Pea gravel, also known as pea shingle, consists of small stones with rounded edges that have become smooth as a result of natural weathering.
The stones are very small, usually only around 6-10mm, and come in a range of colours, including neutral colours like grey and brown but also more vibrant colours like pink and blue.
It tends to be chosen over crushed stone for landscaping projects because it has an appealing aesthetic. Common applications include flower bed landscaping and driveways and walkways, which we explore in more detail below.
Landscaping – because of its colourful tones and smooth texture, pea gravel can be a fantastic accompaniment to many landscaping projects, such as around flower beds.
Driveways – pea gravel is very durable with good drainage and is also easy to maintain, making it a solid choice for driveways.
Walkways – because of its smooth surfaces and rounded edges, pea gravel can be an attractive and safe walkway material, while providing a satisfying crunch underfoot.
Base for paving stones – due to its small size and natural strength, pea gravel can form a solid foundation beneath paving stones.
Mulching material around plants – pea gravel prevents weed growth and retains moisture, making it a good choice of mulching material.
House borders – pea gravel has excellent drainage and acts as a barrier against rodents as they can’t dig through it.
