Pea Gravel, 3/8" Round, Washed

3/8" round, washed pea gravel is a small, smooth aggregate known for its naturally rounded shape and clean, dust-free finish. Produced by screening and washing river or quarried stone, this material is free of debris and fine particles, making it ideal for projects where cleanliness and comfort are priorities.

The 3/8" size ensures excellent drainage while providing a stable surface that is gentle underfoot, making it a popular choice for pathways, playgrounds, dog runs, and patio areas. Its round, washed attribute reduces compaction, which is beneficial for drainage applications such as French drains, planter beds, and around pipe installations. While its smoothness enhances safety and aesthetics, it may shift under heavy loads, so it's less suitable for high-traffic driveways. Overall, this pea gravel offers a versatile, attractive, and low-maintenance solution for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
