Linda, I don't care for pea gravel for paths. The roundness of the pea gravel makes it difficult to roll wheelbarrows and walk across.
Instead I prefer and use small crushed gravel ( angular in shape) that has a lot of granite or other type of stone fines ( fine particles) mixed in with the gravel.
This assists the gravel in compacting down into a asphalt like surface, making it easy to clean, walk across and drag stuff across.
Check your local quarries or landscape supply shops for small crushed gravel with fines.
I'm irreverent.

Michele...what do you find best for paths like your pina colada garden? Pea gravel? Dirt?
We are trying to figure it out!

Thanks Michelle...I'll check it out! We are in dire need of finding the right "path" for our paths!
One more question...do you always put an edger in...or just depending on what is on the other side of it?
