Any idea of something what looks better around these edges where the white stones are ?

Its there to reduce the amount of rain splashing up onto the wall above the DPC. Many garden centres have a range of different colours of granite chips and gravel. Perhaps grey would  less conspicuous? Perhaps a multi colour wouldn't show dirt as much?

How deep  is it?

 

Perhaps "River Pebbles" of some size or other. Or shingle. Or perhaps slate chips.

 

Or you could use some sort of rubbed glass.

 

I think the main thing is to be backward visually rather than forwards. So it needs to be darker or the same as the pavers. .

Test how some of your new proposal will look in the rain. Can add interest.

 

eg These are my bigger river pebbles.
