Garden paths are no less important than any other garden décor and styling, they help to create an ambience and polish your garden style. Pebble paths are a great option for a garden design close to nature, and pebbles are a fantastic idea! First of all, pebbles are easy to find, to handle and remind of water bodies like rivers, lakes and even seas. Second, it’s very easy to make patterns using them, any that you like – from swirls to flowers. The best idea is to put pebbles into concrete: the path would be stable and comfortable for walking. But if you like, you may just make some borders and just put pebbles on the ground, such a path will look unusual and all the pebbles will be kept in place with tall borders. Using pebbles for landscaping in your garden is a very natural idea that has several advantages comparing to other materials. Let’s consider them all to find out if they fit your garden space or not.
Pros And Cons
Pebbles are durable, sustainable and eco-friendly; stable for environmental activity; they have splendid decorative properties – we’ve already stated some patterned garden path ideas above; they are able to be used in different compositions along with boulders and organic mulch.
The disadvantage is that pebbles can be washed out during heavy rains; they are difficult to remove litter, dead leaves and weed in between them, they can be taken away while walking on them and it’s a bit harder to walk on pebbles than paved areas (especially if you are wearing heels).

How To Install
Installing small rocks within your garden is not a problem: stones are relatively light weight and are sold by kilos in bags. Prepare the soil – dig a trench for your future rockery (5-10 cm), put black polypropylene, make a sand bedding and pour water on it. Then, when the sand is dry, you can scatter stones on your future rockery, leaving free spaces for plants. When the stones are installed, you can slightly press them against the ground with rubber sledgehammer. The only possible way to clean the pebbles is to sweep it with brush or to blow the litter and leaves out with the help of special garden equipment. But despite all those facts, pebbles are amazing for creating bold and catchy designs. Look for some ideas below and choose your pebble décor to make your garden ultimate!
