Garden rocks come in several varieties that are suitable for a range of purposes. You can use them for walkways, garden paths, around planters, in water features, and as decorative accents. Consider the theme of your landscape and the colour, texture, size, and shape of the rocks. Some options include:
• Pea gravel – Tiny, smooth assorted rocks in natural beige and grey stone shades
• Limestone screenings – A gravel-like filler to interlock patio and brick slabs and make walkways and trails
• Beach pebbles – Attractive, smooth grey pebbles used for a decorative touch
• Hydro clay – Ball-shaped clay pellets to add style and colour to your planters
• White stones – A sleek and modern decorative stone to place around patios and on lawns and gardens.
• River rocks – Small assorted rocks in natural colours that are perfect for water features, terrariums, or vases
How many bags of landscape rocks do I need?
Consider the area that needs to be covered, including length, width, and depth, and the size of the rocks you’ve chosen. Each package of rocks will be different, so the amount of rocks you’ll need will vary. For example, you’ll need a lot of limestone screenings to cover the areas around your pathway but not as much pea gravel if you’re filling up a few small planters.
