Everything You Need to Know About Asian Mix Cobbles

21-05-2024

Mainland Aggregates proudly introduces the Asian Mix Cobbles, a premium blend of granite, limestone, and marble that adds a unique touch to any landscaping project. With their naturally smooth and rounded finish, these 100-170mm cobbles are not only visually appealing but also incredibly versatile, making them an ideal choice for a variety of outdoor applications.

Why Asian Mix Cobbles Stand Out

Asian Mix Cobbles distinguish themselves in our range of pebbles and cobbles due to their diverse array of colours and textures. Each cobble features a blend of shades and tones that complement a wide range of design schemes, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into existing landscapes or inspire new creations. Whether you’re planning a sophisticated walkway, a rustic garden border, or a striking gabion basket feature, these cobbles adapt beautifully to your creative vision.

Uses for Asian Mix Cobbles

These decorative aggregates are exceptionally versatile and can be used in various ways:

  • Borders: Their varied colours make them perfect for defining garden or walkway edges, adding a natural yet refined finish.

  • Gabion Baskets: When used in gabion baskets, these cobbles not only provide structural support but also enhance aesthetic appeal.

  • General Landscaping: Incorporate them into your landscaping designs to create texture and contrast.

Are They Easy to Maintain?

Maintaining Asian Mix Cobbles is simple. They require minimal upkeep beyond occasional raking to remove debris and level uneven areas. For more intensive cleaning, they can be power washed during the summer months to prevent waterlogging, ensuring they retain their beauty throughout the year.

Composition

Crafted from a blend of hard granite, limestone, and marble, Asian Mix Cobbles are tumbled to achieve their distinctive smooth and rounded appearance. However, it's important to note that these cobbles are not suitable for water features that support fish or delicate aquatic plants. The natural minerals in the stones can alter water chemistry, potentially harming aquatic life.

Fish-Friendly Alternative: Rainbow Sandstone Cobbles

For those seeking a similar aesthetic but needing a solution safe for aquatic environments, Mainland Aggregates Ltd offers Rainbow Sandstone Cobbles. These 100-150mm cobbles are sourced from the Far East and feature a beautiful range of golds, beiges, mauves, and terracotta tones. The unique striping of these stones is particularly effective in rockeries and water features, adding both colour and texture without affecting the delicate balance required for healthy aquatic ecosystems.

In Summary

Whether you’re enhancing a garden path, constructing a new border, or filling a gabion basket, Asian Mix Cobbles offer a durable and attractive option. For those with specific needs regarding fish-friendly materials, our Rainbow Sandstone Cobbles provide a beautiful and safe alternative. Explore the possibilities with Mainland Aggregates Ltd and bring your landscaping dreams to life with our extensive range of quality cobbles.
