Pea Gravel (5/16″)
Applications & Uses
Pea Gravel in a 5/16" Size Range
Pea gravel in a 5/16" size range is a naturally rounded aggregate known for its small, uniform size and smooth texture. Produced by screening and washing natural river rock or crushed stone, this material is free of dust and debris, making it clean and easy to handle.
The 5/16" size is ideal for projects where a compact, stable surface is needed without sacrificing drainage. Its small, rounded stones are comfortable underfoot, making it a popular choice for pathways, playgrounds, and patios. In landscaping, it's often used as a decorative ground cover or in garden beds to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Pea gravel's excellent drainage properties also make it suitable for French drains and other water management applications. While its smoothness prevents compaction for load-bearing surfaces, it excels in areas where comfort, appearance, and drainage are priorities.
