Pea Gravel, Washed, Stone Grade (#16 to 1/2")

Pea gravel in a washed, stone grade with a #16 to 1/2" size range is a versatile aggregate composed of small, smooth stones. The washing process removes dust, clay, and debris, resulting in clean, attractive pebbles that are ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications. The #16 to 1/2" size ensures the stones are small enough for comfortable walking surfaces yet large enough to provide effective drainage.

This specific size and washed attribute make pea gravel an excellent choice for pathways, patios, playgrounds, and decorative ground cover, as well as for use in drainage systems and pipe bedding. The smooth, rounded texture is gentle underfoot, making it safer for bare feet and ideal for residential settings. Additionally, the clean finish reduces dust and maintenance. While pea gravel does not compact as firmly as angular stone, its superior drainage and aesthetic appeal make it a popular option for both DIY projects and professional installations.
