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.
Looking fabulous! How are your plants coming back from the winter cold? Are most recovering?
ReplyDelete-Wow!- Happy Spring, indeed!
