There's no "Add to Cart" button on Beach Pebbles Direct — every order, from one pallet to a full flatbed, starts as a quote request. You submit the request online or call 904-685-9550, get firm pricing back (currently $1,042.50 to $2,195 per pallet depending on color), and pay by invoice once the order is confirmed.
If you've never bought bulk landscape stone before, that process can feel unfamiliar compared to clicking "buy now" on a bag of mulch. Here's exactly how it works, what it costs at today's prices, and what to expect once you submit a request.
Why isn't there a checkout button on the site?
Because pricing isn't the same for every order. Freight is quoted by weight and distance — a single 1.5-ton pallet ships LTL with curbside unloading, while four or more pallets ship flatbed, and the per-pallet price drops once you're ordering more than three. Add in that Beach Pebbles Direct runs two yards (Jacksonville at 7643 Gate Parkway, and Miami) and also ships into the Southeast and the Caribbean, and a single fixed "shipping rate" at checkout would either overcharge nearby customers or undercharge far-away ones. Beach Pebbles Direct has sold stone this way since 2016, by the pallet, with freight and volume pricing worked out before you pay.
How do you actually request a quote?
Two ways: fill out the form on the request-a-quote page, or call 904-685-9550 (that line takes calls only, not texts). Either way, have three things ready: your delivery zip code, which color and size you want, and roughly how many pallets. If you're not sure how many pallets you need, a rough rule of thumb is that one pallet covers about 150 square feet at a standard 2-inch depth for the 1.5-ton colors, or about 140 square feet for the 1.4-ton polished colors — so a typical 10×15-foot bed (150 sq ft) usually needs just one pallet.
What happens after you submit the request?
You'll get pricing back that reflects the live product price plus freight to your zip code, along with the shipping method — LTL curbside for orders under four pallets, flatbed for four or more. Once you confirm the color, size, and quantity, an invoice is sent and the order is scheduled as soon as it's paid. There's no separate "processing" step beyond that; the quote is the order confirmation once you sign off on it.
Do you get a better price for ordering more pallets?
Yes. Volume pricing starts above three pallets, which matters most for contractors ordering a full flatbed. Current per-pallet pricing for a single pallet, before any volume discount, looks like this:
- Mexican Beach Pebbles — $1,042.50 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Diamond White — $1,275.00 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Snow White — $1,295.00 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Mini Mixed — $1,325.00 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Mixed — $1,395.00 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Salt and Pepper — $1,425.00 (1.5-ton pallet)
- Polished Black — $1,645.00 (1.4-ton pallet)
- Super Polished Black — $1,945.00 (1.4-ton pallet)
- Tiger Striped — $2,195.00 (1.4-ton pallet)
Get a quote for four-plus pallets and the per-unit price comes down from these listed rates — that's where the flatbed shipping method also kicks in, since it's more efficient per pallet than LTL.
How do you pay once the quote is confirmed?
By invoice. There's no card entry on the website itself — once your quote is finalized and you've confirmed the order, Beach Pebbles Direct sends an invoice and the delivery is scheduled against payment. This is the same process whether you're a homeowner ordering one pallet for a flower bed or a contractor ordering a dozen for a commercial job.
What if you only need one pallet?
One pallet is the minimum order — there's no way to buy a partial pallet or order stone by the bag. A single pallet still goes through the same quote process, just with LTL freight and curbside unloading instead of flatbed. If you're choosing between the polished finishes (Polished Black, Super Polished Black, Tiger Striped) for a single small area, keep in mind the gloss finish on these can dull or fade with prolonged full-sun exposure — worth asking about if your project is in direct Florida sun most of the day.
How fast does it ship once the invoice is paid?
Most of Florida gets next-day delivery. The rest of the Southeast runs 2-3 days, and Beach Pebbles Direct also delivers into the Caribbean. Delivery timing is confirmed as part of the quote, so you'll know the window before you pay, not after.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy less than a full pallet?
No. One pallet is the minimum order on every color.
Is there a discount for ordering in bulk?
Yes — volume pricing applies above three pallets, and orders of four or more ship flatbed instead of LTL.
Can I pay online with a card at checkout?
No. There's no online checkout. You request a quote, confirm the order, and pay by invoice.
