Plan pea gravel for a path, patio or play-free garden space. It is comfortable to walk on, and it does tend to migrate.
How it works
Area × depth gives cubic feet. The result converts to yards, half-cubic-foot bags and tons.
Before you order
- Plan about 3 inches for a walkway, with a firm base below it.
- Use a solid metal or stone edge, since small round gravel moves easily.
- Stabilizer grids keep pea gravel usable on gentle slopes.
Common questions
Is pea gravel good for a walkway?
Yes on level ground with an edge and a compacted base. It can be loose on slopes.
