Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is a type of small, rounded stone typically about the size of a pea, hence the name. It is commonly used in landscaping for pathways, patios, garden beds, and as a decorative ground cover. Pea gravel comes in a variety of natural colors, including shades of brown, gray, and white, which can complement a wide range of landscape designs. Its smooth texture makes it comfortable to walk on, and its small size allows it to compact well, creating a stable surface that resists shifting. Pea gravel is also often used as a base layer for pavers or as a drainage material due to its ability to allow water to pass through easily. While it is a low-maintenance material, pea gravel can occasionally migrate out of place, so it may require some occasional raking or replenishment. It is a versatile and cost-effective option for homeowners looking to add texture and visual interest to their outdoor spaces, while also providing functional benefits like improved drainage and weed suppression.
