How to Choose the Right Stones for Garden

When selecting your stones, consider:

  • Colour: match with existing paving or plants.
  • Size: smaller stones suit walkways; larger for decorative borders.
  • Function: drainage, visual appeal, or both.
  • Maintenance: lighter colours may need occasional rinsing.

How Much Do You Need?

Use our free Gravel & Stone Calculator to estimate how many bags you’ll need for your space.

Quick tip: For example, if you want to cover 1m2 (1 meter x 1 meter) of your area of depth 50mm, you will need approximately 100kg of pebbles or gravel. On the other side, the depth of 30mm will need 60 kilograms. However, we do recommend a depth of at least 50mm for better results.

FAQs

What are the best decorative stones for garden design?
Decorative stones like Cotswold chippings, slate, and white pebbles add colour and texture to flowerbeds, driveways, and paths.
Which colour stones are best for my garden — white, grey, or black?
White stones brighten and make small spaces feel larger, grey gives a clean modern look, and black stones create bold contrast around planting and water features.
How do I use large stones in my garden layout?
Use large stones as focal points, stepping features, informal seating, or to anchor borders. Combine with smaller gravel or pebbles for contrast and stability.
What size stones should I use for borders and pathways?
Choose 10–20 mm stones for borders and paths, and 20–40 mm for driveways or decorative ground cover. Smaller stones compact better, while larger ones improve drainage.

How do I stop weeds growing through my garden stones?
