Bulk Pebble Order - Any Suggestions?

Nitefly · 16 Jul 2020 at 13:40

Hello

Can anyone recommend a decent place to get some garden pebbles? We’re trying to spruce up a fairly ugly concrete area and think pebbles would brighten it up. Obviously you need loads and then delivery is an arse.

Just thought I’d check in with the regulars. Cheers!

Beach and digger?

most big garden centres will have them in big bags. Heavy though!

Local builders merchants tend to be ok for stuff like this, they tend to start at around 50ish quid for a big bag which is around 800kg i think

If you're needing more than 1 bag delivery will usually be free and pretty quick from a builders merchant

Thanks for the replies I’ll check out the links.

Based in Bristol, terraced house with no front garden and nowhere really to store the pebbles, so a mega-bag delivery is probably out as we couldn’t get it through the house. Multiple smaller bags would be ideal.

Work out how much you'll need you'll usually be surprised how much, a small bag of gravel really doesn't go far at all.

When i put a plastic shed base down i filled it in with gravel and an 8' x 6' base took like 20 bags of the gravel from B&Q

I've used Stone Warehouse several times and they were good:

One of the orders I had was in 20kg bags which are available depending on what type of stone you are after.

I’ve had two deliveries of slate from these people in 20kg bags. Very good communication and delivery was on time.

Used Wickes for ours, they came in the small bags rather than the massive bags they need the lorry crane things for.
