Pea gravel
What is pea gravel?
Pea gravel is small, naturally rounded river rock, roughly the size of a pea. The smooth, water-worn stones have no fines, so water drains right through instead of puddling.
It's a popular choice for garden paths, play areas, dog runs, fire pit areas and landscape beds. Because it's round, it stays loose and comfortable underfoot instead of packing down hard.

Keeping it in place? Pea gravel rolls and shifts, so edging around paths and beds helps keep it where you want it. Landscape fabric underneath helps keep weeds down.

Pea gravel questions
Pea gravel is small, rounded stone roughly the size of a pea. It's a natural river rock, so you'll see a mix of colors and slight differences in size.
It's not the best choice. Because the stones are round, they roll and shift under tires and won't pack down. For driveways, 3/4" minus is a much more stable option.
No. The smooth, round stones don't have fines to lock together, so it stays loose. That makes it comfortable underfoot and great for drainage, and edging helps keep it in place.
Round rock is river rock that's been smoothed by water, so it stays loose, drains well and has a natural look. Crushed rock has sharp, fractured edges that lock together and compact into a firm surface for driveways and pads.
