Oyster Shingle 20mm

The 20mm Oyster Shingle is one of our most unique and colourful shingles, making them a favourite amongst our customers. These multi-faceted decorative stones are a budget-friendly way to decorate your garden, be it your back garden, at the front of your home, or to add a border around a pre-existing path!

The 20mm Oyster Shingle, also referred to as Lydd Pebbles consists of an attractive selection of colours, ranging from blues, whites and browns, to create a wonderful mixture of stones. This colour palette will look fitting no matter what kind of property or decorating. They will work well with the darker, redder tones of an old build, but also work seamlessly with colour, often mono-tone shades of a modern build. 

These stones are also available in a larger size. Click here to look at and purchase 40mm, Oyster Shingle.

20mm Oyster Shingle Features

  • Great for garden borders or features
  • Grey, Brown, Cream, and Blue-Grey shades
  • Derived from Marine Flint
  • Fish-friendly

Oyster Shingle 20mm for your Property

Although these Shingle are 20mm in size, due to their more rounded shape, we do not recommend you use them for a drive or pathway as they won't be able to lock in with each other link more angular stones can, and because of that, they will not be able to create a stable to drive or walk on.

This does not mean that you cannot use the Oyster Shingle to decorate your front garden, to create a truly eye-catching entrance. One excellent design idea you can consider is using paving slabs to create a walkway towards your front door and surrounding those pavers with Oyster Shingles to create a vintage, cottage-like look.

Furthermore, a significant reason why these stones are so popular is that they do not require any time and effort to maintain, making them ideal for those who want to decorate their garden, but not add to their workload. All you need to do is top the stones up every year to ensure that they look even.

Oyster Shingle 20mm for Garden

As well as being used for your front garden, you can also use Shingle for your garden. These stones will be an excellent and easy addition if you want to add more colours and textures to your garden. These versatile shingles can be used in a multitude of ways throughout your garden.

A popular method of using the Oyster Shingle is to use the borders for your garden, similar to what we mentioned before, they will make your garden pathways or patios look extra chic and fancy if they have borders consisting of these stones. 

Lastly, plants and plant beds in your garden can also be decorated with Oysters to make them into little decoration pieces.

This stone can be collected for free at one of our depots in Wimborne, Bournemouth or Dorchester, or these garden stones can be delivered nationally to anywhere in the UK.

You can use our Stone Calculator to work out how much of this stone you need - simply enter the measurements of your garden, and the depth at which you want to lay the stone and it will work out how much you need!

How to Lay Shingle For A Feature Area

Creating a feature area using the 20mm Oyster Shingle is a pretty basic project that you will be able to complete even without too much DIY experience! If you want the satisfaction of completing your garden project, then we have created a little guide to help you out.

Before purchasing anything, get a tape measure and measure out the area you want the feature area to be, and how deep you want it to be. Once all that has been determined, visit our website where our clever Quantity Calculator will work out how much base layer and Oyster Shingle you will need to cover your desired area. We always say that it's best practice to have room for at least 50mm of the base layer.

As mentioned in the previous step, you will need to have a base layer for your Oysters to lay on and to do that you will need  Limestone Type 1, also referred to as MOT Type 1, which is a graded, 40mm Limestone. 

It's finally time for you to start digging. Start hacking away at the area that had been designated earlier to a depth ranging from 50mm - 150mm, making sure to have enough room for 50mm's worth of Limestone, and 50mm's worth of your Oysters.

Now go ahead and the MOT Type 1 to the area, and again make sure it's 50mm deep at a minimum, which is what the depth needs to be for it to be effective. Any less than this can mean that your base is not stable enough.

We also advise that you install a layer of Weed fabric so you prevent the growth and spread of weeds through the feature area. We stock a wide range of sizes so you can choose the Weed membrane that is right for your garden.

Finally, once all those layers have been properly installed, you can start laying down your Oyster Shingle. Again, please make sure that you pour enough to cover at least 50mm in depth.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to our Decorative Stones being a naturally-sourced product, there will always be some variation from batch to batch, especially in terms of colour. On occasion, your garden stones may be very dusty; we recommend hosing your new stones down to wash them and reveal their true colour.
