Pea Gravel 10mm

Our Pea Gravel is a premium quartzite gravel known for its elegant golden and tan brown hues. Its naturally glistening surface and rounded shape make it a versatile choice for enhancing outdoor spaces with a polished, decorative touch.

Quartzite Composition: Unlike standard "Pea Shingle" or "Golden Gravel," Pea Gravel's quartzite base adds a luxurious and refined quality, ideal for garden borders, water features, and ornamental landscaping.

Aesthetic Appeal: Its golden tones and smooth, rounded texture lend a sophisticated look, perfect for decorative applications.

Decorative Gardens: Perfect for enhancing borders, rockeries, and complementing water features.

Pathways & Driveways: Suitable for lighter traffic areas; however, its rounded shape means it doesn't interlock as securely as angular gravel, making it best suited for aesthetics over structural support.

Choose from 10mm, 14mm, or 20mm gravel sizes to tailor your project with precision, whether for intricate designs or broader coverage.

Pea Gravel delivers both beauty and functionality, transforming your garden with its natural elegance and warm color palette.

How to Lay Pea Gravel in Your Garden

Incorporating Pea Gravel into your garden is a straightforward project, perfect for intermediate DIYers or gardening enthusiasts. As a trusted provider of decorative stones, we offer everything you need to simplify the process. Follow our guide for expert tips on installing Pea Gravel as a charming garden feature.

Prepare a Stable Base

For garden borders or pathways, consider laying a base layer like Limestone Type 1 (MOT Type 1). This graded 40mm limestone provides a durable foundation, especially useful for high-traffic areas such as driveways. While optional for purely decorative features, it adds stability and longevity.

Measure Your Area

Accurately measure the space where Pea Gravel will be applied. Use our Quantity Calculator to estimate the amount of base material and gravel required.

Lay Weed Fabric

To prevent weeds from growing through the gravel, use Weed Fabric, which is available in various sizes to suit different areas. This step ensures low-maintenance upkeep and a polished appearance.

Spread the Pea Gravel

Once the base and fabric are in place, evenly distribute the Pea Gravel. Smooth the surface as needed for a neat finish.

Maintain Over Time

Pea Gravel requires minimal upkeep. Plan for an annual top-up to maintain its fresh, vibrant look.

Additional Tips:

Dust Removal: Natural variations in decorative stones can include some dust. Rinse your Pea Gravel with water to reveal its true colors and natural shine.

Color Variations: As Pea Gravel is a naturally sourced product, slight differences in shade may occur from batch to batch. These variations add unique character to your garden.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a beautiful, durable feature that enhances your garden’s appeal with minimal effort!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to our Decorative Stones being a naturally-sourced product, there will always be some variation from batch to batch, especially in terms of colour. On occasion, your garden stones may be very dusty; we recommend hosing your new stones down to wash them and reveal their true colour.

How to Lay Pea Gravel in Your Garden

Maintaining 10mm Pea Gravel is an easy process that keeps it functional and visually appealing. Follow these steps to ensure your gravel stays in excellent condition:

Regular Cleaning

Raking or Sweeping: Remove leaves, dirt, and debris with a rake or broom to keep the gravel looking fresh.

Pressure Washing: For heavier buildup, use a pressure washer on a low setting. Avoid displacing the gravel by focusing on the dirt and grime.

Weed Management

Weed Fabric: If a weed barrier was installed, it should reduce growth significantly. Inspect regularly for stray weeds and pull them out by hand.

Natural Weed Killers: If needed, apply eco-friendly solutions like diluted vinegar or organic weed killers to eliminate weeds without harming the surrounding environment.

Replenishing Gravel

Inspect for Thinning: Over time, foot traffic and weather can cause the gravel to shift or thin in areas.

Top-Up Gravel: Periodically add fresh 10mm Pea Gravel to maintain even coverage and restore its decorative appeal.

Edge Maintenance

Secure Edging: Check and reinforce any garden edging, such as bricks or timber, to keep the gravel contained and prevent scattering.

After Rainfall

Redistribute Gravel: Heavy rain may displace gravel. Use a rake to even out any shifted stones and restore the surface.

Avoid Compaction

Limit Heavy Traffic: While ideal for pathways and borders, avoid excessive heavy use in high-traffic areas to prevent the gravel from compacting.

Ensure Drainage: Proper drainage prevents standing water, which can cause gravel displacement or erosion.

Protecting Color and Texture

Minimize Sun Exposure: Although Pea Gravel is colorfast, prolonged sun exposure may dull its natural tones. Consider shaded areas for decorative features.

Hose Down Dust: Over time, gravel may collect dust. Rinse it occasionally to reveal its true colors.

By following these simple maintenance tips, your 10mm Pea Gravel will remain an attractive and practical element of your garden design, perfect for borders, pathways, or water features.
