Crushed rock best used for paths, walkways or top dressing for existing limestone driveways. Very few fines—packs fair.

Pea Gravel:
Not crushed. Round rocks okay for drainage, paths and walkways. Not for use in driveways—does not pack very well.

Children’s sandboxes, setting patio stones or brick. Good additive to hard clay soil to break it up and improve drainage.
