Scottish Pebbles, Sawn Tallow Paving
Our Scottish Pebbles, however, take the number one place for most popular decorative garden pebble!
Their stunning blend of warm, earthy tones — including mid-browns, brick reds, golds, and soft peach hues — creates a truly eye-catching effect. These colours become even more vibrant when the stones are wet, revealing a rich, deep palette that brings any outdoor space to life.
This premium granite is naturally sea-worn and smoothly rounded, sourced straight from the Scottish Highlands. Its local origin makes it a more eco-friendly choice, as it hasn’t been imported from overseas. Plus, it’s fish-friendly — ideal for enhancing ponds and other water features.
These pebbles are available in many different sizes (including cobbles): 8-14mm, 14-20mm, 20-30mm, 30-50mm, 50-80mm and 80-120mm. The most popular sizes are 20-30mm and 30-50mm, which make a great addition to a water feature or pond.
Green Slate Paddlestones
Slate & Paddlestones
This natural slate features a flat, angular shape with a rustic finish, giving it a beautifully authentic look. Quarried in North Wales, it’s an eco-friendlier option thanks to its shorter delivery distance. It’s also fish-friendly and lime-free, making it a safe and sustainable choice for ponds and water features. Plus, it's made from recycled materials — a win for both your garden and the environment.
In contrast, our Paddlestones are from the riverbeds of Scotland, but still enjoy the same fish-friendly properties and the fact they are recycled stones too. These Scottish stones are much rounder and smoother in finish and typically measure around 40-75mm in size; making a great statement feature.
