FAQs

How much gravel do I need?

Calculate the area you need to cover (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth (in feet). One bulk bag covers a significant area but the exact coverage depends on the depth you use.

Are these pebbles suitable for a driveway?

Yes, they can be used for driveways, but you should prepare a suitable base layer of compacted aggregate (e.g., MOT Type 1) for best results.

Can I use these pebbles in a fish tank?

Yes, these pebbles are fish-friendly, but you must wash them thoroughly before use to remove any dust or impurities.

How do I maintain the pebbles?

Regularly remove leaves and debris. Rake the pebbles occasionally to redistribute them. You may need to top up the pebbles over time to maintain the desired depth.

What is the size of the pebbles?

The pebbles are 50-75mm in size.

How do I handle the bulk bag?

Use appropriate equipment like a forklift or a similar mechanism to move the bulk bag safely. Always follow safety guidelines for lifting and moving heavy objects.

Do the pebbles fade over time?

Natural stone pebbles may experience some minor changes in color due to weathering, but the overall appearance and aesthetic are maintained.

Troubleshooting

Pebbles appear dusty or dirty after installation.

Rake the pebbles to redistribute them and allow rainfall to naturally clean them. Alternatively, rinse them with a garden hose.

Pebbles shift or move in high-traffic areas.

Ensure a proper base is used. Consider using a stabilizing grid underneath the pebbles in high-traffic areas.

Pebbles are not the desired color.

Remember that the pebbles are naturally multi-shade. If the color variation is not as expected, you can mix pebbles from different areas of the bag or bags to achieve a more varied look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
