How deep should pebbles be?

The recommended depth depends on use: 30-50mm for decorative areas, 50-70mm for feature beds. Deeper coverage provides better ground coverage and lasts longer. Our calculator lets you adjust depth to see how it affects the total amount needed.

How much does a tonne of pebbles cover?

At 50mm depth, one tonne of pebbles covers approximately 12.5 square metres. At 30mm depth, it covers around 20 square metres. Coverage varies slightly by stone size and shape.
