Buying guide
Which decorative pebbles should you choose?
Start with the area you want to cover and the look you want to achieve. Small pebbles create a finer texture, while larger stones make individual shapes more visible. Also check whether the material comes loose, in bags or by special order before planning your quantity and delivery.
Compare the river-pebble sizes
| Option | What the current range offers | Before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| 10mm River Pebble | A smaller grade listed for decorative ground cover, borders, planter boxes and pedestrian pathways. | For a walking surface, discuss the intended surface and installation with your installer. |
| 20–30mm River Pebble | A larger texture for decorative landscaping, garden borders and dry creek beds. | These are natural stones with varied shapes; the nominal grade does not mean every stone has identical dimensions. |
| 40–60mm River Pebble | Larger, more irregular stones for garden beds, courtyards and decorative features. | Compare the smaller grades if you want a finer finish. |
| 60–200mm Mixed River Pebble | Larger stones for dry creek beds and decorative features. | This is a special-order product and is not kept in the yard. Confirm supply and lead time before planning the job. |
Natural colour, shape and size vary. Visit our Springwood yard to inspect the materials currently available; ask our team about the special-order range.
Looking for white pebbles in bags?
Snow White Pebbles come in two specific combinations:
- A 5kg bag of 5–10mm pebbles.
- A 10kg bag of 10–20mm pebbles.
They are sold in bags only, not as loose bulk material. Choose the stone grade and its matching bag size, then tell us how many bags you need. The product page lets you select the pack for your enquiry.
Work out the quantity before requesting a quote
Measure the area and confirm the intended depth for your project. For a rectangular area, the geometric volume is:
Length (m) × width (m) × depth (mm) ÷ 1,000 = volume (m³).
For example, 4m × 2m × 50mm equals 0.4m³. This is an arithmetic example, not a recommended laying depth or a confirmed order quantity. Confirm the depth and material requirements for your design first.
Shantana’s homepage material calculator provides an estimate. Its weight calculation uses an assumed density; it does not establish the actual weight of your selected pebble or the number of bags needed. Ask our team to confirm the selling unit and quantity.
Make your enquiry specific
Tell us the product and grade, your measured area and confirmed depth, or the number of bags required. Include your delivery suburb or pickup preference and any access restrictions.
