Mulching with pebbles

Mulching is something more gardeners are doing in the garden. Basically it involves adding a layer of material over the top of your soil to aid with water retention. This means less watering which saves time and also water supplies. Not everyone has an endless supply of water or the enthusiasm to maintain lawns and pebbles are a great alternative, particularly in naturally dry areas.
Weeding in garden beds is greatly reduced. It is quite easy to pull the few weeds that attempt to grow among the pebbles. As the plants mature and fill up the planting spaces there is less room for weeds to find a place to grow.
To stop the grass from coming up through the pebble mulch paths we have found that a heavy layer of newspaper and then a layer of plastic or weed mat on top works very well. The newspapers and the plastic help to retain moisture, another important reason for mulching. On top of this plastic the pebbles that were recently in the planting holes are spread in a thick layer. Larger flat rocks are used as edging.
Using our Decor Pebble range of imported decorative pebbles presents a great source of pebbles that can be used for mulching. In addition, given the extensive range of decorative pebbles, your garden is guaranteed to look great.

Practical landscaping with Décor Pebble’s Australian Nature’s Stone




In response to pragmatic landscapers increasingly creating designs that use sustainable materials and which are easier to maintain, DécoR Pebble introduces a new range of Australian Nature’s Stone decorative pebbles. DécoR Pebble’s Nature’s Stone range has the largest range of decorative pebbles available in bulk. Australian Nature’s Stone is available in different sizes, ranging from 7mm river pebbles to 600mm plus landscaping rocks, which are sourced from different parts of Australia. These stones and pebbles are obtained under licence from mining by-products and old non-viable river and creek beds, only where their mining does not cause harm to the ecosystem.

Integrating pebbles and stones into garden design presents a phenomenal assortment of colours, textures and shapes. Using Australian Nature’s Stone in your designs is a great way to add visual details and reflect the beauty of the Australian landscape whilst using sustainable materials.
