3/8" Pea Gravel

3/8" Pea Gravel in Austin, TX

3/8" Pea Gravel is a smooth, rounded river rock that offers a natural blend of tan, brown, and gray tones. Its small size and soft edges make it comfortable underfoot and one of the most popular decorative gravel options for residential landscaping.

Pea gravel is ideal for homeowners looking for a clean, finished look with excellent drainage.

• Rake occasionally to keep the surface level.
• Replenish low spots over time as natural shifting occurs.
• Install edging to help contain the gravel.
• Blow off leaves and debris to maintain a neat appearance.

Because it is rounded, pea gravel will shift more than crushed stone, so periodic leveling is normal.

1. Clear grass, weeds, and debris from the area.
2. Install landscape fabric for added weed control.
3. Add a compacted base layer if installing for patios or heavy traffic areas.
4. Spread pea gravel evenly across the surface.
5. Level to desired depth.
