What are landscaping pebbles used for?

Landscaping pebbles provide excellent ground cover in gardens, soften the edges of pathways, and offer an inexpensive way to pave large areas. Smooth stones can be used as a decorative touch in potted plants, ponds and some aquariums.

Landscaping pebbles come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors to coordinate and complement every decor. High-traffic areas benefit from man-made crushed rock, while polished landscape stones function well in low-traffic areas. Landscape pebbles require little maintenance when installed, especially when installed on 2 to 3 inches of gravel. Most home improvement stores and landscape supply yards sell a variety of pebbles for both commercial and home use.
