What is pea gravel (#89 stone)?
Pea gravel is small stone about the size of a pea, around ⅜″. Classic pea gravel is river rock, rounded and multi-colored.
Is pea gravel good for drainage?
Yes. With the fines washed out, water passes straight through, so it works for small French drains, around downspouts and under decks. For big drains, #57 moves more water.
How do you keep pea gravel in place?
Lay landscape fabric first, then 2–3 in of gravel, and edge the area with pavers, steel or timber. Without an edge, small stone migrates onto lawns and walkways.
Is pea gravel good for driveways?
Not on its own: small, loose stone shifts under tires. For a driveway, use #57 over crusher run road base; keep pea gravel for paths, patios and ground cover.
What pea gravel is used for
- Driveways on its own (use #57 over road base)
- Paver bases that need to compact (use stone dust or road base)
- Structural fill
- Playground surfacing unless it's rounded pea gravel
How much pea gravel do I need, and what does it cost delivered?

What to expect when your pea gravel is delivered
Where will the truck dump it?
Dumped from the street or driveway.
Do I need to be home?
Best if someone is there to show the driver the spot. Not required: ask for a photo of the drop.
Will it be spread?
No. Pea gravel arrives in one pile and isn't spread on site, so plan a skid steer, wheelbarrows and rakes, or a crew, to move it into place.
Can the truck reach my backyard?
A backyard works if the entrance is wide enough. Off the public road, you take responsibility for any damage.
How much fits on one truck?
About 21 tons. Larger orders arrive in several loads. The minimum order is 1 ton; small loads cost more per ton because delivery is included in the price, with no separate delivery fee.
