Decorative stones are a timeless and low-maintenance solution for enhancing any outdoor space. Whether you’re designing a modern landscape or adding rustic charm to your garden, the right stone can dramatically transform your space. Here’s how to choose the best option for your needs.

1. Consider the Purpose

Are you creating a walking path, covering flower beds, or outlining garden borders? For walkways, choose medium to large stones like pebbles or gravel with a smooth finish. For borders or flower beds, smaller stones or crushed gravel provide excellent coverage and weed control.

2. Choose the Right Size

Stone size affects both appearance and functionality. For example:

  • Pebbles (1-3cm): Best for paths and garden decoration

  • Gravel (16-32mm): Ideal for driveways, edging, and ground cover

  • Larger decorative rocks: Work well as focal points or accents

3. Match the Color to Your Garden Theme

White Thasos, Fish Grey, or Dark River pebbles each create a unique look. White stones brighten shaded areas, while darker tones add depth. Use warm tones for rustic styles and cooler hues for modern gardens.

4. Think Long-Term

Natural stones from CHR. PEPPOS LTD are weather-resistant, easy to maintain, and do not lose their color over time — making them a smart, long-lasting investment.
