How Do You Lay Mexican Beach Pebbles in San Diego, CA
Category Landscape Rock
Once your Mexican beach pebbles have arrived, the next step is to determine how to properly lay these attractive beach pebbles in your preferred location(s). Here’s what you need to know about installing and placing these durable and visually delightful landscaping accessories in your exterior spaces.

Get Your Supplies Together

Before you set your Mexican beach pebbles in place, take some time to gather everything you’ll need to complete this process. With beach pebbles, it’s better to have more rather than less. However, you can always order more later on if you run a bit short after laying the beach pebbles. You can even mix them with other types of decorative rocks. For example, Mexican beach pebbles contrast well with black polished pebbles and Caribbean beach pebbles, which have attractive natural imperfections to add even more visual interest.


The items you’ll need to get started include:

• A sturdy, heavy-duty shovel
• Several bigger buckets—5-gallon ones should do
• A wheelbarrow or vertical dolly
• Landscaping cloth or fabric

Transport Your Beach Pebbles to Where You’re Going to Lay Them

Mexican beach pebbles are usually delivered in sacks or bags. Start by putting the beach pebbles into your buckets. Next, use the wheelbarrow to transport the beach pebbles to the various spots where they’ll be laid.

Prepare the Area(s)

Make sure any areas where your Mexican beach pebble will be put down are properly dug out (if you want some added depth), cleared of any weeds or obstructions, and smoothed so the beach pebbles can lay flat and stay in place as you put them down. Preparation also includes putting the landscaping cloth or fabric down. Make sure it’s firmly in place in a way that allows it to be fully concealed once the beach pebbles are on top of it.

Dump Your Pebbles into Place & Do Some Arranging

Now comes the fun part. Dump your Mexican beach pebbles out slowly, just a little bit at a time. It’s a lot easier to arrange and adjust the beach pebbles in smaller amounts. This also gives you a chance to see how many layers you’ll need as you start laying the beach pebbles.

While it’s entirely up to you how many layers you prefer, the general recommendation with landscaping pebbles of this size is about 2–3 layers. But feel free to experiment as you shift things around. For instance, if you have shallower areas where beach pebbles are going, a single layer may be all you need. What you could do in this case, though, is overlap the beach pebbles to keep the landscaping fabric underneath fully concealed.

Take a Good Luck at What You Put Down

Lastly, take a moment to really look at your Mexican beach pebbles once everything has been set into place. This gives you a chance to determine if the beach pebbles are layered correctly and positioned in a way that works best for your desired look. The beauty of smaller landscaping stones like these is you can always make some adjustments here and there, such as adding white pebbles, to achieve the preferred aesthetics or hide any fabric or cloth that might still be visible.
