Mexican Beach Pebbles

These small stones are from Mexico and look stunning just about anywhere. Mexican Beach Pebbles are perfect for the bottom of your garden river bed, or in a decorative rock garden itself. Each stone is smooth and round. Together they create a soft gray look for your riverbed.

 

Mossy Rock

These limestone boulders come in many sizes and are home to a vibrant green moss. Together, the rough stone and plush moss make any garden space look more natural and older. Mature gardens are a luxury and when you add some of these mossy rocks you’ll see why.

 

Petrified Wood

 

Petrified wood is a naturally unique rock that is actually fossilized organic matter. It maintains the interesting texture from the original wood, plus its life as a rock has given it even more texture and color. You can find a wide variety of petrified wood including rustic reds and dark black pieces.

 

Granite Boulders

 

Granite in your garden serves a different role than the granite in your kitchen. It lasts longer and looks rougher than counter-top granite. These large granite boulders will look right at home in natural, wild garden spaces and at the edge of ponds.

 

Turquoise Boulders

 

Have you ever seen stones in a more surprising shade? Turquoise boulders bring something special to your garden, especially if you’re trying to create a tropical or Asian-inspired look. The light green reminds us of sophisticated jade and it will look just a luxurious in your yard.

 

Lace Rock

 

Lace rock has many small holes, like its namesake. You may have seen this natural volcanic rock in a pet store. This is a dynamic choice of rock to place in your pond or large specimens of lace rock can make a standout centerpiece in your rock garden.
