The naturally varied colours and tumbled finish make Brisbane Tuff Pebbles a distinctive alternative to more uniform decorative stones.

To calculate how much Brisbane Tuff Stone Pebbles you need, measure the length and width of the area where the stones will be placed.

Next, determine the desired depth of the stones. Once you have your length, width and depth measurements, you can use our cubic metre calculator above or calculate the volume manually using the following formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Depth

Recommended Depth: As a general guide, we recommend laying decorative stones at a depth of 40–50mm. The ideal depth will depend on your project, the size of the stones and the look you want to achieve.

Brisbane Tuff Stone has mould-resistant properties, making it less likely to suffer from mould-related discolouration when compared to other stone varieties, but it is not guaranteed never to suffer from mould damage.

If you place your stones in an area that is waterlogged regularly, or you leave wet leaf litter sitting on your stones for extended periods of time, any stone would be susceptible to mould damage. To keep these stones in their best condition, we recommend keeping your space tidy from debris.

Proper preparation helps create a neat, long-lasting decorative finish. To install Brisbane Tuff Stone Pebbles, we recommend following these steps:
1. Prepare and level the area.
2. Install weed mat to help minimise weed growth.
3. Install garden edging to keep the stones neatly contained.
4. Spread the Brisbane Tuff Pebbles evenly to the desired depth.
5. Rake and position individual stones as required to achieve an even, natural-looking finish.

Brisbane Tuff is a volcanic rock formed more than 226 million years ago from volcanic ash and rock fragments that were compacted and welded together by intense heat. It is a form of welded ignimbrite and is naturally found in localised areas around Brisbane. Brisbane Tuff has been used as a building stone throughout Brisbane for generations and can be seen in historic buildings, churches, retaining walls, kerbing and other structures across the city.

Brisbane Tuff has played an important role in the history and development of Brisbane. The stone was extensively quarried around Brisbane and used in many historic buildings, walls, kerbing, steps and other structures.

Notable examples of Brisbane Tuff construction include the Commissariat Store, St Stephen's Cathedral, All Saints' Anglican Church and other historic buildings and structures throughout the city. Brisbane Tuff is now rare and in limited supply, making it a unique way to incorporate a genuine piece of Brisbane's geological and architectural heritage into a landscape.
