As one of Europe’s largest manufacturers, we select and sort directly at the source minerals of exceptional purity and hardness to subject them to a meticulous industrial rounding process. The result is our flagship collection: a premium range of stones with extremely smooth organic surfaces, perfect lines, and unbreakable durability, designed to transform any outdoor space into a work of art.
🎨 A Chromatic Palette and Haute Couture Textures
Forget decorative stones in flat, monotonous colors. Our collection ranges from the dazzling purity of Blanco Macael, through the understated elegance of Granito Mercurio and the boldness of Rojo Burdeos, to our most exclusive gems, such as Lunar Gris —with its mystical black core revealed in every natural notch— or the Hawai and Pandora series. Each pebble possesses a unique geological identity that becomes spectacularly more intense under sunlight or when it comes into contact with water, multiplying reflections and the garden’s visual depth.

pebbles are fragments of rock that have been naturally polished and rounded by the action of water in rivers and along coasts. This process, which takes thousands of years, gives them their characteristic smooth, edge-free shape.
They are then selected and classified by size and color for use in construction and decoration. Thanks to their natural origin, each pebble is unique, adding a touch of exclusivity to any project.
Types of pebbles
The variety of pebbles is immense, allowing for unique combinations and designs. They are mainly classified by their color and type of rock.
White pebbles
The white pebble is one of the most popular for its ability to bring brightness and elegance. It is ideal for creating contrasts and defining areas in the garden. The best known is white marble pebble, which stands out for its purity and shine.
Black pebbles
The black pebble offers a touch of sobriety and modernity. It is perfect for minimalist-style gardens or for combining with other colors and creating sophisticated designs. The intense black of basalt or slate are highly sought-after options.
Colored pebbles
For those looking for a more original finish, colored pebbles are the solution. They can be found in reddish, greenish, yellowish tones or a mix of several shades. They are perfect for creating mosaics, patterns, or simply adding a touch of color to a corner of the garden.
River pebbles
The river pebble is the most common and is characterized by its mix of gray, brown, and beige tones. It is an economical and very versatile option that adapts to any garden style.
Uses and applications of pebbles
pebbles are not only beautiful, but also very practical. Their applications are numerous:
Garden decoration
This is their most common use. They are used to cover flower beds, tree pits, define areas, create dry gardens (xeriscaping), or as a decorative element in pots and planters.
Paths and walkways
They are a natural, permeable alternative to traditional paving. They make it possible to create paths and walkways in the garden quickly and easily. For this use, a pebble size of between 20 and 40 mm is recommended so it is comfortable to walk on.
Fill and drainage
Thanks to their drainage capacity, pebbles are an excellent option for the bottom of pots and planters, and for creating drainage layers in the ground, preventing waterlogging.
Construction projects
In construction, they are used to make concrete, as part of building drainage systems, or as a decorative element on facades and walls.
How can you give pebbles for garden a good finish?
To achieve a professional and long-lasting finish with pebbles, it is not enough to simply place the stones: it is essential to have the right accessories that ensure stability, cleanliness, and aesthetics.
For example, you can install aweed control mesh to prevent the growth of weeds between the stones. On the mesh, a system of geocells or soil stabilization can be used, which helps keep the gravel in place, prevent shifting, and distribute loads better. This is especially useful on sloped areas or places with frequent foot traffic.
To delimit and contain the pebble, it is essential to install garden edging or separators. Edging prevents the pebbles from “spilling out” and visually defines green spaces and pathways.
Frequently asked questions about pebbles
What type of pebble is best for the garden?
The best type of pebble for your garden depends on the intended use and the style you’re looking for. White pebbles are ideal for paths and for adding brightness; black ones are perfect for modern and elegant designs; colored ones can create livelier and more original settings; and river stones, with their natural tones, adapt to any style. For high-traffic areas, sizes of 20-40mm are recommended, while for visual decoration, 8-12mm are excellent.
How many kilos of pebbles do I need per square meter?
You need approximately between 70-80 kg of pebbles per square meter for a 5 cm thick layer. To calculate it precisely: multiply the m² by the desired thickness in meters and by 1500 (approximate density of the pebbles in kg/m³). Example: 10 m² with 0.05 m thickness = 10 × 0.05 × 1500 = 750 kg. It is always advisable to add an extra 10% to account for possible unevenness in the ground.
How much will a 20 kg bag of pebbles cover?
A 20 kg bag of pebbles will cover approximately 0.25 m² if you apply a 5 cm thick layer. This yield may vary slightly depending on the size of the pebble and the final thickness of the layer.
How do I install pebbles in the garden?
The steps to install pebbles are:
Clean and level the ground, removing vegetation.
Compact the soil.
Install a geotextile mesh, securing it with stakes to prevent weed growth.
Spread the pebbles evenly with a rake.
Lightly compact the pebbles.
Gently water to settle them. The weed-control mesh is essential to reduce maintenance.
Do pebbles for the garden need maintenance?
The pebbles require minimal maintenance. Occasionally, you will need to rake them to keep a uniform level, remove leaves and debris with a blower or rake, and hose them down 1-2 times a year to remove dust. In high-traffic areas, you may need to top up a small amount every 3-5 years. With a geotextile mesh underneath, weed growth is drastically reduced.
