What are standard pebbles?

Standard pool pebbles are small, naturally rounded stones that create a durable and slip-resistant surface when applied to a pool interior. Unlike tiles or paint, which can chip or fade, pebbles offer a permanent textured finish that blends beautifully with the surrounding environment.

These pebbles are specially selected for their strength and natural colour variation, then combined with cement and carefully applied to form a resilient surface that is comfortable underfoot and visually timeless.

At O’Sullivan, our standard pebble finishes are not simply an add-on – they’re a key part of how we transform and protect pool interiors across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and South East Queensland.

We use standard pebbles for:

  • New pool interiors – ideal for homeowners or builders seeking a natural aesthetic.
  • Pool resurfacing and renovations – a cost-effective way to refresh and strengthen existing surfaces.
  • Commercial installations – from resort pools to community facilities, we deliver quality finishes built to last.

Our standard pebbles differ from glass blends, offering a classic, matte look with a more natural tone and texture – ideal for those who prefer understated, traditional pool finishes.

Our standard pebble range

Each project begins with selecting the right blend of pebbles to suit your pool’s design and your personal preferences. We offer a diverse palette of colours and textures, allowing you to customise the look and feel of your pool interior.

Colour options

Our Standard Pebble Range includes a variety of natural tones – from light, tropical whites to deep, coastal blues. Common choices include:

  • Whitehaven – a bright, crisp finish that enhances water clarity and makes your pool appear larger.
  • Pacific Blue – a mid-blue tone ideal for resort-style pools with rich, cool undertones.
  • Coral Stone – a natural blend of tan and grey pebbles for a timeless, earthy look.
  • Charcoal Mist – sleek and contemporary, perfect for architectural designs.
  • Ocean Blend – a mix of light and dark pebbles that mimic the depth and shimmer of natural water.

All finishes can be custom-blended to achieve a unique look for your pool. We also offer polished options for a smoother touch or traditional exposed finishes for added texture.

How standard pebbles are applied

Our application process has been refined over decades to ensure the highest quality results, every time.

  1. Surface preparation
    The pool is drained, cleaned, and inspected for cracks or imperfections. Any necessary repairs are completed before the pebble mix is applied.
  2. Pebble application
    The pebble mix – a combination of premium stones and cement – is applied by hand to the interior surface. Our team carefully spreads the mixture to create a uniform coating that adheres securely.
  3. Finishing and polishing
    Once the mixture sets, the surface is lightly exposed or polished, revealing the pebbles’ natural beauty and achieving the desired texture.
  4. Curing and sealing
    The pool is filled and allowed to cure properly, strengthening the bond and ensuring long-term durability. A final inspection ensures the finish is perfectly smooth and evenly coloured.

Every stage is managed by our experienced technicians, who use only the best materials and techniques to deliver a premium, high-performance pool interior.

Benefits of standard pebbles

Choosing the Standard Pebble Range comes with a wide range of functional and aesthetic advantages.

1. Long-lasting durability

Standard pebbles are built to endure. They resist fading, cracking, and wear from pool chemicals or Queensland’s intense UV exposure, making them ideal for both residential and commercial pools.

2. Low maintenance

The natural texture helps prevent algae and mineral build-up, reducing the need for constant cleaning. With proper care, your pool’s surface can last 20 years or more.

3. Timeless, natural aesthetic

Each pebble blend offers a beautiful, organic look that complements your outdoor space. Whether you want a tropical resort feel or a contemporary urban design, pebbles deliver elegance that never goes out of style.

4. Slip-resistant and family-friendly

The lightly textured surface provides natural grip, making it safer for families, children, and commercial use.

5. Cost-effective upgrade

Compared to full pool replacements or tiling, pebble finishes provide a durable and visually appealing result at a fraction of the cost.

6. Environmentally conscious materials

Our pebbles are sourced from natural, sustainable suppliers, reducing waste while maintaining quality and consistency.
