Pea Gravel (1/4″)
Applications & Uses
Pea Gravel in a 1/4" Size Range
Pea gravel in a 1/4" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate known for its small, smooth stones. Produced by screening and washing river rock or crushed stone, this material is prized for its uniform, compact size and comfortable texture.
The 1/4" size makes pea gravel especially versatile for both residential and commercial projects. Its small, rounded stones are gentle underfoot, making it ideal for pathways, playgrounds, and patios. The fine size also allows for excellent drainage, which is beneficial for garden beds, French drains, and as a base layer for pavers. While its loose nature means it doesn't compact as firmly as angular gravel, this attribute enhances permeability and reduces runoff. However, it may shift under heavy traffic, so it's best used in low- to moderate-traffic areas or contained spaces.
