Pebble Río Dorado

River pebbles ideal for decorative gabions

Discover our river pebbles, perfect for filling gabions in gardens. These pebbles stand out for their ideal size, making them increasingly popular in outdoor decoration projects.

Unlike other types of river pebbles on the market, our stones are meticulously selected, ensuring a uniform size and a low proportion of broken units. Their almost polished finish and non-porous texture prevent dirt from embedding, unlike pebbles with a more sandy appearance.

Appearance and grain size of the stone

If you have decided to incorporate gabions into your outdoor space, the choice of stone is crucial. The grain size and appearance are important factors for achieving a harmonious result.

How is the size of the stone measured?

When mentioning stones of 60-80 mm, this indicates that the stones pass through an 80x80 mm mesh and not through a 60x60 mm one. However, it is possible to find stones that exceed 80 mm in length and 65 mm in width due to variations in classification. On the other hand, in the case of stones larger than 60 mm, it is estimated that up to 10% may break during the classification, washing, loading, and unloading processes. Currently, we do not have machinery that completely eliminates these breakages.

The images shown on the left, which only show the stones, have been taken from actual big bags, ensuring that broken pieces have not been removed to preserve the authenticity of the product.

RESULTADO (KG)

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.

For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.

For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.

The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

The grain sizes are sieve sizes

The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.

Breakage of stones

On the other hand, in stones larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.

In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.

Dust and sand in the products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; the stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
