Decorative stone · Tsakkili
Decorative stone (tsakkili) for flower beds, pathways and yards across the Paphos district: white pebbles, black gravel, red volcanic stone or a mix. Clean lines, fewer weeds and a garden that looks finished all year.
Stone types
Four popular looks for gardens in the Paphos district. Not sure which suits your space? Tell us about it and we will help you choose.
Example photo01Rounded pebbles
Smooth, rounded white stones: the classic Mediterranean look. White reflects the sun, so beds stay cooler, and olive trees, shrubs and garden lights stand out against it, day and night.
Best for
Good to know: Fallen leaves and dust show on white, so a quick blow or rinse now and then keeps it bright.
Example photo02Angular chippings
Dark grey to black chippings with a modern, architectural feel. Light paving slabs and garden lights look sharp against it, and it hides dust and leaves far better than white. The angular pieces lock together, so it stays put underfoot.
Best for
Good to know: Dark stone soaks up the summer sun and gets hot, so it is best kept away from spots where people walk barefoot.
Example photo03Lava stone
Light, porous lava stone in a warm terracotta red. It brings strong colour next to green lawns and hedges, and because it is porous it holds a little moisture for the plants around it.
Best for
Good to know: Because it is so light, a firm edging along lawns and paths keeps it in place.
Example photo04Two colours
Two stones, one design. A ribbon of white pebbles against black chippings draws curves and borders that look sharp from every window, perfect beside a row of cypress trees or a clipped hedge.
Best for
Good to know: An edging strip between the two colours keeps the lines clean and stops them mixing over time.
