Pea Gravel vs Crushed Gravel

The difference comes down to shape: rounded stone rolls, angular stone locks.

Pea gravel

  • Rounded and smooth
  • Comfortable underfoot
  • Migrates without edging
  • Good for paths, infill and decorative areas

Crushed gravel

  • Angular and interlocking
  • Stays in place under traffic
  • Compacts into a firm surface
  • Good for driveways and bases

Which to order

If vehicles will drive on it, choose crushed. If people will walk on it or you want the look, pea gravel usually wins.
