What North Little Rock yards ask pea gravel to do

North Little Rock has about 64,000 residents, and many yards here are established, with older walkways and beds that get reworked over the years. Typical jobs are a walkway rebuilt in gravel, a border redone around a patio, or a low bed that finally gets a clean top layer. Little Rock is about 4 miles away and Conway about 24 miles, so the wider metro area is part of the picture too.

Reworking older yards

Many of the people who order this stone are redoing something that already exists, such as a worn path or a bed that has turned to mud. Small crews who work on older yards also order it, because the stone is easy to spread around existing plants and beds without disturbing the roots.

Best uses for pea gravel in North Little Rock

Pea gravel is a good match for garden paths, the strip beside a fence line, and play areas where you want a surface that is easy to rake. The rounded pieces shift a little underfoot, which some people like on a casual path and others find less stable on a steep walk.

A gravel layer also suits the top of a drainage bed. Water runs down through the open spaces rather than sitting on the surface, so the border keeps its shape and looks neat between visits.

• Garden paths: rounded stone is comfortable to walk on and simple to keep tidy.
• Fence lines: a band of gravel keeps mowers and edgers from chewing into the soil.
• Backyard play spaces: a surface that shifts a bit underfoot and takes a rake well.
• Accent beds: tan stone that sets off the greenery around it.

About Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is stone that water has rounded over time, so each piece has a smooth face with no sharp corners. Typical pieces run about 1/4 to 3/8 inch, and the color is tan to mixed. Together those traits make a surface that is easy on the feet and simple to rake into shape.

Each cubic yard weighs about 2,800 lb. Orders are placed by the ton, and a ton comes to about seven-tenths of a yard, so the figures are easy to convert once you know the size of the area. The pieces roll against each other, which means a path can shift a little under foot and benefits from a light raking now and then.

Pea gravel is a good match for walkways, play spaces, patio edges and decorative beds. It is not made for vehicle traffic, because rounded stones slide under tires rather than interlocking. A crushed stone with angular faces is the better option for a drive.
