BEACH PEBBLES

Why We Love Beach Pebbles for Homes in Miami & South Florida

Your backyard beautification project won’t be complete without attention to the little details. You may spend a lot of your time designing the space and taking care of the large, important structures first, but this doesn’t mean ignoring the details that help you reach your goal of a polished end product. A great way to fill in space while making the area more attractive at the same time is through the strategic use of beach pebbles.

Beach pebbles are a good match for any landscape project in South Florida because they are streamlined enough for a modern space and natural enough for a more freeform design. They can be used as an attractive way to fill in gaps or define entertainment spaces. With the variety of beach pebbles available, finding the perfect type for your project can be tricky. Paying attention to the texture, color, and size of the pebbles and enlisting the assistance of someone knowledgeable about yard design can help you create the backyard oasis of your dreams. 

What Projects Should Be Considered For Beach Pebbles? 

Any type of landscaping project can benefit from the use of beach pebbles in the design. Loose beach pebbles are commonly used for pathways and in gardens instead of mulch, pine straw, or gravel. This creates an upscale look for your outdoor space. In Miami we also often see Beach pebbles incorporated into solid paths using concrete, resulting in beautiful additions to fountains and decorative ponds. Due to the smooth nature of beach pebbles, you can walk across them in bare feet. South Florida homeowners with pools often use beach pebbles as part of the yard design surrounding the pool deck since beach pebbles are less likely to be displaced in the pool when compared to pea gravel or mulch.

Color Variety of Beach Pebbles & Stones

Although synthetic beach pebbles can be found in various colors, authentic beach pebbles are popular because they are found naturally and blend well with most landscape designs, especially in Miami and the rest of South Florida. Mexican beach pebbles are a common selection because they are a neutral gray with subtle variations that work well with other design elements. St. Lucia white river rock or solid black beach pebbles still provide a neutral look but stand out more against other design elements. For a pop of color, go with red pebbles or try the subtle salmon color of sunrise pebbles. Tigerstripe polished pebbles offer one of the most exotic and unique options. 

Texture Variety of Different Pebbles

Your color choice isn’t the only selection to make when designing your space using beach pebbles. Different varieties of beach pebbles are finished with different textures. Some stones, such as Mexican beach pebbles, are smooth and have been polished by natural means. Polished beach pebbles are sent through additional processing to give them a shiny texture. Pebbles that have been highly polished keep their shine longer, even when constantly exposed to the elements.
