A pallet of Mexican Beach Pebbles starts at $1,042.50, and prices climb to $2,195 for Tiger Striped polished pebbles. Depending on color and finish, that works out to $6.95 to $15.68 per square foot installed at the standard 2-inch depth, before shipping.
Below is what each of our nine colors actually costs per pallet right now, what a pallet covers, and the other line items (shipping, volume breaks) that move your total.
How much does a pallet of beach pebbles cost?
Here's current per-pallet pricing for every color we stock, plus what that works out to per square foot at a 2-inch installed depth (the depth we recommend for all of these stones). Six of our nine colors ship on 1.5-ton (3,000 lb) pallets that cover about 150 sq ft; the three polished finishes ship on 1.4-ton (2,800 lb) pallets that cover about 140 sq ft.
| Color | Price per pallet | Pallet size | Coverage (2" depth) | Cost per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mexican Beach Pebbles | $1,042.50 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $6.95 |
| Diamond White | $1,192.50 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $7.95 |
| Snow White* | $1,295.00 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $8.63 |
| Mini Mixed | $1,325.00 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $8.83 |
| Mixed | $1,395.00 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $9.30 |
| Salt and Pepper | $1,425.00 | 1.5 ton | ~150 sq ft | $9.50 |
| Polished Black | $1,645.00 | 1.4 ton | ~140 sq ft | $11.75 |

Everything on that list sells by the pallet, with a one-pallet minimum. There's no per-bag or per-scoop option, and no online checkout — you request a quote or call, and we invoice you.
Why do polished pebbles cost 25-70% more than natural ones?
Polished Black, Super Polished Black, and Tiger Striped go through an extra tumbling and polishing process that natural colors like Mexican Beach Pebbles and Salt and Pepper skip, which is where the price gap comes from. They also ship on the smaller 1.4-ton pallet instead of 1.5 tons, so you're getting slightly less coverage per pallet on top of the higher per-pallet price — both reasons the cost-per-square-foot gap looks bigger than the sticker price gap.
One honest tradeoff worth knowing before you order: polished pebbles can fade with prolonged full-sun exposure. If the install is a shaded courtyard or a covered planter, that's not a concern. If it's a south-facing driveway edge in direct Florida sun all day, a natural finish will hold its look longer.
How many pallets do I need for my project?
Divide your square footage by the coverage number in the table above, then round up. A few common sizes at 2 inches deep:
- 300 sq ft bed in Mexican Beach Pebbles: 2 pallets ($2,085)
- 450 sq ft pool deck border in Salt and Pepper: 3 pallets ($4,275)
- 280 sq ft planting bed in Tiger Striped: 2 pallets ($4,390)
Two inches is the depth we recommend and the depth those coverage numbers assume. Go deeper and you'll need more pallets per square foot; go shallower and weeds and the underlying base will show through faster than you'd like.
What else changes the total price?
Three things beyond the per-pallet price:
Volume pricing. Order above three pallets and volume pricing kicks in — call or request a quote for your exact project size and we'll quote it against the live price.
Shipping method. Orders under four pallets ship LTL with curbside unloading. Four pallets or more ship flatbed. Either way, we deliver next day across Florida in most cases, 2-3 days to the rest of the Southeast, and we also serve the Caribbean.
Payment. There's no checkout on the site — you call or submit a quote request, and we invoice you. That's also where any volume pricing gets applied, so the number you see on the product page is the starting point, not always the final number on a multi-pallet order.
FAQ
Is there a minimum order?
Yes — one pallet minimum on every color. We don't sell by the bag or by the scoop.
Do prices include delivery?
Delivery is quoted separately based on your location and order size. Call 904-685-9550 or request a quote and we'll give you a landed total, not just the per-pallet price.
How fast will my order arrive?
Next day in most of Florida, 2-3 days for the rest of the Southeast. We ship from our Jacksonville yard (7643 Gate Parkway) and our Miami yard, whichever gets to you faster.
Can I pay online?
Not currently. Call or request a quote, and we'll invoice you directly — no online checkout.
