Pea Gravel (Paving) 6mm 1000Kg Jumbo Bag
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.
What Is Pea Gravel Used For?
Pea gravel is a versatile landscaping and construction material, commonly used for:
1. Pathways & Walkways
Soft underfoot and provides good drainage.
Ideal for informal garden paths or walkways through flower beds.
2. Driveways
Offers a decorative finish with excellent drainage.
Works best when contained by borders or edging.
3. Ground Cover / Mulching
Used around plants or in flower beds as a decorative mulch.
Helps suppress weeds and retains soil moisture.
4. Patio Base or Surface
Can be used alone or as a base for pavers or flagstones.
Creates a rustic, natural look.
5. Drainage Projects
Excellent for use in French drains or around pipes due to its permeability.
Prevents waterlogging around foundations or in garden beds.
