FAQs

What is the primary use for these 20mm Lydd pebbles?

These pebbles are ideal for various landscaping applications, including garden borders, paths, rockeries, patio beds, and general decorative accents.

Are the colours of the pebbles consistent?

As a natural product, there can be variations in colour between batches. The mix of brown, grey, and cream tones is characteristic, and colours may appear different when wet.

How are the pebbles supplied?

They are supplied in a convenient 20 kg polybag, making them easy to handle and transport for smaller projects.

What does '20mm' refer to?

The '20mm' indicates the approximate size of the individual pebbles, providing a consistent aggregate for landscaping purposes.

Can these pebbles be used for driveways?

While suitable for garden paths with moderate foot traffic, 20mm pebbles may not be the most durable or stable option for driveway surfaces that experience vehicle weight and turning.

Is there any preparation needed before laying the pebbles?

It is recommended to clear the area of weeds and debris. Laying a landscape fabric underneath is advisable to prevent weed growth and keep the pebbles separate from the soil.

What happens if I order a pallet quantity?

For pallet quantities, delivery is typically kerbside only. The carrier service is unable to lift items over fences or other barriers.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour distribution

This is a characteristic of natural stone. Mix pebbles from different bags during application to achieve a more uniform blend, or embrace the natural variation.

Pebbles appearing dusty

Rinse the pebbles thoroughly with water after laying them to remove any dust and enhance their natural colour.

Weed growth through pebbles

Ensure a high-quality landscape fabric was installed beneath the pebbles. If weeds appear, they can often be pulled out by hand or treated with a suitable weed killer, taking care not to dislodge excessive amounts of pebbles.

Difficulty spreading pebbles evenly

Use a rake to gently level the pebbles. For larger areas, a wheelbarrow and shovel can aid in efficient distribution.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances garden aesthetics with natural colours and textures.
  • Suitable for a wide range of landscaping applications.
  • Easy to handle and spread due to consistent size and polybag packaging.
  • Durable and low maintenance once installed.
  • Provides a natural, rounded finish for paths and borders.

Cons

  • Natural colour variations can occur between batches and when wet.
  • Kerbside delivery only for pallet quantities may limit placement options.
  • Requires a significant volume for large area coverage.
  • Potential for dust or residue from natural stone, requiring rinsing before use in some applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the area where the pebbles will be laid is free from weeds and debris. For pathways and borders, consider laying a landscape fabric beneath the pebbles to prevent weed growth and soil migration. Spread the pebbles evenly to the desired depth, typically 3-5 cm for decorative purposes and 5-7 cm for pathways.

Compatibility: These pebbles are compatible with most garden soil types and plants. They can be used in conjunction with landscape fabrics, edging systems, and other decorative garden elements. They are suitable for use in areas with moderate foot traffic, such as garden paths.

Care: Lydd pebbles are generally low maintenance. Rinsing the pebbles with water upon initial installation can remove any surface dust. Occasional sweeping or rinsing may be needed to maintain their appearance, especially in dusty environments. As a natural product, be aware that colours may change slightly when wet and may vary from the product images.
