How much area does one bag cover?

A 30 lb bag holds about 45 stones of 1 to 2 inches, which covers a small planter or a narrow border strip. For a full bed, plan on several bags and measure the area first.

Will the white color stay white outdoors?

The stones are natural white, not dyed, so they will not fade. They will, however, collect soil, pollen and algae over time and need occasional rinsing to stay bright.

Can I use these pebbles as mulch around plants?

Yes. A layer of pebbles suppresses weeds and holds moisture, and the smooth stones are easy to move aside. Keep the layer thin near stems so water and air still reach the soil.

Are the stones safe to walk on barefoot?

The rounded, smooth shape is comfortable underfoot, but loose pebbles shift and scatter on paths. They suit borders and planters better than high-traffic walkways.

How do these compare with crushed white gravel?

These are larger, rounded and smooth, giving a cleaner decorative look. Crushed gravel locks together better on paths and stays put, while rounded pebbles are easier to handle and better for pots.
