Bags are sold at Mid Valley Rock when in stock, and special orders are possible; call to check. Black Polished Pebbles Bagged Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard. Black polished pebbles have a glossy shine that looks wet even when dry. They come bagged, in sizes from 1/2 inch up to 5 inches, so you can pick small stones for detail work or larger ones for bold accents. They are suitable for mosaic and are very popular in pondless water features, where water trickles over them and makes the black look even deeper. In a modern garden they add sharp contrast next to light gravel or concrete. ## Shine and size The polished finish gives these pebbles a strong gloss. Sizes run from 1/2 inch to 5 inches. Small sizes fill mosaics and tight spaces, larger ones make a statement in borders. ## Mosaics and pondless water features In a pondless water feature, water runs over the pebbles into a hidden basin. The black stones look glossy and dramatic. See [water feature ideas](https://midvalleyrock.com/ideas/water-features/). For mosaics, set smaller pebbles on edge in mortar to create patterns and borders. A band of black pebbles along a walkway or at the base of a wall also makes a clean drip edge under a roof line, catching rain splash so soil stays in the bed. ## Ordering and care Stock varies, so call for availability or ask about a special order. Buying bags lets you get exactly the amount a small project needs. Rinse pebbles after placing to remove dust. Keep them out of areas where leaves pile up, or plan to clean them now and then. ## Popular uses - Pondless water features - Pebble mosaics - Modern garden borders - Planter top dressing - Contrast bands in gravel ### Is it in the yard today?
