1-2" Mexican Beach Pebbles
Description
1-2" Mexican Beach Pebbles are a premium decorative stone and one of the most visually stunning options available for high-end landscaping projects. Their smooth, naturally polished surface makes them a perfect choice for water features, Zen gardens, potted plants, garden beds, and upscale xeriscaping. With their cool blue-gray and sage green tones that deepen dramatically to rich charcoal and dark forest green when wet, these pebbles bring an unmatched depth and elegance that truly transforms any space they're used in.
True Sizing Note: Like all Mexican Beach Pebbles, our 1″–2″ designation follows a traditional industry grading scale. In practice, these pebbles measure approximately 2–3″ — so you can expect a beautifully bold, statement-making stone.

Installation Depth Guide — Cubic Yard Coverage for 1-2″ Mexican Beach Pebbles
| Depth | Coverage per Cubic Yard | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1″ | ~300 sq ft | Too shallow |
| 2″ | ~150 sq ft | Not recommended |
| 3″ | ~100 sq ft | Minimum depth |
| 3.5″ | ~90 sq ft | Recommended |
| 4″ | ~80 sq ft | Ideal depth |
| 5″ | ~60 sq ft | Usually unnecessary |
| 6″ | ~50 sq ft | Excessive |
Note: A typical installation depth is 3–3.5 inches for this rock, which provides good coverage for most applications. Installing at 4 inches can offer added durability and longer-lasting coverage, especially in higher-use areas. Depths less than 3 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 1"–2" material. Some pieces may exceed 2", 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 polished pebbles in cool blue-gray and sage green tones. Colors deepen significantly when wet, revealing rich charcoal and dark forest green hues. Color may vary slightly between loads.
- History: Material has remained generally consistent in size and color over time, with natural variation typical of quarried stone.
- Also known as: Commonly referred to as beach pebbles or river rock.
These are a step up in size from our 1/2"-1" Mexican Beach Pebbles and carry the same stunning color transformation from cool gray-blue dry to deep, rich green and charcoal when wet. Worth noting — the actual average size tends to run closer to 1-2″, so keep that in mind when planning your project. As with all decorative pebbles, we don't recommend them for driveways or RV pads..
