Clean River Pebble refers to naturally rounded, smooth stones that have been sourced from riverbeds and thoroughly washed to remove dirt, sand, and debris. These stones come out of the river a grey clour and over a short period of time when exposed to the air turn shades of brown, grey, and tan.

How to Use Clean River Stone
Prepare the Area
Clear the area of weeds, debris, and any other unwanted material. For garden beds or decorative areas, consider laying down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent weeds from growing through.
Create a Base Layer
If using for pathways, driveways, or areas that will experience foot or vehicle traffic, lay a base of crushed rock or gravel to provide stability and prevent the stones from shifting over time.
Spread the Stones
Distribute the Clean River Stone 20mm evenly over the desired area. For decorative applications, a depth of 50-100mm is typical, while for pathways or driveways, a thicker layer may be needed (100mm or more).
Level the Surface
Use a rake to level the stones and ensure an even distribution across the area.
Compaction
If using the stones for pathways or driveways, lightly compact them using a hand compactor or roller to ensure they stay in place and form a stable surface.
Maintenance
Clean River Stone 20mm requires little maintenance. However, you may need to top it up periodically to maintain the desired appearance and level.
Benefits of Clean River Stone 20mm
Aesthetic Appeal - The smooth, polished appearance and natural color tones create a sophisticated and elegant look, blending well with most landscape designs.
Low Maintenance- Unlike organic mulches, these stones do not decompose or require frequent replacements, making them a low-maintenance option for landscaping.
Weed Control - When used with a weed barrier, it can effectively suppress weed growth, reducing the need for chemical weed control.
Improved Drainage - The gaps between the stones allow water to flow easily, making it an excellent choice for areas that need to drain properly, such as garden beds, pathways, and French drains.
Durability - The stones are weather-resistant and long-lasting, able to withstand the elements without degrading or losing their appearance over time.
Temperature Regulation - The stones help keep the surrounding soil cooler in the summer by reflecting sunlight, which is especially beneficial for protecting plant roots.
Eco-friendly - Natural material that does not contribute to environmental degradation.
