Decorative rocks are graded landscaping stone, not random garden ornaments. US yards use pea gravel on paths, river rock in dry creeks, lava rock in beds, and boulders as anchors. Size (about 3/8 inch peas versus 1–5 inch river rock) and whether the stone is rounded or crushed decide footing and drainage. Landscape fabric underneath is a separate SKU.
Match size to foot traffic, and skip polished indoor pebbles that never list a landscape grade or coverage per bag.
