Am looking at using white pebbles in our 'low maintenance drought resistant' garden we are designing. Which pebbles in your opinion look/work better - the gravel look or medium or large white pebbles. The gravel is about half the price but we are willing to pay more if the pebbles will look better. I look forward to your opinions!?

If you have a formal looking garden with a bit of space between the plants, then the pebbles will stand out and look good. If you have a more bushy garden where the ground is not really a feature piece then go for the cheaper gravel. Adrian T.

I couldn't find any locally where I am and then my bro said a mate with a farm was selling pebbles from a site on his farm and he brought me one cubic metre for $150. plus a couple wheel barrow loads of larger football and smaller ones to do a riverbed look. I think he got mates rates.... Did I get a good deal?
Re: White pebbles or white gravel? 9Feb 02, 2009 9:54 am Thanks guys - the large pebbles are $29 per 20kg bag retail cost and it takes about 3 bags to cover 1m2. I found a wholesaler who can do a deal for $12.50 a bag. The gravel is more like $150 per m3. Looking for advice on whether this variation in tile colour is acceptable.
