We are always searching for good stones for pebble mosaic. "Good" means well-shaped (flat, elliptical, rounded or flat-topped), of good colour, and hard durable stone types.The best way, of course, is to collect your own! But mosaicists will know the difficulties of hand collecting legally in the UK, not to mention the backache.Cobblestone Designs has been importing stones from the Far East, China and India for several years, primarily for our own use; but we also like to provide a service for other keen pebble workers and discerning garden designers.

The Pebbles We Offer Are Unavailable From Other Commercial Outlets.
We aim to have the best selection for shape and colour made at source - a service for which we pay premium rates.

All Of Our Pebbles Are Frost-Proof.
This is very important, given the nature of winters in the UK. Porous pebbles will absorb water and shatter in freezing conditions.

All Our Pebbles Are Unpolished.
Although polished stones are attractive for some purposes, we don't advise their use for pebble mosaic. The polish is achieved using a waxy coating which is detrimental to the BOND between the pebbles and the cement/sand mix or grout used for the base of the mosaic.


We are happy to send out samples of the materials we have in stock.
Due to annual stocktaking, some of the items listed above are now available at clearance prices.

COVERAGE
