Installation Depth Guide — Cubic Yard Coverage for 1/4" Rainbow Pebbles
| Depth | Coverage per Cubic Yard | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5″ | ~600 sq ft | Too shallow |
| 1″ | ~300 sq ft | Not recommended |
| 1.5″ | ~200 sq ft | Minimum depth |
| 2″ | ~150 sq ft | Recommended |
| 2.5″ | ~120 sq ft | Ideal depth |
| 3″ | ~100 sq ft | Usually unnecessary |
| 4″ | ~90 sq ft | Excessive |
Note: A typical installation depth is 1.5–2 inches for this rock, which provides good coverage for most applications. Installing at 2.5 inches can offer added durability and longer-lasting coverage, especially in higher-use areas. Depths less than 1.5 inches may allow weed barrier or soil to become visible. When in doubt, test a small section first.
Product details, what you should know
- Sizing: Primarily ¼" material. Some pieces may exceed ¼", and the material will include smaller particles and fines as part of the natural mix.
- Cleanliness: Unwashed material with a light presence of fines (typically less than 5%). Fines from production, handling and transport are normal.
- Appearance: Smooth, naturally rounded pebbles featuring a vibrant natural mix of red, pink, gray, green, and cream tones. Color may vary slightly between loads.
- History: Material has remained generally consistent in size and color over time. The natural mix of tones is typical of this stone, with minor variation between loads as expected with any naturally sourced river pebble. Occasionally some loads may lean heavier in certain colors, but the overall variety is always present.
- Also known as: Commonly referred to as river rock or beach pebbles.
¼″ Rainbow Pebbles are a great pick when you want color and character in your landscape. The smaller size makes them especially popular for tighter spaces, potted plants, and filling in around garden features. Keep in mind these are naturally rounded river pebbles, not a polished stone, so the colors are more subtle and muted than they may appear in photos — still beautiful, just naturally so. As with all smooth rounded pebbles, we don't recommend them for walkways, driveways or RV pads as they tend to shift under weight.
