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
A 4x25 KG bag is sufficient to make 1 square metre of mosaic
This allows some "spares" for choice.
SIZES
We recommend 50-70mm (or larger) for in-situ work
The smaller sizes are mainly for use in the pre-cast method of mosaic
construction.
