Pea gravel is a type of small, rounded stone typically about the size of a pea (hence the name), usually ranging from 6mm to 10mm in diameter. It comes in various colors—greys, whites, tans, and browns—depending on the source material. The stones have a smooth texture due to natural weathering or processing in a rock tumbler.
Not a decorative stone, for use as a base filler for paving bricks
6mm Pea Gravel – 1000kg Jumbo Bag for Paving & Landscaping
This 6mm pea gravel consists of small, rounded stones typically ranging from 6mm to 10mm in diameter. Naturally smooth in texture and available in neutral tones such as greys, whites, tans, and browns, it is ideal for use in landscaping and groundwork applications. The gravel’s uniform size and surface are the result of natural weathering or mechanical processing.
Common Uses for Pea Gravel
Pea gravel is a versatile aggregate material suitable for a wide range of outdoor projects:
1. Pathways & Walkways
Provides a soft walking surface with natural drainage. Well-suited for informal garden paths or walkways around landscaped areas.
2. Driveways
Offers a clean, natural finish. Works best when contained within defined edging to maintain structure and prevent displacement.
3. Ground Cover / Mulch Alternative
Used around plants or borders for a neat, decorative finish. Helps maintain soil conditions and reduce surface weed growth when used with a barrier.
4. Patio Base or Surface Layer
Can be used on its own for a rustic look or as a compactable base beneath paving slabs and flagstones.
5. Drainage Projects
Highly permeable, making it effective in applications such as French drains, soakaways, or general garden drainage.
6. Play Areas
Occasionally used in non-impact play zones as a surface material (not recommended for areas used by toddlers or where soft fall surfaces are required).
Installation Notes
Movement: Loose gravel may shift with foot traffic. Consider stabilizing for areas requiring firm footing..
Containment: Edging (e.g., timber, steel, or brick) is recommended to keep gravel in place.
Weed Control: Often paired with landscape fabric underneath to help reduce weed growth.
