# Mexican Pebbles 3/8 Inch

Mexican Pebbles 3/8 are tiny, smooth beach pebbles that range from 3/8 to 5/8 inch, hand picked from beaches in Mexico and used for pot toppers, mosaics, fine borders and between stepping stones.

They suit small spaces and fine detail work; call the Sacramento yard to confirm they are in stock.

Mexican Pebbles 3/8 Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard.

Not every project needs a big stone. The 3/8 inch Mexican pebble is a tiny size, with stones ranging from 3/8 to 5/8 inch. Like their larger cousins, they are hand picked from beaches in Mexico, so each one is naturally smooth and rounded. The small size gives a fine, even texture that works well in tight spaces, containers and detailed designs where larger pebbles would look out of scale.

## Why choose the small size

Small pebbles fill gaps neatly and create a smooth, even surface. They are easy to spread by hand and settle well around plants.

The fine texture suits modern plantings, succulent pots and narrow borders along walks. For bolder stones, see the larger [Mexican beach pebbles](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/mexican-pebbles/).

## Ideas for tiny pebbles

Use them as a top dressing for potted plants, to fill joints between flagstone or pavers, or as a detail layer around a fountain.

They also work for pebble mosaics and small Asian-style garden accents. Combine them with larger pebbles or [cobbles](https://midvalleyrock.com/stone/cobbles-pebbles/) for layered texture.

A shallow tray of 3/8 inch pebbles also makes a tidy base under a birdbath or a pot saucer. They hide soil splash and look clean after watering.

## Buying and spreading

Measure your area and decide on depth before you visit. Staff can help you figure out how much you need.

A thin layer over landscape fabric keeps weeds down. Rinse after spreading to remove dust and show the natural color.
