Pebble pools

A pebble pool is used as the water basin for many designs of water feature. The pebble pool is simply dug into the ground and covered with decorative pebbles. This method is used for a lot of granite and stainless steel water features that have the appearance that the water feature has grown out of the ground. It gives a complete in built look to your garden and helps the water feature blend into its surroundings. The pebble pool allows the feature to sit in harmony with the plants and shrubs nearby.

Pebble pool

The pebble pool is available in numerous sizes ranging from the smaller 60cm diameter versions up to 90cm diameter versions. If space is limited or a peculiar size, rectangular pebble pools are also available. The pebble pool consists of a PVC base (bucket) and a lid. The lid of the pebble pool can either be produced from reinforced glass fibre or resin, or from galvanised steel. The galvanised steel version is usually specified if the water feature is either heavy (such as a granite sphere) or needs to be bolted down onto the pebble pool lid.
