Great post and subject - very inspiring. I do admire pebble paving. I must look up Jeffrey Bale’s work. Here in the UK we had the amazing Maggy Howarth, who sadly died this year. I was fortunate to see her design at Bonnington House near Edinburgh - her work is worth checking out online.

I believe the Asian garden in the Denver Botanic Gardens (one of my most favorite public gardens) also has beautiful pebble paving.

Hi Carol- How great to hear from you! I think they might pop out of the mortar in our part of the world....

I love mosaics and love pebble paving (I had a pebble tile shower installed in my master bath. Love it!). Thank you for such an interesting and visually appealing post.
