San Pablo Blue Pebbles

The blue color is what makes San Pablo Blue pebbles special. These 1 to 3 inch pebbles have been smoothed by water into rounded shapes, and their blue tone brings a cool, calm feel to a garden. They are a natural choice when you want a dry creek bed to read like water, or when you want a border that ties in with a pool, blue pots or gray siding.

Color and size

San Pablo Blue pebbles are blue in color and water-smoothed. Tones vary a little from stone to stone.

At 1 to 3 inches, they are big enough to see from a distance but small enough to spread easily.

The smooth, water-worn surface makes them pleasant to handle and easy to rake into place. The rounded shape also lets water move through them in a creek bed.

Using blue pebbles

Line a dry creek bed with them to suggest water. They also look good around ponds and in water features.

As a border, they pair well with gray and blue stone, like bluestone flagstone.

Blue pebbles also make a calm accent around a birdbath or at the foot of a boulder. A small patch goes a long way, since the color is less common in a garden.

Install and upkeep

Lay fabric under the pebbles, then spread them one or two layers deep. Add larger cobbles for a more natural creek look.

Rinse now and then to keep the blue bright. Bring your measurements to the yard and staff can help size the order.
