Pros And Cons
Pebbles are durable, sustainable and ecological-friendly; stable for environmental activity; they have splendid decorative properties; are able to be used in different compositions along with boulders and organic mulch.

How To Install
Installing small rocks within your garden is not a problem: stones are relatively light weight and are sold by kilos in bags. Prepare the soil – dig a trench for your future rockery (5-10 cm), put black polypropylene, make a sand bedding and pour water on it. Then, when the sand is dry, you can scatter stones on your future rockery, leaving free spaces for plants. When the stones are installed, you can slightly press them against the ground with rubber sledgehammer. The only possible way to clean the pebbles is to sweep it with brush or to blow the litter and leaves out with the help of special garden equipment. But despite all those facts, pebbles are amazing for creating bold and catchy designs. Look for some ideas below and choose your pebble décor!
