Mexican Beach Pebble Near Me

Buying mexican beach pebble locally

Mexican beach pebbles are smooth, naturally tumbled stones commonly used in modern and decorative landscaping. They are prized for their uniform shape, rich color, and polished appearance. Yards also call it Beach Pebbles or Black Beach Pebble. GoodGravel lists 124 suppliers that stock mexican beach pebble across 33 states. 40 of them deliver and 34 are pits or quarries that sell straight from the stockpile.

Expect mexican beach pebble to run $120 to $200 per ton at the yard, or $150 to $240 per cubic yard. A 10 ton load is $1200 to $2000 before delivery. Often sold bagged due to cost and import logistics. Pits sit at the low end of that range and landscape yards at the high end, since the yard bought it from a pit and trucked it in.

Mexican Beach Pebble works well for high-end landscape design and accent areas. Skip it for driveways and walkways. The upside: very attractive appearance and smooth texture. The catch: expensive.

Available in sizes from 1" to 3". Commonly black, charcoal, or dark gray. One cubic yard of mexican beach pebble weighs about 1.33 tons. A 3 inch layer over 500 square feet takes 4.6 cubic yards, which is close to 6.1 tons. Add 10 percent for settling and the odd low spot.

Press the location button at the top of the page and the list sorts by distance from you. Call the closest yard and ask for mexican beach pebble by name and by size. Ask if it is washed or still has fines in it, because that changes how it drains and how it packs. If the nearest yard is out, the next one is usually within 20 miles when you are near a city.

Under 2 tons, pickup with your own truck or a trailer is the cheaper route. A half ton pickup takes about a third of a yard per trip. Above 5 tons, delivery starts to pay for itself because the fee spreads over more stone. Either way, get the total price for your exact tonnage from two yards and compare those totals, not the price per ton.
