Pea Gravel Tips
- Pea gravel is naturally rounded and smooth, making it comfortable to walk on barefoot unlike angular gravel.
- Use 2-3 inches of pea gravel for walkways and patios. It shifts underfoot, so borders or edging are essential.
- Pea gravel provides excellent drainage and is ideal for French drains and around downspout discharge areas.
- Install landscape fabric underneath to prevent pea gravel from sinking into the soil over time.
- Pea gravel comes in various natural colors including tan, brown, white, and mixed. Color affects price.
- One cubic yard of pea gravel weighs about 2,600 lbs (1.3 tons) and covers roughly 162 sq ft at 2 inches deep.
