used for decorative landscaping, such as in rockeries, borders, and around garden features.

Are these pebbles sharp?

No, these are rounded marble stones, meaning they have a smooth, non-sharp finish.

How much area does one 20kg bag cover?

Coverage varies depending on the desired depth. For a typical decorative layer of about 2-3cm, one 20kg bag will cover approximately 0.5 to 0.75 square meters.

Can I use these pebbles in a fish pond?

While they are natural marble, it is best to check for any potential pH impact on pond water before widespread use. Rinse them thoroughly before placing them in or around a pond.

Do I need to wash the pebbles before use?

The product is supplied washed for convenience, so no further washing is typically required before application.

What is the approximate size of each pebble?

The size of the pebbles ranges from 20mm to 50mm.

How do I store unused pebbles?

Store any unused pebbles in their original poly bag or a similar sealed container in a dry location to keep them clean.

Troubleshooting

Uneven distribution of pebbles

Use a rake to gently spread and level the pebbles. For larger areas, consider a wider garden rake.

Weeds growing through the pebbles

Ensure a layer of landscape fabric was used during setup. Manually remove any weeds that emerge, or apply a suitable weed killer if necessary.

Pebbles look dull or dirty

Gently hose down the area to clean the pebbles. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.

Color variation between bags

This is normal for natural stone products. Mix pebbles from different bags during application to achieve a more uniform appearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Aesthetically pleasing natural marble stones.
  • Unique pastel color mix adds visual interest.
  • Suitable for various decorative landscaping purposes.
  • Ready to use with minimal preparation due to washing.
  • Durable and long-lasting in outdoor environments.

Cons

  • Heavyweight (approx. 20kg per bag) requires physical effort for handling.
  • Natural stone may have slight variations in color and size.

  • Requires proper planning for bulk transport and placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Clear the desired area of weeds and debris.
  2. For a more stable base, consider laying landscape fabric before adding the pebbles, especially in areas prone to weed growth.
  3. Carefully open the poly bag and distribute the pebbles using a spade, trowel, or rake to achieve the desired coverage and depth.

Compatibility:

  • These pebbles are compatible with most garden soils and landscaping fabrics.
  • They are suitable for use around a wide variety of plants, including perennials, shrubs, and drought-tolerant species.
  • Avoid using in areas where fine soil or mulch is critical for plant establishment, as the larger pebble size may impede initial root growth.

Care:

  • The pebbles are supplied washed and require minimal ongoing care.
  • Periodically, you may wish to rinse them with a hose if they become dusty or soiled from surrounding garden activity.
  • To maintain their appearance, rake them occasionally to redistribute them evenly and remove any accumulated organic debris.
