Use them to top pots, protect soil in garden beds, define pathways, or create a modern rock garden look with minimal maintenance. JACK Rocks & Pebbles includes landscaping pebbles, larger rocks, chips and decorative finishes, plus gabion options for feature walls, edging and seating.

Quick Selection Checklist

1) Where are you using it?

• Pots, terrariums, small styling: Landscaping Pebbles, Glass Gems, Mirror Chips
• Garden beds and borders: Landscaping Pebbles or Landscaping Rocks
• Walkways and paths: Landscaping Chips (or pebbles for a softer look)

2) What finish do you want?

• Soft, natural and rounded: Landscaping Pebbles
• Bold contrast and statement stones: Landscaping Rocks
• Sharper, structured look: Landscaping Chips
• Decorative accent pop: Glass Gems or Mirror Chips

3) How “set and forget” do you want it?

For high-traffic or windy zones, pick a heavier fill and consider edging to keep material in place.

4) Are you building a gabion?

Use gabion-specific panels and accessories, and choose rock fill that suits the cage size and the look you want.

Practical Tips for Better Results

• Prep first: remove weeds and level the area before laying any rocks or chips.
• Define edges: edging helps keep stones contained, especially on paths and borders.
• Depth matters: spread evenly to a consistent depth for better coverage and a cleaner finish.
• Mix textures intentionally: use larger rocks for focal points and smaller pebbles for fill.
