Decorative gravel

The decorative gravel covers various products made from natural materials such as limestone, granite, slate or even marble. The gravels can be crushed or rounded, with a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors: white, black, red... These decorative gravels are perfect for mulching but also for creating attractive and durable spaces.

To make your project easier, the decorative gravel is offered in several formats:

• Bag: ideal for small quantities, the bag of gravel allows easy transport and occasional use.
• Big bag: for larger quantities, the big bag can hold up to one tonne of gravel.
  

Each product benefits from suitable packaging, guaranteeing the best quality for your project, whether for decoration or for construction.

The choice of decorative gravel depends on several essential criteria:

• Use: depending on whether you want gravel for a path, a flower bed or a driveway, sizes and materials vary (pebbles, chippings, crushed gravel).
• Colour: white, black, red or beige, the choice of colour strongly influences the look of your space.
• Packaging: bags or big bags depending on the quantity needed.
• Stock and availability : make sure the product is in the store or on the web page before ordering.

Our expert advice will help you find the best value for money and select suitable accessories such as panels or the tools needed for installation.

The price of decorative gravel varies depending on the material, size, packaging (bag, big bag) and quantity ordered.

Prices start from €10.50 per 25 kg bag for NOIR EBANO crushed gravel and between €80 and €125 for crushed gravel in big bags.

Our prices are competitive and include flexible delivery solutions for your convenience.

• The bag remains the practical solution, easy to transport for small areas.
• The big bag offers an advantageous price for large-quantity orders.
• Delivery adapts to your project, with a fast and reliable service.

Decorative gravels mainly come in several types, each with its own advantages:

• Crushed gravel: This type of gravel comes from the crushing of natural stones such as limestone, granite or slate. It offers good stability for paths, driveable areas and decorative mulching. Its angular shape provides good hold on the ground.

• Decorative pebbles (or rounded gravel): Rounded and smooth, pebbles are perfect for decorating gardens, flower beds or pool surrounds. They provide a natural and aesthetic effect, often in white, black or multicolor. More rounded than crushed gravel, they are suited to pedestrian areas and landscaping where aesthetics are paramount.

Each type of decorative gravel has its own specifics: strength, aesthetics, ease of installation and maintenance, to suit all your projects depending on price, availability and packaging (bag, big bag).

L’entretien des graviers décoratifs est simple mais essentiel pour garantir leur longévité et leur beauté :

• Nettoyage régulier : Utilisez un souffleur ou un balai pour enlever les feuilles, poussières et débris sur les graviers.
• Désherbage : Le paillage avec un feutre géotextile sous les graviers permet de limiter la pousse des mauvaises herbes.
• Remise en place : Après plusieurs mois, il est conseillé de remuer les graviers ou d’ajouter un nouveau sac de gravier pour compenser les pertes dues au vent ou au passage.
• Rincer les galets ou gravillons : Un simple lavage à l’eau claire redonne de l’éclat aux graviers décoratifs, notamment les graviers blancs ou en marbre.

Ces conseils d’entretien garantissent une décoration durable et un espace extérieur toujours propre.

To ensure the stability and durability of your decorative gravel, it is
essential to prepare the surface properly and choose the right materials to place
under the gravel.

The gravel stabilizer panel is the ideal solution for stabilizing crushed gravel
or decorative pebbles on your paths, terraces or parking areas. This panel, made of robust materials, is laid directly on a leveled base to stop the gravel from moving or sinking into the ground.

Under the stabilizer panel, we generally recommend placing:

• A layer of crushed gravel or fine gravel to ensure good drainage and a solid base.
• A geotextile felt : add link to prevent weeds from growing while letting water through.
• Sometimes, a layer of sand or fine crushed stone for perfect leveling.

This stabilizer panel makes it possible to optimize the installation of decorative gravel, while making maintenance easier and reducing the quantity needed.

In store or online, we offer gravel stabilizer panels suited to all types of projects, with excellent value for money, immediate availability in stock and fast delivery.

The volume of decorative gravel needed depends on the area to be covered and the desired thickness:

• For a driveway or a pedestrian path, allow approximately 3 to 5 cm thickness.
• For decorative mulching in the garden, a thickness of 5 to 7 cm is recommended.

For a bed of fine gravel or decorative gravel with a thickness of 3 cm, here is the average consumption depending on the packaging:

• 1 bag of 25 kg covers approximately 0.5 m
• Big Bag ¼ m³ (14 bags) = 7 m²
• Big Bag ½ m³ (i.e. 30 bags of 25 kg) = 15 m²
• Big Bag 1 m³ (i.e. 60 bags of 25 kg) = 33 m²

📏 Remember: 1 m² at 3 cm thickness = approx. 50 kg of gravel

Practical example:

For a project of 50 m² with a thickness of 5 cm, allow approximately:

• 0.05 to 0.07 tonne/m²
  → i.e. 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes depending on the type of gravel.

Our teams will assist you in store or by phone to adapt the right
packaging (bag, big bag or bulk) to your area, the desired thickness and the type of gravel (crushed, rounded, decorative...).
