Sourcing fine pea gravel

turfthrower · 2023-04-20 10:41:05

Anyone have any good tips or advice on where to source high quality pea gravel? Looking for something quite fine to fill in the edges of a patio etc.

Most larger builders merchants will have a selection of bagged decorative gravel (normally 20-25kg bags) example .....

If you need a lot then you can normally get pea gravel in one tonne bags.
Smallest size you can get is about 6mm but 8-10mm is the more common range.

Wake me up when it's all over.

You could use this if you're looking for something really fine

Just be aware that the finer the gravel - and pea gravel being roundish is worse than most - the more likely it is to walk into the house on shoes, it wanders across paths - honestly, it grows little legs and hikes - and kids love it, they can throw it around in handfuls.
