I love to see pebbles in a garden. They are so much nicer than concrete blocks, concrete slabs or any other type of concrete for that matter!

But how should pebbles be chosen? Is is like going to a wallpaper shop and choosing the nicest pattern and the nicest colour? Well it could be. But the first thing is to find out if a  local stone is available. It is likely to harmonize with your soil but more than this it gives a uniqueness and sense of belonging to your garden: granite in a granite district; slate in a slate district, flint in a flint district. This is the sustainable choice, the green choice and the best choice. Go for it!
