Rainbow Cobbles

Rainbow Cobbles bring color in a small package. Each stone is 2 to 4 inches in size, white, with stripes of orange and red running through it. Cobbles are naturally rounded, so they are comfortable to handle and easy to spread. The striping shows best when the stones are clean or wet, which makes them a lively choice near water. Stop by and scoop up a handful to see the range of patterns.

White stones with orange and red stripes

The white base keeps these cobbles bright, and the orange and red striping gives each one its own look. Spread across a bed, they read as a light, warm mix.

At 2 to 4 inches, they are large enough to stay put and small enough to place by hand.

Streams, ponds and borders

Cobbles and pebbles are used in Asian-inspired design, ponds and streams. Rainbow Cobbles line a dry creek bed well and brighten the edge of a pond.

They also work as a border along a path or as a top layer around boulders. Tell staff if they will sit in water so they can confirm the fit.

Figuring out how much

Measure the length and width of the area and decide how deep you want the layer. Bring the numbers and staff will help you work out a quantity.

Stone is sold by weight. Ask how the cobbles are packaged when you call, and check that they are in the yard before you drive over.
