Gravel
We deliver every gradePea Gravel
Pea gravel is small, round rock about the size of a garden pea. Most of it runs 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch, smooth from years of tumbling in a riverbed. It won't lock together the way crushed stone does, so you walk on it and it shifts a little under your foot. Water drains through it fast, which is why you'll see it around foundations, under pipes, and in French drains.
The name is literal. The pieces are pea-sized, and that's the whole test. Under a screen it usually lands in the #8 or #89 range, and you'll see it sold as natural river rock (rounded, tan and gray) or as crushed limestone at the same size (angular, one color). River-washed costs more per ton because the color and the round shape are what you're paying for. Crushed limestone at pea size is cheaper and works fine under pavers where nobody sees it.

What people use it for
How to choose within pea gravel
Foot traffic
Pea gravel and river rock feel good barefoot but shift underfoot; use a border so they stay where you put them.
Vehicle traffic
Round gravel rolls under tires. Pick angular crushed stone for a driveway; save rounded gravel for garden paths and beds.
Drainage
All of these drain well. Bigger pieces drain faster; smaller pieces pack tighter.
